Cooking at home saves money and is more healthy. These pots and pans are not only pretty, but the perfect size to cook for a 4 person household. So far they clean really well. (affiliate link)

Tastes better and is cheaper than those bags of microwave popcorn. Just put kernels in this bowl, put on the lid and stick in the microwave. Because of the lid trapping moisture, the salt and powdered flavorings will stick to the popped corn. I use P...

I love this crock pot! You can put many of the components in the dishwasher, which is a big plus for me. I love that it locks. I don't have to worry about my chili sloshing all over the car. This particular model is a bit lighter than other Crock Pot...

I've had a lot of blenders over the years, and since I use them a lot they often don't last over a year. This Ninja Pro has lasted more than 5 years so far. My favorite things to make in it are smoothies with frozen fruit. I use frozen fruit instead ...

This is a great cereal to eat with or without milk. It has protein and fiber, and enough chocolate to feel indulgent. A great little on the go snack or a healthy breakfast. I like it with Vanilla Almond Milk. (affiliate link)

This tastes just like someone dunked a glazed donut in my almond milk. Sweet and tasty, with very little sugar. I pour this over my fiber cereal to give it a good taste. (Affiliate Link)

These Strawberry Graham Goldfish are delightful! They have a strong, delicious strawberry flavor. If you're looking for a fairly healthy snack that is a bit different, give them a try. (Affiliate Link)

20 grams in 200 calories is what I look for in a protein bar. I try to get the most bang (protein) for my buck (calories). For a protein bar with only 2 grams of sugar, this is great. I was tired of the chocolate and peanut butter bars. This was a ni...

My go-to yogurt. Very high quality, thick and rich. I use it in smoothies and it helps make them thick like a milkshake. I use it as a sour cream substitute and it is as thick, if not a bit thicker. It really works well. High quality, so a bit more e...

This tastes just like the cereal milk from Fruity Pebbles! It is delicious with less than one gram of sugar. I pour this on my fiber cereal, which doesn't have much taste, and I feel like I'm eating something sweet. This is my new favorite flavor of ...
Wow! Fruity Pebbles Protein Drink

This popcorn pops REALLY big! I have a microwave popcorn bowl and put these in the microwave. I have less waste and less not popped kernels than any other popcorn. They also pop big and fluffy, bigger than most other popcorns. This is the only popcor...

20 Grams of protein for 90 calories is a great deal! And it tastes great. I love this for between meals protein pick-me-up. (affiliate link)

I'm in love with these Cinnamon Cheerios. With 8 grams of protein, it's great little treat. I prefer to just eat these dry as a snack instead of a breakfast. And they don't taste like a protein snack, just like a regular Cheerio. (affiliate link)

I try to eat healthy, but when I want a sweet treat, I have these on hand. These chocolates are individually wrapped so I know exactly how much (sugar/cal) I'm eating. They are very sweet and one will hit my sweet craving, unlike the cheaper chocolat...

I bought my Vivoactive 5 Garmin Smartwatch in 2019 and in 2025 it is still going strong. I've had several smart watches before this one, and this one has not only lasted the best, it has held up. I lead a very active lifestyle and in these 6 years it...

This is the most accurate scale I've ever own, and I've had the smart scale Aria as well as others. My favorite feature is that it is wide enough for my cat. He also needed to lose weight, and I was able to train him to sit on it for a minute so I co...
