Torani Syrups Help Make Holidays Even Better!

I was one of the lucky SheSpeaks members to get two free bottles of Torani syrup to review. I received a package that contained a bottle of Torani Sugar Free Salted Caramel and Torani Regular Gingerbread Syrups. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors that I was sent. These two both sounded very appealing to me. I like to compare things that are regular and sugar free due to my family members that are diabetic. I like to keep a variety of products that everyone in the household can use. Torani offers over 120 syrups including many that are available in the Sugar Free variety.



I absolutely love to try to things in my coffee, So of course I used both of these syrups as an additive to my coffee. I like both regular coffee and iced coffee. The first flavor I used was the Sugar Free Salted Caramel. I made a Skinny Salted Caramel Iced Coffee from a recipe that I found on Torani's website. Here is the recipe.

Skinny Salted Caramel Iced Coffee
2 TBS of Torani Salted Caramel Syrup
1 Cup of Nonfat Milk
2 Shots of Chilled Espresso or 1/2 Cup of Strong Brewed Coffee

Pour the ingredients over ice and stir.

This is such a simple recipe and the taste is absolutely exquisite. I fell in love with it!

Next I tried the Torani Gingerbread Syrup in another recipe that I found on Torani's website. Gingerbread Brewed Coffee is the recipe that I chose because I wanted to try this in hot coffee. The syrup sets the hot coffee over the top and it only has two ingredients. Here is the recipe.
Gingerbread Brewed Coffee
2 TBS of Torani Gingerbread Syrup
1 Cup of Dark Brewed Coffee

In a glass or mug add the syrup to the coffee and stir. Then add milk or cream to taste.

And again this is so easy and so tasteful. This is one that hot coffee lovers are sure to enjoy. I also love that Torani has such a variety of recipes on their site. There truly is a syrup and a recipe for everyone. I suggest you take a look at their wonderful creations and use it during this holiday season. You can add any of them to a dessert or drink and just enjoy a little something special. Here is a great recipe that I am excited to showcase at my next family dinner: Tiramisu Cheesecake.



Tiramisu Cheesecake
Cheesecake:
1/2 Cup of Torani Tiramisu Syrup
8 oz. Package of Cream Cheese, Softened
1/3 Cup of Sour Cream
2 Large Eggs
1 Prepared Graham Cracker Crust
Topping:
4 TBS of Torani Tiramisu Syrup
1/2 Cup of Sour Cream
1/2 Cup of Chilled Whipping Cream
Cocoa Powder for Dusting

Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees. Beat the cream cheese until soft. Add the Tiramisu syrup and sour cream. Mix well. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until smooth. Pour into the prepared pie crust and bake for 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool for 10 minutes. Whisk the sour cream and 2 TBS of the Tiramisu syrup for the topping together. Spread over the cheesecake and then chill overnight. Just before you serve it dust the top with the cocoa powder. Then whip the cream to soft peaks with the other 2 TBS of Tiramisu syrup. With a pastry bag and star tip pipe the whipped cream around the edge of the cheesecake. Cut and serve.

This is a pretty simple recipe and it looks absolutely delightful. Like I said Torani has many different flavors that you can easily incorporate into anything. These are great flavorful additions and they have awesome Sugar Free options! They are always adding new flavors to their collection of fine syrups. Be on the lookout for new recipes on their website also. There is a coupon available right now too that you can print for $1.00 off. Please click here: Save Now!

Have You Heard of Pink Zebra Home?







I am actually an independent sales consultant for Pink Zebra Home. I joined in them in February when a friend of mine introduced me to the opportunity. If you haven't checked them out, you really should. First of all let me tell you that this company is a little over a year old and was started by Tom & Kelly Gaines. They have been in the industry for over 20 years. They are dedicated to this company. I actually joined the business because I fell in love with a sample that my friend Jennifer Prudhom had given me. She gave me a little scent bag that had Spiced Vanilla Sprinkles in it. I was interested in joining, but this sold me. I had taken the sample it thrown it on our entertainment center. When my husband James walked in he asked me what he was smelling. He hates the smell of vanilla, but absolutely fell in love with this scent. Well after a month that little scent sample still smelled just as good as the first day I had received it. I was hooked. We got our tax return back and I paid for my kit. I've had a slower start because of family problems that happened this summer. I can tell you the consultants that I have met are awesome. I am trying to get busy and increase my business, but I can tell you that I'm not writing this to try to get you to sign up. I am writing this for the simple fact that I am in love with Pink Zebra.

