Brittany's PantryePantry + An Offer Just For Brittany’s Pantry Readers!

I have great news! The fantastic people at ePantry have been generous enough to create an amazing offer exclusively for Brittany’s Pantry readers – Free method All-Purpose Cleaner, Free $10 Credit, & Free Shipping for first-time orders! Why is this such good news? Let me explain.
I recently tried ePantry, an automatic delivery site and loved it so much that I wanted to share it with all of you! I always appreciate it when my friends tell me about a great product they tried or a special deal going on at a store I love, so why would I keep this awesome discovery to myself?! I find something awesome and am sure to spread the word!
So what is ePantry? They are a online subscription service that only carries all-natural cleaning and personal care products. When I first came across them, the fact that Method products were the first to pop up was an immediate plus for me. I have been a dedicated consumer of all things Method since they first became available and have been purchasing them at my local store. So, I kept searching the site and recognized several of my other favorite products. Seventh Generation, Yes To Carrots, and Tom’s, to name a few. My favorite products paired with the environmentally friendly theme had me digging a bit deeper into the ePantry website, and ever since, I have been hooked. Would you like to know why? Oh good.
This site is incredibly easy to use!
All I had to do was sign up, answer a few questions, and ePantry delivers the products I want at a great price, right to my door. I generally shop sales and I like to clip coupons so I am getting the best price, but ePantry has prices better than the stores every single day. No special coupons or deals required. That is hard to beat. They publish the suggested retail price along with the ePantry price so you know exactly how much you are saving. I kind of love this detail! When I realized that I was able to plan out automatic delivery in advance (thereby ensuring that I never run out of laundry detergent or toilet paper) I immediately began to customize my orders. I planned out what I want to ship and exactly when I want to ship it. The site makes it very easy to adjust and move products to different times based on your needs. This helps me keep my household budget organized and in check too by making it easy to schedule only the things I need exactly when I need them. My box arrived right on time and I may have squealed when I opened it. Is it normal to get that excited about cleaning supplies?
This is my box. I was desperate to stock up on several things and just hadn’t had the time to make it to the store. With the move in progress and our new house finishing up, I knew that I was going to be doing extra laundry (as I unpack clothes and linens) and lots of quick dish washing before I organize and fill my new cupboards. I was worried about how well the liquid products would travel, but ePantry packaged everything great! Extra tape on the pumps and extra bags in case of leaks. Perfect.
This was my total order this time around. I even decided to try something new and getting the Method stainless steel spray. My new house will have all stainless steel appliances and after all the commotion of moving, I figured they were going to need some love. And friends, let me tell ya, this spray smells stupendous! Apple. Mmmm. Most of my order is pretty basic. It is the same trusted products I always buy and always need. That is what is so great about this! It makes the same purchases I make every month so much easier.
But the products and ease of use are the only reasons I love ePantry.
My husband and I continually strive to live our lives as green as we can and this company helps us do that. For each order placed, ePantry donates 25 square feet of rainforest and carbon offsets all shipments and deliveries. In addition, they are a certified B corporation, a process that requires companies to meet-and continue to meet-certain social and environmental performance standards. You can check out all the details of how dedicated ePantry is to preserving the earth by reading about it here.
So back the offer.
Remember the Free method All-Purpose Cleaner, Free $10 Credit, & Free Shipping for first-time orders? Well there are several reasons I am so excited about this. The all purpose cleaner is my go-to spray that I use all over the house (bathroom, kitchen, kids rooms, etc) and I have several bottles stashed away in different rooms. It is what I reach for on a regular basis and the fresh grapefruit scent ensures I don’t have a house that smells like it was hosed down with chemicals. (Yes, the smell of cleaning products matters to me! I like my house to smell like my house, not a sterile hospital.) I have a feeling I am going to to through a whole bottle when setting up my kitchen! I also have several packages of their wood cleaning wipes on hand and I strongly urge you to give them a try! Like all method products, they smell awesome, and they keep our wood furniture in great shape. They are the only product I trust to touch our piano, a treasured, antique piece inherited from my Grandmother!

Cornflake cookies. Have you heard of these?
