The Best Wireless Unlimited Plan: A Month Later

June 16, 2013 by Camille Leave a Comment

Finding the best wireless unlimited plan for your family can be extremely overwhelming! As part of a Collective Bias Social Fabric shopper insight story, my family has been using Walmart Family Mobile's unlimited talk, text and data cell phone plan for the past month. We were hoping it would be the best wireless unlimited plan for our family! A month ago, in mid-May, I surprised my husband with an early Fathers Day gift. I upgraded his prepaid, non-smart Tracfone to an LG My Tough Smart Phone on Walmart Family Mobile's unlimited talk, text and data plan. We were really happy with our prepaid service and had been using it for about 4 years. But we really wanted to upgrade to a phone and a plan that was capable of data service and we hoped to do find that didn't break our budget! Obviously the phone itself was a major upgrade. One thing I was concerned about was having to pay a lot of money for a phone. With the Walmart Family Mobile plan you will need to purchase a ... [read more]

Pesto Shrimp Roll Sandwiches #SundaySupper

June 15, 2013 by Camille 31 Comments

Pesto shrimp roll sandwiches are my version of a poor man's lobster roll. Cooked shrimp is mixed with a pesto mayonnaise and served atop lettuce on a big crusty bun. The shrimp can be prepared a day or two before for easy entertaining or on the go meal. My husband has a deep love for lobster. We have a standing joke about what's for dinner - lobster! Every night! Our Sunday Supper theme this week is Fathers Day so I wanted to make something lobster-esque for my husband for his big day. It occurred to me that I could make a lobster roll but use shrimp instead of the lobster. It wouldn't be exactly the same, but shrimp is up there in his list of favorite foods so I knew it'd be close enough. I added the pesto at the last minute because I thought it'd taste delicious. It did! I served the shrimp salad on French bread because that's what my husband wanted, but I would have preferred a little less bread so a small bread roll or even a hot dog bun would ...

Lemon Cupcakes with Blackberry Frosting

June 14, 2013 by Camille 4 Comments

Lemon cupcakes are an easy summer dessert perfect for potlucks and picnics. I topped the lemon cupcakes with a blackberry frosting that is a cinch to pull together by adding blackberry preserves to a basic buttercream frosting. Don't worry if you have extra lemons - Good Cooks Citrus Keepers will keep it fresh in the fridge for the next batch of lemon cupcakes! I recently became a Good Cook Kitchen Expert, which means I will be sharing reviews and recipes on all types of fun Good Cook kitchen gadgets! The best part is that I get to give Good Cook products to YOU, too! The first Good Cook products I was sent to test out are Good Cooks vegetable and fruit keepers. I love these keepers and the thought that went in to which fruits and vegetables to provide keepers for. Like the Grapefruit Keeper that is perfect to save the other half for another morning! The Cantaloupe Keeper is great for all the summer melons that don't get eaten at the picnic. I always have parts ... [read more]
