My Favorite Products That Make My Life Easier

I'm sure you probably know from today to Friday (11th) is Prime Day.  If you remember my post about how I can keep this place up and running yearly, you know unfortunately Amazon is really the only way I can make that happen since I'm considered a 'mini' blogger.  My sassy thoughts doth not jibe with sponsors, my following is small (which I love actually) so Amazon affiliate links are the only way I can hit that target.   I will say that due to tariff pauses expiring at the end of day today, prices could go way up tomorrow (9th) so I would encourage you to buy today even though Prime Day doesn't end until the 11th.  I know I will be. I'm going to share products I love and if you check 'em out and buy them or anything on Amazon once you click through, it'll help me keep the place jumpin'.    Electric Spin Scrubber I can't begin to tell you the game changer this is especially for someone who isn't a clean freak.  The last thing my mind but mor...

Mediterranean Orzo Recipe

Mediterranean Orzo with Gardein Chick'n Scallopini

6 oz Orzo pasta
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 small head garlic
Black Pepper
Basil (fresh or dried)
Meyer Lemon
Fresh parmesan

Set oven to 400, cut the top off of head of garlic, wrap tightly in foil and roast for 45 minutes.  (You can do this earlier in the day)  Bring a saucepan half full of water to a boil and add orzo.  Cook for 9-10 minutes.  Strain pasta, add olive oil, roasted garlic, basil and black pepper.  Stir and allow to sit on simmer for about 3 minutes to let the flavors marry.  Serve and squeeze half a Meyer Lemon over the top of each serving.  (Cut side up to keep seeds in the lemon half)  Sprinkle 1 tbsp of shaved parmesan on the orzo and top with protein of your choice.  Pictured is a Gardein Chick'n Scallopini filet which was so so until it was cut up into strips and mixed in with the orzo which the hubby loved.  Serves 2.
