Having been in the dairy industry for more than 80 years, they recognize that making better products is a continuous process.

Daisy Brand is the leading national brand of sour cream (regular and light) in America. Daisy Brand recently launched its low-fat (2 percent) and regular (4 percent) cottage cheese. For more information, visit Daisy Brand.
I have to admit, I was NOT a huge cottage cheese lover! My twin sister adores it. I'm gonna let you in on a gross secret. As a little girl I LoVed cottage cheese mixed with grape jelly! How disgusting is that?
So when my friends at Daisy Brand asked me if I would like to do a Product Review and Giveaway I took a look at the website and decided to give it a whirl and here's why...
Daisy Cottage Cheese is a distinctively special cottage cheese. From how it’s made to the first fresh taste, the product’s unique attributes make it attractive to many. Each tub is specially sealed to be as fresh the day it is opened as the day it was made, so each taste will be creamy and deliciously fresh.
Unlike most cottage cheeses, Daisy Brand Cottage Cheese is made with 100% natural ingredients, and no additives, preservatives, or artificial growth hormones. I didn't realize that other brands use non-dairy thickeners such as starches and gums in their product. That's so wrong!
I was Blessed to receive some Daisy Cottage Cheese for review and to be honest, it was quite good! Daisy Cottage Cheese is Gluten free and Kosher for those with dietary restrictions. It's also available in a low fat version (2% milkfat) for those following a low fat diet. With just 90 calories per ½–cup serving you can enjoy a 100% natural low fat cottage cheese without giving up the creamy, delicious taste of Daisy Cottage Cheese! (Just an FYI regular Daisy Brand Cottage Cheese has just 20 calories more per serving, with 4% milkfat.)
I found I really like to eat my cottage cheese with fresh fruit! A scoop of Daisy Cottage Cheese and some peaches makes a tasty and filling light lunch that keeps me satisfied for hours! I also love to mix diced red, green and yellow peppers and a ton of spices into my Daisy Cottage Cheese then top this on a Garden Ripe Tomato! Pretty tasty. ( I admit it! I was wrong about cottage cheese!)

First Alert ~ Tundra Fire Extinguishing Spray {Giveaway} ~ 2 Winners
First Alert is America’s most trusted brand in home safety. They are recognized by their premium standard of smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, fire extinguishers, safes, security cameras, doors, fencing, window guards and so much more. No other manufacturer offers as versatile of a product line, while also driving expansion in the safety category with such innovative products as Tundra Fire Extinguishing Spray. They are the consumers #1 destination for fire and home safety information.
Do you have a fire extinguisher in your home? Are you prepared in case of a fire? You need to be! Fire is a deadly threat to any household. It can strike anywhere, at any time. The frightening truth is that in 2005, there were nearly 381,000 home fires in the U.S. resulting in over 16,000 injuries and deaths combined, according to the National Fire Protection Association.
Fire extinguishers provide a tool to fight small fires. Having a fire extinguisher in your home can increase your chances of keeping a small fire from getting out of control and becoming a deadly rage.
I was Blessed to receive a Tundra Fire Extinguishing Spray for review! Tundra Fire Extinguishing Spray is more effective than comparably sized traditional fire extinguishers on fires including paper, wood, fabric, cooking oils and electrical fires. 4x greater discharge time vs. traditional fire extinguishers allows more time to fight the fire. Easy to use aerosol can and spray nozzle design is intuitive to use. Easy clean-up, biodegradable
TUNDRA™ is effective on:
- Common household fires - TUNDRA™ Fire Extinguishing Spray is able to extinguish common fires such as fabrics, paper, and wood.
- Cooking oil fires - TUNDRA™ Fire Extinguishing Spray is unique in that it is able to extinguish cooking oil fires. The liquid contents create a barrier or “blanket” that rapidly extinguishes the fire.
- Fires involving electrical equipment - TUNDRA™ Fire Extinguishing Spray is effective to use on fires involving electrical equipment of 110/220 volts (e.g. a fire started by a toaster). Independent testing has shown the spray pattern is not electrically conductive at 35,000 volts, even from 10 inches.
- Easy-to-use aerosol spray - Lets face it, fire extinguishers can be... well intimidating! When a fire extinguisher looks and feels like a can of 'hairspray' and is familiar in the hand, we are going to KNOW how to use it! THAT saves lives! When this product arrived I picked it up and it made sense! This is one of those products you say to yourself "Why didn't I think of that!" I think every kitchen and home should have a few Tundras!
- A fire extinguisher you can use almost anywhere. It's light, portable and affordable!
- Sprays 4x longer
- Easy cleanup
- Eco-friendly fire extinguishing gas. The tree hugger in me loves this!
- Works on most common household fires. I LOVE that this works on Cooking oil fires and electrical fires!
How to use
The overall technique of using the Tundra™ Fire Extinguishing Spray is similar to that of a traditional fire extinguisher. Aim the Tundra™ at the base of the fire and sweep from side to side at the bottom of the flames. One of the key advantages of the First Alert® Tundra™ Fire Extinguishing Spray is its ease of use and intuitive design, providing consumers quicker response time in the event of a fire. Unlike traditional fire extinguishers, the First Alert® Tundra™ Fire Extinguishing Spray can be operated with one hand vs. two, providing the user more control.

