Favorite Things Kitchen Edition: SodaStream and GIVEAWAY

Welcome to the first installment of
Favorite Things: Kitchen Edition!
I am starting with one of my most FAVORITE THINGS EVER.
This is a necessity on my house...seriously!

The SodaStream Home Soda Maker

AND
I am giving one away,
thanks to the awesome people at SodaStream!
____________________________________________________________________


Last year for our wedding anniversary, hubby and I bought a SodaStream.
We had been wanting one and figured the time was right!


My kids were thrilled...they were fascinated.
I think they thought they would be drinking soda all day long....
that did not happen. I won't lie,
I wish I could drink soda all day long...but I don't.

The main reason we purchased the SodaStream was to make our own carbonated water - a.k.a. fizzy water. We were going through at least one bottle a day...
lots of money when you add it up (and lots of waste too!).

We started using that SodaStream the night we brought it home
and have used it every day since we bought it.
We make a bottle of fizzy water every day.
And yes, my kids do get to make soda...not all the time,
but they love it as a treat and they love to make it when we have guests.


SodaStream has an amazing variety of soda flavors and syrups:
Good old favorites like Cola and Cherry Cola,
Sparkling Naturals like Black Currant Pear,
MyWater Essence Flavors and
even including Crystal Light and Country Time flavors. 

They taste amazing!
No joke...I need a T-shirt that says
"I (heart) SodaStream."
My raves have even convinces many a friend to purchase a SodaStream too!

Here is how it works...
it assembles in seconds, pop in the carbonator
screw the bottle in, push the button to add the carbonation and your favorite soda flavor...and presto you have soda!



Seriously...that easy
Just want fizzy water, skip the soda flavor.
And guess what in the year we have had the SodaStream...
we are only on our 3rd cartridge.
When a carbonator is out, just take it to the store in your area 
(you exchange it and buy a new one) or order a carbonator kit online.

OK, now to the good stuff.
Here is what

My grandkids are always over and expect Nana to have something good to eat and drink ...... so this would be a life saver for me. Pineapple Grapefruit sounds refreshing. Thank you for your post.

  22. Black currant and pear...I love Black currant and so may never bother to try anything else...maybe for my kids. LOL. My husband wants to try this with his Ginger Beer recipe to provide the carbonation instead of using the starter. He thinks it would be faster and more consistent.
