Stuck on Food Stains? Cascade Complete All-in-1 ActionPacs to the Rescue!

"Rub a dub dub..."

Now that I am officially f-unemployed, I've been spending my freetime cooking and baking up a storm in my kitchen. Although making my own meals has been a super fun adventure (and much healthier to boot -- I've already lost two pounds!), I've definitely had a hard time motivating myself to clean up all the pots, pans and plates that get dirty in the process. Most of the time you'll find my kitchen sink filled with this:

Dirty, stuck-on, old dried up foods --YUCK! Luckily, the kind folks at Cascade sent me some of their All-in-1 ActionPacs to help make clean up more efficient (so I have more time to watch my trashy reality TV shows...ermmm I mean to study for my pre-grad school tests).
Cascade Complete All-in-1 ActionPacs break down, dissolve, and rinse away tough food particles, while leaving my hands free and my dishes sparkling. Sound too good to be true? Well check out formerly pictured plate now!
Pretty sweet huh? Now that clean ups a easy breezy, I really have no excuse for eating at home more (my New Year's Resolution...every year).
