The other day, I made homemade carrot juice from a huge bag of fresh carrots. It was my first time using a vegetable juicer machine, so I was unprepared for the amount of carrot pulp that was left in the juicer machine. I knew that the process of turning carrots into carrot juice did not use the whole carrot and extracted the juice from the carrots, but that was a lot of carrot scraps. While most people just toss the carrot peels from the juicing machine, I do not like to waste food. If you don't own a fruit and vegetable juicer, check out the juicer that I have. It is an amazing juicer at an amazing price.

Don't Toss That Carrot Pulp!

 After you squeeze all that orange juice out of the carrots and start cleaning up the juicing machine, don't toss the leftover carrot pulp? While it may look like trash, that container of carrot juicing leftovers is loaded with fiber and still has some nutrition in it. The carrot waste is perfect for many recipes. It has the perfect texture to add fiber to your favorite healthy recipes. Carrot pulp can even replace some of the flour in gluten-free recipes.

Carrot Pulp is

~ Healthy

~ Full of Fiber

~ Nutritious

~ Plant-Based

~ Perfect for Recipes

What can I make with carrot pulp?

 So I enjoyed a cup of my DIY delicious sweet carrot juice and placed the rest in the fridge. Then I turned on my computer and searched for recipes for carrot pulp. Carrot pulp is loaded with fiber and nutrition. What I found was the usual grated carrot recipes like carrot cake and carrot muffins, but one recipe stood out to me. That recipe was Homemade Crunchy Carrot Juice Pulp Crackers. While the name of the recipe did not sound appealing, the photo of the carrot crackers looked delicious. Also, the description of the crackers sounded yummy. Crispy gluten-free crackers that are made with superfood ingredients sounded amazing.

Healthy real food ingredients 

 The crackers that used carrot juice pulp were also plant-based and were made with 7 clean, real food ingredients. I loved that the crackers would be a healthy snack that was also vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, oil-free, and paleo-friendly. These healthy crackers were a perfect solution to use up leftover carrot juice pulp from a carrot juice recipe. They were also so easy to make. 

An alternative to store-bought crackers

 I love crackers, and they are my favorite snack. My boys also like crackers, so we buy a lot of crackers from the store. Store-bought crackers tend to be loaded with sodium and sugar, along with preservatives. Then the gluten-free crackers can be overpriced, and the boxes are so small. So, making these carrot crackers can save you money, and you can control the ingredients.

Ingredients needed for carrot pulp crackers

 These crunchy carrot crackers are made with 7 superfood ingredients and I bet you have many of them in your pantry. If not, the carrot cracker ingredients are easy to find in stores. 

Carrot Juice Pulp ~ Save the leftover pulp from making carrot juice and store it in the fridge for up to a week or even longer in the freezer

Flax Meal or Flax Seed ~ You can use flax meal or grind flax seed into flax meal

Chia Seeds ~ I like using black chia seeds, but white is fine to use

Quinoa Flour or Almond Flour 

Salt ~ Salt and crackers go together. If you are watching your sodium intake, feel free to omit

Garlic ~ Minced or powder

Water

Sesame Seeds ~ For sprinkling on top of the crackers

Mix, press, and roll

These crackers are super easy to make. Just mix the ingredients into the carrot pulp and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then add enough water until you can form the mixture into a ball and it sticks together. Think about the texture of cookie dough. Then press and roll the cracker dough on a baking sheet. Sprinkle sesame seeds on the crackers. Take a pizza cutter and slice the dough into squares. Then place the crackers into the oven and bake. It could not be simpler. In no time, you have crackers that are amazing for snacking or dipping into your favorite dip.

Crunchy and delicious healthy crackers

What can I make with carrot pulp?

 I love my Slow Masticating Juicer Machine for making cold press juice. My favorite vegetable to juice is carrots. Carrot juice is so sweet and loaded with nutrition. 

 After I enjoyed a cup of my DIY delicious sweet carrot juice, placed the rest in the fridge. I then saw all the leftover carrot pulp and knew that it could be used in recipes.

