Grateful Giveaways #2: ZeroWater Prize Package

by


Necessity is the mother of invention, ZeroWater® technology was developed to solve a mother’s fatigue from dragging gallons of bottled water jugs home from the grocery store. With the only in-home filtered water system that meets the FDA’s definition of purified bottled water, ZeroWater’s patented five-stage ion-exchange filter consistently delivers the only filtered water to measure 000 parts per million of total dissolved solids.

What does this mean to the average household? Great tasting water that is good for you, with ZeroWater’s patented technology you can have water free of heavy metals (arsenic, chromium-6, benzene, lead, aluminum, chlorine, chromine, copper, perchlorate, mercury) that have dissolved into your drinking water.

Prior to receiving the ZeroWater kit, I assumed that we were doing pretty good with the filtered water from our refrigerator. Boy was I in for a surprise when I tested the water with the ZeroWater tester… My so-called filtered water actually had a higher ppm reading than the water straight from my tap! Nevertheless, ZeroWater was able to achieve a 000 ppm reading as promised, and I can actually detect the difference in taste. Of course, now I’m hesitant to use the ice cubes from our ice maker.

If you’re interested in purchasing the ZeroWater system, use coupon code“zwmom” at checkout to get $15 off a two pack of filters or 8-cup dispenser.

Our second prize pack is from the folks at ZeroWater® and is valued at $120

Each prize pack contains…

  • ZeroWater® 23-Cup Filter Dispenser
  • 8-pack filter refill pack

What more can you say about The Peanuts? I grew up watching the Charlie Brown holiday specials every year growing up, and it’s a tradition that I now get to share with my own kids. I love that they look forward to them as much as I do!

We watched the new Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown DVD last night as a family, and it was absolutely adorable. And the coffee table book is absolutely amazing. There are so many little surprised tucked in it — my kids have spent hours paging through it.

Win-It Wednesday: The More Make it Fast, Cook it Slow Cookbook (10 Winners!)

by

Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday, with 24-hour giveaways just for you!

New York Times bestselling author Stephanie O’Dea has a new book, More Make it Fast, Cook it Slow, where she breaks down slow-cooker meals into three categories of frugal meals: $7, $10 and $15 meals, and these meals aren’t your standard slow-cooker fare with options ranging from mint chocolate fondue to leg of lamb with rosemary and lemon.

I’ve always been a fan of using my slow-cooker, but I’ve rarely ventured beyond the tried and true recipes that my mom passed on to me when I got married. I love that Stephanie’s book encourages getting outside of your comfort zone with the crock pot. I would have never considered making lasagna in my slow-cooker otherwise!

I bought four cans of John McCann’s Steel Cut Irish Oats off of Amazon a few months ago… and then I, ahem, forgot to cancel my Subscribe & Save order, so I ended up with eight cans of oatmeal and not a clue how to cook it easily. So I was really excited to try Stephanie’s ingenious method for making them in the crock pot.

I threw all of the ingredients together last night and simply let it cook while we were fast asleep. Yes, apparently I slept right through a possible tornado touching down nearby! Anyhow, it was nice to wake up to a hearty breakfast that simply needed served with a little fruit and milk on top.

I’ll probably do a little tweaking to the recipe because I’ve always preferred my oatmeal made with milk, so I missed that bit of richness that milk adds. I’m guessing that Stephanie used more water to keep the price of the recipe under $7, and it’s perfectly delicious as is — that’s just my preference.

I’m totally looking forward to trying more recipes from More Make it Fast, Cook it Slow! Be sure to check out Stephanie’s blog, A Year of SlowCooking, as well.

Ten lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers will each win a copy of the More Make it Fast, Cook it Slow cookbook by Stephanie O’Dea.
