Win A NESCAFE Dolce Gusto!

May 29th, 2010 | Posted in Websites

Welcome back!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Nestle Nescafe Dolce Gusto. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you’re like me and love to enjoy fancy coffee drinks, then you’ll want to check out the great contest that’s going on over at Divine.ca. The contest is running from April 26, 2010 to June 20, 2010 and Divine.ca is giving away 10 NESCAFE Dolce Gusto coffee machines! Personally I’d love to win one, as just reading about the NESCAFE Dolce Gusto has me hankering for a cappuccino. Of course, without the ability to make one at home, I’m sort of out of luck right now!

The NESCAFE Dolce Gusto gives folks the ability to make all sorts of high quality coffee drinks at home, including both hot and cold coffee drinks. The machine uses KRUPS technology in order to make professional quality coffee. The machine uses a capsule system that makes it an easy task for anyone to prepare perfect drinks. I’ve seen the capsules before and not only do they make for some great coffee, but they also make clean up very easy as well.

Remember that the contest closes on June 20, so you’ll want to head over to divine.ca soon for your chance to win a NESCAFE Dolce Gusto machine. Also, keep in mind that the contest is only open to Canadian residents.

It’s Time To Do Some Gardening

May 25th, 2010 | Posted in Saving Money

Gardening is one of ways that I try to save money while eating at the same time eating healthier. Out back, I have my own little (very little) organic garden, and I truly have a great time watching it grow. This year I am planting tomato plants, cucumbers, kale, and a few other things that haven’t quite been decided yet. Tomatoes are an absolute favorite around here, so the plan is to use over half of the garden for tomatoes alone! They are also the vegetable that I’ve had the most luck growing, so they’re a pretty safe bet to turn out big, red and tasty!

Growing our own vegetables is not only cost efficient and fun, but it’s also a healthy thing as we can grown them without any pesticides and such. Doing a little gardening can reap big rewards, and growing organic vegetables at home sure is a lot cheaper than buying them at the grocery store!

The weather is warming up and around here that means its time to fire up the barbecue and do some grilling! My husband in particular considers himself somewhat of a grill master, however while he can grill all sorts of great things like burgers, chicken and veggies he’s never quit mastered the art of grilling a great steak. Thankfully, professional chef Michael is sharing his steak grilling secrets so that we can all enjoy perfect steaks every time! He’s created a great video full of advice, and you can check it out on the Clubhouse.ca website. Clubhouse.ca is chalk full of informative grilling information, so it’s a must visit before your next BBQ.

Also be sure to check out the La Serious Griller Contest where prizes such as a three hundred dollar Canadian Tire gift card and a deluxe La Grille Barbecue Seasoning Pack are being given away! The contest is easy to enter and the lucky winner will surely enjoy their grilling goodies! I know I was getting hungry just looking at some of the sauces and spices that Club House offers. Just a note though that the contest is only open to Canadian residents, however anyone can check out the great grilling tips on Clubhouse.ca!