My Mom made these cookies all the time when I was growing up and they were always one of my favorites. The irresistible crunchiness of the cereal in them is incredibly appealing to a kid, but when I recently tested a batch and served them to a crowd of adults, the response was overwhelming. Apparently, grown-ups like crunchy cereal in their cookies too! I thought that everyone made them until recently when I took a very un-scientific poll and discovered that no one I knew had ever had one before. So I decide to SHARE THEM WITH THE WORLD!
If you are wondering what they are like, imagine a chewy sugar cookie with LOTS of texture. They have just a bit of oatmeal in them to give them a nice heartiness, but the crispy crunch of the cornflakes makes them fun and kind of addictive. Like most cookies, these freeze particularly great so be sure to mix up a double batch and tuck a few away. Snuck into a lunch box for school or nibbled on with a late night cup of tea, they are equally scrumptious for the whole family. Don’t worry. I won’t make you share yours with the world.
Cornflake Cookies
You can use traditional rolled oats in this recipe, but the finer texture of the quick cooking just seems to work better here. To crush the cornflakes, place 1 1/2 cups in a zip top plastic bag and crush with your hands. You don’t want crumbs or powder, so just scrunch them up until there are no big flakes.
3/4 c (1 1/2 sticks) room temperature butter
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 c quick cooking oats
1 c crushed corn flakes (about 1 1/2 c from the box)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and the sugars. Add the egg and vanilla and combine. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Scoop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto a sprayed or parchment lined sheet pan. Flatten slightly with your hands, then bake for 9-10 minutes, or until just golden brown around the edges. Let cookies cool and set on the pan for a few minutes before removing them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
Easy Crockpot Corned Beef & Cabbage
Brittany wrote this on 9 March 2015 beef, carrots, gluten-free, onions, potatoes
I bought a new crockpot today. *sigh* Its a beauty.
It is stainless-steel and black and holds up to 7 quarts of glorious food. At more than double the size of my regular one, it was definitely an overdue purchase. So what was the first thing I made in it? Why, Corned Beef and Cabbage of course! A lot of corned beef and cabbage. The bigger our family gets, the more I need to adjust the portions I plan for when grocery shopping. Hence, this recipe that calls for a 5 lb roast! In a few more years, I’m going to need to upgrade again, but for now, this is perfect for a family of 5 or 6 with extra for leftovers.
With St. Patricks Day just around the corner, adding this to your menu is a must and this version is so darn easy and so simply classic that you will want to make it year round. It is good. Really good. I use minimal ingredients and let the flavors of the beef and the beer do all the seasoning. This is pretty much the most simple way to make this dish, EVER. It is very hands off and you are rewarded with melt in your mouth goodness. Literally. Melt. In. Your. Mouth.
Now if you will excuse me, I am going to go polish my new crockpot.
Easy Crockpot Corned Beef & Cabbage
This recipe is not rocket science so adjust it to what you have. I happened to have a bunch of baking potatoes left so I used those. If you have little round roasting potatoes, those are fine too. A bag of baby carrots to use up? Throw them in. Feel free to add as many veggies as you can fit in the crockpot. It will all cook down.
3 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into 2 inch chunks
1 large onion, sliced
5 large carrots, peeled, trimmed, and halved
1 (4-5 lb) corned beef brisket, including spice packet
1 bottle of beer, preferably something pale
Water to fill the slow cooker
1 small green cabbage, outer leaves discarded
In a large slow cooker, at least 6 quarts, place the potatoes, onion, and carrots in the bottom of the crock. Place the meat on top of the veggies and sprinkle the spice packet over top. Pour in the beer, and add water until it comes up about an inch from the top of the crock, not quite covering the meat. Cut the cabbage in half, cut out the core, and then slice each half into thirds. Place the cabbage around the edges of the meat, snuggling them down into the liquid if you can. Cover, and set the slow cooker on hight for 6-7 hours, or until the cabbage is nicely steamed and the meat starts to shred with a fork. Remove the meat with a tongs to a cutting board and let rest for a minute. With a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the veggies to a platter as well, leaving the liquid in the crock. Slice the meat crosswise, on the bias, in the opposite direction of the grain. Make the slices thin to keep the bites tender, about a half an inch. Serve meat and veggies together!
