Samsung a Night of Wonder @ BlogHer 2010 With High Capacity Mom Bloggers
Samsung a Night of Wonder @ BlogHer 2010
New York City
It was my delight to be invited to join Samsung USA for the Samsung Experience NYC while at BlogHer 2010! The entire team is the most gracious and hospitable group you would want to associate with any time!
It was so wonderful to be invited to the Samsung Night of Wonder while in NYC for BlogHer! What a privilege to get to know this first class company.
Believe me, Samsung gets Moms.
The Flex Drawer Refrigerator is revolutionary for families who, like us, are all about healthy living, home-cooking and spending time in the kitchen! As a homeschooling family, one of the surprises to me was the number of times I am in the kitchen fixing meals, snacks, and drinks. The more you/we are home, the more time we spend in the kitchen.
The Flex EZ-Open Handle Samsung Refrigerator is awesome for people like me who freeze most of their produce and condiments and have a freezer full of half-frozen or soupy ice cream. Samsung has the answers for me in this refrigerator and its features. You could virtually live in the refrigerator - after all the controls are all left up to you!
Check it out:
The EZ-Open Handle™ and the convenient counter-level height make it the most kid-friendly spot. An adjustable drawer divider offers up to four flexible-size compartments for the ultimate in organization. With four different temperature settings, you can store cold cuts, all your kids’ snacks or hors d’oeuvres for any occasion. Samsung refrigerators conserve your energy and your cash.
:)
Then we had the most elegant, relaxing and enjoyable dinner at Per Se, a French Restaurant, where the food delighted and we were able to dine and visit and enjoy the Samsung Team and Friends.
Are you a Samsung enthusiast? What's your favorite Samsung appliance? Just so you know, Samsung is very much interested in what you! If you have questions, let me know? Let them know. They are engaging and sharing the conversation. No wonder they are making a beautiful difference in homes across the globe!
*This story is voluntary and my own information and knowledge of Samsung. I fell in love with the Company, its philosophy and the Flex Refrigerator while I was in NYC. This is the beginning of a beautiful thing.

Samsung USA Believes in High Capacity Mom Bloggers!
In fact, it was love at first glance when I saw the first slide on the enormous Samsung flat screen television - "High Capacity Mom Bloggers!" My heart melted.
From that point forward I felt like I was talking with an old friend. Really they had me from the minute they sent Georgio to pick us up in our own "President's Mobile!"
Believe me for this High Capacity Mom :) we were spoiled just riding around NYC with our heels up! When we arrived, we looked like this:

They have the best Samsung Refrigerator - Flex Drawer! And I am dreaming about it still!

We also saw the very large flat screen TV and it represents. It seriously looks thinner than an
iPad! How exciting is that!
You can follow Samsung USA on Facebook for all their latest as well.
Also on Twitter: Samsung Tweets
We all had a grand time tweeting up our event and enjoying learning and sharing with this dynamic
company.

Again, Thank you Samsung for a Night to Remember! It was my privilege.

Not sure I've been "reinvtented" - it's just me! However, Motherhood has defined me and I can see that as a Reinvention! Thank you Shine Yahoo!
Enjoy!

Weight Watchers Tuna Nicoise Salad
Just in from BlogHer 2010 New York City and I am ready for some home cooking! It's hot outside! So I am making an old favorite, Weight Watcher's style.
You know I am a successful Weight Watchers Meetings Member. Well, for those of you who are not members, you too can access the awesome recipes on the WW website. They have a lot of great information available for everyone! Take advantage of it and you will be successful. I count points, so I love the look of this awesome salad. I had this salad in Europe and I tell you it was not "points friendly." Now, i can have this Mediterranean specialty and guilt-free!
Tuna Nicoise Salad!
POINTS® Value: 3
Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 20 min
Cooking Time: 7 min
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Works with Simply Filling
This classic salad seems harmless, but the truth is it's often drowning in fat. Lighten your niçoise by creating your own dressing using broth, vinegar, mustard and just a touch of oil.
Ingredients
4 small uncooked new potatoes, red, quartered
1/2 pound(s) green snap beans, trimmed
1/3 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp olive oil
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
4 leaf Boston lettuce
6 oz canned chunk white tuna in water, drained and flaked
2 Tbsp capers, drained
8 items olive(s), sliced in half (use nicoise if available)
Instructions
Place potatoes in a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover them by 2 inches. Set pan over high heat and bring water to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer 6 minutes. Add green beans and cook until potatoes are fork-tender and green beans are crisp-tender, about 1 to 2 minutes more; drain and transfer vegetables to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together broth, vinegar, mustard and oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add half of dressing to potatoes and green beans; toss to coat.
Place 1 lettuce leaf on each of 4 plates. Top each with 1/4 of potato-green bean mixture, 1 1/2 ounces of tuna, 1/2 tablespoon of capers and 4 olive halves. Drizzle each with 1/4 of remaining dressing.
Chef Tips
We renovated Tuna Salad Nicoise by:
Using fat-free chicken broth to replace oil in the dressing.
Substituting white tuna in water for light tuna in oil.
I use mustard generously as my favorite condiment. What is your favorite condiment? Do you like the look of this salad?!
