Walt Disney’s spectacularly CGI animated movie, Tinker Bell, comes out for the first time on DVD and Blu-ray today. Tinker Bell is the first in a series of films released by Disney featuring all the Disney fairies.

After watching several Disney movies back to back, we have to admit that Tinker Bell is definitely our favorite of them all so far. To be honest, we’ve watched Tinker Bell three times already and we’re a family of boys! :)  In Tinker Bell, kids and adults alike will enter the magical world of Pixie Hollow with Tinker Bell and all her fairy friends for a fun-filled movie adventure!

I’m a big fan of cooking with olive oil. However, when I heard about Crisco’s Newest Puritan Canola Oil with Omega-3 DHA I was interested in trying it out. So far I’ve used this to make a cake and fried eggs for our boys. What’s great is that there’s no taste or any noticeable difference in this oil. This is a great way to incorporate Omega-3 DHA fatty acids into your diet! Crisco’s Puritan oil has 32mg of beneficial Omega-3 DHA per serving.

Where To Buy: available in most local grocery stores Prices range from $3.99 to $4.59 for a 16 oz bottle which is a good deal since it takes us a long time use up cooking oil.
