Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. I share with you what’s happening with me – and I LOVE to hear about what’s happening with you.
Good morning! My coffee is hitting the spot this morning. I’m becoming entirely too caffeinated these days. What did mothers do before coffee? I shudder at the thought.
I’m thrilled to tell you about a new app called Favado. I’m just one of many, many bloggers from across the country working on this app, which launched today. I think you’re going to LOVE it. It compiles grocery store match-ups, nationwide, for you to access on your smart phone. It’s incredibly intuitive and easy to navigate. Learn more about the Favado app here.
As for Queen Bee match-ups they aren’t going anywhere – so don’t go off and leave me completely for this app, I’ll be so sad. Besides you know I love to sleuth out the unadvertised deals, so I’ll always have something good for you here. 😉 Sign up for a Favado account here, then head to the iTunes or Google Play stores to download the app. Login and you’re ready to go!

RECIPES, MEAL PLANNING, GROCERY STORE
Yesterday I shared a recipe for Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Beef that I think you are really, really going to like. It was a huge hit at our house. If you try it – let me know what you think!
I had some jarred pesto in the fridge yesterday so I decided to make up a crockpot recipe with chicken breast, pesto, a little cream cheese and chicken broth. I had visions of a creamy pesto chicken. It was an absolute disaster. I’ve had to toss three out of eight Crockpot recipes this week – not a very good record. But by vetting out the recipes that are so-so or just so, so bad, then we’re left the ones worth our time, right? The Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Beef is definitely worth your time.

Is there a way to use Favado on your mac computer instead of an iphone? We don’t have iphones because we’re trying to save money. * wink wink* 😉 But I would love to use the app.
Steph says
I don’t usually put chicken broth in crockpot chicken recipes unless I’m trying to make a soup. Raw chicken tends to create more than enough juices as it’s cooking in a slow cooker. So maybe try the pesto chicken again, but without broth? Because that does sound like it would be delicious!
Heather Clarke says
I was thinking I shouldn’t have added it. But the cream cheese didn’t play well with the oil in the pesto either. Sort of separated? So I might have to go back to the drawing board.
