What can be yummier than Surf and Turf from Omaha Steaks for Valentine’s Day?

Well, this is my idea of a perfect Valentine’s meal.  A completely grilled meal!

• 2 Lobster Tails
• 2 Filet Mignons
• 1 bunch of Asparagus (not included)
• Thick sliced bread (not included)

1. Thaw the Lobster tails and Filets overnight in the fridge.  Then cut them in half going from underside to the topside.  Pat them dry and then lightly drizzle with olive oil.
2. For the Filets, just pat them dry and then drizzle with olive oil.
3. Put the Filets on a very hot grill for approximately 5 minutes per side (depending on the doneness you prefer).
4. When the Filets have been on the grill for about 5 minutes, put the lobster tails on the grill with the cut side down.  It will only take about 4-5 minutes for these to cook all the way thru.
5. For the asparagus, cut about 2 inches off the bottom to get the tough part off.  Then rinse, dry and of course, drizzle with olive oil.  Place them on the cooler side of the grill and these will stay there for anywhere from 5-10 minutes.  I like to do this AFTER the steaks are done, so that the steaks can rest and retain their juices.  When they are done, I top with a little butter.  YUM!
6. For the bread, I like to use VERY thick sliced bread.  It will only take about 2 minutes or so per side.  I like to do this while the meat is resting.  Just grill it with butter and garlic salt.

Now that I said all that…I am sure you all probably know how much I love Omaha Steaks!  Some of you may not realize how great mail order steaks can be.  Well, they have the Valentines package called the “Elegant Anniversary” for $49.99 + shipping.  Fabulous deal.  Thinking about the fancy dinners Jerome and I had before kids…this would have run $120 or so easily!

And Omaha Steaks is giving one lucky reader of MyCouponLady the chance to win the Elegant Anniversary package.

Disclosure: Omaha Steaks sent me a package for my review.  This did not influence my review in any way.  All opinions are my own. (giveaway open to residents of the US only)

In order to win these steaks AND have them delivered to you in time for Valentines day…you will need to be QUICK.  The giveaway starts NOW and will end on 2/8.  I will need you to respond with your mailing address by 2/9.  If you don’t respond by that time, Omaha Steaks will not have time to get the order to you by Valentine’s Day.   If the winner has not responded by 2/10, then an alternate winner will be chosen.

Good Luck!

I purchased a Cuddletunes bear for both of my girls at Christmas time.  Both Rachel and Samantha LOVE their bear.  They carry them all over the house.  When I first bought them, I put the suggested lullabies on them.  Both of the girls loved having the songs with their names in it.  You heard right, the songs actually incorporate the name of the child if you want it to.

I also took time to record some of my girls favorites.  Sami’s favorite song is actually the kookaburra song.  She LOVES that song.  So I recorded myself singing that for her.  And the Rachel’s favorite song is “Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty” (and all you Big Bang Theory fans will know that song).  Rachel loves it to be sung twice in a row.  So that is how I recorded it.  The bear is AMAZING.

Well, needless to say, my girls are 5 and 6 and decided that they wanted to hear they favorite pop songs on the bear.  So, I have the MP3 files, and loaded them up.  Now, they jam out the ‘The Rizers’ every chance they get.  As soon as they open their eyes in the morning, the bear is playing their favorite songs.

With that being said, think of the ways you could use this bear.  If you have a little, tiny baby that just needs to hear mom’s or dad’s voice all night, record your soft songs.  If you have little jammers, put their favorite tunes on them.

One thing I LOVE about this, it can be updated from ANYWHERE there is internet access.  So, think of the grandparents that are miles and miles away.  They can get online, record themselves reading the child’s favorite book or singing the child’s favorite song.  Or think of the mom or dad that is deployed in the military.  They can access the Cuddletunes site and upload a message for the child.

The bear is available from Cuddletunes for $59.95 + Shipping.  This is worth way more than that.  I was looking for an iPod at Christmas for my daughters and quickly realized that it was going to be more than that.  I went with the bear.  Much more cuddly, much cuter and if it drops, it doesn’t break. 

Cuddletunes provided me with a bear for me to write my review and also is providing one to a lucky MyCouponLady reader.

It is very easy to enter…Just follow the steps below.  The only mandatory entry method is that you “Like” Cuddletunes on Facebook.  All other methods of entry are to gain extra entries, not mandatory.

Good Luck!

What an awesome deal!  Right now, you can go to BeautyBox5 and select the monthly program for $12 (shipping is free) and you will get a second box free.  That means 2 boxes for $12 – or just $6 each shipped.

I was talking with a friend there as I was trying to scoop out what we can expect to see in our boxes.  (I just ordered mine) and she said:

the brands featured will be a mixture of high-end, boutique, and more common known brands. For example our first box, brands include products sold at Sephora and Ulta and other brands have stand alone boutiques, some are online-based, and some are natural and organic. It really is a variety so that consumers can find the product that best meets their needs: all kinds of brands, all kinds of pricing, for all kinds of lifestyles. Also, the products are not just “samples”, we refer to them as this because consumers are trying different products BUT our first box has some packet/sachet samples, some travel size products and a full-size product too!

If that doesn’t get you excited, I don’t know what will.

Now, when you go over to BeautyBox5, you will see the price of $12 for 1 month – in order to get your B1G1 Free, you will need to enter a special promocode that has been set up exclusively for MyCouponLady readers  BOGO3

I am so excited to see what I get…I will take pictures of it and share it with you when it comes in.
