Little Caesars Soft Pretzel Crust Pizza & Cheese-N-Pretzel Dippers Review and Giveaway #PretzelCrustNation

For my family we enjoy pizza in the summer the most. We love not having to heat up the house on a hot day with the oven and just a drive to Little Caesars to pick up dinner. This particular trip to Little Caesars we planned to try the Soft Pretzel Crust Pizza and Cheese-N-Pretzel Dippers. I absolutely LOVE soft pretzels and was eager to try the pizza pretzel combo.

My son loved the Soft Pretzel Crust Pizza and wanted more of it after 3 pieces. It was a good pizza combo with the soft pretzel crust, I thought the pretzel cheese on it was a bit rich but my family loved it. I did eat like 4 slices of it, it was hard not to! The Cheese-N- Pretzel Dippers were delicious. I have always been a huge fan of Little Caesars bread sticks and now I will be adding the pretzel dippers to my must have side items at Little Caesars.

Garden Fresh Chicken Zucchini Bake Recipe





There are lots of zucchini and other veggies coming from our garden right now, and it's really exciting. It can also be a challenge to find a way to use them in recipes, and to make sure they don't go to waste.

This recipe for Chicken Zucchini Bake uses four cups of chopped zucchini, a box of stuffing mix, and a couple of cups of cooked chicken. It's easy to make, and is super good.

When I made it last night for dinner, I was hoping for leftovers, but no such luck. It was really nice though to see my grandchildren eat this dinner up, and get some of that good zucchini in their bodies.

Of course, if you don't have a garden filled with zucchini, the grocery stores and farmer's markets are filled with them.

This dish is great-tasting, easy to make, and when you have leftovers, reheats beautifully. And even if you are not a zucchini lover, try this recipe and you just might change your mind.

Recipe for Chicken Zucchini Bake

Makes 6 Servings

Ingredients:

6 ounce package of boxed stuffing mix (like Stovetop)
1/2 cup melted butter
4 cups zucchini, diced
2 cups of cooked chicken, cubed
1 can Cream of Chicken soup (10.75 ounces)
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup sour cream

 

Directions:

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine the stuffing mix and melted butter. Set aside 1/2 cup of the of the mixture for the topping. Add the zucchini, chicken, soup, onion and sour cream to the remaining stuffing and stir together well.

Place the zucchini mix into a greased 9 x 13 glass baking dish and spread out evenly with a spatula.

Sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup stuffing mix on top and bake uncovered for 45 minutes.

 

I originally posted this last August, but since it's such a great zucchini recipe, I wanted to share it with you again. Enjoy!!

Sofft Shoes Summer Sandal Sale and Breeze Sandal Review

I am a blogger and a working Mom. I am on my feet 8 hours a day and shoes are the most important item in my wardrobe. Being comfortable and fashionable can often be a challenge. I know many gals at work who have aching feet, knees and back from not so good shoes. Luckily I am able to wear many types of shoes to work and in the summer that allows for sandals. I LOVE cute and comfy sandals!

There are a few brands I know I can trust for comfort and Sofft Brand is one of them. I selected the Breeze Sandal in Luggage color for my review since its a cute wedge heel, stylish and would be secure on my foot with the zip back. I could not be happier with this shoe. I have worn it to work many times this past month which happens to be our second busiest time of the year and my feet did not ache. I even found a co-worker wearing the exact same pair of Sofft Breeze sandal. We giggled a bit that we were shoe twins.

Sofft shoes is having a Summer Sandal sale where you can get the Breeze or any of the other stylish shoes on sale. Some styles of Sofft shoes are on sale at Nordstrom too.

The Breeze Sandal in Black

I enjoy shopping online from the comfort of my home or on my phone. I always try to find a good deal, a discount code or free shipping, every little bit counts. Sofft shoes has Always Free shipping and returns. Another nice thing about Sofft is they make a Made in the U.S.A. Collection in addition to their other lines. I like the Sofft Cadee shoe from the U.S.A. collection.

You can connect with Sofft Shoes on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest. When I find brands or sites I like I usually sign up to their emailing lists to get the sales and coupon notifications. Do you own any Sofft shoes? What is your favorite one?

Plum And Raspberry Galette Recipe

A few days ago my family and I went to a friends' house to pick yellow plums from her plum trees. We brought back baskets full of the sweetest, juiciest, plums I've ever eaten.

I'd never seen or heard about yellow plums before, all I know is that they are delicious. So I decide to make a couple of fruit galettes, one for my family and one for our friend who let us pick the plums.

I decided to combine the yellow plums with some raspberries. I've found that raspberries go really well with other kinds of fruit in a galette or pie, or even a fruit crisp.

The warm weather we've been having here in the Seattle area has helped make the plums ripen beautifully. There were so many of them, and the air was actually fragrant with the smell of sweet plums.

 Even my grandchildren picked some when we held them up high enough so they could reach them. And we ate as we picked because they were so delicious, right of the tree.

