The IE Mommy

I know you’ve heard of Boboli. I mean really? Who doesn’t like Pizza?

This is something great about making your own pizza. Add your sauce, any ingredients your heart desires and pop it in the over and viola! Yummy, delicious and tasty pizza.

About 20 minutes later you have rich, scrumptious, cheesy goodness that you heart (and taste buds) can’t help but to fall in love!

I have found a way to make Pizza even better. Introducing BBQ Boboli!

Wow! Never ever ever would I have thought of BBQ’ing pizza? But if you look in the latest food magazine, journals and television shows it is all the rage!

BBQ Pizza rocked my world. I will never look at pizza the same way again! I can not wait to get to the store and get more ingredients to do it again!

Fall is the perfect time to BBW. The weather is cooler it isn’t cold yet. The day still is long enough to enjoy lazy evenings…perfect timing!

Try something different from the typical steak, chicken and fish to barbecue for dinner. Give Boboli a try. BBQ Boboli…I challenge you to say that 10x fast and I challenge you to give BBQ Boboli Pizza a try!

In life there are two things that have never really won me over. Guys with brown eyes and wheat bread. Ok, I have no idea why I am lumping the two together except that is what came to mind. While I still am not drawn to brown eyes…yes, I have very dark brown eyes but that’s not the point!

I have changed my mind about Wheat bread. I have had the opportunity to try quite a few different variations, thanks to Arnold / Oroweat breads and my wonderful PR friend and have found myself searching out the supermarket for Wheat bread. Really? Who would have thought?

Recently I was sent the Arnold/Oroweat Triple Health 100% Whole Wheat Bread, and think it tastes wonderful. Even the twins have been specific on wanting Wheat Bread when they are requesting sandwichs. The Arnold/Oroweat Triple Health 100% Whole Wheat Bread, has a rich, nutty flavor that is tasty and satisfying.

Look, if you are unbeliever (like I was) then I highly suggest you run out and get a loaf or two. The Arnold/Oroweat Triple Health 100% Whole Wheat Bread, is going to change the way you do sandwiches!

Do you remember when I first reviewed my Tassimo? Well, if we are being factually…my wonderful, darling husband reviewed it. If not, click right “here”.

It wasn’t love at first site fro my husband and me but it was definitely love and first taste for the Tassimo and us.  The Tassimo is living your very own Barista available any time night or day to make you whatever your heart desires.

• Tea for mom? – Check!
• Coffee for dad? – Check!
• Chocolate for the twins? – Checks!

If Tassimo was a man we’d be married! Get my drift on how great this machine is? I love it! We just received a selection of delicious iced coffees. We received Iced Black Coffee and Iced Sweet & Creamy iced coffee.

Yumm-O!!

It is perfect for the summer months. Of course, here in California we have a lot more hot months then cool months so I’ll be enjoying my new drinks all year long. Each package contains 16 individual discs that will make you a perfect cup of iced coffee.

My personal favorite was the Sweet & Creamy. I love sweet coffees…and this was perfect especially over ice. Here’s a little tip. Chill your coffee mug for a while in the freezer before pouring your coffee into the cup. It gives it an extra little kick of pleasure.  Add a little whipped cream and some chocolate sprinkles and its perfect!

Tassimo is the perfect wedding, birthday or Christmas gift. If it tiny enough to fit into a dorm room, bachelor pad or even a teacher’s lounge.  The amazing assortments of coffees create a super alternative for drinks at wedding or bridal showers. Allowing each guest their choice of drink!

Just like a good marriage…as time passes…you’ll fall more and more in love with Tassimo.

With the TASSIMO machine and the TASSIMO Discs (T DISCs) you can make the hot beverage you want, when you want it. No Fuss. No Mess.

It’s truly amazing. The same machine that makes a freshly brewed coffee and real espresso also makes milk based lattes and cappuccinos, steeped tea and rich hot chocolate. Each cup is freshly brewed to celebrate its true character.

The TASSIMO system also comes with its own water filter to ensure that only pure water is used to expertly brew your hot beverage.

The ingenious TASSIMO Disc (T DISC) is designed to work exclusively with the TASSIMO machine. Each T DISC contains a precisely measured amount of coffee, tea, chocolate, or concentrated milk, and is sealed to protect the precious flavor inside.

When you insert the T DISC, the machine reads the bar code printed on the label. It automatically calculates the amount of water needed, brewing time, and temperature required to prepare the perfect beverage.

All the brewing happens inside the T DISC using a unique inverse flow. Your beverage pours directly from the T DISC into the cup so you can prepare different drinks, one after the other.

So adorable, so fun and just so great! The Thomas Wooden Railway Early Engineers Roundabout Sation Set is perfect for little hands and fingers that belong to BIG imaginations.

Putting this set together is a snap (literally and figuratively) and is a wonderful outlet for your child to imagine all sorts of adventures for Thomas and his pals. Check out this great video on how  you can combine different play sets to create the perfect experience for your child. Click “here”

This set is definitely created for the pre-school or kindergarten aged child so were excited to share it with our little, younger friends. But the recommended age did not hinder my girls from enjoying it as well. I thought that was an added bonus that both younger and older children could enjoy such a simple, yet classic toy.

I know many of my friends have children of multiple ages and really who wants to hear “Mom, she’s not letting me play!!” when a new toy is introduced. This is great for all the kids to become involved.

Thomas has long been a “friend” in our family. What a great character to promote friendship and values.  While the Thomas Wooden Railway Early Engineers Roundabout Station Set is the main part of the set you can easily add to the fun by the additions of the  Early Engineers Busy Day on Sodor Set and the Early Engineers Rock and Roll Quarry Set. Plus there are ton’s of friends to enjoy and add as well…such as Early Engineers Rosie and Early Engineers Percy. You can add all the Thomas & Friends pals to your collection for unlimited hours of play for your little ones.

In my opinion Imagination play is one of the best gifts we can offer to our little ones. When they can play with their “special” pals like Thomas the Train…well, that makes it even sweeter.

Thomas Wooden Railway Early Engineers Roundabout Station Set

Easy to set-up and easy to play, Thomas Wooden Railway Early Engineers Roundabout Station is a great starter set for eager engineers! With simple features and larger engines, the Roundabout Station Set lets little engineers pick up and deliver passengers in a fun-filled play set.
