Happy 2nd Birthday, Swag Bucks, and thanks for another day (and another year) of birthday gifts! Swag Bucks, a search portal that pays everyday internet users like you to use their search engine, released Swag Bucks 3.0 today AND…a swag code worth 60 Swag Bucks for new members!! (For those of you who already enjoy the perks of Swag Bucks, SBs are now worth ten times their previous value…though prizes cost ten times more than before, so it all evens out.)
If you’re new to Swag Bucks, click HERE to register (it takes less than a minute), and enter the IMOMMIES1 code to start off with 60 Swag Bucks. (In case you’re wondering, 60 Swag Bucks is enough to purchase one of a couple hundred of the lower end prizes, including a $5 DiNG gift certificate.)
All users can follow Swag Bucks today on their blog, Twitter, and Facebook to earn more free 2nd birthday Swag codes!

Thanks to all who entered the Dinner for Four (Nights) Giveaway! If you didn’t win the four coupons for free Tyson Heat ‘N Eat Dinner Meats, but would still like to try one of these quick recipes, click HERE to share how you “embrace dinner”, and receive a money-saving coupon via email.
According to the 2008 New American Diner Study, 80% of Americans make weekday dining decisions based primarily on convenience. I was surprised at that number – really expected it to be more along the lines of 99%! I’m not sure exactly how it happened, but I could swear that there are now only four hours in a day…what happened to the other 20?!
As part of my quest to be less mealtime LAST-minute, I’ve tried a myriad of different recipes, and the next on my list is from Robin Miller’s Mealtime Minute with Tyson…Brisket Quesadillas with Creamy Salsa Dip. They’re intended as an appetizer using Tyson’s Braised Beef Brisket with Mild Chili Sauce, but if served with a bowl of pinto beans or a side of Spanish rice, this should actually be a faster and less expensive dinner than a last-minute call to On The Border. Best of all, these quesadillas require no expertise beyond combining ingredients and heating in a pan!
What do you think? Looks pretty good, right? And Robin Miller only took about a minute to explain it, so it already seems like a ”Quick Fix“! Robin has published six other quick recipes using Tyson’s Fully Cooked Heat ‘N Eat Dinner Meats, so if you’re not in the mood for Tex-Mex, there are alternatives! Each recipe requires one dinner meat and serves a family of four.
Alright, I don’t like to cook alone, so if you’d like to join me on my latest attempt at a tasty quick dinner, enter to win a set of four free product coupons (valued at up to $6.99 each and valid through 02/01/10) for Tyson’s Fully Cooked Heat ‘N Eat Dinner Meats (available in your grocer’s refrigerated meat department).

The winners of last week’s online window prizes are…
Friday’s Ultimate Blog Party Prize is Naturally Açaí Xtra, a new product offered by AgroLabs, the leader in liquid nutrition! This “Superfruit of the Amazon” helps support healthy energy levels, and the cardiovascular and immune systems!
Recently, the Açaí berry has become all the rage with celebrities and health experts alike – including one of Oprah’s guest doctors who named Açaí as the number one superfood in the world. Natives of the Amazon have used Açaí for hundreds of years to promote energy, healthy digestion and good health. Açaí is particularly rich in fatty acids and palmitic acid, 19 amino acids with especially high contents of aspartic acid and glutamic acid, and an abundance of antioxidants.
