The Evolve Grill is specially designed to be as versatile as you need with up to 10 plates available for purchase. You start with a 4-plate starter set, then build your collection with as many plates as you need for 24/7 cooking versatility. The grill features our adjustable slope that lets you lay the surface flat for even cooking or use the patented slope to help knock out the fat as you grill. Our George Tough nonstick coating lets you cook without oil or butter, even on delicate foods. The 84 square inch cooking surface is perfect to feed your family of 4 all their favorites. With digital time and temperature control, you can get precise results on everything from omelets and sandwiches to grilled steak and poultry. All this, plus dishwasher-safe removable plates and accessories for easy cleaning.

**** I was told I would receive the Evolve grill with muffin pan, but i received the mini burger instead. I was a little disappointed, because I wanted baking to be a little easier.  We use the evolve grill everyday. It only takes half the time to cook anything than a regular grill. The first thing I made was Meatloaf in the deep dish bake pan. It came out very good! Since there is no drain in the pan, i had to take it off and drain the fat in the middle of cooking.  Since then I have cooked pork, and chicken and I never really get much fat in the drip pan. The only downside is it takes up a lot of counter space.

A Dog’s Purpose GiveawayClosed

Product Description:  “A Dog’s Purpose” is the remarkable story of one endearing dog’s search for his purpose over the course of several lives. Surprised to find himself reborn as a rambunctious golden-haired puppy after a tragically short life as a stray mutt, Bailey’s search for his new life’s meaning leads him into the loving arms of 8-year-old Ethan. During their countless adventures Bailey joyously discovers how to be a good dog.

Heartwarming, insightful, and often laugh-out-loud funny, “A Dog’s Purpose” is not only the emotional and hilarious story of a dog’s many lives, but also a dog’s-eye commentary on human relationships and the unbreakable bonds between man and man’s best friend. This moving and beautifully crafted story teaches us that love never dies, that our true friends are always with us, and that every creature on earth is born with a purpose.

I have one copy of this book to giveaway. (gift for a dog lover)

*****My son loves cars I have said this a million times, but he even more enjoys them when he doesn’t have to move them himself.  My son was beyond excited to try this out.  I wish my camera was working right.  This car is just like the real deal. It’s lights work and even sounds like a sports car.  The remote control looks like a walkie-talkie and id very simple to use. The only downside is it doesn’t do very well in the grass. My kids really loved this.

Winnie The Pooh Hits Theatres July 2011

Winnie the Pooh is going back to it’s Classical animation.

  

 the first big-screen Pooh adventure from Disney animation in more than 35 years. With the charm, wit and whimsy of the original featurettes, this all-new movie reunites audiences with the philosophical “bear of very little brain” and friends Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo—and last, but certainly not least, Eeyore, who has lost his tail.   “Well a tail is either there or it isn’t there,” said Pooh. “And yours isn’t… there.”  Owl sends the whole gang on a wild quest to save Christopher Robin from an imaginary culprit. It turns out to be a very busy day for a bear who simply set out to find some hunny. Inspired by five stories from A.A. Milne’s books in Disney’s classic, hand-drawn art style, “Winnie the Pooh” hits theaters July 15, 2011.
