Skillet Bacon Jam, The Bacon Spread Review

The Skillet Bacon Jam can be found at www.skilletbaconjam.com and was created by Joshua Henderson from "SKILLET" a modern American diner.  An 11 oz. jar of this BACON BLISS can be purchased here http://onlinestore.skilletstreetfood.com/product/bacon-jam for $14.00 per jar. 

The ingredients in this jar of what my kids now call HEAVEN are bacon, balsamic, brown sugar, salt, pepper and lots of love. My children would like you to know that they can feel the BACON LOVE, give this product review the big thumbs up and so do I!

I would like to report that we tried it on several different things and in different ways but I can't.  We made toast dove in, it was so surprisingly delicious that it was gone immediately!  I now have orders from my children to purchase a case!

Here is the "SKILLET" description of their jam........

What the heck is bacon jam?....

we take a big bunch of really, really good bacon, and render it down...add a bunch of spices..onions, etc. and let it simmer for about 6 hours...give it a quick puree, blast chill it...and you have bacon jam...


We like to put it on our burger, serve it on crostini, perhaps on a grilled cheese, as a substitute for bacon on a BLT, or maybe the base for a vinaigrette.

I am sorry to say that there is no giveaway with this product but I do recommend you buy some immediately if not sooner.  If you have a moment take a peek at their restaurant menu it's mouth watering!  http://www.skilletstreetfood.com/menu.php  They have several restaurants in the Seattle, WA area.

If you have questions and would like to email Skillet Food Products here is there email address eat@skilletstreetfood.com or if you would like to call them here is there phone number 425-998-6817.

GroOrgainics On-line Garden Planner Review

I would like to introduce you too GroOrganic. 

Gro Organic's offers an on-line garden planner to design your garden with the most up to date gardening software technology. This program is so easy to use that it basically does all the work for you.  It has a very clear tutorial that guides you every step of the way through the entire garden planner.

First you establish your location and your frost dates. The next step is planning the shape and size of your garden area. You measure the actual area you want to plant your garden and apply it to the graph on the gro organic garden planner. Then you choose the plants you would like in your garden and apply them to the graph.  The gro organic site will actually send you email notices as to what time of year to plant your seeds, when to harvest and about frost dates. 

This planner is so easy to operate, fun and creative to use that I am giving a section of our garden to plan to all 3 of my children.  I grow a large amount of my own herbs for my business and this planner has saved me HOURS of planning time!

I have never been more pleased with any gardening resource than I have with this one. I highly recommend this to anyone, even the "garden challenged".  You can't go wrong here!

Take a peek at this video to see how simple this software is to use!

What is the cost for this service?  Well, you purchase an association membership for $99.00 a year and that gives you access to the garden planner, online consulting, discounts at Gro Organic and more.  Gro Orgainic also offers full service gardening services for those who have little to no experience with gardening. They even supply complete raised bed vegetable gardens installed and even offer maintenance by a professional or simply consultation for those who want to take care of their gardens themselves. For more services and offers check out their site here http://www.groorganic.com/ .  After doing this review I will be purchasing a membership to Gro Organic myself, I love it and I am SOLD!

Gro Organic is generously letting me offer a "FREE 30 DAY TRIAL" of their garden planner to my readers who do the following:

Personal Note.

Now from the obsessive "GREEN" side of me, this an amazing service to us all.  It's been scientifically proven that our bodies are in a symbiotic state with the plant life that grows around us.  This means that we receive the most nutrition along with medicinal value from the plant life that grows in our immediate area. Hence, growing your own fruit, vegetables and herbs is the best nutritional option for your body.  Also, growing your own garden provides and economic way to be able to eat organically and you can find your tools here http://www.groorganic.com/ .

HAVE A HEALTHY DAY FULL OF JOY!!!

The Lean Cuisine Challenge & Skinny Cow Challange!

Well, my dear friend Shelby Barone & her husband Steve are doing the 31 Day Lean Cuisine Challenge & I have decided to be a challenge buddy/supporter with my friend Shelby.

So, tomorrow I will join her on her Lean Cuisine adventure. I’m not positive I will be able to bring myself to post myself in a bikini like she did here……. http://www.feltstories.com/ . Maybe after a week of the program…. we will just see! I will most definitely be able to tolerate the Skinny Cow snack part of this program. I LOVE SKINNY COW PRODUCTS!!! I buy them all the time already but I confess I always don’t always eat just one, defeating the low calorie benefit of the lovely delicious product!

With my pre-menopausal symptoms in full swing, the weight gain has been VERY unpleasant and torture on my poor aching joints. So, here I go…..I will have Lean Cuisine for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. This will be interesting for me, for sure. I don’t normally use the microwave for cooking or meals of any kind because it concerns me but I am willing to give anything a try right now. So, tomorrow morning I will weigh my large post Holiday rear end & reluctantly post the ugly results for all to see.

Sooooooooooo, I shall be back tomorrow with my embarrassing weight & the beginning of my part of the challenge to decrease the size of my big butt & support my friend!

If you have any successful weight loss stories or menopausal weight success stories we would love to hear about it! Please, leave a comment below! If you have an Lean Cuisine stories, I would love to hear about that too!

Wish me LUCK!!!

The sad part about this picture is that the cow has a better waist line than I do to start!

I supposed that I should mention that I am NOT getting paid, receiving any compensation or free products for this challange. My lovely friend Shelby however is getting paid.
