This holiday season has been a struggle.  I am usually a lot further ahead.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ve done my share of tree lightings, attending holiday events, and homemade baking.  I’m a bit behind on the shopping end, and more importantly shipping those packages back home, and lets not forget that I didn’t even buy Christmas cards this year, but it’s okay.

A few days ago I had a complete realization.  We are in the technology decade, and it’s a-okay to send out your Holiday Cards via email.  And guess what? Your Intel Tablets make it so easy.

Christmas-Cards

We have a week until Christmas, and that means a lot can happen in the week ahead, but having an Intel Tablet makes things a tad bit easier.

Get the app 123Greetings through Google Play (It’s Free) and start picking out your holiday cards.  You will need to input your name and email along with who you are sending it too.  Write out your personalized message than send it off.

And lo and behold, your Christmas Cards are created, sent off, and done.  The best part?  It didn’t cost you a penny to do it, but you will need a bit of time to sit down and take the time in creating your cards and writing out your messages.

Not only that, but the Intel Tablets also make a great holiday gift.  Look how pretty it looks under the tree: Trust me I’ve enjoyed having my Dell Venue with me throughout the year.  From reading magazines and blogs right before bed to checking emails while watching TV to even creating my Holiday Cards.  It will be utilized.

5 Ways to Utilize Your Corningware Set! And Giveaway!

Posted on December 16, 2014 by Jamie

Disclosure: I received product for review purposes.  All opinions are my own!

As a baker, and wannabe foodie, baking dishes, utensils, and food storage were high on my wish lists this year for the holidays so when I received this 4 piece CW by Corningware 4 Piece Nesting Bakeware Set I knew it’d make a GREAT gift option for many others too.

As part of this year’s Holiday Gift List, and reviews I’ve been having tons of fun cooking with these fun, and colorful dishes.

5 Ways to Utilize Your Corningware Sets:

1) Start with Dessert

These dishes are the perfect size for a fun dessert or fruit salad.  Pictured above is the famed Pistachio Salad that my other halves family has become in love with, and a holiday tradition I make every year for them now.  Mix together Marshmallows, Pistachio Pudding Mix, Crushed Pineapple, Walnuts, and Cool Whip together, and refrigerate before serving.  It’s really that simple.

2) Make a Casserole!

One of the first things I did when I received my corningware set and Microwavable Corningware Mug was make a homemade Macaroni and Cheese casserole.  I a huge pasta girl, and a huge macaroni fan.

And oh my, did it turn out delicious!  And will become a family staple from here on out.

3) Make a Side Dish

4) Bring for Lunch!

Along with the CW Corningware Set I also received a fun Corningware French White Pop-Ins 20-Ounce Mug with Blue Vented Plastic Cover, White that is perfect for bringing your own lunches out to a picnic, to work, or elsewhere.

One night I decided to try the mug out with old fashioned tomato soup and grilled cheese.  The best comfort food out there especially with all the rain we’ve been having lately.

5) Give as a Gift!

Truthfully, the 4 piece CW Corningware Set would make for a great gift.  Think of the cooks in your life, the bakers, the newly wedded couple, or someone moving into their first home, or even the person that has had the same bakeware set for the past 20 years.  Everyone appreciates a little updating.