A Simple Daisy ~ Tee Shirt of Choice {Giveaway}
A Simple Daisy specializes in quality tees that are fun to wear. It’s really very simple, their goal is that you find your favorite tees on their website! They only offer the highest quality 100% cotton tee shirts and organic tee shirts that they can find.
I was Blessed to receive two A Simple Daisy Tee Shirts for review! They are absolutely adorable and I am in love with them! I think you'll agree these are really sweet, unique and beautiful tee shirts!
Lucky Mommy and Lucky Grandma • Women's Tees
- 5.4-ounce preshrunk 100% cotton
- Shoulder-to-shoulder taping
- 5/8" rib collar
- Seamless collarette
- Fitted tapered sleeve
- Double-needle neck and bottom hem
- Sizes: Small to XL, 2XL-3X
Of course I love this Tee! I'm a Lucky Grandma, so this Tee Shirt is very special to me!
Planet Earth Tee
The folks at A Simple Daisy are always working to have as many organic and “green” products as possible. The simple fact is that it takes 1/3 lb. of fertilizer and pesticides to produce a single cotton t-shirt. There is no question that organic farming is a better way to go. Organic cotton, eco-friendly fabrics and bamboo cloth are beginning to make their way into mainstream fashion.
Wow! I had no idea! I feel great knowing this is an organic cotton tee! It's not only feels good on, it's good for the earth! These tees run big and are pre-shrunk. They wash beautifully, dry like a dream and do NOT shrink! So order your correct size. I ordered a large thinking they would shrink and they didn't. A medium would have been plenty big for me!
I know you are going to love the scattering of rhinestone accents on both of these tee shirts! It's not over the top! Just enough to add flair, femininity and a dash of pizazz!
I LOVE COMPANIES THAT GIVE BACK
A portion of all sales will be donated to several selected charities. Feel free to pass on your favorite charities and A Simple Daisy will make an effort to add them to their list.
Ultimate Jersey Girl Contest
With summer in full swing A Simple Daisy would like to celebrate the spirit and accomplishments of the women of New Jersey as they prepare their search for "The Ultimate Jersey Girl."
The reality shows can be amusing, fun, and entertaining but we all know that there is so much more to Jersey Girls than what is depicted on television. A Simple Daisy is searching for real women of New Jersey who are making a positive impact in their communities and represent all the wonderful qualities of the Garden State.
To enter the contest, women 21 years of age or older should take a picture or 30 second video of themselves doing a charitable deed or perhaps in front of their favorite Jersey icon, landmark, restaurant, beach, store, etc. wearing the Jersey Girl tee from A Simple Daisy explaining why they believe they are the ultimate Jersey girl.
All profits from the sale of the Jersey Girl t-shirts will benefit the Community FoodBank of New Jersey.
Contest runs from Memorial Day Weekend 2010 until Labor Day Weekend 2010. Winner of the contest will get accommodations at the beautiful Borgata Hotel casino & Spa in Atlantic City, compliments of A Simple Daisy and the opportunity to be the Simply Jersey model for A Simple Daisy for a year.
