Fly Tying Tool: Taking the Mess Out of Fly Fishing | #Flyfishing #FlyTying #ad

FreedomWild Outdoors LLC

It is no secret that my family loves to fish.  We are always looking for a better way to catch more fish while keeping our sanity alive.  One thing that we don't get a chance to do as often as we like is fly-fishing.  It is hard to keep track of all of the small feather-tied fly lures and with children, organization is key.

My father used to go on week long trips to Mono Lake, California and New Zealand to try his hand at fly-fishing.  I remember seeing his beautiful flies spread around his work bench in a jumble of feathers, hooks and string.  At the time, I didn't understand the love that went into each fly that was a work of art.  In fact, my sister loved the flies so much, she cut the barbs of 2 and made earrings out of them.

A new app on iTunes was brought to my attention to make fly-fishing easier.  The Savvy Fly Tying Tool is a must have for anglers who tie their own flies.  How do you keep track of which flies you have?  Is your tackle box as messy as my fathers?

The Savvy Fly Tying Tool helps:

  • See what fly tying supplies you have on hand at a glance
  • Give you quick access to your favorite fly patterns which you can take a picture of
  • Stores tackle box information with flies to see availability
  • Smart Shopping List helps you create a shopping list based on your favorite flies
    • Helps you keep track of what supplies you need to make your favorite fly patterns
    • Stores the supplies per patterned fly so you buy only what you need
FreedomWilds Outdoors LLC
FreedomWild Outdoors LLC

Fly tying is an art that has been around since the 15th Century and there are SO many different ways and patterns to flies.  Why make your art more difficult that it has to be?  Keep track of all of your patterns, flies and more with this new modern day application.  

Whether you are on a dream fly-fishing trip to New Zealand or fly-fishing in the ocean catching sail-fish, this app will help keep you organized and catching more fish.

You can purchase the Savvy Fly Tying Tool at the iTunes App Store for here for only $1.99.

6 NEW Bacon Filled Items at Stacked | @FoodWellBuilt #BaconMonth

Bacon Month

Bacon, one of the main reasons why I can never be a vegetarian.  In all seriousness, I have never met a bacon item I haven't liked.  STACKED invited me to their Cerritos location to test out a few new bacon recipes I had never had the pleasure of meeting.  

Since my husband is also a huge fan, I felt obligated to share with him... okay, it was a date.  

My husband had never had the pleasure of enjoying the Candied Bacon and I wasn't to keen on sharing mine.  Luckily, ALL of the Bacon items were garnished with it.  My husband might have lost a finger or two otherwise.  LOL

Stacked Food Well Built
Stacked Food Well Built
Did you know that STACKED has a great selection of Craft Beers?  Try this Beer Rack and see what your favorite is. 

Choose 4 to sample out of 16 beers.  I particularly like the Hefeweisen.  


We started off with our favorite, the Candied Bacon.  Let it bring you back to dipping your bacon into maple syrup as a kid(and adults).  It melts in your mouth with a perfect crispness.  I could eat it all day.

We all need to eat our vegetables right?  The Southwestern BLT Salad was next with avacado, cheese, corn, tomatoes and candied bacon topped with a spicy chipotle dressing.   I would reccomend dressing on the side unless you really like the heat.

Stacked Food Well Built

Want something a little sweeter?  This Sweet Bacon and Onion Mac should hit the spot.  Of course, it was topped with the candied bacon.  You can't go wrong!

Stacked Food Well Built

My hubby and I split this Bacon Jam Burger.  Did you know you can customize everything to your liking?  We added mushrooms and onion straws to this bacon filled burger.

Stacked Food Well Built

Since we wanted to try all the new items, we ended up taking most of this Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza home for out kids.  We did make the addition of onion straws which added a sweet element to this unique pizza that was a big hit with the young-uns.

Stuffed doesn't even begin to describe how we felt by this point in our lunch but their was one thing that was teasing us on the menu.  The Cookie Butter Bacon Shake.  Yes, you read that right, Bacon.  I wasn't so sure about this one...  until we tried it.

This sweet and salty dessert was an interesting combination which left me wondering if there really wasn't anything that bacon didn't make taste delicious.

September is Bacon Month and you don't want to miss it at STACKED.  Please visit their website for the closest location, here.

Pampered Pets with True Science Products | @Delightibles @PetActionPlus #Pets #ad

Delightibles Cat Treats

Have you noticed how expensive pet products have become?  YIKES!  I am always on the lookout for quality products that my pets love and actually WORK!  I am excited to announce that I have partnered with True Science, a pet product company that has promised that their products fit the bill.

