Wedding

My little brother got married!! And he married a great girl. We love you Kimmy. So Thursday morning my other brother Joe and Jonathan and I packed up the car and headed to Las Vegas. We had a great time parting with Kimmy's family, who flew in from New York. They were all very welcoming and fun to get to know. Heidi, Jeremy and Brielle let us stay with them at their condo so we could swim in their pool, and take the shuttle from the condo to the "strip" the next morning to see the sights. We went to the M & M shop and the Coca Cola store and bought him a hat that matches daddies. We got some pictures with the Coke Bear and an M & M. It was so fun hanging out and being with Jonathan. We had such a fun time together. His favorite part of the afternoon was riding up and down the escalators in his stroller. And riding on the shuttle bus.

It was a long tiring day. Such a sleepy boy.

We met lots of famous people! :) Like Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Austin Powers.

Shirley J Review and Giveaway

A few weeks ago Shirley J sent me some of their Universal Sauce to try out. I had heard lots of good things about this cream based sauce and couldn't wait to try it!

My sister, Julie and I decided to experiment with a few recipes. We made Gnocchi Gratin, Alfredo Chicken Pizza and Creamy Baked Potato Soup. I couldn't believe how easy the sauce made the cooking.

Universal Sauce is a cream based sauce that serves as the foundation to countless recipes. All you have to do is add water. It was super easy to make and was completely lump free. We didn't have to worry about having flour, butter, milk, etc. on hand.

I wanted to learn more about the Universal Sauce so I took one of the free cooking classes at the Shirley J head quarters. It was such a great class and the chef was very fun and knowledgeable! He cooked chicken enchiladas, tomato soup and macaroni and cheese from the Universal Sauce in less than 45 minutes. They were all delicious.

I think the Universal Sauce will become a staple in my pantry and food storage. It's so easy to use and it's 1/4 the calories as a regular cream sauce. It also has a shelf life of 20+ years.

I can't wait to try out their other products!
