Yochi Yochi Shoe Review

December 10, 2013 By callie Leave a Comment

I was wondering what to get my sister’s son Rex for christmas. He is 3 months old and at this point a toy is pointless because he is so young. I wanted something his momma would like and I found Yochi Yochi shoes in Captain Zuga.

I am going to be real honest, I have 4 kids and the kids that are not walking, it’s almost pointless for them to wear shoes. They never stay on and don’t actually use them so they never were worth the trouble for me. But if my child is going to wear shoes, they need to #1. Stay on and #2. Look extremely cool

I am in love with Yochi Yochi kids shoes! Not only do they actually stay on but they are some of the coolest kids shoes I’ve ever gotten! And they even squeak! Yochi Yochi shoes are made with a small squeaking diaphragm in the heel of each shoe which causes a small squeak when your child takes a step. With the squeaking sound of every step, you can find comfort in that fact that your stealthy child will have a hard time getting away from your side without you knowing. Seriously, I had some squeaking shoes with my little girl and that girl could get into anything but with those shoes on, I could always keep tabs on her whereabouts.

As you can see, they are good for lounging around the house on the coach…

Taking a stroll around the christmas tree…

And they even attract the ladies…even if it’s just your sister who needs a hug!

Go here to shop! They would be the perfect gift idea for that little one in your family!

I have added this to my Christmas Gift Guide section where I will be adding all the best gifts you need to get for your family this year.

Check out the Gift Guide here.

December 9, 2013 By callie Leave a Comment

Kids everywhere are pondering if it is better to give or to receive a lovingly made craft from one of Choose Friendship’s five creative kits. The blissful buzz on these crafty kits can be heard online, on the school bus and down the street as kids — boys and girls — create one-of-a-kind accessories that allow them to unplug and reconnect, including My Image Bracelet Maker. Tune into QVC’s Gifts for Grandkids on December 11^th at 1pm EST for this exclusive deal!

I honestly love a good handmade gift! And I know grandparents go wild over anything that has a picture of their grandkids. My husband parents live out of town so I try to send them pictures as often as I can!

Now you’re asking yourself—how do you use your own photos to make an image bracelet? There is a free MyPhotosizer app or website, www.myphotosizer.com that allows kids to easily upload and crop photos to a 4×6 card then simply print from a home printer or from a local photo center. The enclosed cutting mechanism safely trims images precisely to size and fingers never come into contact with the cutter. QVC’s Deluxe My Image Bracelet Maker makes 2 more bracelets and includes extra orange, red, white and clear glitter tiles and 2 additional holiday image sheets, not found in any other My Image Bracelet Maker kit! With the holidays right around the corner, don’t forget to tune into this QVC exclusive deal on December 11^th at 1pm EST during Gifts for Grandkids!

I have really been trying to focus on fun things I can do with my kids and still keep my craftiness in full force and it’s products like these where we can work together to make something amazing that I like to buy!

New Chapter…

December 9, 2013 By callie Leave a Comment

So let’s just rip it off like a bandaid. I am no longer going to be a full time deal blogger….

First of all I wanted to say thanks so everyone who has followed my page from day 1. I could have never been this successful without each one of you!

Oh and I AM NOT Pregnant! Lots of you funny people guessed I was but 4 kids is enough for me

Since having our sweet little Summit 3 months ago things have changed and trying to care for 4 kids under 6 years old, homeschool our oldest, keep up our house (somewhat , and be a good wife, I just can no longer posts deals all day long. As a deal blogger you have to post so many times a day and you never get a day off and since I am a one woman show who doesn’t have anyone’s helps on this blog, something had to give.

Will I never post deals again? Hardly! I love saving money and will have to post some!!

What will happen to this blog? Right now, I am changing the name of my blog from Cajuncouponer.com to Asweetpotatopie.com. I want to do more reviews, recipes and all around craftiness but of course in a frugal way.

If you go to either website, both will have the SAME content so you can type in either and still find me!

I still will be posting deals I find on instagram so if you don’t follow me you should, I find some great deals and post them instantly there without having to type up a whole blog post.

I starting this blog to help people save money and still intend to do that just maybe in a different fashion. I can still talk coupons everyday of the week so if you still have coupon related questions, do not hesitate to email me!

I would love for each and every one of you to come on this new journey with me! I have so much fun ideas to blog about and recipes to share so I pray you will support this new endeavor.

My kids are only little once and I can’t stand the thought of them growing up being glued to the tv while mommy is glued to her computer. I know this is just a season and one day they will be grown and I will regret spending so much time on my computer and not hugging their little necks.

Thanks again for coming back every day and supporting this blog and I pray you won’t stop coming to see what other things I have in store for you guys! Plus I will still be doing giveaway just as a way to say thanks!

CopyCat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Loaves

December 9, 2013 By callie Leave a Comment

*I am a good cook kitchen expert and was given a loaf pan but all opinions are my own.

Christmas is here and so is the sugar high that is about to rush over you! I decided to make a savory loaf of bread with my Good Cook non stick 4 cup loaf pan instead of a sweet loaf. Trust me, all your friends and family will be getting a sugar overload so this is something super easy and savory you can make,

I am going to be honest. I am not a fan of boxed mixes. I have tried EVERYTHING to replicate this recipe without Bisquick and have not achieved the right taste so in this instance, a pre made mix is a must! When we go to Red Lobster, I cannot help myself from eating a thousand of their biscuits and this recipe tastes exactly like them!

I teamed up with Good Cook and they gave me a non stick 4 cup loaf pan to use which is such a great size to make little goodies for all your friends and family this christmas season. The best idea is to buy the Good Cook Loaf pan here, and once you bake your bread, take them out of the loaf pan to cool. Put them back into your pan and wrap with some pretty cellephane and give the loaf and loaf pan as a gift! This is for those people who a simple loaf just isn’t enough!

And last but not least if your going for the best taste, use parsley flakes not fresh parsley, it tastes much better! BUT the fresh looks so much prettier so I suggest just buying a little bit of fresh parsley to sprinkle on top when your done but use the flakes in the melted butter…trust me.

Ingrediant gang:

Parsley (fresh or dried)

Good Cook Mini Loaf pan

2 cup cheese (half cheddar and half whatever, I choose the mexican mix)

4 cups bisquick

4/3rds cups milk

butter

garlic powder

parmesan cheese (optional)

Heat your over to 400 degree’s. Add a little oil to the bottom of your greased loaf pan and pop in the over. Let it heat up while you are mixing.

Add the bisquick, cheese and milk together.

Grab your best frand and get her to stir!

Mine seemed a little dry so I added a little milk. I also live in a high altitude so that could make a difference but add enough milk to where your dough looks moist.

I am the queen of undercooking. I hate to eat things that are overcooked but this recipe is the exception! Since these are pretty dense AND thick, you need to let them cook as long as you can. These do not taste good undercooked so make sure the tops are pretty brown.

Don’t they look so good??! The loaf pans worked fabulous!

Now melt the butter in a bowl. Add the garlic powder and parley. Stir together and spoon over loaves. Let dry before wrapping to give away or the butter will stick to your paper.

Oh and I added a little parmesan cheese to the tops of my loaves because the 2 cups of cheese in the bread just wasn’t enough for me but of course it’s optional.
