eMeals Make meal planning fun and easy for novice or accomplished homecooks @usfg

Disclaimer: I will receive a complimentary eMeals plan for sharing this information with my readers. As always, my opinion is my own.


What is eMeals?  eMeals is a weekly dinner and dessert plan that includes grocery shopping lists and yummy recipe instructions that are simple and easy to follow. Anyone can use it from hectic families to busy singles or couples. I love it.  They email you your plan each Wednesday or you can get it from their eMeals app on your smartphone or ipad.  You could also go to their website and download it to your laptop.  Sounds amazing right?  Here all about it direct from eMeals on Vimeo here.  Extra! Extra! Hear all about it!  eMeals is launching their new dessert plan now. That is to add on to their already yummy dinner plans. They make it so easy for even the busiest mom or dad to put healthy meals and yummy desserts on the table in a flash.  Aren't you excited already?

Get inspired each week to make incredible desserts. With mouth-watering recipes like Chocolate Pretzel Slab Pie, Buttery Toasted Vanilla Clusters or Crunchy Streusel Pumpkin Loaf, this plan is perfect for the dessert lover in all of us. Receive 3 indulgent dessert ideas every week including a mix of Crowd Pleasers, Quick & Easy options, and Skinny Sweets. This variety of sweet endings will fit the bill for weeknight desserts, casual entertaining and even healthy treats.

Everyone loves dessert even when you are trying to watch the calories.  The great news is that eMeals includes desserts as part of the meal plans.  Remember they have Skinny Sweets too. Yay for eMeals. It is easier to stick to a sensible meal plan when you know there will be regular little rewards like dessert.  Even if you are not watching or just want a splurge, eMeals has full throttle desserts as well.  Even more exciting.....to celebrate their dessert launch, eMeals is also offering a Target gift card giveaway and more via a Pinterest contest! As I always say, you gotta be in it to win it so enter that contest right away before you forget.

Now we all know the holiday season is a real challenge for everyone.  It is hard to stay on track.  Thank goodness for eMeals.  eMeals, the leader in online meal planning, is a comprehensive meal planning resource that helps you provide healthy and delicious dinners for even if you are a super busy family or individual. Why not get a little help from a good friend like eMeals? I love that eMeals is endorsed by financial guru Dave Ramsey.  eMeals has also been highlighted in the Oprah Winfrey blog. 
What does eMeals do for you exactly? The eMeals weekly dinner plans include grocery shopping lists and yummy recipe instructions that are simple and easy to follow. Anyone can do it, even you. Yes YOU.  What can eMeals do for you? In my house, it means I can relax with my hubby and my little one and play a fun board game like Sorry or Parcheesi.  We love to play board games but one of us is always working away in the kitchen like a busy beaver trying to come up with a healthy dinner for the family.  I just love the idea of easy weeknight recipes and meals. I have been using their app which makes the shopping a snap.  Everything is right there on the eMeals list. Love it. So easy and fun because they do the recipe searching for me. All of the recipes have been tasty and easy to prepare too. You even get a super discount so peek below for your code.

Solid Cordz Extension Cords: Use ALL your outlets and remove the clutter!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. As always, my opinion is my own.

If you are anything like me with a few computers, printers, copiers and other technology items in your home office, tv's, DVR's and who else knows in your bedroom, home theatre or home office you have this issue: A power strip with 4, 6 or 8 or more slots but only has three monstrous oversized plugs or adapters in it.  It just can't fit any more--they are space hogs those big old plugs and adapters.  Then you have another power strip because you needed to plug in all the rest of those devices.  Arrrggggh. Go look at your office or home theatre area and come back to read more. It looks so messy and disorganized, right?!!!

I recently heard about a good solution to this annoying problem that I was very hopped up to try out.  Solid Cordz® Extension Cords are a way to make it all better instantly! After trying them, I have to say I totally agree. You can use all the slots on that power strip and clean up the mess under your desk or behind your home theatre setup! Check out my  pictures.  Holy cow, what a difference too.

I cleaned up my home office...I used to have not one, not two but FOUR power strips somehow jammed under all my equipment. What a mess and a tangle of cords!  In a few minutes I reduced it all down to half that. I only need two power strips now for all my equipment.  Sweet. Solid Cordz® Extension Cords has just freed up two of those power strips for emergency use and it all looks so much tidier. I love it!  I tried to take pics of my home office but the power strips are way behind and under the built in's so they were too dark to see.  Notice the two power strips in the second picture below?  The two below are now free as a bird since I don't need them. I will tuck them away for an emergency. It looks much neater in my home office...I keep peeking because I love it.

I love that Solid Cordz® Extension Cords come in a convenient & money saving 5-pack so you can organize multiple areas of your home. They come in a 12-inch length to provide a clean, organized look for any area that needs it.  They are equipped with a 16AWG wire gauge and are Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed.  Also they are CSA approved for top quality. The ends are constructed of heavy-duty molded parts.

Think about all the benefits for you:
  • Liberates the power strip
  • A staple for any Technophile
  • Perfect for the office and home
  • Get the full use of your power strips and outlets
Now you can just quickly plug those big bulky power adapters into the fast solution:  Solid Cordz® Extension Cords cables and use ALL of those outlets. You can replace multiple power strips with one unit by utilizing all of the slots.

Now remember though, these are for Usage Indoor Use Only!  I love that you can buy them conveniently right on Amazon too!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
