The best rolls I've ever made!

I was scrolling through posts on the Krazy Coupon Lady blog when I came across one that had 10 of the Best Copycat recipes. One of those recipes has now become a family favorite that my kids beg me to make over and over. Its for the Texas Roadhouse Rolls.

My honey cinnamon butter never comes out just right, but the rolls are always divine. Bakerette.com came up with the recipe so I won't copy it here but the link is above and pictures of mine are below. Enjoy them! 

Bagblaze website review and giveaway

I was recently contacted by Bagblaze to check out their updated website and host a review.

They revamped their website and made internal changes to provide better service to their customers. They offer quality products at steep discounted rates. What makes them different from their competitors? They keep their inventory in a controlled warehouse so they have less mistakes when it comes to shipping products out. Right now they have a special running. Every new customer can get 10% off their first order.

This is a great addition since everything listed is at a discount already. I like the variety they have and I hope they can expand it to even more products. I found that I was unable to add things to my wish list though as I browsed the home page. You have to click on the listing itself to add it to your wish list or cart. And then, the only way I could get something off was if it were ordered. So after I compared the products that I saw I might be interested in, I couldn't narrow it down as I read the description of each one.

I was a little confused at first about the ordering process. I had a code for $20.00 to use as part of the review. Knowing that what I was ordering was under $20, I wasn't sure at first that the amount left over would be added to the shipping which was just $2 flat rate (SUPER CHEAP SHIPPING!). After entering my card info though, it came out of the remainder.

So be patient as you order if you get a gift card code or such. The website overall is easy to use. Everything is clearly described with as much detail as to be expected. Pictures give you a pretty good idea of what you are considering buying. 

I think it's great that the shipping is a cheap flat rate, but it takes a long wait. I ordered on June 29th. And it arrived on the 14th of July. It's your average pleather-like purse. Not much to say about the item itself. 

Time for some giveaway fun! I'm hosting a Rafflecopter contest so that one lucky winner will get a coupon code for $20 to use on the Bagblaze website. Good luck everyone!

Label Daddy labels review

Its that time of year again when getting ready for school becomes more of a priority. Granted, you don't have your child's class requirement list just yet, but that doesn't mean you can't get a head start on things you know will be on it. I know Target has some deals on Yoobi school supplies.

50% off even.

But what happens when you get those other things like backpacks and pencil boxes? Or even those lunch boxes. How do people know that those things belong to your kids?

You need to label them! Label Daddy offers a variety of packages to choose from with so many images/styles to make your labels speak of your personality. I ordered Disney's Jake and the Neverland Pirates for my oldest son.

 I love their labels. Glossy, easy to use, durable, clear to understand, and they often have discount promotions going on. Plus they are washable! 

School supplies aren't the only things to label. Maybe your kids are still getting off to camps. Don't forget to label the things they take with them. Use the code USFAMILY20 to get your 20% discount at checkout and get ready for the school days and camps! Use this link to go straight in.

The Iced Cupcake store review

I recently went out of town to visit a friend. We went to Katy, Texas. While there, we passed by a cute little cupcake shop that I suddenly had the urge to stop in. Granted, I didn't want to just spring my sudden desire for a rich cupcake on the two guys I was hanging out with, so I was thrilled when one of them said something about the shop instead. Yay! Of course I offered to buy everyone a cupcake if they would agree to walk across the parking lot with me and get them. Who is crazy enough to turn down a free cupcake?? Inside did seem a little dark, I'll admit. But it was a nice, clean shop with friendly staff who were very patient with my little group or undecided cupcake buyers. Prices may be considered a little high for someone who is used to making their own, but after tasting one... I can live with $3.00 a cupcake. Of course that's only applied if you buy 6 or more. And since I wanted at least two flavors (let's be real, I wanted to try almost all of them), I decided to give each of us 2. If you buy 1-5 cupcakes, they are $3.25 each. They also have sugar cookies and can do custom cakes. The presentation of each one was appealing, the taste... superb! So moist and rich in flavor. I got the Sassy Strawberry and Triple Chocolate ones. Probably shouldn't have eaten both in one sitting, but I just couldn't help myself. 
So if you are ever passing through Katy, I suggest you take a few minutes to stop by and show some love to The Iced Cupcake. I tried to check out their website, but its getting a face lift at the moment. Instead, check out their Facebook page. And where was this cupcake beauty when I was at the shop?!?
