Celebrate Mother's Day With Personalized Soap From MySoftsoap

Create a gift that mom will love!

 I just love my new customized soap bottles that I received! They are so cute and look wonderful in my remodeled master bathroom and the downstairs half bath. Maybe I love them so much because I created them myself. I got to choose my design, colors and even place my picture on the bottle of hand soap. This Softsoap Custom Hand Soap was so easy to create and I even got to select the scent of soap. I, of course, chose Peony & Plum because it was purple, my favorite color. They also have scents like Wild Basil & Lime and Jasmine & Mint.

How To Make Mothers Day Special With Breakfast

Put a smile on mom’s face on Mother’s Day. 

  Moms do so much and they deserve a day to be pampered. Most moms are so busy taking care of the kids, the house, the husband, and so much more that nobody ever thinks to take care of them. So let Mother's Day be the day that you treat your mom or mother of your kids be a day that she will never forget.

       Start mom's day off with a delicious breakfast.

  What a better way to start mom's special day off than with a delicious breakfast. While I love the idea of breakfast in bed, it can be rather messy trying to eat in bed and the thought of the kids carrying food across the house would drive me crazy just thinking about what they spilled so I would not be able to enjoy my breakfast in bed. So a better idea is for the kids to help dad in the kitchen while he cooks up a delicious breakfast for mom. While mom is enjoying some extra sleep dad can make these simple-to-create recipes. While dad is finishing up breakfast, the kids can wake mom up with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and walk her to breakfast. Make sure the kitchen is clean before mom comes to the kitchen as a sink full of dishes would make it hard for mom to enjoy her breakfast.

Enjoy these simple-to-create recipes for your Mother’s Day breakfast

 Eggs are always perfect for a special breakfast. Add cheese and you have perfect gourmet breakfast that mom will love. These Quiches are so easy to make with Jarlsberg® Cheese Folios™. These unique cheese sheets form a wonderful bowl that holds the delicious scrambled eggs. The original recipe uses ham but I omitted the ham and added spinach and sweet peppers for a delicious meatless combination. I just love how versatile these Cheese Folios are. They are perfect for so many recipes.

Easy To Make Sugar Free and Gluten Free Baking Mixes

Looking for sugar-free baking mixes that are also gluten-free?

  I love when I discover a dessert mix that I can quickly make for my friends who have special dietary needs yet it tastes so good that everyone can enjoy the same dessert. That way my friends who need to eat sugar-free or gluten-free don't have to feel like they are a bother. I choose not to eat meat and I hate to make extra work for my friends when I eat at their house so I usually don't announce my food preferences as I don't want to be a pain. So I feel for friends who have dietary needs that must be followed and I always make a dessert that can be enjoyed by all my guests. I love that companies are making gluten-free/sugar-free products that taste so good that people are always surprised when I tell them it is gluten-free after they taste it. Most people who don't have special dietary needs would never try a dessert if you told them it was gluten-free or sugar-free as they think it will taste bad. I don't blame them as I have had some bad tasting desserts. I am glad that Sans Sucre baking mixes are made with all natural Stevia and gluten-free ingredients so I can make a delicious dessert for my friends.

 My family and I sampled the Sans Sucre Sugar-free and Gluten-free brownie mixes and they were so delicious! I was surprised at how easy they were to make. I did even have to add eggs, just oil and water! I loved that the recipe ideas on the side of the package suggested adding fruit and nuts for even more great flavor. Have you tried blueberries in Blonde Brownies? You should as it tasted like sweet blueberry pancakes.

Sans Sucre also makes these amazing Mousse mixes that my boys enjoy. Since they are sugar-free, this mom can say yes to dessert more often. My favorite flavor is French Vanilla. 

            They have other flavors like Chocolate, Lemon, and Key Lime to name a few.

You can find these delicious baking mixes in stores like Albertsons and HEB and online at
eDietshop.com
Amazon.com
KingArthurFlour.com
Netrition.com

These baking mixes are great to have in your pantry so you can make an amazing dessert for your friends who have special dietary needs that all your guests can enjoy!

KEEP IT HOT ON MAY 5TH - CINCO DE MAYO!

SAY OLE TO THE PERFECT CHICKEN GUMBO

ORIGINAL SOUPMAN LAUNCHES SEASONAL FAVORITES

SO GOOD YOU’LL PUT DOWN YOUR MARGARITA

The Original Soupman, the makers of the best-tasting soup in the world, is throwing a festive soup-parade in honor of Cinco de Mayo with a special batch of Chicken Gumbo soup. Now, no matter where you live in the U.S. you can start the party early and have Cinco de Mayo come to you by simply ordering it online at www.OriginalSoupman.com during the week of Cinco de Mayo, which is May 5th for special discounts.

 Will you be celebrating Cinco de Mayo?

Cinco de Mayo is considered the top day around the globe to celebrate Mexico and its rich history. The Original Soupman wants you to go beyond the Margarita – and enjoy the rich, authentic taste of their South-of-the-border Chicken Gumbo. Every bite of this Mexican inspired soup brims with tender Chunks of plump chicken breasts, tomatoes, okra, bell peppers, carrots, collard greens and celery simmered together with garlic, butter, authentic secret spices and just the right amount of chili peppers. No matter your own roots, one bowl of Chicken Gumbo and you’ll be dancing around your sombrero, ready to celebrate this festive day like a true Amigo!

“It wouldn’t be Cinco de Mayo without a great bowl of our Chicken Gumbo,” says Joseph Hagan, President of The Original Soupman.  “Maybe you can’t fill your sombrero with our delicious hot soup, but you can enjoy it in a bowl right at home wherever you live. We love our fans, and since our mantra is “Soup for All”, we have online ordering so everyone in the U.S. can enjoy a steaming hot bowl of our Chicken Gumbo Soup   – or any of our flavors.”

The Original Soupman brand became famous when the “Soupman” yelled, “No Soup for You” on the iconic television series Seinfeld, at the counter of the store ladling soup on any given day.  Today the brand stands for “Soupman -- Soup For All.”

The Original Soupman® soups are now available online and at Amazon.com.  For a store tracker or to order go to www.originalsoupman.com

About Soupman

The Original Soupman’s roots began at the famous 55th St. and 8th Ave. store which inspired the famous “Seinfeld” episode that made Soupman a cultural icon. The soups were praised by the New York Times who called it “Art, not Soup” and the soups were rated #1 by Zagat as it set the standard for excellence. Today, the Original Soupman has built on that innovation and sells their soups across America in Tetra Pak cartons in the soup aisle at grocery stores and online. They have franchised restaurants and fresh soup available through their foodservice operations.
