If you’ve read any of my previous pots about the company EatSmart and their products, then you know I’m a huge fan. Not in a stalker-ish way, but pretty stinking close. The scales they produce have always exceeded my expectations. I never have any doubts in the accuracy or durability of an EatSmart product.

I’m happy to announce that EatSmart has once again offered up a great set of scales for one my fortunate readers. (I got tired of saying lucky.)  So one of you amazing people will soon be the proud owner of an EatSmart Digital Bathroom Scale AND an EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale! Too cool for words my friends… too cool for words.

Enter by midnight tonight to get your chance at winning this awesome prize!

If anyone can tell you a little somethin’-somethin’ about the low-carb lifestyle, it’s Jimmy Moore. His amazing success on the Atkins plan has given him not only a whole new lease on life, but a new career as well! Jimmy spends his days blogging, podcasting, youtube-ing and writing about all things low-carb. Just watching all he does wears me out. But he’s a man driven by a purpose – to help others learn.

In his latest book, 21 Life Lessons, Jimmy takes the time to share a variety of great information. You’ll learn why cholesterol numbers aren’t as important as you may think. You’ll read about how you can attain amazing health benefits through a low-carb lifestyle. You’ll also learn from his personal experiences in regards to living this lifestyle, as well as putting yourself on the internet for all to see, and sometimes attack. Jimmy has seen his fair share of ridicule and hatred while working to spread the message of low-carb living. Recent studies, nutrition, disease prevention… it’s all here in 21 Life Lessons from Livin’ La Vida Low Carb. The last chapter was the hardest for me to read. You get a glimpse of Jimmy’s difficult childhood, as well as the pain of seeing his brother tragically, and and unnecessarily, pass away.

I applaud Mr. Moore for laying it all out on the line, in front of everyone who will pay attention, with the hopes of making a difference. Well done Jimmy. Well done.

A slow cooker is a thing of beauty. A veritable gift from Heaven. As a member of the lazy cooks association (a group I made up I might add), I love the whole dump-n-go method. And while not all recipes with a slow cooker are that simple, even the more complicated ones are fairly quick and easy to assemble. It’s by far my favorite way to cook. Sadly so many popular slow cooker recipes are dependant on high carb ingredients. Dana Carpender found a way to utilize this amazing kitchen appliance and still keep the recipes low carb and healthy. She lays it all out for us in 200 Low-Carb Slow Cooker Recipes.

Dana’s distaste for bland, mushy food has ensured you won’t suffer through a single soggy tasteless meal using this cookbook. I’d be hard pressed to pick only one favorite from this book – there are just too many! The “I’ve Got A Life” Chicken immediately comes to mind, as does the 3-Minute Slow Cooker Pot Roast. And Dana’s creativity continues to astound me. I would have never thought of making eggs or desserts in a slow cooker.  Along with 200 mouth watering recipes, Dana shares important tips about using slow cookers. I learned some things about my favorite kitchen appliance my friends! You will too once you get your hands on this great book.

Since I’m not willing to give you my copy (seriously, I’ll hurt you should you try to sneak off with it) Dana has agreed to give one lucky winner a copy of 200 Low-Carb Slow Cooker Recipes.  Get your entry in by Midnight tomorrow, Feb. 25th if you want to be the envy of your slow-cooking friends.
