#BeWell Giveaway Hop

This is a brand new giveaway hop that I hope will be done every year.

Welcome to my stop on the First Annual Be Well Giveaway Hop.



Lets give thanks to our hostess for this event



This giveaway will run from today 
February 29 to March 14th
The theme of this giveaway is
 being well or staying well.

All participating blogs, 
will be working with this theme and 
have prizes with a minimum value of $15.00


My prize, 

11 oz Tupperware Impressions Tumblers
with a ARV of $25
These tumblers are pretty awesome if I do say so myself, I recently got a set for myself.

You need to stay hydrated to keep your body healthy, but if you happen to get a cold or be sick, the more fluids you consume the better you will feel and the faster you will get better.

These tumblers are great for everyone, kids or adults, with the dripless seal ... no more worry about missing the table and having it all over the place.  Insert a straw into the seal and even around the straw it won't leak with that dripless seal!

As I am a Tupperware Consultant, 
this prize is self sponsored and shipped by me.

Don't want to wait, 
you can buy these from My Tupperware Site.
Or you can try your luck by entering using the super easy Rafflecopter below.

Sweet Potatoe Latkes

I know these are simply awesome using regular potatoes, so I bet using sweet potatoes is pretty smart .. 




Ingredients
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3″ chunks
  • 1 yellow onion, cut into 3″ chunks
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tbsp. oil

Instructions
  1. Assemble Grate Master™ Shredder with large cone attachment and place bowl underneath.
  2. Place sweet potatoes in hopper two at a time and turn handle to grate the potatoes. Press down using plunger as necessary. Repeat this process until the remaining sweet potato is grated.
  3. Repeat process with onion until it is completely grated.
  4. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl of grated sweet potato and onion and mix until combined.
  5. In fry pan, heat oil over medium heat.
  6. Spoon 1 tbsp. of mixture at a time into hot skillet, making sure they do not touch.
  7. Flatten with a spatula and cook until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes.

Don't these look like they would be perfect for your next dinner table?  Or when everyone wants "something" different but don't know what.  Make sure you pick up your own Grater Master Shredder from my Tupperware site so when the cravings hit you have everything you need to make this dish.

#Intelliarmor for your charging station


I want to keep Big Brother Happy, so please note, 
I received this product for free or at a deep discount to facilitate my review, in exchange for my honest opinion. I will only highlight products I feel will be of benefit to my readers. For more information regarding product review, please refer to my media kit.


intelliARMOR 5A 4-Port USB Portable Wall Charger
I don't know about you, but in my house we have what always seems like a never ending clutter of charging cables.  I think I have more "extension octopus" setups for everyone to charge their daily must haves then I ever had.  And when we travel, I think the TSA people just roll their eyes will all the cables and charging bricks that appear in our carry-on bags.

The intelliARMOR 5A 4-Port USB Portable Wall Charger  is definitely a wonderful addition to my house and I bet it would be for yours as well.  




This is just my charging station.  In my house that means we have 2 more stations just like this.  I told you it is the extension octopus land here.







All the same charging cords now fit on one brick, I'm missing my kindle charger in these pictures because I took it to work and left it in my bag.  But there is still room for that one too!



I love how well it is packaged too.  It fits nicely in a compact box because the plug is on a rotating/collapsable piece so that it can be stored flat for travel.  Yes this does make it really convenient for travel.



I am impressed that it is intelligent enough, even though it is compact and small, to be used on all kinds of devices and that it will stop charging automatically when your devices are fully charged  No more "over charging" that causes battery issues in the past.  

I will definitely be getting more of these for my household and maybe one or two for travel, so we will always have a charging port available while in a hotel with multiple devices.  

The folks at Intelliarmor have graciously offered my readers a pretty nice discount, 20% off their purchase.  
Use code SmartPwr to grab one of these for your own.  Better yet, get one for everyone in your family so everyone will have an organized charging station.

Cauliflower Lime Rice

Now this one looks interesting and of course it uses some of my favorite things ... like the Tupperware Grater Master Shredder and Avocados.



Ingredients
  • 1 head cauliflower
  • ½ tsp. coarse kosher salt
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp. lime juice
  • ½ cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 ripe
  • hass avocado, cut into bite size pieces

Instructions
  1. Cut cauliflower florets off of stem.
  2. Assemble Grate Master™ Shredder with coarse grater cone and place medium bowl underneath.
  3. Place cauliflower florets 1–2 at a time into hopper. Press down gently with plunger and turn crank to grate cauliflower. Repeat with remaining cauliflower until all is grated.
  4. Fill water tray of Tupperware® SmartSteamer with 1¾-cup water. Place steamer base over top of water tray and place Tupperware® SmartSteamer Tray over base.
  5. Add grated cauliflower to Tupperware® SmartSteamer Tray, cover, and microwave on high for 8 minutes.
  6. Toss steamed cauliflower with remaining ingredients. Serve warm.
You can watch it here ... I love this Grater Master Shredder for so many things.  I am definitely doing this one really soon.

As always, any of the Tupperware products mentioned/used in these recipes can be seen in further detail or purchased from my Tupperware Site.

Let me know if you have any questions.  I'm here to help.

Past Mistakes

I really like this one.  
It's definitely one to think about when you feel like you have done nothing right in your life.


This is one that makes me realize that even when I make mistakes, yes even I make mistakes (I'm joking, I'm joking) I am learning something.  

Mistakes are generally not fatal.  
Mistakes are a way to learn what NOT to do.  
I think it was Thomas Edison that said he didn't make a mistake, but learned how not to do something, when he had tried many times to do something and then finally achieved his feat.  The "light" went on too.

When things are going wrong, take this to heart, that you are learning, not defining yourself based on what has happened.  

Mistakes can always be looked at as one of the guides in your life because they help to steer you toward the next opportunity that you will encounter.  

And opportunities are what feed our dreams.

Thanks SimpleReminders.com for the reminder.
