Found a place for my pictures!

I just realized that I never posted photos of my finished picture hanging. As you might remember from here I was trying to decide where to hang some pictures. They are hung!

And now I need to go somewhere so I can add more to my collection! :-D

I love deals!

When I was growing up one of the things that we loved to do at the grocery was go to the bent can "aisle". This aisle could be a shopping cart or shelf space - never a whole aisle and always in the back - with reduced sale items. When I moved to NYC I learned in my Food Safety Class that you shouldn't eat bent cans because they promote salmonella (I think). This made me think 2 things: why did my mother try to kill us as children and why are they bent cans for sale for the full price at my neighborhood grocery? The first question was dismissed as we all survived, but the 2nd is still a real question (sometimes the only option for something is bent cans!). Well, this summer I found the reduced aisle at one store - it resulted in me buying a box of cereal that included a rebate for more than the cereal cost me ;-). And last night I hit it again.

Review: Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Crust & Pizza Sauce

We were sent samples of Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Pizza Crust & Pizza Sauce. We rounded out our samples with Kroger Pizza Blend Cheese, Kroger Pepperoni and Kroger Bella Mushrooms. What can I say - we're a Kroger loving family! My little helper loved spreading the sauce and then all the ingredients. I'm not sure all the cheese made it on the pizzas!

I LOVED that the crust was crispy (like a cracker almost), but where the toppings were it was a wee bit softer. The texture was a+. I felt like the crust had zero taste. I did, however, enjoy the taste of the sauce. I don't like my pizza sauce overly spicy or sweet and this one fit the bill - this we will purchase again. Can’t top the great taste of this #SimpleTruthOrganic Vegan pizza crust! #MyMagaz...
