Quilted Northern Ultra Soft & Strong bath tissue is now available in Meijer stores! This new premium bath tissue is designed to be strong, flexible, and soft. This helps you get a confident clean every time – gently!

Meijer sent us over a package that included the new Quilted Northern Ultra Soft & Strong bath tissue! I normally buy the most inexpensive bath tissue possible because with six people in the house we use quite a bit. I was impressed with the softness without it being too thick.

Additional Note: Quilted Northern Ultra Soft & Strong is 100% Biodegradable and is sewer and septic safe.

If you love to cook and be creative in the kitchen, you will love The Stackable Appetizer Maker. I love it because it gives even people like me (kitchen newbies) the tools for success. I can’t wait to use it this summer! I think this Ham & Swiss sandwiches would work well and look nice! Using your own creativity, you can design a unlimited number of recipes including the 40+ recipe suggestions included with your package.

Here’s How it Works: 

• Place the “Cut and Carry Base” in the main body
• Next layer the ingredients, starting and ending with dry ingredients
• Place layers in desired thickness or until main body is full.
• Once in place, cut into bite size pieces through the guide posts embedded in the main body.
• It is easy to lift up your creations with the handles attached to the “Cut and Carry Base”

You don’t have to tell anyone how easy it was to make your beautiful and professional looking creations!

For more information and to see how easy it is to use The Stackable Appetizer Maker you can watch this demo.

I have an obsession with cook books. I love to buy and display but often I don’t get around to actually using them beyond browsing the beautiful pictures.  My youngest daughter seems to enjoy perusing cookbooks as well. As soon as she saw this Homemade With Love, she excitedly screamed out we are going to make doughnuts! The past year, I’ve tried to cook more items at home and use less convenience meals so this book seemed to be great a fit.

“It’s satisfying, simple, and better than anything that will come from a jar or the frozen food section of the supermarket.”

This is a quote from the introduction in the book and it really struck me. This is so true as I no longer can even stand the thought of canned soups. I prefer the soups I make myself at home, which are also healthier and cost less money by making from scratch.

Homemade With Love is a beautifully photographed book along with nice thick pages as well as wonderfully written.  To get started, there is a section on setting up a homemade kitchen with the items you should stock in your pantry, fridge, and freezer.

There are so many things I’ve purchased in box or canned format in the past that can be easily made at home such as all purpose baking mix, granola, nut butters, marinara, and many more. I’ve been experimenting with my own homemade items such as vanilla caramel coffee creamer  and it is much more satisfying.

I’m excited to get started on these homemade recipes! Many of which look super simple but delicious. First on the list will be the Lemon Buttermilk Doughnuts for Sof!

If you have been following, I’ve been decluttering my house as part of my “spring” cleaning. I type “spring” because it’s still freezing here in Indiana!  Part of decluttering is going through the mounds of bank statements and other paperwork that has personal information on it.

One way to get rid of that paperwork safely is with a shredder. Fellowes sent me their new 73Ci shredder to help in my spring cleaning adventures! One of my biggest annoyances with shredders is jams. I will get overzealous and put in a huge stack of papers that gets stuck about half way through the shredding process. Then I have to turn it off so I can stick my fingers in there to get all those pieces of papers out.

Fellowes has a new powerful personal shredded that is 100% Jam Proof! To test this claim, I took a set of checks that were gone but still had the deposit slips left it in with the spine still on it. Usually I have to tear these out to get them to go through a shredder. I put it in the 73Ci shredder and it went mostly through. A little red light came on and I pressed on the rewind button or hold down the play buttong (that’s what it looks like) and it chomped up the rest. I was then able to put another piece of paper through the shredder with no incidents. I didn’t have to stick my hand in it to un-jam it or anything!

Other Features:

• SafeSense® Technology which automatically stops shredding when hands touch the paper opening
• A proprietary Energy Savings System which maximizes shredder energy savings 100% of the time – both in use and out of use
• Capacitive touch screen controls
• Heavy-duty Cross-Cut blades that destroy a single sheet of paper into 397 particles, making it nearly impossible to piece back together

I put together a short YouTube video:

Shredder is available at office supply stores such as Staples or Office Max and even Amazon.  Retails for $174.99.
