Buddy Fruits

Posted by Robin . on Thursday, December 30, 2010, In : Food 
Do you take snacks for your kids when you are on the go? I know, for us, many car rides have been quieter thanks to the snacks I've managed to remember. Not all snacks are great for "on the go", however. Whether it's hopping in the car, headed to the back yard to play or something simple for a lunchbox, some snacks are just not as convenient as others. One snack that my kids love but, only get when seated at the dining room table, is applesauce. The kids and my husband all love applesauce and...

Fiber One and $25 Safeway Card

Posted by Robin . on Tuesday, December 28, 2010, In : Food 
I buy a lot of snacks at the grocery store. Snacks and cereal. Lots of both. Earlier this year I started making a concerted effort to switch to healthier versions of all the foods I buy for my family. Recently, we tried some new granola bars (one of our favorite snacks) and some new cereal that we all loved.

I'm sure you've all seen the commercials that let you know that Fiber One cereals and bars give you at least 35% of your daily value of fiber. What I didn't know was that there is so much...

Michael Angelo's Gourmet Foods GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Posted by Robin . on Sunday, November 14, 2010, In : Food 
I generally cook all of my family's meals from scratch. I enjoy cooking and my husband prefers a home cooked meal. For the most part, he is pretty much against pre-packaged and frozen meals. There has, however, always been one exception. Any time I don't feel like cooking dinner, I know that I can grab a Michael Angelo's frozen lasagna and we'll all be happy.

We've been eating Michael Angelo's frozen meals for years but, quite honestly, I had never paid incredibly close attention to how much ...

Betty Crocker Boxed Instant Mashed Potatoes GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Posted by Robin . on Tuesday, November 2, 2010, In : Food 
I generally make my mashed potatoes from scratch. Let's face it though, sometimes it's nice to have something done quickly and with zero mess. But, what about that homestyle taste, you say? Well, good ol' Betty Crocker saves the day in more ways than cake!



Betty Crocker's Boxed Instant Mashed Potatoes are made with 100% real potatoes and actually taste like homemade mashed potatoes. I love that they come in more than one flavor and I really like that there are two pouches in every box. That m...

Mareblu Naturals GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Posted by Robin . on Monday, October 18, 2010, In : Food 
My husband is constantly searching for snack foods that are healthier than what fill the eye-level shelves of our local grocery stores. He's extremely health conscious and I love that his healthy lifestyle has worn off on myself and our children. When it comes to snackfood, though, I still need some yummy flavor. Luckily, we were recently introduced to Mareblu Naturals.

Mareblu Naturals was started by a parent who, like most of us, was concerned with all the over-processed, pre-packaged, unhe...

Funky Monkey Snacks GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Posted by Robin . on Sunday, September 5, 2010, In : Food 
Do you send fruit in your child's lunch? Take snacks in the car with you? Fruit is always an amazing and healthy snack for all of us but, not always convenient to pack in a lunch or bring along in the car. Even something like a banana or apple produces quite the mess in our car. Fruit cups are chosen often for school lunches but, can still be messy and are definitely not free of sugars and other unhealthy things. But, what do kids like to snack on? Something crunchy! Something fun! Something ...

Snikiddy Snacks - Back to School Top Pick GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Posted by Robin . on Monday, August 23, 2010, In : Food 
We eat a lot of snacks in our house. As a health conscious woman and mom, I love to know that the snacks we are enjoying aren't entirely unhealthy. When I find something that we can snack on and I can feel good about, it's an ultimate score. That's why I have loved Snikiddy Snacks since my family first tried them over a year ago.

Snikiddy Snacks are the result of a mother and daughter team who wanted to give toddlers, kids and adults a healthy snack alternative that actually tastes amazingly d...

Simply...Go-Gurt CLOSED

Posted by Robin . on Monday, May 17, 2010, In : Food 
GIVEAWAYS IS CLOSED

Yogurt is a staple in our house. It's something that we all enjoy and it's good for us. With two busy kids always grabbing a snack and running outdoors, yogurt isn't always the best on-the-run kind of snack, though.

But, I had honestly never bought Go-Gurt until the other day.

And now I'm sure my kids will request it every time we go to the store.

I was incredibly pleased to find a treat that my kids love that has no high fructose corn syrup. It seems those kinds of treats ...

EasyLunchboxes CLOSED

Posted by Robin Haws on Tuesday, April 27, 2010, In : Food 
GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED   

There's been a lot of media attention lately on the school lunches in this country. Personally, I find it somewhat appaling. When I was a kid, taking a lunch to school was not only normal, it was fun. It seems that has changed as less and less kids tote their lunch along with them. Something else that's changed, for the better, is the awareness of the need for something more eco-friendly than the plastic sandwich bags that all of our lunches went in as kids.

EasyLunc...

GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED

In our house, the coffee cup runneth over.

My husband and I are both complete coffee lovers. While we certainly aren't connoisseurs or "coffee snobs", we definitely enjoy a good brew. We have our favorite brands but, we love to try new coffee brews.

Recently, we found a new favorite.

Community Coffee is the largest family-owned retail coffee brand in the U.S, founded over 90 years ago in Louisiana. Steeped in tradition, Community Coffee still remains dedicated to bringing c...

Relish! Meal Planning CLOSED

Posted by Robin Haws on Saturday, November 7, 2009, In : Food 
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED

It's hard to always find something creative and healthy to make for dinner. I cook most all of our meals from scratch. While I have tons of recipes, I also have very picky children. Sometimes I feel like we are eating the same menu week after week. It's definitely a money-saving plan to sit down and make out a menu for the entire week before making your grocery list. This has worked for me for quite a while. Though, this can be plenty time-consuming. I recently tried...

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED

ONE READER WILL WIN A BACKPACK FULL OF CLIF BAR PRODUCTS!

When it comes to snacks for my kids I am often a little stumped. Honestly, it's sometimes difficult to find snacks that they really enjoy that are also healthy. I want to offer them snacks that will do good things for their body while making them super happy to be eating it. I also don't want to break my grocery budget while doing it.

I recently discovered Clif Bar, Clif Kid ZBar and Luna Bars and I'm such a fa...
