SAVE A TREE !! Use Palm Plates Instead of Paper Plates
Disposable ECO FRIENDLY Palm Plates from Marxfoods.com are a great way to do something for the environment, and still be elegantly in style 🙂
The plates are just gorgeous to look at – they are earthy and elegant all at the same time – and they fit right into backyard gatherings, picnics, barbecues, as easily as they fit into every day life.
I have used them in their expected manner (as a replacement for disposable paper plates) and I have also used them as serving dishes for items that can be quickly wiped off the surface (like pretzels, bread, nuts) so that I can use them again and again. No matter what paper plate I’ve used, I’ve never had the urge to hang on to it because of it’s beauty. But if you fall in love with these plates like I have, then I’m sure you’ll find yourself doing the same thing 🙂
The plates come in all shapes and sizes and there are even matching forks, spoons and knives available. All are priced right on the Marxfoods.com website and you can get much information about how the plates are made – it’s really pretty amazing.
I have gone so far as to repurpose a few gently used plates and they have stood up well to a light washing – bet you can’t do that with your Chinette plate 😉
You’ll be seeing many pictures on my blog using these plates – they are definitely on my list of favorite products and I hope they become one of yours too. But for now I’ll sit and look at them naked (the plates naked, not me – haha), that is when they look just perfect as a picture.

Blondies and Maple Sauce
The good folks at PlentifulPantry sent me a couple of their dessert mixes to try and here is the second installment….Chidester Farms Blondies with Maple Sauce. The mix makes is sooooo simple to whip up a batch in no time and the blondies were very good – but what made this dessert GREAT is the maple sauce !! IT was rich and sweet without going overboard. It is a perfect sauce – I want to buy it and put in on EVERYTHING 🙂
The big box comes with enough ingredients to make 2 batches – 2 batches would fit in a 9×13 baking dish while 1 fits nicely in an 8×8 baking dish. This is as simple as putting together a cake mix – – simple, simple, simple . And the blondies….oh they just melt in your mouth !
As well as the mix, you will need a few ingredients:
¼ c water
1/3 c vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 batch yields 12 servings
250 calories per serving
Just follow the package instructions and then sit by the oven and wait – because you want to dig into these as quick as humanly possible !
Try serving with some lite vanilla ice cream or some whipped topping.
Be sure to visit PlentifulPantry and check out their products – they have a whole bunch of ‘partially prepped’ products that get you out of the kitchen faster without skimping on quality. This is also available this month at Costco – so be sure to get some and put the sauce in your coffee, on your morning cereal, in your granola – and even on the blondies 🙂
Key Lime Cheesecake Bars

These are amazingly easy to put together and the results are outstanding – the bars definitely taste completely homemade. I had doubts about a chocolate crust with a citrus dessert, but it was a perfect accompaniment.
As well as the mix, you will need a few ingredients:
1 c hot water
2 8 oz. blocks of cream cheese
6 T butter
1 batch yields 16 servings
120 calories per serving

I’m a Winner :) Thank you Foodie Blogroll !
I received my Barney Butter prize and I AM HOOKED ! Regular almond butter is usually gritty and pasty – this is nothing like that… it’s even creamier than Skippy creamy peanut butter. And the chunky version is just divine !
For breakfast I often have peanut butter on toast while my husband has his ‘almond paste’ on toast. Â Not any more ! This product is really grand.
And forget about baking with it – – I am going to make chocolate cupcakes and use the chunky version as the frosting. It will be like frosting them and then sprinkling with nuts – but all in one application. I am so glad my local Shop Rite carries this product. If your grocer does not, visit the website at www.barneybutter.com and get yours today. You won’t believe the difference.

I’ve won a food contest at Foodie Blogroll 🙂
Once I receive my prize, I’ll be sure to test out the product and leave some feedback here – I’m already thinking about some almond cookies…Mmmmmm
Have any of you ever tasted this product before?
