If your dad is anything like my dad, he’s so difficult to buy for when it comes to Father’s Day. One thing I know that most men love, sometimes it’s even questionable if they love it more than anything else, is their vehicle. Quixx Care Systems has been very generous as they are sponsoring my Celebrating Dad Giveaway with not one or two but five winners. Each person drawn will win a Quixx Wax Kit to help fix your yellowing headlights.
I received some of their Paint Scratch Remover and was really impressed.
I put the cream on a very large spot that my bicycle tire made on the back of my car. My kids had put the bikes on my bike rack (when they borrowed my car to get to the bike path) and the wheels rubbed on the back of the car and left a pretty big mark that I haven’t been able to wipe off.
Here’s my before photo:
After:
I was so impressed with the results. I can’t wait to use it on a few other scratches I have (it started raining….no pouring, right after I did the first spot so I didn’t get a chance to finish the others).
So……to enter to win one of the five Quixx Wax kits, enter via the Rafflecopter below. After you enter, check out the other blogs below that are also offering a prize for your dad (or you).

This recipe comes from the Engine 2 Diet book and was a HUGE hit with my husband. After not eating anything sweet for three weeks the BBQ sauce was a bit sweet for me. I think next time I’ll add a little more tomato paste or try and find a BBQ sauce that isn’t so sweet. It’s really hard to find a sauce that doesn’t have sugar as one of the first three ingredients. If anyone knows of any, can you please leave a comment with the brand name and where you found it?
Burt’s BBQ Pizza
Ingredients:
4 ounces tomato paste
1 cup BBQ sauce
2 tsp dried oregano
2 Kabuli crusts (I couldn’t find those so I used whole grain naan flatbreads)
1 small red onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced (I used a green one)
2 handfuls of fresh spinach (next time I’ll go with 3 handfuls)
1 jar pineapple chunks, drained
1/2 cup finely ground raw cashews
Preheat oven to 425°. Mix the tomato paste, barbecue sauce and oregano together in a bowl. Generously spread the sauce on the crusts and layer with the vegetables and pineapple. Top with the cashews. Bake on a sprayed cooking sheet or pizza stone for 15 minutes.
My son added some pre-cooked chicken to his pizza but my husband and I kept ours animal protein free (the Eat to Live way).
I am trying to eat more and more vegetables and surprisingly even my 17 year old son has accepted the non-meat meals. When I asked him if he liked this dish, she replied with a grin and said I’m going in for seconds. I take that as a yes.
Pasta Primavera
Ingredients:
2 zucchinis, sliced
1 summer squash, sliced
1 green pepper, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
1 cup carrots, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 T oregano, dried
1 jar of low-salt pasta sauce
1 cup carrot juice, optional
16 ounces whole-grain spaghetti, cooked (I used linguine)
1 cup raw cashews, ground
I have this amazing food processor made by The Food Network and it sliced all of my vegetables (except the tomatoes) for me, including the carrots. Then I threw them all in a pan and water sauteed them until tender (first 6 ingredients). Add in the diced tomatoes, oregano, juice, pasta sauce and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve over the spaghetti. Garnish the top with the ground cashews.
