Well, At Least My Appliances Are Ready For The Holidays Now, Thanks To Steel Meister #SteelMeisterChallenge {$100 Home Depot Gift Card Giveaway}

This post brought to you by Steel Meister. All opinions are 100% mine. All my kitchen appliances are stainless steel, and they all are smudgy and fingerprinty. It’s not my fault. I have two little kids, and they touch everything. They even kiss their own reflections. I don’t blame them, but that would explain some […]

    I never heard of Steel Meister before, but after reading about it and knowing all the different items it can clean, I’m looking foward to trying this product. I’m looking forward to using this on our large appliances and also our grill and toaster. Sounds easy to use too.

  • Blanca

    I have stainless steel appliances that are looking a bit worn and would love to try Steel Meister to see if it can bring them back to life! I am excited to use it on my dishwasher and microwave!

  • amy pugmire

    I love that you can use it on multiple things. I would love to use it on my kithcenaid, stove and toasters which are so gross.

  • I’m really liking this stuff & it will be perfect with my new appliances.

  • Rebecca Orr

    I do not have stainless steel appliances (I am sad about that! One day I will have them though! I am bidding my time!). But my grandparents do. We live a few doors down from them and so does my cousin and her family. Needless to say, the grandparents have 4 great-grand kids that are constantly touching the fridge, stove, microwave, and dishwasher. I always feel bad when we leave, knowing that they have to deal with all those little smudges. They could definitely use some of this. Heck, I’d even be willing to apply it for them! I am sure their appliances would look a lot shinier and more attractive! Thanks for the chance!

  • Marci

    All my appliances!

  • Oh great to read this, we just got stainless steel appliances and I need a better cleaner for finger prints and I have no kids at home anymore!

    i want to try it so I can try to clean the sink in the garage that I just can’t get looking good.

Christmas Lights

It’s the first time we have a Christmas tree in our new home, and as a family at all, so I picked a tall, full, beautiful pre-lit Christmas tree in simple white lights for our family home. When I was single I had a small two foot tree each year that stood on a table […]

  • Aww so adorable.I can’t wait for the day after Thanksgiving:) I had an angel that broke 2 years ago so bought a star, but need to get an angel as I loved it.

  • We have an angel that lights up. I’m not ready to set up right now. I need to get my daughers’ room cleaned out and set up for baby first.

  • A star! We just bought a new tree this year too. I love it – it has LED lights and they are so much nicer than the regular bulbs. And yes we have our tree up and decorated already πŸ™‚

  • HOW SWEET! Sometimes, a nice bow works great on top! A fluffy rounded bow. We’re putting 2 ft trees in the kids rooms this year. We got them on clearance last year, and they’re so excited!!

  • That is so sweet! It’s also making me want to decorate for the holidays already!

  • Donna

    I have a pre-lit tree with white lights, too. I love angels, which is what tops our tree.

  • He is positively enchanted with it. This makes me smile so much! I’ve always liked stars on trees!

  • I’m jealous you already have your tree…I haven’t seen any trees for sale here yet (live).

  • We always get a real one ,although I’d like to get a fake one. Not as much mess.

  • Penelope

    Mine is artificial, that is why πŸ™‚ It’s too soon to sell live Christmas trees, they will dry up if you get one now

  • This is the first time in so many years I am decorating without kids living with us, seems so strange!

  • Aw how fun!!!! We always put stars on the top of our tree’s but I think the Angel is really cute as well!! happy decorating!

  • Pre-lit trees are the best – I love not having to detangle a mound of cords every year. πŸ™‚

  • We have a star on ours! I couldn’t imagine my home during the holidays without a tree. My son is grown and I still decorate mine each year.

  • Mellisa

    I think Christmas lights are so magically even for adults.

  • I am debating putting mine up early. Waiting to see how many people I have coming for Thanksgiving. I get a live one so I still wouldn’t until a couple days before though.

  • Aww how exciting! We have a star as a topper but I’m not a big fan of the one we have {I’m not entirely sure where it even came from} so we’ll probably be getting a new one this year.

  • Aw, I love that you already put up your Christmas tree! We always do a tree, sometimes I use our hodge podge of family ornaments collected over the years, and sometimes I use a set of matching ornaments and ribbon. Our tree is pre-wired with lights too, it’s so easy!

  • Gorgeous photo!

    My daughter wants an angel for our tree. A gold gaudy glitter covered angel. I have to, right?

  • Awww! What a sweet little face! So glad you all are enjoying your tree! We bought a pre-lit a few years ago and it makes putting up the tree so much easier! I love an Angel on the top but have seen some beautiful stars as well!

  • Penelope

    Yep, you kind of do have to πŸ™‚

  • I prefer angels personally.

  • How pretty! Personally, I love stars, but it’s whatever YOU like! πŸ™‚

  • Wow you are way ahead of me. I do mine on Thanksgiving. I would love to get a new tree this year.

