Barilla Collezione

I love pasta as much as anyone else, and since pasta noodles are so affordable, I always try to come of with unique ways of cooking them and using them in other recipes. The great thing about Barilla Collezione, is that they come in very unique shapes that add some extra interest to your meal. These noodles take your pasta dinner from basic to extraordinary just by using them. The amount of attention the meals I've made with Barilla Collezione is amazing.
Besides making a great presentation, they cook really well and taste great. Everyone I've had over for dinner when making Barilla Collezione has been very impressed by flavor, texture, and visual appeal.
I tend to get very creative with my pasta dinners, and these noodles are great for getting creative with. I tend to take leftovers and put them in with pasta espcially when there isn't a lot left, you can easily take leftovers for 2 and turn it into a new dinner for 4. I did this one evening with some leftover Mexican soup when I had company and it was a bit late to cook a whole new meal. I cooked some Barilla Collezione noodles and heated up the leftover soup, and we had some Mexican Pasta. My friends loved it and it only took a few minutes to whip up. They did think I was a bit crazy mixing Mexican and Italian until they tried it.

Skechers Reggae-Rasta Outdoor Lifestyle Sandal

I'm normally not a much of a sandal person aside from wedge sandals, which until my recent pair (also from Skechers), I haven't worn sandals for the past few years with my old favorites being long past their life expectancy. I had worked an event promoting Chaco Sandals and got a pair for free from working the event (gotta love my job). I was actually quite looking forward to trying the Chacos after seeing rave reviews and seeing they are podiatrist recommended and also a suggested sandal for Plantar Fascitis (not sure if I have it, but my mom does, and I do have high arches and get occasional symptoms of it). I worked the 3 day event in the Chacos both Z2 sandals and the Chaco Outcross (open air shoe/sandal hybrid), and while the arch support was great (almost too high even for me), the footbed was stiff. I felt constant pressure on my arches especially in the sandals, in the Outcross, I felt the arch wasn't quite in the right spot, but still a very stiff footbed.

Chaco Outcross Evo 1 and Chaco Z2

I worked an event where I would be required to wear Chacos, and would be wearing the shoes while working. I wasn't familiar with the brand so I Googled them prior to working, partially because I have some foot issues and wanted to see if I was going to be miserable in them or if they might actually work for my high arches. I found out that Chaco shoes are podiatrist recommended and have excellent arch support and are also good for Plantar Fascitis. I have high arches (as well as mild oocasional symptoms of Plantar Fascitis) and am always looking for cute shoes that have good support. These ideally should have checked both boxes. I wore both the Outcross Evo 1 and the Z2 while working, but could only keep one pair. I really wanted to like the Chaco brand, but they just aren't working for me. I don't know if they need broken in more or if they just aren't for my feet. I have very high arches and have a hard time find shoes that are comfortable for me.

Skechers Cali Memory Foam Wedge Sandal

I haven't owned a pair of good wedge sandals in years. I am super picky about wedge sandals and most the new styles I don't care for either because of aesthetics, or comfort reasons. Many of the current wedge offerings with thse type straps extend back towards the heel which I hate the look of, and others are just to hard of a footbed, or the shoe is very heavy. The Skechers Cali Memory Foam wedges have a very soft footbed (made of you guessed it.. Memory Foam), they are super cushy while still being supportive. I have high arches and finding shoes can be a challenge for me, although I have great luck with most Skechers especially those with the memory foam, because it can conform to my foot. These wedges do have a visible arch support on the footbed. They are a fairly low heel at about 2 inches, I normally would prefer higher, but heel height is one area I'm more willing to compromise. Another great feature is that sandals are very lightweight so you don&
