The Perfect Halloween Treat: Stuffed Baby Pepper Monsters Made with Skinnygirl Hummus

I was part of an Influencer Activation on behalf of Skinnygirl, I received a product sample and a promotional item to facilitate my review.
Regardless of this, I only recommend items I think my readers will love.


Hummus is one of those foods I didn't think I would like so I never tried it, then a few years ago I tried some at the request of my husband... and now I can honestly say I'm obsessed. Since I'm on NutriSystem right now, I watch what I eat pretty closely though so hummus kind of felt off limits. Now that I've found Skinnygirl Hummus I can snack and feel like I'm indulging even though I'm not really indulging at all. This delicious and unique hummus is made with non-fat greek yogurt, which may sound strange but it has the same great taste that we all love with a extra creamy texture - it's seriously so good. Plus, I'm also a huge fan of the fact that it's made with all natural ingredients, I think that's the real secret to it's great taste!


You probably have heard of Skinnygirl already because of their alcohol line but now they've come out with all kinds of goodies you can indulge in without feeling guilty! This hummus is a great snack and is absolutely delicious with carrots or baby peppers... To get in the spirit, I decided to make a special Halloween themed treat - Baby peppers stuffed with Skinnygirl Roasted Red Pepper Hummus that look like creepy, yet cute little one-eyed monsters! These are so much fun and will make the perfect Halloween themed appetizer for any Halloween Party or get together.


Stuffed Baby Pepper Monsters
Made with Skinnygirl Hummus

Ingredients:
Baby Peppers
Roasted Red Pepper Skinnygirl Hummus
Reduced Fat Italian Cheese
Olives


These cute little guys are super easy to make, you just cut off the tops of the baby peppers and stuff them with Skinnygirl Roasted Red Pepper Hummus. Then heat the italian cheese in the  safe bowl (for approximately 10 seconds or until gooey but not completely melted) and roll the cheese into several small balls and flatten it. Stick the flattened "cheese ball" to the side of the hummus stuffed pepper and add an olive to the center of the cheese. Now you have a one-eyed Stuffed Baby Pepper Monster of your own.
Plus, now through NYE, you can score 75 cents off Skinnygirl products! Print & use this coupon at Wal-Mart to save yourself some moo-lah!

Trunx: A New Way to Store, Organize, and Share Photos

This is a sponsored post with Mums the Word Network and Trunx. All opinions are my own.

So let's be honest, how many photos do you currently have on your phone?
If you are anything like me that number is WAY too high and your phones storage is full of selfies, shots of your vacations, family photos, foodie pics, and random snapshots of your dog.

Once I hit 2,000+ photos I decided it's time to do something about this "habit" of mine. My photography seriously eats up more GB on my laptop and cell phone than is probably normal, I call it artistic... some may call this virtual hoarding though.

Thank goodness I've found a private and safe way to store all of my digital photos. Trunx is my new favorite app, it's a password protected "cloud" that holds almost every photo I've ever taken, literally.

I take a million pictures of the same thing at different angles just trying to get it perfect - so this app is awesome for "creative minds" like mine. We can now shoot without the worry of running out of space... This
means you can share every single one of your photos from your little one's birthday party or your sister's graduation with your loving family, without having to share a thousand of the same angles with everyone on facebook! Did I mention if you have a family full of photographers, your family members can add photos from their devices into the album you create to share with them. Trunx is the perfect solution to sharing family photos for every family!


I'll be visiting my husband's family in North Carolina very soon
and can't wait to take TONS of pictures of my adorable niece and her precious twin siblings as well as my fabulous sisters and brothers... and now that I know about Trunx, I'll upload photos from both my cell phone and my digital camera to an album that I can share with just these members of my family!

Not only can you share photos easily, the app organizes your photos! You can view photos in the timeline view (each day at a glance), the Calendar view (organized into months and years), or the Tags view - where you can personally organize each photo album however you wish.
There are 3 unique views, making it easy to find that specific moment you’re looking for, to take a walk down memory lane, or relive the best family moments.


Now that you know my favorite new app, I suggest you sign up now and upload everything!
You can find the Trunx app for apple and android mobile devices, as well as windows and apple computers!

Don't miss out on uploading before the 31st of December, Trunx is offering
unlimited photo storage until 2015. Get this: I have about 25,000+ photos saved on my laptop... and Trunx is going to hold onto every single one of those photos for me... for free! Have you priced external hard drives lately? Free is cheaper! The idea of having an unlimited cloud is incredible and I'm so excited to overwhelm my Trunx account with millions of pictures!

Worried about what happens once this introductory offer of free storage is over once 2015 starts? Good news, you'll still be able to access all of your photos and you can purchase additional storage for a very low price.


So a big shout out to Trunx, now I'll never run out of storage on my phone or laptop!


Image storage, organizing, and sharing just got a whole lot easier!




If you download Trunx and upload your photos,let me know what you think of the awesome app