  • I love how mesmerized he looks! It definitely needs a star on top of it. I wish we could put our tree up, but we are moving the first week in December so it will have to wait. *SIGH*

  • Mickey

    What a beautiful photo!

    We’re decorating this weekend because my 3 year old can’t stop asking if it’s almost Christmas. πŸ™‚

  • The lights look totally amazing and I prefer stars for some reason, don’t know why!

  • We’ve had a star topper since my husband and I started dating. But I definitely want to switch to an angel topper this year.

  • You have a great capture! It is so hard to get a good one with lights!

  • I know what you mean, the minute I get the Halloween decorations down, they are begging me to put up the Christmas decorations too.

  • We don’t put our tree up before Thanksgiving and we always use an angel as a topper.

A Smarter, Healthier Pantry + A Pumpkin Pie Recipe + A $500 Giftcard Giveaway #CartonSmart @CartonSmart

    I love Pacific chicken broth, and I use it in my crock pot chili verde. Cut a pork tri tip or a pork shoulder into chunks, flour and brown in a little oil. Put in a crock pot, add 1 can large can green sauce, 1/2 carton Pacific chicken broth, 1 onion cut up. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Put on top of rice or inside tortillas!

  • carol

    Just yesterday, I used chicken broth from a carton to make my Potato Leek Soup!

  • Lisa Brown

    pumpkin puree from a carton, is great to use to make a delicious pumpkin spice smoothie.
    jslbrown_03 at yahoo dot com

  • I’m with you – given a choice, I prefer the Tetra Pak to a can. One staple we always keep in our pantry is Whole Foods 365 organic vegetable broth (boxed not canned). We use it as a soup base, to cook quinoa (for extra flavor), as liquid in the slow cooker to cook chicken or beef. It is fabulous.

    My quick time-saving and water-saving tip for entertaining is to use slow cookers. We have two (and can borrow more). We make one-pot slow cooker dishes like chili, Italian beef, mac and cheese. You only use one pot, so clean up is a breeze, and the food stays hot throughout the party.

  • jennifer

    We have company all the time, and I plan meals around produce, versus around meats and we always have tons of healthy options! Also, when baking, I use apple sauce instead of oils in cakes!

  • Mike Groesbeck

    I use carton chicken broth instead of canned for my yellow split pea soup. I think it just tastes better and of cours, it’s easier to open and store if there’s any leftover.

  • Sandy Klocinski

    Create a meal plan. You’ll only buy what you need instead of haphazardly throwing food into the cart with no real plan

  • We are buying more organic, but probably only about 25% of our food. I’m not sure if I’ve noticed this particular brand at our local grocery store, but I will be on the lookout for it. I like that even the cartons are environmentally friendly.

  • Honestly I have only used Chicken Broth from a box like this, but you have opened my eyes!!

    trisha

  • Chicken broth from a carton for homemade egg noodles. So good!

  • I have never heard of this brand but will check them out. I love the tetra pack boxes. I use cartons like this all the time for shelf stable milk, broth, soups , juice, coconut water and more:) Your pie sounds delish!

  • I buy large cartons for more than one recipe. If you plan you can make two or more recipes using one carton of broth, pasta etc.

  • We have been Pacific soup addicts for a few years now. Their Tomato and Butternut Squash are two of our favorites, and I love that they’re organic!

  • Marjorie Whitney

    My family makes a cranberry-orange relish that uses everything except the orange pits and adds only sugar. Smallest amount of waste possible, in my book!

  • I can make a “carton” spaghetti sauce! I can use Dei Fratelli Truly Finely Chopped Tomatoes that come in a carton. Then add some herbs that I dried from my garden, and some ground beef that we purchase from a friend’s local farm. And if I’m really feeling my inner martha stewart, I’ll make my own pasta from just a little flour, water, and salt!

  • Looks like they have you all set for Thanksgiving!

  • Mami2jcn

    We always make turkey sandwiches with the leftover Thanksgiving turkey, so nothing is wasted.

  • I’m thinking I almost always buy my soup broth in a carton because it’s a bigger container.

  • Pat Krueger

    I’m thinking healthier eating these days and that includes cartons instead of cans which can have trace elements of harmful chemicals.

  • I always use the Pacific chicken broth to make my matzo ball soup.

  • I like to make bread bowls and add soup! No waste! πŸ™‚

  • Terry Madden

    I use chicken broth in carton for my mash potaotes and stuffing recipe.

  • nannypanpan

  • laurie

    I use cartons of chicken broth in my stuff for my turkey

  • Jessie C.

    We like using carton miso broth to make quick noodle tofu soup.

  • Shannon

    I make a crockpot roast that uses broth from a carton and I actually used this brand last time. Very good!

    I take red potatoes and chop in to large pieces and line bottom of large crockpot with those then I added baby carrots. After that, I add fresh garlic cloves to taste, a few bay leaves, all spice (a few hole ones), one large onion chopped into large chunks and then a small carton of beef broth or stock. One top of that, I add one large roast and top that with ground pepper. I cook 8-10 hours on low. Very good!

