Most Popular Product Shares This Week:
1. OxiClean MaxForce Laundry Stain Remover Spray - My go-to stain remover!
2. Large Silicone Dough Mat - I LOVE having a big dedicated silicone mat just for rolling out dough, and the one I have has the measurement markings both along the edges and in circles in the middle, perfect for pies, cut-out sugar cookies, pizza dough, and any pastry dough. I can't recommend this enough! (Currently over 50% off + 5% coupon)
3. Indoor Plug-In Fly Trap - We started using this last summer; it's AMAZING at catching flies and fruit flies. We keep it plugged in year-round.
4. Shape Shifting Box - Dominic got one for Christmas last year, and all three kids constantly want to play with it. I picked up two more last week!
5. Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce (for making the copycat Chipotle chicken recipe!)
6. Jigsaw Puzzle Board with Drawers – This puzzle board lives on our dining room table for most of the year; I love to always have a puzzle going and it draws the kids in, too! (The 1,500-piece size, which I have, is currently 20% off with an additional $20 coupon, which makes it less expensive than the 1,000-piece size. A great deal if you’ve had your eye on one or want to get a gift!)
7. Ancho Chile Powder - Another ingredient that packs tons of flavor into the reader-favorite copycat Chipotle chicken recipe.

What I Bookmarked This Week
We had this homemade hamburger helper for dinner this week and we loved it! I did forget to buy the broccoli, though… I’m sure no one missed it 😄
We also made these creamy slow cooker chicken taquitos (our first time having taquitos!) and the kids loved them, said I should save the recipe and make them again.
Want to try these chicken lettuce wraps one day soon!
How good does this look?! >> Sausage and Kale Butternut Squash Gnocchi
This crockpot chipotle queso chicken chili looks amazing!
Have a delicious weekend!
What’s wrong with Duke’s left leg visible in the last photo???
Hi Rita, He injured his ACL back in the spring. It wasn’t a total tear and the vet recommended a custom brace in lieu of surgery. He’ll have to wear it for a total of 9 months.
Hello! Reading about leaving your puzzle board out on your dining room table most of the year made me think of your Sunday dinners and wondered if you still have them. I always enjoyed reading about what you were planning and seeing your Sunday dinner menus posted each weekend. I always got some good dinner inspiration from them.
Have a great weekend! Go Steelers, Pens, Pitt, and yes, even Penn State (along with our Friday night lights. Some great games there with big wins.) :))
