Two Sisters Gourmet

March 2nd, 2008 by Carey

If you are looking for a way to bring a little gourmet to your everyday cooking, look no further than Two Sisters Gourmet!  Many of us are looking for ways to cut costs; by purchasing just a few items from Two Sisters Gourmet, you can cut your fast food and restaurant expenses.  Many people make a run for the drive through or reach for their carryout menus when they’re too tired to cook.  Two Sisters Gourmet enables you to take a few items from your pantry and whip up a delicious, quick, and easy homemade meal for far less than you’d spend at the local takeout place.

For example, just the other night I was feeling a bit tired and didn’t want to go to a lot of trouble for dinner.  So, I pulled out some thinly cut pork chops, rubbed them with a little of Two Sisters Gourmet Peppery Herb Rub, threw them in the pan and cooked them ’til done.  While they were cooking, I put a little of the Blackberry Cherry Pepper Conserve into a microwave safe bowl and heated it just a bit.  I threw together a salad (thank goodness for those bagged salads!), and voila, dinner was done.  I plated the pork chops with a bit of the conserve on top as a sauce.  Sooo good, let me tell ya!  And it tasted like I went to so much trouble.

Another quick and easy dinner option is to whip up some Asian noodles.  Boil up some spaghetti, defrost some frozen stir fry veggies and toss in some chicken (in a pinch, use rotisserie chicken, or those chicken strips that come already cooked).  Pour over some of Two Sister’s Island Ponzu Dipping & Grilling Sauce, or some Peanut Ginger Marinade.  Your family will think you were in the kitchen for hours; no need to tell them it took all of 10 minutes and cost very little!

Products to improve your life…

January 8th, 2007 by Carey

Today I’ll be writing about some items that I’ve found that have made my life easier or simpler in some way.

SAVE SOME SPACE!

My mom bought me this set of collapsible measuring cups…I love, love, love them! They fold down completely flat, thus taking up far less space than your average measuring cups. Yes, it’s the simpler things in life that make me happy. I plan to get the colanders next. What will I do with all that extra cabinet space?

SAVE ON STYLE

I got a set of Temp-tations ceramic ovenware for Christmas and I can’t wait to use it. I really don’t need to save it for a special occasion…it’s affordable ovenware designed to go from oven, to the table, to the freezer. It’s even microwave and dishwasher safe! It looks like a million bucks and most pieces come with their own rattan trivet and iron serving basket. This set has 16 total pieces and is less than $45.

SAVE YOUR NECK

I don’t own this yet, but saw it today on QVC (do we notice a trend here?). It’s a mirror that opens out from both sides so that you can see all the way around your head without holding up an extra mirror. It means you can see what you’re doing back there while drying or styling your hair. Hubby can see his neck and shave it easily. It also has two lights and a 5X magnifying mirror. It attaches easily to most surfaces with suction cups or mounting tape (included). It folds fairly flat when not in use. It’s $31.10.

SAVE YOUR SANITY

The Magellan RoadMate has to be one of the nicest presents my husband has ever bought me. We recently moved to a new city, and this little baby has really helped me find my way around. In addition to your run-of-the-mill directions, it also provides points of interest. For example, while on the road, I could search for the nearest restaurants. I could even type in the name of a restaurant and it would tell me where the next closest one was and how to get there. Best of all, it recognized the traffic jam we were in on I-95 and offered us a detour. Although I doubt we saved any time, we felt better because we were actually driving instead of sitting on the highway. I’d say I use my RoadMate at least 2-3 times a week. I love it! If you belong to Costco, check their site for prices. They currently have a special on these.

SAVE YOUR SOLES

I have had problems with dry feet ever since my first pregnancy. Something about the whole baby process has taken its toll on my tootsies. I tried many creams and lotions and was disappointed in them all. Until I found Kerasal. It rocks! My feet are back to their old pre-baby condition (if not their pre-baby size….sigh…). I love this stuff and I think you will too.

2007: The Year of Organization

December 23rd, 2006 by Carey

Since this is my last post until AFTER the hoopla of Christmas, I thought I’d do a post about organization. Lord knows I’m going to need SOMETHING to organize the chaos we call a playroom once we add more toys to the mix. Luckily, I have a Container Store nearby. Here’s what will be on my shopping list…hopefully some of these will help transform our playroom from pigsty to neat-as-a-pin.

First up, are these Game Savers boxes. I can’t believe I never knew about these before! During my days as a teacher, I would have LOVED these. Every year I would get out the scotch tape to try to eke another year out of my raggedy game boxes. My older daughter has a few games so far, and the boxes are showing some “love.” These polypropylene boxes will hold up for the long haul. They come in two sizes: shallow and deep.

Next up, something to corral all of our smaller toys or toys that have multiple pieces. These Calypso toy trolleys ought to do the trick. I have it on good authority that Santa will be bringing the girls some wooden blocks. This container is plenty big enough to hold them all, and since it’s on casters, I don’t have to worry about them pulling a muscle trying to move the container around the playroom.

To keep everything very matchy matchy, here are a couple other things from the Calypso collection that I plan to pick up. From left to right we have the Calypso round box, the Calypso large drawers, and–although it’s not from the Calypso collection, it still matches perfectly–the white folding mesh cubes. If these don’t help us get our act together, we’re certainly a lost cause.

Finally, just in case Santa shows up with some new bath toys (wink, wink), I’d love to have this Bath Tub Toy Bag. It comes with little suction cups for hanging it in the tub and the bottom is made of fine mesh allowing the toys to drain and dry.

All right…hope everyone has a fantastic next few days. I’ll see everyone on the 26th!