I have two dogs, Brittany and Ozzy and two cats, Stewart and Kahuna.  These pet product reviews will be a reflection of their views as who really knows except the experts right?

This month, I was sent a new cat treat that even the pickiest cat won't turn its nose at.  Delightibles are an AMERICAN made treat that is full of wholesome ingredients.  If you or your cat is not satisfied, there is also a 100% money-back guarantee.  All of their treats are BHA, BHT, soy and wheat free.

True Science Delightibles Cat Treats


My cats couldn't get enough of them!  Apparently, I wasn't giving my cat, Stewart, treats fast enough so he took it upon himself to get it himself.  Why use paws if you can just dive right in?  

Kahuna was trying to get a paw in edgewise but Stewart really 
wasn't having to much to do with it.

The second product I was sent was Pet Action Plus.  This flea product promises to rid our pets of:

  • Fleas
  • Flea eggs
  • Flea larvae
  • Chewing lice
  • Ticks
The best part?  It costs 1/3 what the leading brands cost!  The same main ingredients but much less money. Seriously, it works AND costs less?  PLEASE!  Since I have used the drops on my cats, I have noticed a decrease of not only fleas and scratching but their coats seem shinier too!

Want even more?  How about a coupon for even more money off?  Save $3 more off at www.petactionplus.com/3-dollars-off-coupon.

So, where can we purchase these great new products?  Your local Walmart, Sams Club, Anda, BJ's, HEB, and Kinney Drugs.  You can also order them online at walmart.com

I look forward to sharing more products for our furry children, the good, the bad and the ugly.  We will have to see what my four-legged children like.

Dancing at Johnny Rockets

Come for a shake and stay for dinner!  The classic American food makes our tummies happy.  Did you know that they have Vegetarian food as well?  Shhhh!  Don't tell my daughter as she gobbled hers down!

Savannah's Chophouse A Night of Romance and Fun | @SavChopHouse

Laguna Niguel

I recently had a chance to head a little farther South in the OC to try a new(to me) steakhouse for a rare date night with my hubby.  The Savannah Chop House in Laguna Niguel and Gigga Savvy invited us for a promised evening of fun a great food.

We were greeted to a beautiful view and a sunset setting over the ocean.  It was so romantic!  In fact, if you have romance in mind, ask for Table #1 as it has the best view on the outdoor patio which brings out the romance in couples.  Many engagements occurred here.

Views

We started off with refreshments and appetizers that whet our appetite and gave us a preview of the amazing chefs like Chris Tzorin had in store for us.  Salmon, Prosciutto Wrapped Shrimp, and Bruschetta were the top choices of the night.

Appetizers

As we socialized, we were greeted by none other than some of the Knotts Scary Farm Monsters!  What a SHOCK!  With the mood lightened with friendly terror, Chef Tzorin came out and fed us the hard work that went into the feasts of Savannah Chop House.


Chef Chris Tzorin Knotts Scary Farm

While a high end restaurant, Savannah's prides themselves on making our families, theirs.   They invite people of all stages of their lives.  Come celebrate sports, birthdays, engagements, retirements, you name it.  There is room for everyone.

The pre-dinner appetizer was this divine Tempura Stuffed Zucchini!  Stuffed with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes atop bed of mixed greens and ponzu sauce.  An orchid finished off the look and we dug in.

Tempura Stuffed Zucchini

Still hungry?  Salads were next on our 5+ course meal.  A house favorite was this watermelon and beet salad with candied walnuts and a light vinaigrette.  Very refreshing salad for a hot summer day.  If you are not a beet fan, the Classic Caesar Salad is a good choice.

Watermelon and Beet Salad

What was on the main course for our event?  Our dinner was a delicious Surf and Turf of Scallops, Shrimp and a Filet Medallion. Settled on top of mashed potatoes with a Cabernet reduction.  YUMM!

Surf and Turf

You can't eat dinner without a dessert!  I saved the best for last.  Our choices to share with our dates were a Strawberry Shortcake(vanilla cakes) topped with whipped cream and Flourless Chocolate cake that was TO.DIE.FOR!  I am not exaggerating!  Berries and vanilla ice-cream topped a molten chocolate heaven that literally melted in your mouth.

Desserts

I really can't say enough about our incredible date night at Savannah Chop House.  Beautiful food, sunset, company and my love.  You really can't ask for more.  Make your own memories at this delicious restaurant tucked away in Laguna Niguel.
