Winner of the Funky Chunks Giveaway

p11600031 I’ve been using Funky Chunks fabulous handmade soaps all week and let me tell you, I am feeling like one very spoiled girl. But, hey I’m worth it. My kids are absolutely in love with “Sweets At the Beach” shocking I know. It smells just like Cotton Candy. My favorite is “Jersey Love.” I don’t know how they did it, but the soap smells like fresh Tomatoes, more like the foliage than the tomato I think, but so unique and really lovely. Another favorite of mine is Jersey Devil. All the soaps leave you smelling delicious and so smooth.

Grilled Shrimp with Poblano Polenta and Red Pepper Sauce

Grilled Shrimp with Poblano Polenta This recipe came from an Ad for McCormick Gourmet Collection seasonings in Bonappetit magazine. Before you turn up your nose at a recipe in an advertisement, let me be the first to testify. Some of my best recipes have come from ads or off the side of a box. The Orzo with Basil, Tomato and Feta that I make all the time and is a favorite of all my friends came from the side of a Ronzoni box. The Parmesan Chicken I make for my kids all the time I discovered on the label of Hellmann’s Mayonnaise. So, don’t assume the recipes offered by your favorite products are sub par. Give them a try, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
