Head & Shoulders 2-in-1 Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner Old Spice

I am man enough to say that I like my Old Spice. I am pretty certain that my grandfather used to wear Old Spice as well but let me tell you…this is not your Grandpa’s Old Spice. My Old Spice is bold yet doesn’t takeover the room. It just smells rugged and manly. I like that about it. Today we are talking about Head & Shoulders 2-in-1 Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner Old Spice.

Now you can find things infused with the scent of Old Spice like my favorite shampoo. I say favorite because I use it the most. However, I don’t need Head & Shoulders every day so I do try out a few alternates every now and then. This is my dandruff shampoo review.

Back to that scent and some important scent advice that my wife gave me. She told me that if I really like the smell of something that I should layer the scent. Find it in a few different products that I use daily and then the scent will be around longer which is pretty much what I wanted. She is absolutely right. Now I just need Tide Old Spice so I can do the entire fam’s clothing.

Head & Shoulders

Head & Shoulders 2-in-1 Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner Old Spice is a dandruff shampoo made specifically for men to fight any dandruff issues that may arise. It is a gentle shampoo that can be used every day and will not damage hair. It can even be used on colored or chemically treated hair. It can be used on any hair type, including damaged, frail, or thin hair. This shampoo also helps to moisten the skin of the scalp, calm itchy and red scalps, and relieve irritation.

Proven effective

Head & Shoulders 2-in-1 Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner for Men Old Spice has been proven in over 200 clinical tests, meaning it is the most tested dandruff shampoo in the world. It guarantees that, if used properly, your hair will be 100% flake free. Based on a survey of United States dermatologists in 2013, Head & Shoulders is the number one recommended dandruff brand.

The clinical tests have also shown that people who use this shampoo get thicker looking and more hydrated hair. The Old Spice scent is designed for men for a more refreshing feeling. For the best results, this shampoo should be used every time you wash your hair. However, it will still be effective if used only two times per week. Because this is a medicated shampoo, you should be extra cautious to keep away from the eyes and mouth. Even if you don’t have any current scalp problems, this shampoo will promote a healthier scalp as well as hair.

Roasted Chicken Recipe

Be a pal & share with others:

Roasted Chicken Recipe

This roasted chicken recipe is very easy to make and tastes amazing every time. Chicken is one of the staples in our family because it is so versatile and a family favorite. We hope that you love this Roasted Chicken Recipe.

Roasted Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

1 full chicken, this one was about 4.5 pounds
a few mixed citrus fruits, I used 1 lemon and 2 clementines
mixed potatoes, I used Yukon, purple and red
½ cup worth of radishes
baby carrots
fresh thyme
2 tablespoons olive oil
2-4 cloves fresh garlic
sea salt, pepper
1 cup quality stock or broth

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Fully wash the vegetables, being sure to scrub the skins before cutting into uniformly sized pieces.
Remove anything in plastic or unwanted from the inside of the chicken, tie if needed and then place in the center of the oven safe pan on top of a bit of olive oil salt and pepper.
Add as many vegetables around the chicken as possible.
Drizzle the top of the chicken with the rest of the olive oil and then dust with a bit more pepper and sea salt.
Pour the chicken stock or broth into the bottom of the pan.
While the chicken is cold, form a piece of tinfoil over the top of the chicken and vegetables. Carefully remove and set aside-keep in mind this has now touched raw meat.
Place the chicken in the oven and cook for 20 minutes at 400 degrees, this will allow the chicken to brown on the outside. Then cover with your preformed tinfoil and cook at 375 for 25 minutes per pound.
The chicken is done when the inner meat, away from the bone reaches 165 degrees. Make sure all liquid running off the meat is clear. If it is tinted pink at all it is not done yet.
Allow the chicken to rest and cool for a few minutes before cutting into it.

We hope that you loved this Roasted Chicken Recipe.

French Inspired: Appetizers and Cocktails featuring Pinnacle® Original Vodka

Ever since my first visit to France many years ago, I have had a slight obsession with the country. My favorite thing to do was just to visit all of the little shops featuring all of my favorite things. The butcher, the cheese shops, the chocolatier and the bread; we truly loved them all and our goal was to bring back a little France with us. We are partnering with Pinnacle® Vodka to host an elegant French-themed party look. They even sent authentic serving pieces from France, traditional snacks and of course, French vodka. We hope that you find inspiration with this French Inspired: Appetizers and Cocktails featuring Pinnacle Vodka post.

