According to a recent *article by the CDC, Americans are not getting enough sleep and it is quickly becoming an epidemic. Lack of sleep is not only mildly bothersome, causing minor life disturbances, such as forgetfulness and lack of concentration. It can also cause major problems, such as hypertension {high blood pressure}, depression and obesity.
*On Feb 6, 2013, a motor-coach bus bound for Texarkana crashed when the driver dozed off at the wheel. Seven people were taken to the hospital, none of the injuries were life threatening. The driver was charged with careless driving and was said to have fallen asleep and was unable to correct in time. Lack of sleep can often be caused by health problems, such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea or a neurological problem, but it can also be caused by simply having poor sleep habits. If you suffer from lack of sleep, that is not due to a health problem, there are several easy steps you can take to assure that you get the best sleep possible, according to a recent *Harvard article

I love my new Rollie Vertical Grille and I often find myself looking for new things I can make with it. The Rollie came with a great recipe book that suggested making pancakes on a stick, I decided to take that one step further and I came up with... are you ready for this?! Old fashioned funnel cakes on a stick! Yes! They are amazing and taste just like the real thing. Check out this fun printable recipe card I made. It will be very useful when you win a Rollie of your very own. Or you can buy one now, if you can't wait.
I am a sucker for any and all kitchen gadgets, so when I recently got the opportunity to check out a new product from Kalorik, I was super excited.
Kalorik is a well known maker of fine kitchen appliances. They've been around since 1930 and are leaders in the industry... and they're the makers of my other favorite kitchen appliance... my food processor. The new product I was given the opportunity to try is called The Rollie Eggmaster. The Rollie is an innovative, fun new way to make eggs, but it can also make much more than that! The Rollie can also be used to make pancakes on a stick {with or without sausage inside}, it can do eggs and sausage, omelets, Rollie dogs on a stick and that's just to name a few. Using the Rollie is easy as 1-2-3... Spray the chamber with non-stick spray, pour the eggs into the chamber and wait for your eggs to rise from the chamber... Easy Peasy and clean-up is a breeze. Simply rinse out your Rollie with soap and water and give it a quick scrub with the enclosed brush and you're done! |
