Creamy Fruit Salad

We made a bowl of fruit salad the other day, it was yummy!  In the Philippines, I used to use Nestle cream in a can and  condensed milk but in here, I have different ingredients.  The recipe is below:

• 1 cream cheese
• 1 tab of  cool whip
• 2 cans of  tropical fruit cocktail (with papaya and pineapple)
• 2 cans of  American fruit cocktail (with peaches, cherry, pear, and  grapes.
• 1 can of mandarin oranges.   

Direction:

• Open the can of  fruits and drain thoroughly.
• Combine the  cool whip and cream cheese.  
• Add the  drained  fruits to the  cream mixture.  
• Chill for about an hour.  

How do you prepare your fruit salad?

The Better Way to Buy Eyewear

Before I renewed my driver's license, I planned to visit the eye doctor to get a new pair of eyeglasses but  I never get to do that as  my schedule did not permit  me.   I still have my old  eye glasses  which  gives me  migraine whenever  I   wear it for a long period of time.  That's one reason why I seldom wear it, I only wear it   when I have to go somewhere and it requires me to see better in far  distance.  Anyway, I was looking at the selection of eyeglasses at Coastal.com and found two  designs that I really liked.  The first one is the Armani Exchange Havana Violet which is on sale for $99.99 and the second one is a Vera Wang 176 v Tabac which is  $148.

Coastal.com also carries contact lenses and sun glasses.  Their website is very easy to navigate and the selection is huge.  I am thinking of getting me a pair since they are offering a pair for FREE for first time  customers.  What I like about their website is that, it's not too complicated to  order one unlike other website which  I  find very  complicated.  They have   uploaded images  that you can take a look at how the  specific eyewear that you want  looks like when  being worn.  They also have videos that  illustrates  how to order  the right fit, style, and frame  for your eyes.  I think that  Coastal .com is a better way to buy eyewear as they have  a step by step guide at their website.

Yummy Baked Eggplant

I  bought an Italian eggplant  a couple of days ago at Walmart and I was planning to  fry it but then I changed my mind.  I thought  of  experimenting in the kitchen so I chopped the eggplant,  sauteed some ground beef and I have a left over longanissa (Filipino sausage links).  I layered them in a pan.. sauteed ground beef,  chopped  eggplant,  longanisa, more ground beef and then  I topped it off with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

I baked it for thirty minutes and it was yummy!

Wraptastic

I would like to thank Hampton Direct for sending me two products to review, first is the WaxVac that I posted at  my iShoppe blog then the other one is the Wraptastic below.   I love this kitchen wrap dispenser because it is  very fast and easy to use when it comes to  cutting your  plastic wrap, or aluminum foil.  I am planning to  buy two more of this because I want each of my kitchen wraps to have a dispenser.  I also love the fact that the size of the dispenser is perfect to store inside the kitchen drawer.  

Even my husband said "This dispenser rocks!"

The price is so affordable especially if you get it now.  It only cost $10.99 for their special price plus you will get an additional one for FREE, all you have to do is to pay the shipping and handling for the extra one.  I  highly recommend this  Wraptastic dispenser, it's very effective, you just need to  pull, press, and wrap!

Talenti Gelato and Sorbetto

I received three free coupons of Talenti Gelato and Sorbetto for  review.   A pint of this  ice cream cost $4.79 at Walmart which I think Is a bit high for an ice cream but, if you taste it, you would say "It's worth money you paid for!"

I am not really into ice cream but I liked their Caribbean Coconut, my daughter loved it!  My husband thought that the Caribbean Coconut is too sweet which I find very unlikely of him because he has a sweet tooth.  However, he liked the Sea Salt Caramel one.  I was looking for the pistachio flavored one but it wasn't available at the store.

So if you are looking for a  a good  ice cream to serve when you are entertaining guests, I highly recommend Talenti Gelato & Sorbeto.  It cost a little more but it is truly good!
