Hood Calorie Countdown and Weight Loss!

June 12, 2018 by Nettie Leave a Comment

This post was sponsored by Hood as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

After spending the winter in Florida and California and throwing my diet out the window, I was shocked when I stepped on my scale. Yes, I had been sticking with Low Carb for a whole year and lost thirty pounds. I felt great, I mean really great. But I don’t know what happened, I forgot that carbs aren’t my friend. The weight started to creep back on and I knew that I had a choice, either keep going down this slippery slope or start back with eating a low carb diet. I chose the later and am doing so much better and am back on track. I just take it day by day and do my best. Hood Calorie Countdown helps me to stay on track and keep those carbs under control.

St. Patrick’s Day Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

March 8, 2018 by Nettie 7 Comments

Light and airy, these cake-like cookies will melt in your mouth! The peppermint schnapps gives the cookie a subtle mint flavor (you can add a little peppermint extract if you want them mintier) and the chocolate adds little bursts of flavor. If you prefer to skip the booze, just use 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract and decrease the flour to 2 cups. These would be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!

Shaw’s Grocery Haul, Win a Year’s Worth of Groceries & Chocolate Butterscotch Cookie Bars

October 12, 2017 by Nettie 1 Comment

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Shaw’s Supermarkets. All opinions are my own as always.

I am always looking for deals and coupons for my favorite items when I shop at the grocery store. So, I would like to share with you my experience with shopping at Shaw’s Supermarkets and the wonderful savings they have to offer.First, I downloaded the Shaw’s Supermarkets app on my phone and was excited to see right away, a coupon for $5 off purchases of $50. I usually spend around $75- $100 a week for the two of us on groceries per week, so this was a great way to start off. I pick up sale things for my kids who are in college. With this savings tool you will find:

1. Shopping List (great reminder once you get to the market, shows your savings.)
2. Store Locator
3. Coupons (there are so many that I clicked on, great savings and so simple to use!)
4. Recipes (Very helpful when you are in a rut and want to try something or just a reminder for when you are at the market and don’t want to forget your ingredients.)
5. Pharmacy (I like to do one stop shopping, helpful that I can pick up my prescriptions while I grocery shop)
6. Weekly ad (check out what the specials are before you go)
7. Gas rewards (this is always a perk, gas prices are going up)

25 Most Beautiful Easter Desserts

April 15, 2017 by Nettie Leave a Comment

I can’t believe that Easter is right around the corner! It’s one of my favorite holidays! I have such fond memories of Easter egg hunting at my great grandparent’s home. All of my cousins and I would search the pool grounds for hidden jelly beans, Cadbury eggs, Peeps, peanut butter chocolate eggs and more that my Nana and Grandpa would cleverly hide! After we found our treats, we would then line up, single file, and show Nana what we found and she would give us each a penny for every egg filled treat. We would be skipping and jumping with joy dressed in our Easter bonnets and hats!
