Ragú® Sauce Master #NewTraDish Sample & Share with Crowdtap

I married an Italian man. For the last 15 years my life has been about Italian food. I've mastered the pastas and the sauces, the meats and the sides. Although delicious, A lot of our family favorites are time-consuming and expensive to make. Another issue with repeat menu items is burnout. My family just get sick of the same old meals dinner after dinner. That's why I was so excited to be selected as a member of the Ragu sauce masters to receive a free jar of Ragu traditional sauce to create a new dish for my family to love. A #NewTraDish if you will!

After selecting a jar of traditional Ragu sauce, I decided to make no-boil beefy baked ziti. I had all the ingredients on hand as they are staples in my "Italian" kitchen. One of my favorite aspects of this meal was not having to boil the ziti pasta ahead of time. That saves about 20 minutes on the preparation.

My family loves a simple Pasta dish and this fit the bill. Once I browned the meat and folded in the Ragu sauce and cheese all I needed to do was add the raw ziti and dump it all into a casserole dish. I covered the dish with foil and baked. Voila! Dinner was ready in under an hour. I served it with garlic bread and salad. The flavors were robust, natural and authentic! Everyone licked their dishes clean. Thank you Crowdtap and Ragu for bringing a new tradition to our household.

Colgate Optic White Toothbrush & Whitening Pen

Whiter teeth, anyone?  I love it when my teeth shine and that's why I was jazzed to try Colgate's Optic White Toothbrush and Whitening Pen!  I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. 

Whitening my teeth has only gotten easier over the years: trays, gels, strips and now....pens! Colgate makes it even easier by storing the whitening pen in the Optic White Toothbrush!

Brush. Whiten. Go. Brush with Colgates Optic White Toothbrush and paste. The paste is minty and the well-designed brush clean thoroughly. Then apply the whitening gel directly to clean teeth with the pen. No waiting, no rinsing. When your done, store the pen right inside your toothbrush.  Know where it is, remember to use it! Within two days I could see it working. Within a week, my teeth were significantly whiter! Can you tell??? It'sColgate Optic White: Paste, Toothbrush and Whitening Pen. Amazing! Thanks -Influenster!