About Pinnacle® Vodka

Pinnacle® Vodka is known for their exceptional quality. Created with the finest French ingredients and distilled five times in the Cognac region of France, you get an incredibly smooth and clean taste.

Pinnacle is truly the most perfect go-to Vodka for parties, special occasions or for everyday.

How to Host a Party Like the French

Short of trotting out some French poodles and getting an Eiffel Tower replica, we want to give you an idea of exactly what you need to host a French themed party without going too overboard.

Take it outside.

The French love to immerse themselves in the outside. A party is instantly elevated by the rustic look and feel of the outdoors.

Less is more.

If you look at parties the French throw, you will notice that place settings and tables are never overdone rather they revel in their simplicity. Keep your decor and the items on your table to a minimum.

Serve small bites.

The French love to nibble on hors d’oeuvres. Rather than having a heavy seated dinner, consider a charcuterie board, delicious French cheeses and fresh baguette breads. Add dips, fruit and nuts for a complete table.

Create a signature drink with Pinnacle® Original Vodka.

That is exactly what we did and our drink is amazing if we do say so ourselves. Check out the recipe below.

Watermelon Refresher Cocktail Recipe with Pinnacle® Original Vodka

Ingredients

3/4 cup cubed watermelon
1 lime
honey
1 1/2 parts Pinnacle® Original Vodka

Directions

Take the watermelon and muddle it well with a wedge of lime in a large glass.
Add about 1/2 teaspoon of honey (or more if you like it sweet).
Add 1 1/2 parts of Pinnacle® Original Vodka (the big side of jigger).
Add Ice and shake well.
Strain, garnish and drink.

What we love about Pinnacle® Original Vodka is that it is the ultimate combination of quality and value, making it our go-to vodka for everyday cocktails or special gatherings with our friends. Pinnacle® Original Vodka’s French heritage, award-winning quality and value make it the perfect go-to Vodka for everyday or

special occasions. We hope that you enjoyed our French Inspired: Appetizers and Cocktails featuring Pinnacle® Vodka post and are inspired to try your hand at French-entertaining. Visit Pinnaclevodka.com to find Pinnacle® Original Vodka near you.

How to Restore a Wood Cutting Board

Be a pal & share with others:

How to Restore a Wood Cutting Board

Now that things have settled from the holidays, we have a little more time to get caught up on things that were pushed aside. Dry, pale and some on the verge of cracking…cutting boards need a little love after working so hard through the holidays. As an avid cook, I need my tools in top shape, and that includes the surface of my cutting boards. It’s really pretty easy to get your boards looking good again. We hope that you enjoy this How to Restore a Wood Cutting Board post.

We used raw or cold pressed coconut oil to add life back into these boards. There are Now there are plenty of products sold to revitalize cutting boards, and many people just use olive oil. But specialty products can be pricey, and olive oil can go rancid. The quick, easy, and inexpensive solution is likely in your pantry right now; coconut oil. With its anti fungal and anti microbial properties you won’t have to be concerned with it growing bacteria or it going rancid as you would with olive and vegetable oils.

Start with clean, dry cutting boards. You can use the coconut oil right out of the container or create a block of it by freezing in an ice cube tray. It will freeze solid in about 20 minutes and then you can work it in like you are waxing a surfboard. Rub just enough coconut oil onto the board cover all of the surfaces, front, back, edges, and cutouts… Then wipe with a clean dry cloth to remove excess oil. Let sit for a few hours before using to ensure the oil has time to get into the wood to really condition it. You really want the coconut oil to penetrate into the wood. You may need to repeat these steps a few times depending on their condition.

If you are thinking of replacing your cutting boards, check out this Freshware Bamboo Cutting Board set. You get three different sized cutting boards, which is pretty convenient, and they are a reasonably priced. Best of all, they are not made of plastic or (worse) glass….pro tip…use wood boards, not plastic, not glass. We hope that you enjoyed this How to Restore a Wood Cutting Board post. Happy cooking!

