Browsing the Sears site, I came across a few things I need for business trips I’m taking next month. I like this top from Classic Elements:

And these pants from Apostrophe:

What I like best about shopping for clothes at Sears is that they have a Women’s Plus department, which means the clothes fit my, um, fuller figure. They even have pants in Women’s Plus Petite, which means the pants fit my, um, fuller figure AND aren’t too long. It’s a win-win for me right there :) Check out the great deals at Sears on clothes. Print the coupon at http://urlbrief.com/58bff5 so you can save even more. Happy Shopping!

Win a Stonyfield Farm Yogurt Prize Pack!

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the winner, Grammy Janet!

I used to buy another leading brand of yogurt (rhymes with cannon) until I was contacted about reviewing Stonyfield Farm Organic Yogurt. I used the coupon I was sent to purchase a quart of fat-free vanilla, used some of it in a recipe, and left the rest in the fridge. A few days later, my 12 year old informed me that I should only buy Stonyfield Farm from now on because it was “so much better” than that other brand. Well alrighty then!

I used the yogurt I bought to make brownies. If you’ve never tried No Pudge brownie mix, you really need to get some the next time you are craving brownies. All you do is mix it with fat-free vanilla yogurt and bake, and you get fudgy, delicious, guilt free brownies!  The Stonyfield Farm website has a link to more recipes, including one from my friend Anne-Marie from This Mama Cooks!