I know a lot of people get nervous about making pastry, so making a pie can seem intimidating. I felt that way too, so I started making fruit galettes.

They are really quite easy to make, and I love the rough, rustic way they look. You only make one piece of pastry, and then pile the fruit filling in the center and then fold the dough in on top of itself.

I love making these, and they are really so delicious. I hope our friend likes the one I'm making her as a thank you for all those delicious plums.

Recipe for Plum and Raspberry Galette

Ingredients for pastry dough:

 2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons ice-cold milk

1 egg
1 tablespoon water (to make egg wash)

Directions:

  Combine first 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Mix in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk together egg yolk and milk, pour into flour mixture, stirring just until dough starts to form a ball.
Press together with lightly floured hands, and form into a flat round. Cover with plastic wrap, and place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Ingredients for filling:

 4 cups yellow plums, quartered, pitted, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup fresh raspberries
 1/2 cup sugar
 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions:

 Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, toss together plums, raspberries, sugar, and flour.

Remove dough from refrigerator. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface into an approximate
10-inch round. Place on a large, lightly greased baking sheet. Scoop plum and raspberries mixture into center of round.
Fold about 1 inch of dough all the way around to form a rim. Combine egg and water, brush outside of galette with the egg wash.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on pan 20 minutes, then move to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Serves 6.

Shop The HUGE Safeway Anniversary Sale For Great Savings

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #AHugeSale #CollectiveBias #Safeway

Do you love a good sale? You can bet I do, so I'm excited to share with you about the Safeway Anniversary sale. There are so many great items on sale, including 24-can Pepsi cubes, 8-pack bottles of Gatorade, and the party size bags of Lays Potato Chips. And I'm totally loving these chicken breasts that are on sale, too!

Since Safeway opened a new store that's only a quick drive away for me, it's become my favorite place to do my grocery shopping. I can always count on finding my favorite products, gorgeous fruits and veggies, and a super friendly group of employees who are always so helpful.

Of course, if you are like me and my family, saving money on my grocery bills is pretty important. We are very price-conscious shoppers, so shopping at Safeway every week has become what we do to save grocery dollars, while still buying what our family wants and needs.

Since my daughter's birthday is coming up very soon, I'm stocking up on our favorite items for a birthday barbeque for her. I can almost taste those yummy barbequed chicken breasts. Not only will they be great for her birthday dinner, but because they are on sale, I can stock up and freeze them for other meals, too.

I live with my daughter and her family, which includes my three grandchildren. I had forgotten how much kids eat, and boy, do they! So it's great to save money on our grocery bills, which seem to get higher as the kids get older.

The Safeway Anniversary sale runs July 29 - August 11. I shopped the Safeway Huge Anniversary sale, but be sure to check out what great deals are available at Albertsons, Vons, Star Market, and Shaws too!

Since my son-in-law is such a big Pepsi lover, I was happy to get the Pepsi cubes on sale for a great price. When we have friends and family over for barbeques, I love putting lots of cans in a big tub of ice, and everyone just helps themselves to a drink.

Oh how I love Lays Potato Chips! They have been my favorite brand for many years, and I love all four kinds.

They are a big must at our house for barbeques, picnics, and just plain snacking. The Party size is a terrific value, and the Anniversary sale makes it easy to stock up on them.

Since my five kids are all grown-up, it can be a challenge to buy them a birthday gift that they will really like. Safeway offers the biggest selection of gift cards that I have ever seen, so I've been giving gift cards, which seems to make everyone happy. And no returns needed!

I can pick up a gift card here to some of my kid's favorite stores and restaurants. It's super convenient and one of the reasons why Safeway is my favorite grocery store.

We are all Gatorade fans, and stocking our pantry with it while it's on sale is a must. There are so many flavors to choose from now, and I have quite a few favorites.

Seattle is experiencing record breaking heat right now, and like lots of people here, our house doesn't have air conditioning. The house gets hot and stuffy, so we have been spending lots of time out on the deck.

It's great during the day, and especially during the evening. And we love our Lays Potato Chips and our favorite dip to enjoy no matter what time it is!

I make an onion flavored dip to eat with the wavy or regular chips. I don't make it as spicy as I used to because my grandchildren don't like it that way.

Of course these two little partners in crime had to get in on the chips and drinks. My two youngest grandchildren are only a little over a year apart. So when they aren't arguing, they are best buddies.

We love our Pepsi and Gatorade, and with the heat wave we have been having, we sure are going through a lot of beverages.

I'm so glad I can stock up at Safeway right now and take advantage of those great Anniversary sale prices.

Since I live in the Seattle area, it's very often cold and rainy during the fall and winter. Getting your groceries into the car after shopping can mean you are soaked by the time you're finished. That's why I am so happy my new Safeway has underground parking. It really makes all the difference, and my grandchildren love taking the elevator and pushing the buttons.

Safeway is my go to grocer. Shop the HUGE Anniversary sale and stock up on your favorite brands 7/29 - 8/11.

I'd love to hear how your family will stock up!
