Great Potluck Idea for Holiday parties!! Bean and Corn Salad!

I am always clueless about what to take to holiday parties, potlucks and any party. While I love to entertain, it's hard for me to decide what to make when I am not hosting the party. 

I have a few dishes but I use them all the time. Now this recipe is pretty new for me. And it is easy! It is also delicious. This can be used as a potluck dish. What I like about it is that it requires NO COOKING! It is vegetarian and it is hearty. It's great for the summer but also for winter. 

You will need 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice, 2-15 oz. can of black beans, 1-15 oz can of Pinto beans, 1-15 oz. can of corn, 1 bunch of cilantro, 1 red onion chopped, 1 cup of cherry tomatoes cut in half.  

First make the vinaigrette, use 2 tablespoons of oil (olive or canola) and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon or lime juice. I prefer lemon but I know many people like lime. Add salt and pepper to taste. 

Take the pinto beans, black beans and corn and put into a colander and drain. 

Chop the cilantro, red onion and cherry tomatoes. 

Mix the cilantro, tomatoes and onion in a bowl. 

Add the corn and beans and mix. 

Add the vinaigrette and mix well. That's it. DONE! How easy is that? 

If you want some spice, add jalapenos. If you don;t want to make fresh vinaigrette, then use salad dressing. If you want to use other beans, you can. I have made this with kidney beans and white northern beans. Trust me, you take this to a potluck or picnic and people will love it!

Heat Holders Review and Giveaway!

It's winter and that means COLD! My whole life I have been a wimp about the cold. I was born in Los Angeles and then moved to Miami for a few years. I wasn't used to the cold. When I moved to other places where it snowed, I was horrified.

I love keeping the heat on during winter but hubby frowns upon that. So I have to find ways of keeping my warm. I tried it all. Sweatshirts, flannels, beanies and slankets. That's all well and good but it is always my feet that suffer. My feet never get warm!

But I discovered Heat Holders®. Heat Holders® creates products that keep the heat in and keep you warm. Heat Holders® are over 7x warmer than regular cotton socks and nearly 3x warmer than ordinary thermal socks. They are better than heated, electric or battery operated socks because you can just put them on without fussing with batteries, wires etc. Heat Holders® means No more cold feet! They are made using a unique 3 step process which makes them the Warmest Thermal Socks!

And the best part is that Heat Holders® have more than just socks. They offer thermal underwear, gloves, hats, throws and blankets! All these products are designed to keep you warm and cozy during the winter season.

Now here in Wilmington, we don't get a long winter like up North but it is still cold. So I need to have items available to keep me warm. I received several products to review. I got original Heat Holders® Crew sock, the slipper socks and gloves. The socks are great. Hubby took my socks and loves them. I love the slipper socks because they  are non-skid. Something I need on my hardwood floors.

The inside of each sock has a soft brushed lining that is not only soft and warm. has been intensively brushed that not only feels sensationally soft but also traps warm air close to the skin keeping your feet warmer for longer. Heat Holders® are non-binding. They are diabetic friendly and provide relief for cold feet due to circulation problems.

The cable knit gloves are comfy and are made with HeatWeaver® thermal lining. The lining is soft and it keeps your fingers warm even in the coldest weather. I love them. I need the hat now!

These are such great products! I know these would make great stocking stuffers or holiday gifts especially if you know someone who lives in a cold area.