Carrot pulp is loaded with fiber and nutrients

While carrot juice is loaded with awesome nutrition, many people toss the carrot pulp after making the homemade carrot juice recipe. What they don't realize is that the carrot scrapes or carrot pulp contains plenty of healthy fiber and nutrients like vitamin A. So it is a healthy addition to many recipes like carrot cake, quick bread, veggie burgers, and waffles. I have discovered that adding carrot pulp to recipes gives the food a nice orange color but not the taste of carrots. These homemade waffles do not taste like carrots! So you can serve them to your kids and they will never know that you put healthy carrots in the waffles. Even my husband enjoyed the carrot waffles and he usually does not eat my healthy foods. My husband even asked me to make another batch of the carrot juice pulp waffles.

Send Joy This Christmas With Teleflora

 Sponsored post

This holiday season, send joy to someone who needs it

The holiday season will be tough this year for so many people. The Covid 19 virus pandemic has made things like traveling difficult this year. So that means so many people will not be able to visit loved ones like their mom or grandma. So many single people may have to celebrate Christmas by themselves. While we have online video calls they are not the same as seeing someone in person for the holidays.

Send Joy This Christmas With Flowers 

 This year, it’s more important than ever to let family and friends know you are thinking of them from afar. Teleflora, the world’s leading floral delivery service, introduces its 2020 holiday campaign, “The Impromptu Choir,” relaying how a little ingenuity and some festive spirit will allow us to celebrate the holidays “together.”

 I can't help but think of people like my mom, who lives alone, and how lonely she must be most days. She can't go to the senior center for lunch due to shutdowns and her monthly widow group is unable to meet, thanks to a lung virus named corona. So I look for creative ways to cheer her up and one of those ways is with a floral delivery. I sent my mom a flower arrangement for Mother's day and I remember the joy that it brought her.

 Launching today, the heartwarming spot harnesses the power of song and holiday magic as a neighborhood comes together to bring cheer to their neighbor, Carol. Unable to be with her family this year, Carol is overcome with joy when her neighbors surprise her with a Teleflora holiday bouquet and erupt into an impromptu performance of “Silent Night.”

Christmas is not canceled

While some may think Christmas is canceled due to a pandemic, it is not. People need Christmas more than ever as this holiday celebrates the birth of a savior and people need Jesus in their life. Even if you choose to follow Jesus, Christmas is still a time of sharing gifts and joy with others. The holidays are a time to think of others and a time of giving to others. That giving part does not have to cost a lot as it can be as simple as baking some Christmas cookies for a neighbor to sending a bouquet of flowers to your mom.

 “While 2020 has been filled with overwhelming obstacles and little to celebrate, Christmas is not canceled. In fact, now more than ever, it’s important to Love Out Loud and spread holiday spirit as many families and friends will be apart,” said Danielle Mason, vice president of consumer marketing, Teleflora. “We are excited to launch a campaign that focuses on the heartwarming joys of life—the unexpected gifts of the season and communities coming together—while supporting local florists and bringing a smile to customers’ faces and a moment of joy to their hearts with Teleflora arrangements.”

 This campaign was developed by The Wonderful Company’s in-house creative team, Wonderful Agency, under guidance from Mason and Jeff Bennett, president, Teleflora.

 The above video was awesome and it gave me joy to watch it. Watching the “The Impromptu Choir” video that Teleflora made reminded me that so many people need joy in their lives and I will look for opportunities to bring a smile to someone's face. It reminds me to stop and talk with my neighbors while I am out for a walk. The video reminds me to call my mom more often. The holiday season is a time for me to spread joy and sending a flower arrangement to my mom will bring her some joy.

 “This past year has been challenging, but above all, it has given people across the globe the opportunity to reconnect with life’s simple pleasures,” said Bobby Pearce, chief creative officer, Wonderful Agency. “Teleflora’s new campaign embodies nostalgic Christmas moments that make the holidays so special, encouraging communities to come together and uplift one another.”

