Welcome Cat fans! Today is your day (week – see dates below), you have made it to the right blog at the right time.
If you are not a cat person – see ya tomorrow. Although maybe you’ve got a girlfriend, wife, neighbor, mother in law or special someone who is cat crazy and would love for you to win them this. It’s extra forest scented and all natural. Semi Organic; like me.
I have a great giveaway for my readers. I personally use this cat litter and highly recommend it. If you’re new to World’s Best Cat Litter integrate it slowly; for the cats sake. See http://www.worldsbestcatlitter.com/ for more information.

Cherry Pineapple smoothie

To make 3 medium smoothies

1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1 cup frozen mixed berries – with cherries
1 cup vanilla greek yogurt
small handful of ice
1-2 cups of orange juice
1 handful of fresh baby spinach
small quirt cherry berry mio

Combine all ingredients in a blender until smoothie consistency. Add a straw and enjoy!

The mio gives this smoothie its color and last minute flavor, the spinach gives it its healthiness factor & the orange juice adds to the pineapple tanginess. Great breakfast! Hopefully you’ve got a better blender than me – I can barely blend ice and all 10 buttons do the exact same thing – which is almost nothing!

All Natural Cornelius cat

Lets be real. Gross things in our house: the basement, cat litter, medical drawings of surgeries and more. Scratch that last one. Although those can be gross. Tony ahem. 

No but really... we have an adorable cat who makes un- adorable cat litter messes that is housed in our super gross basement. If there is one thing I can do for both it's use the litter we do. Worlds best cat litter. http://www.worldsbestcatlitter.com/

The newest scent in the worlds best cat litter line is forest scented! When I heard that and my first thought was NARNIA! We love our pine, forest, natural scented stuff here - especially in winter. #WhenisSpring? In our minds they all get classified as ‘narnia’ since that's what it'd be like to go through the wardrobe in the book. I imagine. Now Cornelius can imagine as well when he does his business. Oh boy. 

I love to use this cat litter in general since its natural for our baby (Cornelius) and the earth. It's a corn product rather than clay so it's gentle on his furry breathing and safe for everyone. Also it works better in my opinion than the regular stuff. I've used it for years and love it. 

Note: this photo is a total exaggeration.

This cat litter will not produce rays of clovers and trees. This is really how gross the basement is however.

On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give this new scent of the great product a 9.5 since the scent wasn't as strong as I thought it might be. Probably for the best since if I designed the product you'd smell it from a block away. And nobody wants that. I'll leave the hard work up to the worlds best cat litter guys and gals. 

I asked the cat what his thoughts were on the new litter I'd given him. All I got was a death stare and a "oh you want me to do tricks?" Up trick. I'll infer that he likes it. 

 

This new product has begun to ship to pet specialty stores (Independent pet stores plus Petco & PetSmart) and will be on shelves by April 1st.

Meals for the week – March 3rd

I must not only find the recipe I have saved (somewhere) for the bell pepper peanut slaw… I must post it! A great slaw for anyone who has never really been into traditional slaw. ie. me!

A well planned out dinner menu each week = easy cooking each night. Not too stressful, not too bad for you. That’s what we do. Happy eating!
