COST SAVING CHRISTMAS TREATS

It's crunch time,Christmas is right around the corner and most people are still looking for Christmas gifts for teachers,bus drivers,co-workers,neighbors or postal workers. As a mother on the go, I'm always looking for anything that will save me time and money!! Pecan Delight is my cost saving treat that I give out every year.I make enough to give out to the bus driver,teachers,janitorial staff at my children's schools and my co-workers. With the help of my children, I turned my kitchen into Santa's workshop, I made sure my kids took part in creating a tasty treat for their teachers,they really enjoyed personalizing the Christmas cards. Listed below is the recipe for my Pecan Delight, also a cute gift idea that I made for my co-workers.I brought a package of cute Christmas treat bags from the Dollar Tree and Christmas treat boxes and frosted bakery bags from Big Lots(my go to stores). I also brought several boxes of candy canes and a box of Christmas cards. All for the low price of $8!! After purchasing the sugar,butter,pecans,and graham crackers to make the Pecan Delight, I spent $15. For a little over $23 with tax, I was able to give 20 people tasty Christmas presents!! 



Pecan Delight
- 1 Cup Of Sugar
- 1 Cup of Pecans(More If You Desire)
- 1 Stick of Unsalted Butter

In a small saucepan over medium heat,combine your sugar, salted and unsalted butter.
Stir the ingredients until you bring it to a boil,continue to stir for 2-3 more minutes.
Remove from heat and spoon mixture over graham crackers( I like to use a basting brush to make sure I coat the crackers well).
Sprinkle pecans over the mixture, you can sprinkle as much as you like.
Place the baking sheet in the oven for 7 minutes,until golden. 
Make sure the crackers are cooled completely before serving. 

Line up your graham crackers on a baking sheet

Spoon Mixture over the crackers( I typically use a brush

After the graham crackers cool down, I put them in
the Christmas Treat Box for the teachers.

My Review On SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated

Montey ★★★★★
As a member of Crowdtap, I get to sample great products,I got the privilege to sample "Splenda  No Calorie Sweetener,Granulated". Usually people would shy away from using any type of sugar substitutes in their recipes but I found it dissolves without any problems and actually taste better than sugar. My fiance' is a diabetic so I use Splenda in the dishes I make for the family,He also has a sweet tooth so he really enjoys the desserts I make for him using Splenda. I'm the first to say that I've never made homemade dressing before but it was rather tasty and a big hit with the family. As you can tell in my picture below,my Aunt really enjoyed the "Baby Spinach ' n Bacon salad I made for her. I also made a special treat for the kids, Peppermint-Mocha Delight with Splenda . My kids enjoyed the sweet and peppermint flavor of the cocoa, the added bonus was the Sugar Free Whipped Cream(Shhhh they don't know it was sugar free but they really enjoyed it) I would highly recommend you using Splenda to cook your favorite desserts & dishes during the Holiday season, and tell your family how they can get the same great taste with No Calories!! #TeamSplenda

Always Do Your Homework When Shopping For Christmas Presents

Christmas is rapidly approaching and everyone is looking for great deals, but how do you know that you’re really getting the best deals out there? As a mother of 2, I’m all always looking for a great deal but I’ve learned over the years to do your homework!! Every store advertise“50% -75% off” or “lowest price ever” that shouldn’t prevent you from shopping around. I’ve learned the hard way not to be an impulse shopper, I’m now a firm believer in doing “my homework” first... I make sure the price the company advertise is really a great deal, I check other websites and compare prices. I’m a coupon queen at heart, I’m always using coupons online & in stores to make sure that I’m getting the best deal possible. Yes, you might get a funny look from other shoppers wanting you to hurry up and check out, but you’re the one that’s going to win in the end by saving money!! So take your time and make sure you’re getting every discount you possibly can. They’re several places that gives you a discount because of your place of employment, credit cards you have, mobile apps, and even your health insurance offers discounts as well!! Read up on these things and know your benefits so you don’t miss out on all the great discounts you could be using to save you money. Tell what how do you get more bang for your buck? What website or store do you visit to get the best deals?

Review On Robitussin's 12 Hour Cough Relief

5.0 stars   Bbk;     By: MONEKA

When you hear the name Robitussin,what is your reaction?? Whenever I mention cough syrup to my kids(no matter the brand) they immediately say "No mom it's going to taste horrible or it's the worst tasting cough medicine ever"!!! As a member of Crowdtap, I was chosen to review the new Robitussin's 12 hour Cough Relief. This review came at a great time because my son was battling a cold and couldn't stop coughing.He immediately started to say " I know this is going to taste bad mom," but I let him know that Robitussin has improved the taste of their cough medicine so it should taste great.My son loved the grape flavor, he was really surprised how great it taste and I was happy he got a good nights rest without waking up in the middle of the night in a coughing fit. Here's the big kicker, my son actually recommended this medicine to one of his friends at school that was battling a cold as well!!“ So cheers to you Robitussin for this great tasting 12 Cough Relief that kids can even brag to their friends about!! #MomAppprove

Folgers Flavors™ Coffee Enhancers Review

What Great Flavor Will You Choose?

Hot Chocolate With Flavor Enhancers

 My Cousin Enjoying Folgers Coffee Enhancers

I’m a member of the Crowdtap Folgers® rewards program, and Folgers sent me a sample of Folgers Flavors™ Coffee Enhancers to review". I love the new coffee enhancers,Caramel and French Vanilla is my favorite.The flavor isn't overwhelming, you can squeeze as little or as much as you want to get the taste you desire. I make a special blend called “Caramel Delight” where I mix Folgers Caramel Drizzle K-cup with French Vanilla creamer and Folgers Caramel coffee enhancer.Of course I have to top it off with a little whip cream, it’s like a sweet morning treat. You have to try it for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!! I also mix Caramel and French Vanilla enhancers in my kids Hot Chocolate, they absolutely love it!! What better way to start the football season off (“Go Steelers”!!) with my favorite coffee mug & caramel coffee enhancer. #Yummy