I spend a lot of time making certain that the recipes we choose appeal to all of the people that live in our home including my mother-in-law. My wife keeps oatmeal in the fridge at all times so she has a quick snack. Our kids really love oatmeal as well so whatever I make never lasts for long. We also have tried several different oatmeals.

Slow cooker ginger peach pork recipe

Slow Cooker Ginger Peach Pork Recipe

If the show This is Us did NOT cause you to throw away your crockpot, then we have an amazing recipe for you. By the way, we will accept all Slow Cooker donations in this because seriously…the Crock Pot rocks. We love it and use it just as much as our Instant Pot. While both appliances have their virtues, there are just times that using a slow cooker is exactly what you need. I am particularly fond of Crockpot cooking because you can easily adjust your recipe at any time by adding more spices, water, wine, etc. The flexibility of slow cooker recipes means that I can change and adapt the recipe to fit my life. I might add a little more spice if it’s just the wife and I because we love spicier food. I can add more fruit because that is what our kids love. We hope that you love this Slow Cooker Ginger Peach Pork Recipe.

1 lb pork, fat removed and cut into 1” chunks
1 c peach slices, cut into bite size pieces

From our Quick Apple Pull Apart Bread to our Rolled Maple Cinnamon rolls. We are definitely lovers of breads and pastries in this home. You could say that there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for a freshly made pastry. Well within reason, of course. Our middle child is the same way as she loves any and all kinds of bread. We bake a lot around here and our 1968 oven definitely gets a workout some weeks; even more so during the holidays when we make some fun gifts for teachers and friends. Also I really need to brag because pretty much everyone in the house loves baking and we are all pretty good at it. We are always on the lookout for fun, new recipes and this delicious breakfast bed does not disappoint. We hope that you enjoy this Blueberry cranberry bread recipe.

Pork loin rotisserie recipe

Be a pal & share with others:

Pork loin rotisserie recipe

I love pork and I love creating recipes that utilize pork. It truly is a utilitarian meat because it works so well in many different ways. Think about it. Pork works with so many flavor profiles. BBQ? BBQ ribs? Not a problem. Or maybe you are looking for a nice, juicy cut that features herbs? Maybe earthy flavors are your thing? How about spicy? Sweet? It doesn’t matter, pork does it all, and it does it well. I mean, can you even imagine a world without bacon? I shudder at the thought (must go to my happy space). One of my favorite ways to enjoy pork is this recipe right here. Tender pork loin is marinated in honey and fresh thyme, and the cooked rotisserie style with a grill. It truly is to die for…well, don’t actually do that. But it is quite good. We hope that you love this Pork loin rotisserie recipe.

Pork loin rotisserie recipe

Ingredients

Two pork loins
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon raw honey
1-2 teaspoons thyme
sea salt and pepper to preference

Directions

The night before planning to cook this I like to marinade the loins in a mixture of the honey, olive oil, thyme, sea salt and pepper.
When ready to cook, heat the grill to about 425 degrees or medium heat. Carefully place the pork loins in the rotisserie basket and turn on. Cook until the meat hits 145 to 160 degrees, you can decide what the best fit is for you. (USDA recommends 160 degrees though most chefs note 145 is ideal for a fully cooked and moist pork loin).
Very carefully remove from the grill and basket, lightly cover with tin foil and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
The honey caramelizes and you get a tinge of sweet and savory at the same time, perfect year round dish! We enjoyed this with steamed broccoli and sautéed summer squash.

We hope that you love this Pork loin rotisserie recipe. Bon apetit!

Instant Pot white bean chicken chili recipe

Be a pal & share with others:

Instant Pot White Bean Chicken Chili

Chili is one of our favorite winter meals and in fact, we tend to make a lot of thick, hearty soups around here because they are pretty easy and come together quickly. The kids love soup and so does my mother in law. I love that I can make extra and keep it in the fridge for snacks or last minute dinners. Sometimes the kids even heat up the soup and take it for lunch. I can make fresh bread and serve it with the chili as well or just grab some of our favorite Sister Schuberts rolls. The beauty of the Instant Pot is how quickly you can make absolutely anything. While I still love my crockpot, our slow cooker days of the winter might be coming to end because of the quickness and versatility of the InstantPot. We hope that you love our Instant Pot White Bean Chicken Chili Recipe.

1.5 lb chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
5 cups chicken broth
