Vegetable Frittata With Feta Cheese Recipe #FastFiveMeals

April 12, 2013

Vegetable Frittata
Recently, I teamed up with some of my fellow Savings.com DealPro Ambassadors in a challenge to create and swap some Fast Five Recipes. Fast Five recipes are ones that are simple to make, and can be on the table in less time that it takes you to order and get a pizza. The Savings.com Meal Planning Workshops encourage you to have at least 5 “go-to recipes” that can be prepared from scratch, yet are simple enough to make on those nights when you are running around with the kids, etc.

For this challenge, we each submitted a quick and easy recipe. In return, we were sent the recipe submitted by another Savings.com DealPro, a few goodies and a $20 gift card in order to purchase the ingredients for the recipe.

The recipe that I got to try was provided by Renae from How To Have It All and it was delicious. The best part is that this recipe can be so easily tweaked to include your favorite vegetables or even ones that you just have left over in the fridge! Serve with a side salad for dinner, or even with fresh fruit and have it for Sunday breakfast!

Protect Your Files With Norton Online Backup + Giveaway! #nortonbackup

April 11, 2013

Norton Logo

We’ve all had it happen…your computer crashes, you spill liquid on your computer (frying it so that the hard drive can’t be recovered), you click on the wrong link and get a virus or so many other things that can drive you crazy.

When accidents happen, the thought of losing your personal and financials files can be devastating.  Of course, we have all heard for years about the importance of backing up our computers on a regular basis, but how often do we really do it?  If you are like me, you take your laptop in for a repair and the first thing they ask you is: “when was the last time you backed up your computer?” And you stand there mumbling “ummm…never?”

Norton Online Backup provides a simple, safe and secure way to backup your computer and protect all those important files and photos.  It is a personal cloud service that automatically backs up your important files to a Norton’s secure online data centers. In the event that you need to retrieve your files, you can do so through any computer connected to the internet via their secured password-protected webpage. Norton Online Backup is compatible with both Windows or Mac and protects up to 5 computers with a single subscription.

Best of all (because this is perfect for people like me), you don’t even have to think about it.  Simply install it, set the frequency for your backups and then forget it.  Norton Online Backup works in the background, so it won’t interrupt you or get in your way.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a computer whiz, but if there is 1 thing I know – it’s the importance of backing up your computer.  With Norton Online Backup, I won’t have to worry about it again!

WIN IT!

Thanks to the people at Norton, I have a 1-year subscription to Norton Online Backup to give away!

To enter to win (mandatory entry):

1.  Leave a comment on this post letting me know when was the last time you backed up your computer.

Optional Bonus Entries (leave a separate comment for each one that you complete)

subway-februANY

It’s FebruANY at SUBWAY® Restaurants! The biggest FOOTLONG™ event of the year is back. Several favorite varieties are just $5 all month and fans can choose from new $6 FOOTLONG™ specials, too. For breakfast, lunch or dinner, this is an event that satisfies every member of the family – at a great price.

Brad loves the $5 Footlong deals because he is CHEAP (not frugal, my hubs is CHEAP and unashamedly so!) and he can often get a Footlong Meatball Marinara for just $5! I try to go to the healthier versions and get a Turkey Breast or Veggie Delite sub, but this month there are just an obscene number of choices for you to save money at Subway.

(Don’t forget, if you are like me and can’t eat an entire footlong, you can always get the sandwich, eat half and take it home for dinner that night or lunch the next day!)

And now Subway has given me a $25 Subway Gift Card to give away!

To enter to win (each counts as a separate entry, so leave a separate comment!)

1. Leave a comment letting me know which Subway Sandwich that is on sale this month is your favorite.

To increase your chances of winning, there are optional entries available for you, which are:

Subway | $2 6″ Subs + Gift Card Giveaway!

December 10, 2012

December is Customer Appreciation Month at Subway and to celebrate, Subway is offering $2 6″ subs all month! You can choose between the Meatball Marinara and the Cold Cut Combo!

I absolutely love Subway and, while they aren’t expensive, I love that they run offers like this as well as (usually) 1 or 2 different $5 Footlongs each month. I will never eat a Footlong for 1 meal so for me – it is an ultra-frugal lunch out (because I will take the other half home either for dinner or lunch the next day).

Brad, on the other hand, can eat a foot-long without even breaking a sweat, so he has really been taking advantage of this special. So far, he has bought 2 6″ Meatball Marinaras for lunch or dinner 3 times this month already…and it’s only the 10th of the month! We were at the mall tonight to get our family picture for our Christmas card and yep…that was his dinner!

The Giveaway

In honor of Subway Customer Appreciation Month, I am giving away a $20 Subway Gift Card! This would be a great way to grab a few lunches for free while you are recovering from all the Christmas shopping and bills to come! To enter to win (this is the only required method of entry):

  • Leave a comment letting me know your favorite sandwich or salad (did you know they have those too?) at Subway

As an optional bonus entry:

  • Subscribe to the Moms Need To Know daily email newsletter and get all the deals that I post each day in 1 handy email. Once you have subscribed and confirmed your subscription, leave a comment letting me know! If you already subscribe, leave a comment letting me know!

This giveaway will end Saturday December 15, 2012 at 10:00am EST and the winner will be notified by email. Please allow for 3 weeks for prize fulfillment.

Giveaway | Strawesome Glass Straws Prize Pack

August 3, 2012


The next giveaway that I have for you is a Strawesome Glass Straw Prize pack!

If you have never used glass straws, you have to try them! Not only are they better for the environment (because they are reusable…think of how many plastic straws you have thrown in the trash over the years), but they are fun for the kids (mine LOVE them) and because they are glass, you don’t have any of the plastic taste of a straw added to your beverage (Jonathan has assured me that his chocolate milk tastes MUCH better with a glass straw)

Strawesome straws are made of borosilicate glass (which is more durable and more resistant to breaking than other glass), are non-porous and hypo-allergenic, microwave and dishwasher safe and BPA-Free and toxin free. They come in a variety of sizes…from the same size as a “regular” straw to wider straws that are perfect for smoothies! I have been making green smoothies lately and just love the smoothie straws.

Want to send your glass straw to school with your kids (or just use it yourself when you are out & about)? Strawesome even has cases for your glass straws so you never have to use a plastic straw again (just make sure to remind your children not to throw it away!). Worried that you might break the straws? While they are very durable, things can happen. Strawesome has a lifetime replacement guarantee on their straws!

There are many different kinds of straws to choose from – but luckily they do have a buying guide to help you figure out what would be best for your famil

And now Strawesome has given me a prize pack to to give away to 1 lucky winner! The price pack includes:

Mega Straw Set: Includes one of each of the following: Baby See-thru, Baby See-thru Smoothie, See-thru,See-thru Smoothie, Big Daddy See-thru, Big Daddy See-thru Smoothie, Barely Bent, See-Thru Barely Bent Long, See-Thru Barely Bent Long Smoothie. Save money by ordering these straws as a set.  This set comes with 2 cleaning brushes.

Just for Kids Set: Includes a set of 4 straws that are 7? in length. The straws are bent so it becomes shorter and easier for children to use. Includes a cleaning brush.

To enter to win (each counts as a separate entry, so leave a separate comment!)

1. Leave a comment letting me know which set is your favorite.

To increase your chances of winning, there are optional entries available for you, which are:
