Well, we are surviving the snow storm, 2010 here in Oklahoma and I am out of Bisquick. You know the easy stuff, you can read directions on the back, make dumplings like a rock star, and ta da.. you are a gourmet cook.
Alternate plan:
2 cups of Self Rising Flour
3/4 cup of milk
Mix
Bring boil in pot of soup. (I do chicken, chicken soup starter, veggies, and chicken broth)
Drop tablespoons of dough in boiling pot, cover 10 minutes, uncover for 10 minutes and that is it. Really it is that easy!

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and research shows that the #1 gift this year is actually the simplest gesture that speaks volumes. It’s a kiss, according to the new NIVEA “American Mood Monitor” conducted by one of the world’s leading consumer research companies, Iconoculture.
So what is American saying and what do they really want for Valentine’s Day? Here are the results from the research:
It’s an “Appreciation Economy”: Keep the pricey gifts at bay! it’s simplicity that speaks volumes actually. Consumers are keyed in on authentic everyday occurrences that demonstrate love, thoughtfulness and appreciation. Letting loved ones feel understood and cared for are impactful ways to keep romance alive and couples connected.
Making virtual connections: Consumers tweet, blog, talk and read on forums, so online openness and sharing of public information is on the uptick.
NIVEA’s XOXO Chain lets consumers share virtual hugs and kisses. The online program runs through Valentine’s Day and all are invited to share, and show, the love at http://www.niveausa.com/xoxochain by uploading their own photos and videos to the site. Nothing mushy here – $1 from each XO will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters organization.
Make that kiss memorable: Simple, heartfelt gestures are the best way to offer the gift of love. In fact, the most desired gift this Valentine’s Day is a kiss. Luckily, NIVEA Lip Care offers a wide variety of products to perfect that pucker so you’re irresistibly kissable.
Enriched with natural Beeswax and Shea Butter, NIVEA A Kiss of Moisture and A Kiss of Flavor range (cherry, passion fruit, pearly shimmer) will hydrate and offer long-lasting protection for soft, yummy kissable lips – SRP $2.99.
Enriched with natural Shea Butter and Vitamin E, NIVEA’s Glossy Lip Care range (Natural, Pink, Red) of squeezable tubes leaves smooth lips with a sheer, glossy shine and a hint of color – SRP $3.29
And NIVEA’s got you covered when it comes to hugs too. Two-thirds of participants in the NIVEA American Mood Monitor research self-identify as huggers, so warm, lingering embraces are just as vital when showing affection. NIVEA offers both a hydrating body wash and lotion for smooth, huggable skin.
NIVEA A Touch of Sparkle Cream Oil Body Wash, with white calla scent and diamond powder leaves skin soft and shimmering (SRP $6.49 for 16.9 OZ.).

This ultimate, healing body butter pampers skin with nourishing shea butter and African herbs. On the entrancing island of Madagascar grow the richest, most intoxicating vanilla beans in the world. By daybreak vanilla orchids open and by nightfall sigh their last breaths making these hand pollinated beans one of the world’s most costly spices. The choicest plump beans impregnated with earthy, warm notes impart their aroma into this hedonistic blend. Wild harvested African herbs of aloe ferox, kigelli and African potato tone and encourage skin renewal. Forty percent organic shea butter deeply moisturizes the skin, penetrating deep beneath the epidermis to deliver valuable nutrients. This potent blend reduces stretch marks, soothes eczema and sends dry skin running.
I love just about anything vanilla, and I was not disappointed at all with the Bourbon Vanilla Indigenous Shea Body Butter ($18). I’ve tried body butters from brands such as Carol’s Daughter with displeasing results and was quite reluctant to try another body butter for awhile. This one is thick and has a very pleasant scent. You will definitely like this if you’re fond of vanilla scents. I honestly don’t think I’d want to try another scent. It smells that good! Unlike the others, this body butter doesn’t leave a greasy feeling and absorbs quickly. I highly suggest applying it before going to bed so your body can reap extra benefits.
The Mint Marrakesh Indigenous Black Soap Elixir ($18) is ideal for acne and blackheads. A lot of spa owners and magazine editors rely on this ancient remedy for amazingly beautiful skin. It will even your skin tone, diminish sun damaged skin, reduce eczema, dry out and prevent acne, speed up healing of open wounds, diminish razor bumps and dissolve the “glue” that holds on dead skin cells.
The mint feels amazing on the skin since it is so cooling. It is a great pick me up on those sluggish days, and I have experienced a few of those lately. I mainly use it for acne since I’ve been having a few bad breakouts lately, which can be utterly embarrassing. There are some days I will not leave the house when I’m experiencing bad breakouts. However, this product has been extremely helpful. It isn’t the best I’ve tried, but it has helped out a lot. That is what matters the most.
Oh, how fantastic! I honestly haven’t tried a lip balm awesome as My Lip Stuff until now. The Shea Propolis Organic Shea Lip Butter ($4) glides on so smoothly. It is highly moisturizing and keeps my lips puckerlicious!
The power of the rose can not be described by words. Our ancient mothers relished the soft, sweet petals, wore them in their hair, rubbed them on their breasts. Our ancient mothers relished the way they left their skin fragrantly soft. Prized became the rose when our mothers discovered that their petal soft skin and rose fragrant bodies became weapons of mass seduction.
I’ve been on the hunt for a good rose petal face cream, and I’ve finally found it! The Rose Petal & Red Bush Shea Butter Face Cream rose petal cream will make your face feel utterly soft and moisturized without breaking you out. Trust me. I’d tell you if I experience any breakouts with a product. This powerful formula combats redness, scarring, and has been found safe to use for those with hyper-sensitive skin – yay for me! This cream is fantastic to use in very cold weather.
