From HarperCollins.com

From Lulu Powers, one of Los Angeles’s premier caterers and event planners, comes a lively, lushly photographed, full-color cookbook featuring 175 recipes and inspired party-planning tips. Lulu Powers Food to Flowers offers simple, stylish food for easy entertaining—invaluable steps to the perfect party or gathering, from a Coffee and Newspaper Party to a Retro Game Night to a Big City Cocktail Party.

My Review

Lulu Powers Food To Flowers  is a party planning "bible", outlining practically everything you need to plan, prepare, and execute parties, events, and celebrations, big and small.  In this book, she covers Party Budgets, Hiring Help, Emergency Snacks, Menus, Lighting, Invitations, Step-by-Step tutorials on what to do in the weeks, days, and hours before the party, and much, much more.  I like her attention to every little detail, breaking things down to make having a party seem so much more manageable.  There are cute ideas for table settings, Party Favors, and Games, as well as dozens of her best, most crowd-pleasing recipes for foods and drinks, most of which can be prepared ahead of time, so you can relax and enjoy your guests.  Some of my favorite recipes in this book are:

Fruit Salad with Herb, Citrus, or Mint-Maple Syrup

Alex's Cinnamon Scones with Cinnamon Clotted Cream

Vegetable Herb Frittata

Chocolate Banana Bread

Escarole and Mesclun Salad with Edamame, Mint, and Pecorino

Nantucket Apple Squares

Mini Wild Mushroom Risotto Cakes

Whether you're planning a child's birthday party, a fancy business dinner, a baby shower, or a simple backyard barbecue, Lulu Powers Food To Flowers can make the whole experience easier, and even more fun!

~CLOSED~ Teddy's Pride Oral Care Probiotic for Pets

"Teddy’s Pride™ Oral Care is the very first probiotics for oral care for all cats and dogs that freshens breath naturally while gently and naturally whitening teeth.

Teddy’s Pride is both simple and affordable. For just pennies a day, you’ll get a 60-day supply, and with that very first jar, you’ll notice fresher breath and whiter cleaner teeth. You can enjoy this product risk free with our 100% 30-day money-back guarantee.

Even the most finicky pets can enjoy the benefits of Teddy’s Pride™ Oral Care, because this probiotic blend has no taste and no odor and it will not change the taste or texture of your pets’ favorite food. Your pet will get all the benefits of naturally fresher breath and whiter teeth with no messy brushing!

Teddy’s Pride™ Oral Care is 100% natural and made in the USA in a Certified FDA facility, ensuring both the highest quality ingredients and complete integrity. Teddy’s Pride™ Oral Care is also backed by 25 years of scientific research by Oragenics’ Chief Scientific officer, Dr. Jeffrey Hillman, D.M.D., Ph.D. "

Our dog, Louie is 13 years old, has never been very cooperative when we try to brush his teeth, and his breath is not pleasant.  I can actually smell it from across the room, when he licks or chews himself or yawns (yes, it's that bad!)  He won't eat the crunchy dog biscuits that are supposed to help clean his teeth, and we've tried just about every "doggie bad breath" product, including dental-aid chew toys, "breath mints", and even a liquid to add to his water bowl.  None of these products made one bit of difference.  To make things worse, Louie has a problem with an uneven bite that has caused some of his teeth to break, making it even more difficult to keep them clean, AND (as if that weren't enough) he also has allergies that make his breath worse, and cause him to lick and chew on himself a lot. 

When Cara at Teddy’s Pride™ offered me the opportunity to try their product, I was happy to oblige, but to be truthful, I wasn't sure anything would help Louie's bad breath.   I was however intrigued by the probiotics contained in the product, as I've read a lot about their health benefits, and have had good results from using them myself to help with my "tummy issues".

We began using Teddy’s Pride™ powder on Louie's food every day.   It was very easy to use, and took only a few seconds to sprinkle a scoopful over his food.   He didn't seem to notice it, and ate normally.  

We didn't notice a change in Louie's breath right away, but after a few weeks, there was some improvement.  In a few more weeks (after we had used about half the jar) we were convinced.   There was finally a product that worked on Louie's stinky breath!   I was so happy, because I am the one with the sensitive nose at our house (I'm convinced this is because my husband and our [male] dog are the smell-makers! Just sayin'...)

Something else that we've noticed since using Teddy’s Pride™ is that Louie seems to have more energy, and is more playful.   I don't know if that's just a coincidence, but whatever the reason, our old dog seems a bit younger these days, and we'll be giving him Teddy’s Pride™  from now on, to keep things smelling a bit nicer, and maybe even make Louie feel a little bit better.  

Teddy’s Pride™ can be purchased at http://www.teddyspride.com/. 

Thanks to Cara and Teddy’s Pride™, I have a 60-day Supply of Teddy’s Pride™ to Giveaway.
