Atlanta's Great

Contribution by Saul Martin

My parents live in Atlanta and it’s a great place to go down and visit. There’s so much to do there for the kids from the World of Coke to the Aquarium and they just like walking around in the city with all the big buildings. It doesn’t take much to make them happy! Anyway, I went to http://www.atlantahomesecurity.com/ before I came down last time because my husband had showed me a few articles from the paper talking about how their neighborhood was having some break ins and it got me spooked. Anyway, I hope they never move since it’s such a great place to go down to and they seem really happy there and that’s all you ever really want for your parents anyway, you know? I try to be a good daughter and they make it easy for me to want to visit when they live in a cool city – it’s much better than my husband’s parents who live all the way out in Kansas!

Evora Plus Review and Giveaway!!

EvoraPlus is New and Improved!! For those of you who missed my review from last summer of Evora Plus........I'll let you know a little about this fantastic product AND about what they have changed for the better!!

EvoraPlus is the first ever probiotic whitening system to be offered on the market. Not only does it whiten your teeth....it promotes optimal gum and teeth health....as well as improving your breath!! When placed on your tongue, the freeze dried probiotics are melted and they affix themselves to your teeth AND below the gum line.....helping to rid you of the harmful bacteria in your mouth, while leaving the good bacteria alone. 

I have used both versions of Evora Plus. The first version you had to take twice a day and it was pushed out of a little foil wrapper....like gum. This new version is mintier and more powerful. It only needs to be taken once a day. It is also in a more convenient and eco-friendly (bottled) package. 

For my part, I can tell you that I totally believe in the power of this little probiotic mint. I used it for the first time last summer, beginning two weeks before a wedding I was to attend and by the time of the wedding my teeth has whitened several shades. This new version is much more easy to use and just as effective....I totally recommend it if you are looking for a natural and HEALTHY way to whiten your teeth!! 

For all my readers Evora Plus has decided to offer this great coupon code for $5 off an order on their site HERE (Good Until August 31st, 2011) . Here is the code you'll type in a checkout: EPLUS811

A Birthday Chocolate Fondue

Don't forget to link up to my Marvelous Mess party....each week I pick a new post to feature on my sidebar!!!!

For my Sisters birthday I made (instead of the usual cake) a Chocolate Fondue. For dipping we had strawberries, apples, bananas, cheesecake, and raspberries (with little chocolate chips inside them).

This is such a fun dessert and a great way to shake things up at a birthday party!!

Seriously. Awesome.

The chocolate chip raspberries came from an idea off the site Saucy's Sprinkles:

These were a big hit with Munchkin, who got to place most of the chips in the raspberries.....one for the raspberry.....and one for me.......

This dessert ended up being much better for you (in terms of fat and calories) because you only need a small amount of Chocolate fondue to make your fruit taste decadent.

Here is my Quick Chocolate Fondu Recipe:

Strawberries (rinsed and dried)

Rasperries (rinsed and dried)

Bananas (diced)

Apples (rinsed and medium thickness pieces)

Pre-made Cheesecake

1 12oz bag of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

8oz Heavy Cream

~Prepare fruit and place on platter just before you serve. Dice cheesecake and place on platter.

~In a double boiler on medium heat, pour in the heavy cream and cook until little bubbles begin to appear.

~Add all the Chocolate chips to the cream and let them melt.Whisk to mix them completely (you want the fondue to be entirely smooth).

~Immediately add mixture to a fondue pot and keep heated. If the fondue starts to get firm, add a tablespoon of the cream to help it thin out and whisk it again.

*I bought my cheesecake in the frozen food section (it may have been a Betty Crocker brand?) .....and I was pretty disappointed with it. It was NOT a good Cheesecake for Fondue......it was way too loose and crumbly. And Melt-y.....in my book, cheesecake should never *melt*. I recommend buying one from the bakery section of the grocery (or make your own) instead.*

*To go with the fondue, we had some Moscato d'Asti wine....the perfect dessert wine for Fondue*
