Tomoson: Vivree Kitchen Tongs Set

*Disclaimer - I received the products in this post from Tomoson in order to facilitate this review for my readers.


I was selected to work with Tomoson on a review of a set of two red tons. These are awesome for salads and pasta meals. I have owned a pair similar to these, but not made of silicone like these are. The best thing about this set of tons is that they open and close to make it convenient for placing the tongs on a flat surface. They're high quality tongs that are made of silicone. 

I love summer products that are great for cooking out, and while these tongs maybe great for pastas and salads, they also are great for removing foods from the grill. We cook out a lot throughout the spring and summer months, so these will definitely come in handy!

Olive Garden: Never Ending Pasta Bowl

*Disclaimer - I received a gift card from Olive Garden to post about their meal they have going on.

What time is it??? The never ending pasta bowl is BACK at Olive Garden!



I have always been a huge fan of Olive Garden and have worked with them a couple of times in the past year or so, and love their food so much. This time is no different. Of course, we get a lot for what we pay for as you get the never ending pasta bowl meal starting at only $9.99 at Olive Garden, which is an awesome deal for a family of 4 such as ours. We get our money's worth for sure, and our kids always enjoy the amazing breadsticks they have to offer. My absolute favorite soup that they have is called chicken gnochhi and it's the best one they have in my opinion. My favorite pasta that they have is of course the five cheese ziti, and if you've made baked ziti at home this is A LOT better than that for sure with the cheeses and sauces that they use. You definitely never leave the place hungry. I am always full after eating there. They do have some great selections of desserts to choose from too.

Everyone deserves a nice dinner and to eat without breaking your wallet, so head out and take your family to the amazing Olive Garden where you can enjoy a great meal of the never ending pasta bowl for price starting at only $9.99! You cannot beat that anywhere else! 

You maybe asking yourself, what pasta do they offer with this deal?

Stuffed Shells Recipe

I don't post many recipes, but this is one that I HAVE to share with you guys! It's an amazing meal that everyone should love.

Ingredients:
- ground sausage or hamburger
- spaghetti sauce
- jumbo shells
- ricotta cheese
- shredded mozerella cheese
- 1 egg

Instructions on how to make the amazing Stuffed Shells:

First, you will need to brown the ground sausage or hamburger, whichever you choose to use and then drain the grease from the meat and bring it back to the pan of course.


Next, you will need to cook the jumbo shells and then let it cool off for a little bit and then add the ingredients together in a bowl and spoon it into the shells and of course adding the sauce over it as well as shredded cheese to give it an extra cheesy flavor that everyone will love. 





Lastly, you will need to pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and place the pasta in a nice big pan, depending on how much you need to make. Then once the oven is done pre-heating, bake the stuffed shells for about 30 minutes and check it to be sure that it has cooked all the way.

ENJOY!!

*Disclaimer - I received a gift card from Olive Garden in order to facilitate this review for my readers. All opinions in this post are 100% honest and from myself and my sister.
Above is the menu for the $9.99 special of the Never Ending Pasta Bowl at Olive Garden. Yes, you heard that right; you can get more once you're done for NO extra cost for dinner.
As everyone knows, Olive Garden is well known for the awesome garlic breadsticks that they offer with any meal. These are some great garlic breadsticks, and I LOVE them! 
Both my sister and I decided to go with the awesome Chicken Gnocchi soup! This is the best soup I've had and I get it every time I go to Olive Garden for dinner. I highly recommend it.
The next and final portion of dinner is the amazing pastas! I decided to get the Penne with 3 Cheese Marinara, and let me tell you it's a GREAT choice of pasta. My sister decided to get the Corkscrew Pasta with Asaigo Garlic Alfredo. She said it tasted awesome and will get it again when she comes back to Olive Garden for dinner.