 I know that fresh flowers brighten my day. Over the years of working with Teleflora, I still get excited when I receive a flower delivery. It is when I place the fresh floral arrangement on my dining room table that it begins to feel like Christmas. The receiving of flowers is what sparks holiday joy for me and inspires me to start decorating for Christmas and start baking the best sugar cookies for Christmas.

 “The Impromptu Choir” is an extension of Teleflora’s overarching “Love Out Loud” brand platform, which launched during Christmas 2017. To share the holiday spirit with friends and family afar, Love Out Loud and surprise them with a unique Teleflora arrangement. Teleflora’s best-selling Christmas lineup features beautifully curated arrangements always made by hand and delivered to your doorstep by a local florist. Each bouquet comes complete with a festive keepsake container that can be incorporated into home décor for years to come.

This holiday season, send joy to someone who needs it.

Wubble Rumblers For Safe Epic Battles

 Sponsored Post

 As a mom to four boys, I am quite used to the rough and tumble that comes with raising boys. I have been raising boys for 26 years. Two of my sons are adults and the other two are teens. Boys can be wild and crazy but they are what makes my life exciting. It does not matter what age boys are, they love to wrestle and have battles. So I have learned over the years how to make the play of boys safer. I have also learned how to let boys be boys. Most boys love action play and as a mom, I have learned to set rules when it comes to their wild play so they don't hurt one another.

 I remember when the youngest boys were little and they wanted to join in on a dart blaster battle with their older brother. The younger boys had a blast with their older brother until a foam dart hit them in the face. So after giving them hugs to stop the tears, and reminding the older son about not aiming at the face, one would think that the younger boys were done playing with their older brother. Nope, they quickly picked up their blasters and started blasting at their brother. The older brother did not want to be reprimanded again, so he made the younger boys wear goggles and helmets. 

Provide safe toys for play

 So when I shop for toys, I look for toys that minimize the hurt factor. My boys love rough and tumble fun. My boys love and need active play. So when the box of Wubble Rumblers arrived at our house, my boys could not wait to play with them. They wanted to open the boxes up as they were ready to rumble.

 I was not ready to take pictures and I was afraid if I let them blow up the action figures, that they would find a way to pop them. So I told them that they would have to wait a day for their play battle. My boys then drooled over the boxes that contained a Wrestler, Ninja, and Fist Wubble Rumbler. They could not wait to have fun with these squishy, squashy inflatables.

So easy to inflate

Once I was ready to take photos of the Wubble Rumblers, I gave my boys the go-ahead to blow them up. My boys loved that a pump was included with each Wubble Rumbler. So they could each join in on the fun of blowing the Rumblers up. My boys were amazed at how quickly the guys came to life. I was amazed at how big the Rumblers were as they were a gigantic three feet tall!

 As soon as the Wrestler, Ninja, and Fist were filled with air, the boys had to start whacking each other with them. I thought for sure that the Rumblers would pop or someone would get hurt. These amazing guys were made for rough and tumble fun. They were also super soft so no one was getting hurt. I did have to remind the boys that they were supposed to have the Rubblers battle each other and not to wack each other with the inflatable guys.

 My boys had a blast with the Rumblers and I had a hard time getting my boys to stand still for a photo with the Rumblers. My boys had fun posing with their new friends and could not wait to take the  Wubble Rumblers to the park to have a battle with their friends. These cool guys are awesome for play fighting and I knew that they would be a safe way for my boys to have rough and tumble fun with their friends. The boys would also get some exercise with the Wubble Rumblers.

Makes a great Christmas gift

The Wubble Rumblers would make a great Christmas gift for kids. Wubble Rumblers are not only fun but they are affordable too! Each one can be purchased at Target or on the Wubble Ball website for under $15. They make for the perfect gift for active kids. They are also great for park playdates! This is a toy that needs to be on your holiday wish list.

Wubble Groovy Ball

 My boys also received a couple of Wubble Groovy Balls with their Wubble Rumblers. These giant bubbles are super squishy and bounce like a ball. The Wubble Groovy balls made for some awesome indoor fun. My boys had a blast bouncing the Groovy Ball on the floor and tossing them. I thought for sure that the Wubble Groovy ball would pop but they did not even after my boys played with them.

