Protect your kids

I just signed up my family's addresses through a free service provided by the State of Utah called the Utah Child Protection Registry. Like the do-not-call list, once an address has been registered,senders of messages that advertise prohibited products or services (like gambling, tobacco, pornography, and alcohol) are required to remove the contact points from their mailing lists within 30 days. (thanks Norman)

Jam with A KICK

We made some delicious peach jam last night and then added one tiny sliced habanero pepper to the batch. It was so yummy. My friend, Ellie, uses the jam over a block of cream cheese with crackers as an appetizer. You'll be surprised at the whole new flavor you will get from it.

Major Restaurant Discounts

This tip comes from Becky on a way to save big with restaurant gift cards. This is what she has to say about it: "I just used this to buy four $10 gift cards for restaurants in the area, and I paid $1.60 total for the 4 of them. Not bad!"
