Our 2015 #DisneySide @Home Celebration

Disclaimer: I received free products in order to host the Disney Side @Home Celebration. The opinions expressed here are my own.


A few months ago I was chosen to host a Mickey & Friends themed #DisneySide @ Home Celebration. We had such a great time planning and hosting our party! Below are the goodie bags I made our guests. 


I used the cookie cutters from last year's box to trace the Mickey heads and added a bow to distinguish Mickey (boy bags) from Minnie (girl bags)


We served our guests food from one of our favorite places .


I used the Mickey cake pan as a serving tray for chips and popcorn. 



The Duff tie dye cake turned out great and tasted so delicious. It was a big hit with all the guests.

 

 


The children absolutely loved the pin the smile on Mickey game!


I used an extra table cloth to create a backdrop for pictures and had my guests pose in front of it.




 


Our #DisneySide @ Home Celebration was a big success. The children had an amazing time and the adults got to learn more about Disney Parks. My family is very excited to plan our first every trip to a Disney Park very soon!

RedPack Tomatoes Review

*Disclaimer: I have received free products complimentary for review purposes only all opinions expressed are strictly my own.

A few weeks ago I received a kit from Redpack Tomatoes to test and review on my blog in honor of the "Redpack Carnevale" promotion. You can enter on their facebook page for a chance to win a Redpack tote bag or the grand prize, a pasta stock pot, pasta related serveware, and Redpack products, at Facebook.com/redpacktomatoes.

Included in my kit were the following:



  • 28 ounce can of Redpack Diced Tomatoes
  • 28 ounce can of Redpack Crushed Tomatoes
  • 28 ounce can of Redpack Whole Peeled Tomatoes
  • 6 ounce can of Redpack Tomato Paste
  • 6 Carnevale inspired recipes
The first thing I must say about I love is that the Redpack Tomatoes products are 100% natural! That means no added ingredients. It is also a gluten free product.

I love to cook, that is the reason I jumped at the opportunity to review this product. Redpack Tomatoes products are great for people like me who can't always make everything from scratch. 

I used my Redpack tomatoes to make the Baked Ziti. It was definitely a hit in my house. Not only did my daughter clear her plate but she asked for seconds! We usually have leftovers but not that night!

We absolutely loved the taste of these products. I enjoyed the recipes and am looking forward to trying new recipes from the Redpack Tomatoes website.