Froggy Lair is the Perfect Pet For Kids

 

We received an African Dwarf Frog Biosphere from Froggy’s Lair for free to review. Opinions are our own.

 I am not a pet person. There are so many reasons why I don't choose to have any pets. For me personally, pets are more work than having kids. Many people may argue with me but once my kids get past the diaper stage, I no longer have to clean up after them in the bathroom department. Kids also don't need to be walked or have to be let outside to use the bathroom. Then there is the hair shedding issue and most pets tend to smell. Ok, my boys do once in a while have smelly feet or body odor but they can take baths on their own. Some pets even make too much noise! Kids eventually move out of the house, pets don't. I totally get the pet companionship thing but I don't even like animals to get close to me.

 So over the years, my kids have asked for a dog or another pet. I veto getting a dog right away as I know that even after my kids promising to take care of the dog, I will end up being the one who feeds and cleans up after the dog. I have a perfect excuse for not adopting a cat as three of my kids are allergic to cats. I did give into a fish many years ago but the fish jumped out of the bowl. A couple of years ago, my neighbor gave the boys a turtle but it climbed out of its outdoor cage. So I told my kids they can have a pet when they find one that does not poop, as I hate the maintenance that comes with a pet. So my kids stopped asking for a pet. 

  I discovered the perfect pet

 So when a brand reached out to me and asked me if I wanted to review an African Dwarf Frog Biosphere, I did my research and said "yes!" The Froggy Lair website promised that these cute little frogs were easy to care for and need almost no maintenance. The frog's habitat was even cool looking and would provide some STEM learning for my boys. So I started to prepare for the arrival of two adorable Dwarf African Clawed frogs by filling up a pitcher with a gallon of water to let it dechlorinate. 

I only had a day to get ready for the tiny frogs as they were being shipped overnight to my house. I had planned to surprise the boys but they were curious about the pitcher of water on the kitchen table. So I told them that they were getting a pet that lives in water. The boys asked if they were getting fish or a turtle so I gave them a clue and said it had legs. My son asked if it was a frog and when I said yes, he had a hard time understanding how a frog could need such a small amount of water and could come by the package man.

The pet that comes with everything that you need 

 The small frogs arrived in a small cooler with everything that they needed, I did not have to purchase a thing, which is a good thing when your town is under a severe Covid pandemic lockdown. The only stores open were grocery stores that had long lines to get in due to the governor's rules of only 75 people at a time inside. Thankfully the city water has little chlorine in it so I could use it for the frog tank if I let it sit for 24 hours. 

 The dwarf frogs brought their own house or Biosphere with them. They also arrived with food, some sand, a bamboo plant, some decorative gravel, and a couple of hiding rocks. These cute froggies make great first pets! They are also the perfect pet for those with busy schedules, limited space, and fear of high maintenance live critters or plants. The Foggy Lair is the perfect pet to help prevent the Covid Slide in kids as they make for a great science lesson.

Super easy setup

The frog's Biosphere was super easy to setup. My boys placed the sand and gravel on the bottom of the tank. Then they added the three bigger rocks, which provides a hiding place for the frogs, and bamboo plant. Then it was time to slowly add the water to the tank. Once the frog's house was ready, it was time to let the frogs move it. The frogs were delivered in a bag of water so all we had to do was to open the bag up and pour them in.

 The frogs were happy to be in their new home and began to swim around. My boys enjoyed watching them swim in the water. The Biosphere even came with a light and I had the choice of many different colors of gravel to select from. I selected Heavenly Blue but I did consider purple or pink gravel. I think the blue rocks look nice in the water.

Very low maintenance 

The best part of owning African Dwarf frogs is how little work it takes to keep them happy. The frogs only need to be fed 2 times a week and their water only needs to be changed every three months. The frogs have no odor and make no noise. That is my kind of pet! For now, the Dwarf frogs are downstairs in my photo studio. One of my sons has set up his online school in my office so he will enjoy watching the frogs swim while doing his school work. At night time, I use this room to do my pandemic exercises and I have been enjoying my view of the frogs. I think the frogs even like my exercise music and dance along with me. Eventually, the frog's Biosphere will be moved up to my other son's bedroom. 

