Paddy O’Shea’s Golf Card Game is a Great Way to Relax and Gave Fun With Friends And Family {Giveaway}

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. I was not financially compensated for this post. I received the product for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.
Do you enjoy Game Night with friends and family?  Maybe you have considered starting a regular Game Night but never got around to it in 2013.  Now with the New Year, you have a fun opportunity to set up that regular Game Night evening to relax with your friends or family with Paddy O’Shea’s Golf Card Game! You can even get the kids in on it because this is a game perfect for anyone age 10+.
If you enjoy classic card games like Uno and Hearts I encourage you to try Paddy O’Shea’s Golf Card Game then because you are going to LOVE it.  It is so much MORE fun than any of your usual card games. It is challenging and fun for card players, golfers and board game lovers.  It offers a ton of excitement and you will constantly be challenged by the twists and turns in Paddy O’Shea’s Golf Card Game.
First if all, Paddy O’Shea’s Golf Card Game is a  family game appropriate for 2 to 6 players ages 10 and up. The tweens and teens will love it.  It is very easy to learn but totally unpredictable in its play.  You can learn strategies to stack the cards but luck are involved too.  The game consists of nine hands (“Rounds”) and usually takes 40 to 50 minutes to play a game.  You will definitely want to play more than one game.
We had a bunch of fun playing with our family this weekend.  We had three adults and two 11 year olds and a 9 year old.  Everyone learned the game pretty fast...even the kids and the 9 year old (very smart one that 9 year old).  Paddy O’Shea’s Card Game had the kids laughing as they tried to out-strategize us!  We enjoyed playing so much we went for a second round even though it was totally past certain peoples bedtimes.  We agreed this is a fun game we are going to regularly incorporate into our game nights. My husband also thought it would be a good travel game since it takes up minimal space. 


Suggested retail price is only $9.95!  It makes a great gift for Valentine's Day or even St. Patrick's Day.  Enter the Rafflecopter giveaway below to win your own Paddy O'Shea's Card Game.  a Rafflecopter giveaway

Cook'n Recipe Organizer 11 Download Review + Giveaway ($80 value)

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. I received a sample of the product for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product. 

I recently had an opportunity to download and try out the Cook’n Recipe Organizer.  Cook’n is a computer program that lets you organize your recipes into your own cookbook.  You can add your own recipes, buy them through Cook'n or capture them from the internet. I like that you can export the entire collection anywhere at any point too.  Cook'n has a built-in menu planner, shopping list organizer and even a handy nutrition guide.  Excellent for keeping it all healthy, especially in light of those resolutions!

The program took a few minutes to install and it was really pretty simple to do.  It comes with one cookbook with included recipes, the DVO.com Cookbook.  It has an excellent selection of recipes too.  I was provided with a code to choose an additional cookbook or recipe collection. That was also fairly easy to buy from the Cook'n program. I started out capturing a few recipes off the web which was easy to do. 
I was not surprised to hear that Cook'n is the #1 Best-Selling Recipe Organizer.  It can be really helpful to get everything organized. A few features includ:

Easily Enter your Personal Recipes
    • Get Ideas for What to Make for Dinner
    • See a Visual Menu Planner
    • Auto-Generate Shopping Lists
    • Capture Recipes From Favorite Websites'
    • Calculate Nutrition of Your Recipes
    • Capture & Sync Pinterest Recipes - Demo
    • Scan Printed Recipes - Demo
    • Discover New Recipes w/Live Feed - Demo
    • Print Themed Recipes - Demo
    • Use Snip-It to Capture Blog Recipes - Demo
    • Import recipes from Word - Demo
    • Share Recipes with Social Media - Demo
    Cook'n is an easy way to organize your personal recipes. When you have entered your personal recipes into Cook'n you can:
    • - Create a family Cookbook
    • - Share your recipes easily
    • - Create menus and meal plans
    • - Enhance the recipe by adding photos and stories
    • - Get the nutritional facts for your recipes
    • - and much more!
    Cook'n has a Visual Menu Planner so can create custom menus and meal plans.  I was interested to hear that research shows that those who use and effective menu planner are more likely to:
    • - Save time by making less trips and by staying organized on what's for dinner
    • - Save money by eating-out less beacuse they are prepared to make delicious   home-cooked meals.
    • - Eat healthier by planning healthy menus and meal plans. And avoiding convenient foods rather than nutritional foods.
    • - Save gas by making less trips to the store and on fast-food pickups.
    Get healthy too!  Stop guessing what nutrients are in the foods you are eating. Use Cook'n to help you stay organized in your dieting! Analyze the nutritional elements of recipes and menus (even the ones you add!) Cook'n makes it simple to calculate the nutrients your body is receiving. After typing in a recipe or importing one from the internet, simply click a button for the information you need. Save you a ton of time by analyzing nutrition in seconds!
    A big help for me is to be able to save time and money. I like that Cook'n also calculates the approximate cost of your shopping list. Cook'n automatically combines the food on your menus and makes a grocery shopping list. It even converts tablespoons of tomato paste to 8 oz. cans! Cook'n organizes your shopping list by aisle to save you time at the store.With the Grocery Shopping Assistant you can:
    • - Organizes grocery shopping list items by aisle
    • - Compiles your family's grocery shopping list automatically
    • - Calculates your grocery cost
    • - Converts to package sizes (ie; tablespoon tomato paste to 8 oz. cans)
    Love Pinterest?  Me too! Cook'n will Automatically import all of your Pinterest recipes with one click and synchronize the two so any new recipes that you Pin will automatically appear in Cook'n! It's not magic... but it's pretty close to it!
    Once your Pinterest recipes are in Cook'n you can:
    • - Create Menu & Meal Plans
    • - Share them with Friends
    • - Generate a Shopping List
    • - Sync them to your Phone
    • - Analyze nutritional values
    • - and much more!
    Check this out...you can scan your printed recipes or take a photo of them to get them uploaded! With the new Scan-It feature, it's easy to get all of your printed recipes into Cook'n without having to type any of them!  Importing recipes you clipped from magazines and newspapers is easy... just scan them! Or, take a picture with your mobile phone. Use the Scan-it feature to translate scanned recipes to text and use the Snip-It tool to copy & paste the text into Cook'n with just a few clicks!

    Cook'n has a Snip-it tool to capture internet recipes FAST. Most of the time, you can capture internet recipes with just one click. However, this doesn't work with web pages that are not formatted properly (like the recipes posted on many blogs). Enter Cook'n Version 11.  When Cook'n Version 11 detects web pages that are not marked up properly, it will automatically split the screen and display the Snip-It toolbar in the middle. Simply highlight the recipe directions and click the Directions button. Highlight the recipe ingredients and click the Ingredients button. With the new Snip-It Tool capturing recipes from your favorite blogs is a snap!
     Do you need some recipe inspiration? Rather than browsing Allrecipes, Foodnetwork and other recipe websites, just launch Cook'n! As soon as a new recipe is posted on the web, it will appear in the Cook'n Live Recipe Feed. Customize your recipe feed and follow your favorite websites easily. Click the recipe to see more or simply drag & drop it to save it in your personal cookbook.
     
    Print your recipes in your choice of beautiful themes.  Get professional.  The themes in Cook'n are great! And, they're getting better all the time! Now, with Cook'n 11, your printed recipes can look just as fantastic as they do on the computer! In Cook'n 11, the print preview window is embedded inside Cook'n. And, the new printing tool is capable of printing themed recipes in all formats (3x5, 4x6, and full page). Add some real sizzle to your recipes and share them in style with Cook'n 11!
