Link Love: 10 Crock Pot Recipes You Will Love!

Posted on by

Well, it’s a few weeks into 2013 and, even though the holidays are over, doesn’t it feel like we’re still as busy as ever? I’m tempted to make pretty much everything in the crock pot these days, because it’s just so easy and foolproof. Plus, the majority of food you can make in the crock pot is a lot less fattening, which might help us all out with that New Year’s Resolution we so quickly forgot about (but it’s not too late!)

Giving Tuesday– 10% of sales to be donated to the American Red Cross

Posted on by

Weeks have passed since Hurricane Sandy devastated the shores of New Jersey and the streets of New York City.  Although homes and property remain in shambles in many areas, the strength of those affected by the hurricane and the compassion of those who were more fortunate have not wavered.  In the time since Hurricane Sandy, thousands of donations of food, clothing, and necessities have been collected for the victims of the disaster, but the giving can’t stop there.

Well aware of the extent of Hurricane Sandy’s damage, this Cherry Hill, NJ based business  has decided to donate 10% of sales from hostthetoast.com today (Tuesday, November 27th) to the American Red Cross to aid in the relief efforts for Hurricane Sandy.

Join the effort to help those who have been most affected and get your holiday shopping done at the same time.  As you shop, tweet us at @HostTheToast and include #GivingTuesday to let us (and the world) know how you’re helping the community today.  After all, it is the season of giving.