Makes a great Christmas gift

 The Froggy Lair Biosphere would make the perfect holiday gift for kids of all ages. This is a pet that most any parent would welcome. The frog kit would also be a great gift for adults as they could place one in their home office to bring a relaxing touch. I know that the frogs would breathe new life into a small home office space. Make sure to check out my holiday gift guide for other great gift suggestions for the whole family, friends, and more.

Laser X Evolution B2 Blasters Gets Kids Moving

Sponsored Post

  It seems that all my boys want to do is play computer games or watch videos. So I am always looking for ways to get them off the couch and get some healthy exercise. You would think that having to be on the computer all day for virtual school would be enough computer time but nope my boys love watching those silly Youtube videos and playing on their electric devices. Add in the days getting darker due to winter and they can't even meet their friends at the park after online school. 

 So I am glad that I discovered Laser X Evolution B2 Blasters to get my kids off the couch and moving. My boys were super excited when we received the home laser tag system. The Laser X family is not new to my boys as they already own several of their products. Earlier this year my boys had the chance to check out the Projex video game system. This was a unique fun video game system that needed no TV and instead could be played on the wall, making it an awesome at-home arcade game.

 Two years ago, my boys had a blast discovering the Laser X Micro Blasters with a fun laser battle at the park. So when they opened up the box of the Laser X Evolution B2 Blasters, they were happy to see the new features that these laser guns had when they compared them to the Micro Blasters. While the Micro Blasters had cords and armbands, the Laser X Evolution B2 Blasters had advanced sensors along with an interactive voice "coach." This laser tag game was a cool new addition to the Laser X family.

 My boys noticed right away that this home laser tag system had so many other awesome features that were built into the laser blasters. My boys liked that they could choose from more than 20 team colors to light up their blaster so it would be different from their opponent's blaster. My boys also liked that the laser blasters were wireless so they were so much easier to maneuver. The laser light beams also would work inside or outside, in darkness or bright sunlight. So my boys could have a laser tag arena in their own backyard or inside their house. No matter what time of day it was my boys could get some healthy exercise with a game of laser tag.

When the Laser X Evolution B2 Blasters arrived, it was a cold windy day outside so we put them to the test inside the house. My boys loved that the blaster beams could go through windows and strategically bounce off walls and mirrors to hit opponents. The laser blasters also had a quick-slide reload to keep the action going. My boys quickly discovered that the light beams work from a far distance, so one boy could be upstairs and blast the other, from the upstairs landing, who was downstairs. These light beams could work up to 300 feet! 

 My boys informed me that the new Laser X Evolution B2 Blasters would work together with the Laser X Micro Blasters so they could enjoy a game of laser tag with their friends at the park. My boys thought it would be cool to have a laser tag match with 10 or more people as the Laser X games can include unlimited players. Now all they had to do was to convince their friends to include the Laser X Evolution Blasters on their holiday wish list. My boys know that Laser X products make for great Christmas gifts for kids from 6 all the way to teenagers.

Product Information Summary:

Laser X Evolution, sold exclusively at Walmart, is a new addition to the Laser X family and works with all previous Laser X products!  Laser X is the #1 Home Laser Tag System on the PLANET! Laser X Evolution is like having a laser tag arena in your own backyard! Blast opponents up to 300' away – inside or out, in darkness or bright sunlight. Choose from more than 20 team colors to light up your blaster! Blaster beams go through windows and strategically bounce off walls and mirrors to hit opponents, while quick-slide reload keeps the action going. Advanced sensors on the blaster allow an interactive voice "coach" to offer tips and tricks throughout the game. All Laser X gear works together. Games can include unlimited players. Ages 6+. Requires 6 "AAA" batteries (not included).

Makes a great Christmas gift!
