July 16, 2011 by 4 Comments
{Scroll down below for a slideshow} Recently I went to a cooking class at the French Culinary Institute where I was invited by FAGE (pronounced Fa-yeh) to cook alongside with other bloggers. Honestly, I never bought FAGE yogurt nor have I tasted it but I was intrigued on how to incorporate yogurt into everyday cooking so I obliged. Here's a little history: The Beginning: In 1926, Athanassios Filippou opened a small dairy shop in Athens, Greece. At the time, the shop’s location was … [Read more...]

Enjoying The Summer with Keurig’s Brew Over Ice
July 11, 2011 by 6 Comments
Summer is in full swing as we all know and for me, Summer means glasses upon glasses of iced cold lemonade and iced tea. They're both my drink of choice when its sweltering hot out. Not only am I one of Keurig's K-cup ambassador but I am one of their biggest fans . They keep me amazed and well-caffeinated when I need to be and are always surprising me with different flavors. I know there are others that claim to be the "best" at creating a multitude of beverages but they can't compare to … [Read more...]

Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 | Review
July 2, 2011 by 4 Comments
The first webcam I have ever used was on my HP Pavilion laptop. I can't say it was the greatest because I had nothing to compare it to. The picture wasn't as clear as I thought (really grainy) and the connection was terrible. Maybe it was because of my cable modem - who knows. All I know is that the picture never looked like what I thought a webcam should have -- a clear picture. That is until I used the Logitech® HD Pro Webcam C910. … [Read more...]

Verizon FIOS: The Switch That Made The Difference #MC
June 30, 2011 by 6 Comments
Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a Test Drive campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Verizon FiOS and received a free trial of the products and services necessary to facilitate my review. Verizon FIOS (Fiber Optic Service) has been in my neighborhood for the past two years. The deals Verizon had enticed most of my neighbors to switch cable providers but I wasn't so convinced. Since Time Warner was our cable/internet provider for many years, I guess you can say we were too … [Read more...]
