The Cascade 24 hour challange and giveaway

I hate doing the dishes. I don't throw around the word hate too much, but I can honestly say that I hate doing the dishes with every fiber of my being! I am beyond thankful that we have a dishwasher. It makes my life as a stay at home mom just that much easier by giving me one less thing to do!
Now if you know me, you know I'm not that great of a cook. I burn things, and leave my dishes out well until the next day. I'm so embarrassed to admit that, but you know I'm not *that* perfect :D

I was given the opportunity to do the Cascade dishsoap 24 hour challenge. I was pretty excited to do this review as it involved dessert! I was sent a lovely baking dish, a recipe for blueberry cobbler, and a package of Cascade Complete All-in-1 Action Pacs to use with the following instructions

* Bake a Blueberry Cobbler.* Enjoy!

* Set the empty baking dish out for 24 hours

* Without rinsing, put it in the dishwasher with Cascade Complete

How perfect :D I had all the supplies needed and baked this delicious dessert. It was awesome, and just what we needed on a cold and rainy day. My sister was visiting, so with her help along with myself, Bill, and Cooper, we finished the cobbler in one night. So that made it easy to begin the challenge. The dish sat out like a centerpiece on my dining room table while we went about our day. I didn't soak it our wipe it out, I just let the cobbler remnants dry out and harden.
Twenty-four hours went by and it was time to get the party started. The dish went in the dishwasher, one Cascade All-in-1 ActionPac went in the dispenser and I closed the door and went on with my evening.
I was kind of nervous. I thought this wouldn't work, especially with my bad luck. I thought my dishwasher would somehow fail me. But no, the dish came out spotless.SPOTLESS!!! This means I can continue on with my lazy ways of not washing my dishes and cleaning up after myself after dinner! Haha, no I won't do that, but I was impressed! We've tried our fair share of dish soap, trying every brand name there is, and Cascade did exactly what it said it would-it conquered tough foods and greasy messes. And just like that, I could focus on enjoying the meal "without having to worry about the clean up". Awesome!
I really encourage you to take the 24 hour challenge too, and try Cascade Complete All-in-1 ActionPacs, you won't be disappointed!
