I have three words for you: Easiest.Recipe.Ever. For just about $12, you can put a delicious home cooked meal on your table that will take you less than an hour. I promise I am not screwing around, this Roasted Sauerkraut Pork Loin is so easy and there will literally be no leftovers. So make 2 if you want some for the next day. My sister has been making this for years and it’s the go-to meal when we really don’t feel like cooking. Whip up some mashed potatoes (or faux mashed, if you are watching the lbs) and some red…

Apothecary Extracts 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil

Posted by Amanda in February

Disclaimer: I was given a sample of this Tea Tree Oil for review and giveaway purposes only. All thoughts and opinions are my own! You may be thinking, what the heck is tea tree oil? For a few weeks now I have had my eye on this extremely resourceful essential oil. There has been buzz going around how essential oils can help us with natural cures and uses. So, I was pretty excited when asked to review Apothecary Extracts 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil. Dating back to the aboriginals in Australia, tea tree oil has been used as a…

{Kid Approved} Jennie-O Deli Turkey Skewers

Posted by Amanda in February, Recipes

My husband got the wild idea of having a Super Bowl party…..the day before the Super Bowl. Wasn’t that sweet of him? So of course the party planning was on my shoulders while he confirmed guests. I wanted to do some bites that wouldn’t be too much effort and still be delicious. I decided to whip up some appetizers that we could just pop in our mouth while watching the game. I have always been wanting to make some kind of toothpick skewered appetizer and vowed the next time we had guests, I’d do it. I had some Jennie-O Deli Turkey…

Purex PowerShot Detergent – Flip.Dose.Done!

Posted by Amanda in February

Disclaimer: I have received this product for review and giveaway purposes only. All thoughts and opinions are my own, as always. I have had a lot of mishaps in the laundry room than one woman should in a lifetime. Shall I recall the Diaper Fiasco of 2012? So to say I was ecstatic when I was chosen to review the newest Purex product is an understatement. Recently, I had noticed that when I hang my clothes to dry in my laundry room, certain items had drips and drops of detergent on the tops of the shoulders and neckline. This had…

Breakfast for 2: Hash Brown Egg Muffins

Posted by Amanda in February, Recipes

Breakfast may be one of my favorite meals to eat. I love eggs, bacon, hash browns, fruit, waffles, pancakes – I could go on for days. Thing is, I typically do NOT like to cook it. I don’t know why, but I just don’t. So it was a bit of a shock to both my husband and I when I decided to surprised him with Hash Brown Egg Muffins the other morning. I’m pretty sure he thought he was still drunk from the night before and dreaming of this but I reassured him hell had indeed frozen over and I made a…

The Love Yourself Movement #MTMEShop

Posted by Amanda in February

Here at The Anti Mom Blog, I am always preaching about parent’s – especially moms – making time for themselves. Whether it’s an hour or just 5 minutes, a little “me” time goes a long way. After I put the girls to bed, I typically go enjoy a nice, hot, LONG shower then watch an episode of The Real Housewives of whatever or another guilty pleasure T.V. show. Go ahead, judge away, but you know you can’t resist all that drama either! So, I was extremely excited when Fatima over at Motherhood Through My Eyes contacted be about being apart of The…

Bouchon-Inspired Herb Goat Cheese Salad

Posted by Amanda in February, Recipes

On a recent trip to Napa, after spending the morning winery hopping, we headed for a light lunch at Bouchon Bistro. This is one of Thomas Keller’s phenomenal restaurants in the Napa area (His others are Ad Hoc, The French Laundry & Bouchon Bakery) and the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious and memorable meal. We devoured some in-house made bread from the Bouchon Bakery next door and a gigantic seafood tower full of clams, oysters, shrimp, lobster & mussels. Next came out the most deliciously simple warm herb goat cheese salad I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying! The…
