NuWave Oven Pro + Giveaway {$150 ARV}

I'm usually not so great at planning ahead for mealtimes. I end up throwing something together at the last minute and wishing that my oven would cook faster. When I discovered the NuWave Oven, I couldn't believe I didn't already have one. It cooks up to 50% faster and uses up to 85% less energy energy than a conventional oven.
The NuWave Oven can cook up to a 10 lb turkey or a 8 lb ham. It will cook up to 50% faster and uses up to 85% less energy energy than your conventional oven. You'll no longer have to waste time and money pre-heating your large oven, plus you can cook from frozen to fabulous, so there is no defrosting required. Foods cooked in the NuWave Oven are healthier, too. There are no additional fats or oils required, foods cook quickly and evenly, sealing the natural juices and removing more unwanted fats.
Features:
  • Cooks from frozen up to 50% faster
  • It can Broil, Roast, Grill, Bake, Barbeque, Steam, Dehydrate and even Air-Fry
  • Triple Combo Cooking Power (Conduction, Convection, Infrared)
  • Reheat function for leftover foods
  • Easy to operate digital control
  • Adjustable power level settings from 1 to 10
  • Light weight and compact - weighs only 10 pounds
  • Outside dimension - 15.5 inches wide and 13.5 inches tall
  • Inside dimension - 6.5 inches deep and 12 inches in diameter
  • Only uses 1500 watts of power, 120 volts, 12.5 amps
  • Eco-friendly dishwasher safe parts
  • 1-Year Manufacturer's Warranty
I was sent the NuWave Oven Pro and the Extender Ring Kit. The Extender Ring Kit includes a 3" extender ring, a 10" non stick baking pan and a 2" cooking rack. The Extender Ring Kit increases the capacity of the oven by up to 50%, allowing it to cook up to a 16 lb turkey or a 14 lb ham. The 2 inch rack can be used on top of or below the 4 inch rack that comes with the oven. It allows you to do things like cook steaks on one layer and cook vegetables on another layer, saving both time and cleanup. I plan on purchasing addition 2 inch racks because you can use up to 2 extra ones which is especially perfect for dehydrating food.

It also came with a small cookbook,a stack of recipe cards, and an instructional video to give me and idea of the amazing things the NuWave Oven can do. There is also a chart which explains how long each type of food will take to cook. The chart shows cook time for fresh or frozen food.

I decided to make stuffed chicken for our first NuWave meal. When I read that it would only take 19 minutes(in comparison to the 40 minutes it takes in my regular oven), I was in shock. Much to my amazement, the chicken started to turn white after just a few minutes. I placed some of the stuffing on top of the chicken which got a little more done than I would have liked, so next time I will put aluminum foil over it to prevent that. In this picture you can also see the fat and grease that cooked off to the tray below, making the meal more healthy than if I would have cooked it in my oven.

My husband and I were thrilled with how perfect the chicken was cooked! It was extremely moist and tasted fantastic - and it only took 19 minutes!!!

Here is a quick explanation of all the NuWave Oven parts. One of my favorite features is that all of the parts(except the Power Head) is dishwasher safe - again, making clean-up a breeze!

I couldn't be more pleased with our NuWave Oven Pro. It is going to come in especially handy when baby girl arrives within the next 2 weeks. If I'm really pressed for time, all I have to do is throw in frozen meat and it will be a moist, healthy meal in just minutes!

37week 2day Appointment + Induction Is Set

It seems like this pregnancy is taking the same track as my other two. I keep having fairly regular contractions with some being pretty intense. Last week I was 3cm and 60% effaced. Today I was 4cm and 80%, so we started talking about when to have baby. I told him that I really want him to be the one to deliver, so he went to check which days he was in the hospital. My choices were 2/29(40w1d) or 2/22(39w1d). I definitely don't want a leap day baby, so baby day is set for 2/22(as long as she stays put until then).

Here is my little family with me at 37 weeks pregnant.

Leading Lady - Nursing Bra Review + Bra Of Choice Giveaway

Baby girl will be here in less than 3 weeks and since I plan on breastfeeding, I'll be needing a few nursing bras to make life easier. Leading Lady has several different styles available and sent me their Molded Seamless Underwire Nursing Bra.
  • Seamless style looks great under clothing
  • Molded and lightly padded to fit every curve perfectly
  • Quick, one-handed clasp for easy nursing
  • Underwire for added support
  • Latex free
I have a larger bust and feel more comfortable in an underwire bra. I heard that it is best not to wear an underwire one when you first start breastfeeding, but I did with Isabella and had no issues. I used their size chart and the bra is currently a little large, but I know from past experience that my bust will grow when the milk comes in and it will fit well.

The bra provides great support and has molded cups that are great for discretion. The clips at the top of the cup are very easy to access and pull down when it is time for baby to eat. I think this bra looks great on and I feel very confident in it.

Visit Leading Lady to learn more and to view their full selection.

Buy It
The Molded Seamless Underwire Nursing Bra is available for $30 and is available in nude and white right now.  Leading Lady provides free shipping on orders over $50.

One of my readers will win a bra of choice from Leading Lady(it doesn't have to be a nursing bra).