Another reason I joined was their charity HEROES. They are devoted to donating day care days to single parents. This hits home for me as both of my sisters, Melissa and Shannon, are single parents. I love the fact that the applicant has to be trying to better themselves by attending school or working. It can't be someone that just sits at home drawing welfare. If that comment offends you, sorry but I am blunt. I know too many people that do this, especially in the area that I live. There's nothing wrong with asking for help, but many people can make their situation better, some just don't attempt it. But back to the subject at hand. When a consultant hosts a party and sales are $500+ Pink Zebra donates a day of day care to a single parent. Their goal is to donate one million days in the next ten years. I am trying to help with my part.

This company has a lot to offer. All the products are made in the United States. The soy is bought from local farmers in Kentucky. The manufacturing factory is in Berea, Kentucky. This is another reason why I am a PZ fan. We need to support companies in the US. It's rare to find them these days. The soy in the product not only burn longer, but they are also a lot safer for your family. Their are currently  49 scents available in their patent pending Sprinkles. I have to tell you that these are a lot easier to handle because you can pour in how much you want in a simmer pot to suit your scent preference. You can also mix and match them to make new creations. Also they are easy to change because if you place the bowl in the freezer the used wax will pop out with no effort whatsoever. You can then save it to reuse or throw it away. These scents last so long though you will probably be saving them to reuse.

Right now I am in love with the new fall scents. Pumpkin Bread and Peppermint Patty are my favorites. I also love their spa scents. There really is a scent for everyone. The company also has Reed Diffusers, Candles, Lotion and Hand Soap, and a nice variety of simmer pots. So that just covers the bases. There is so much that I could say about the company and the products, but I'm going to stop for now and post more information later. I am thinking about starting to host a monthly giveaway on my blog or on my Facebook Page. If you are interested in more information on anything in this post please feel free to contact me. My pone number is 405-220-5224, you can text or call me anytime, but I need to warn you that I have bad reception so it is easier to text or email. My email address is tgoforth1984@yahoo.com. You can also contact me through my PZ page. If my page is down for maintenance please email me if you have any questions. If you would like to request a catalog or samples, feel free to ask. I will truthfully answer anything, as I mentioned before I am very blunt!

Crowdtap, a Fun Way to Earn Giftcards

I've been doing research and trying to find some ways to earn extra money and just have a little fun online. I do a lot of research and I love the sites I belong too. Today I did an internet search and stumbled onto Crowdtap. I of course joined because it is free, but I also like that they donate money to charities too. For all the activities that I complete on their site, they help out a cause or causes of your choice.
Girls125x125


When you sign up you will automatically get to start earning points. I just started about an hour ago and I already have 2750 points and have 54 stars. You just answer little polls they have called Quick Hits. You will also be able to participate in discussions and possibly get into missions and activities. I am already involved in three and as I said, I just started today. I get to host a party to view the premiere of Russell Brand's Brand X. Then I can just come back and tell them about what we did and how the guests liked it.  I am also involved in a Do-It-Yourself Home Project Mission, I get to record a video of a project I did and earn points for it. We'll talk about points and what you can earn in a little bit. You will be mailed products for you to review possibly too. You get to pick what activities you complete and turn down what you don't. Tonight I turned a project down that was to carve an AT&T themed pumpkin. It just didn't appeal to me. 

Generic125x125Now onto the point. Here are just a few examples of what you can redeem for. You can get a $25 Amazon Gift Card for 50,000 points. They have charity donations you can choose. They also have a Crowdtap T-Shirt for 25,000 points. Another Gift card choice is a $50 Artsicle gift card for 20,000 points. I mentioned the Amazon Gift Card first because that is a very popular retailer.Christmas is right around the corner and who couldn't use a little extra help for gifts. So this is another FREE opportunity to help with the holidays. Again, what do you have to lose? This is a 100% free program. Join today by clicking on one of the banners in this post.

I'm Back.....

As you can tell I haven't updated my blog in a while. I'm back and ready to go now. I will be vamping up this blog with many new things. Get ready to here about deals, coupons, freebies, crafts, and many more things. Life has been busy, what more can I really say. I was working as the manager of a convenience store and worked there for two and a half year. With doing that I started to lose my identity and became a workaholic. I missed out on life. I finally got fed up and quit. So I am now working from home yet again. So I am looking into new opportunities. I have already found a few. This blog will have many fun things. Don't be surprised in what I round up for you.
