You're short on time but you still need to eat. This smart oven and meal plan combo is here to save the day. The weekly menu options are always varied, the meals are so simple (little to no prep) and typically within 20 minutes you are enjoying a delicious dinner. With one bar code scan, the Tovala oven knows how to prepare every meal. It knows, by recipe, how to switch temperatures and settings to either bake, steam, broil or air fry. In addition to Tovala's meal offerings, you can scan bar codes from many other popular food brands for one-touch cooking, or use it as a regular/toaster oven. Right now, if you use code 08N4GEW1, you'll get a free Tovala Smart Oven (you just need to try six weeks of meals over six months). We've had ours for a few years; the meals are reasonably priced and their customer service is always solid.
Did you enjoy late 90s/early aughts teen TV shows? Then you'll love this book, "Freaks, Gleeks, and Dawson's Creek: How Seven Teen Shows Transformed Television." After you learn that "My So-Called Life" (rightfully) walked so that every other teen show could run, you'll enjoy reliving these glory days. The book delves into everything from casting decisions to on-set feuds and leaves you reminiscing about some of the greatest dialogue and scenes that changed TV as we know it.
Still not sick of butternut squash? Try the Barefoot Contessa's Roasted Butternut Squash Salad with Warm Cider Vinaigrette. This fall salad combines roasted butternut squash with dried cranberries, parmesan cheese and an amazing shallot/cider vinaigrette that you'll want to put on everything.
Time to try a new razor? For years, I've gone the lazy route and used the Venus razor that doesn't require shaving cream. While it's a perfectly good choice (and quite convenient for travel), it doesn't offer the closest shave. I recently tried the Billie razor and, I must admit, it's a solid choice. It has a curved handle, a comfortable grip and comes with a convenient magnetic holder for your shower wall. Most importantly, it provides a very close shave. And for the men (or those shopping for them this holiday season), check out Gillette's heated razor. I purchased it a few years ago for my husband and he's never looked back.
Battle dry and calloused feet? This Dr. Scholl's foot file can fix them for you for under $7. Unlike many other foot files, it can be used on dry feet. If you choose to use it on wet feet, it's waterproof, rustproof and easy to clean.
That's everything I have for you this week. Hope you have a great week ahead. If you enjoy my recommendations, please subscribe to receive them by email or share with a friend.