  • Ashley Hewell

    I use beef broth in a carton to make roast beef.

  • Carolsue

    I make Turkey Tortilla Soup like this:
    3 cans of Rotel, 2 cans Mexicorn, 2 can black beans drained, 1/2 pkg taco seasoning, 2 cups leftover shredded turkey & a carton of chicken broth
    This uses cartons AND leftover holiday turkey to save waste!

  • I love to make crockpot chicken and dumpling soup with carton chicken stock, and we eat on it for days with no waste.

  • Neiddy

    I’d make my favorite breakfast recipe using Pacific Foods Organic Pumpkin Puree
    Pumpkin Chocolate Chips pancakes:
    2 cups baking mix,2 large eggs,1-1/4 cups milk,1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1/3 cup mini-chocolate chips, 2 tbsp. sugar, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.
    Whisk all the ingredients together and cook until the pancakes are golden brown
    Easy and delicious!

  • Shannon

    I make a curried chicken squash soup with the Pacific butternut squash product. YUM!

  • I make chicken stew with boxed broth, organic boneless chicken thighs, onions, carrots. It is delicious and healthy

  • Heather S

    I hollow out wheat bread loaf and put spinach dip in it. You can use the extra bread in stuffing

  • I just made a pumpkin bread with pumpkin puree in a Tetra Pak carton…first time ever! Turned out great…and I love that I didn’t have to use a can opener.

  • Elizabeth Elliot

    I love this recipe – looks good. I like to use washable entertaining bowls/dinnerware to reduce waste as well as cloth napkins. I also make muffins with leftover ingredients from my cookie and bread making. thanks for the chance to win.

  • Sandy Klocinski

    I make finger foods for larger parties. Finger foods are a fantastic waste buster for larger parties (no store bought party trays here)

  • Mike Groesbeck

    I use this for my Yellow Split Pea Soup. πŸ˜€

  • The Pumpkin pie sounds great!

  • Rebecca Orr

    I make my aunts homemade chicken noodle soup using a farm fresh chicken, veggies like carrots and peas from the garden, and stock from a carton. No matter what I do, it is always good. But she still makes it better! Probably because she makes her own stock! Thanks for the chance! The gift card would come in handy in lots of ways. As for a charity donation, I can think of several that could really use it! Happy holidays to you and yours!

  • Laura Tucker

    I love to use carton broth in my soups when cooking!

  • I keep on hand several of my Wildtree Spices that make quick dips. It’s all natural and helps when I am entertaining. Takes very little time to make and leaves me with more time to visit rather then making foods.

  • Jessica Miller

    Use left over turkey for sandwiches! I also buy cartons of chicken stocks for soup.

  • Terry

    I use carton chicken broth (1 carton) for my chicken and rice recipe! I do the rice (according to the directions on the back), cook the chicken (2 boneless skinless breasts) in the broth for 20 mins. Save a little bit of the broth and pour it in with the rice. Shred the chicken, add it to the rice. Then add diced jalapenos. It is awesome!
    Thanks for the giveaway-

  • DESIREE H

    I use Pacific Simply Stock Chicken in my soup recipe in the crock pot. I use two cartons of the stock, 3 cans cream of chicken soup, half a jar of Franks Red Hot, two tbsp of sour cream, shredded cheese and serve with cilantro on top! Its awesome! Especially if you like spicy!!

  • Catherine L

    Whenever we cook a Turkey in my home whether it be for Thanksgiving or another holiday or just to make since we like it a lot, almost nothing goes to waste. The leftovers are used to make yummy sandwiches for the next few days and the bones/carcass is used to make a delicious broth/soup.

    My smart entertaining tips:
    * When having a party serve finger foods
    * Forget about disposable plates, cups, utensils
    * Use your party food leftovers as part of your everyday menus

    My favorite recipe to use the Cartons for is my Porkchops and Gravy in the crock pot.
    I use the Pacific Natural Foods Organic Cream Of Mushroom Condensed Soup (12 oz).

    2 12 oz Pacific Organic Cream of Mushroom Condensed Soup Cartons
    4-6 pork chops, boneless (depending on how many people you are serving)
    1/2 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
    1 tbsp dijon mustard
    1/2 cup of milk

    1. Cook the porkchops fully, browning them in skillet.
    2. Place the cooked pork chops on the bottom of the crock pot.
    3. Turn to crock pot on high heat.
    4. Add in Cream of Mushroom soup cartons, dijon mustard, milk and lipton onion soup mix.
    5. Stir mixture.
    6. Cook for 4 hours, then serve with mashed potatoes or any other side dish you would like.

    I never have liked pork chops, however these are AMAZING! They are not tough, they fall apart, and I would recommend this!! It is SO good!
    Thank you for the giveaway!!
