Have Your Kids Tried Peter Rabbit Organics New Flavors?

My son really enjoys his Peter Rabbit Organics Fruit Puree Pouches.  So I was thrilled when I was contacted to try out the new flavors!

Sweet Potato, Corn and ApplePea, Spinach and Apple
Carrot, Squash and Apple

 When I found out that the new puree pouches were fruit & veggie flavors I was even more excited!

My son totally refuses to eat vegetables, regardless of what shape, form or flavor I present them to him.  When he was an infant he would eat anything, but ever since he discovered how to close his mouth tight, turn his face away and say "no, no" he has become a bit picky when it comes to meal time.  Of course, I'm always looking for new ways to sneak veggies in his diet without him noticing it.

As you can see my son loves Peter Rabbit Organics new fruit & veggie purees!  I'm a happy mom because I know my son is getting the nutrition, vitamins and veggies that he needs.  My son feels like a big boy because he can feed himself- he'll be 2 soon. When you try the purees you can barely notice the veggie flavor because the fruit masks it.  These fruit & veggie purees contain 100% organic fruit and veggies,  no added sugar or anything artificial.  They don't require refrigeration, so you can take them with you anywhere and if you want later on pop them in the fridge. 

Where to buy!

You can find Peter Rabbit Organics products at certain Starbucks, Babies R' Us and Amazon.

Thomas'® Everything Bagel Thins™ Bagels

I love a good bagel with a yummy cream cheese spread, but the combination can be packed with calories.

I was exited to know that Thomas'® had come out with  Thomas'® Everything Bagel Thins™ Bagels. Not only are they deliciously good-like all Thomas'® products are-, but they are only 110 calories per serving and they come in an 8-pk, 16pk or 24 pk.

My family and I love bagels-mostly whole wheat and cinnamon & raisin!  I love eating bagels with veggie cream cheese or strawberry cream cheese, using them for sandwiches and topping them with scrambled eggs.

Wholly !!!

 My husband and I love to snack on savory things, but often it is difficult to find  snacks that will live up to our expectations in regards to flavor, quality and nutritional value.

I was pleasantly surprised when I was sent a package from Fresherized Foods, which I found on my doorstep when I got back from vacation.

I was even more surprised when I tried out the products that came in the package. 

This has got to be the best guacamole that I have ever tried!  I am not kidding you when I say that it tastes like someone just made it from scratch in their kitchen.  It has a subtle hint of garlic and tastes so fresh.  We ate ours with chips, while a friend of my husband was in town to catch a game with my hubby. 

My husband loved this guacamole so much that the week after we had finished up our 2-7 oz packages of Wholly Guacamole he went out and bought a pack. That's how good it was!

See this RECIPE

This Wholly Queso Dip is unlike any other I've tasted.  It is not only made out of cheese, but it also has bits and pieces of vegetables.  I love the texture; it's very light but packed with a lot of fresh taste!

                                                   Interested in a recipe?

My husband's friend thought this was home-made salsa because it was lightly chunky and had such a great fresh taste.  He should know because he grows vegetables and happens to make his own salsa.

                                                        Check out this recipe!                                                                                          

My husband and I are hooked on Wholly products!  I'm sure if you try them you will become hooked as well!

Have you tried any of these products?

Wings of Nature Bars: Review& Giveaway {CLOSED}

My husband is a grad school student and he is always on the go. It's important for us to make sure that he always carries around healthy, but at the same time, yummy snacks.

No refined sugar added, trans fat free, gluten free

That's where Wings of Nature™ by Fresh Harvest Products comes in!

I was sent 3 bars to try out:
Cranberry Crunch, Almond Raisin and Espresso Coffee.

 My husband's favorite was the Espresso Coffee bar. It had a deep rich roasted coffee flavor combined with nutty goodness.  

Both the Cranberry Crunch and Almond Raisin were excellent! I loved the combination of all the seeds and nuts with the fruit. I'm not big on bars because I tend to find them too on the sweet side, but these bars had the right amount of sweetness in them.

Any of these three bars would make for a smart, sweet & savory, good wholesome snack on the go.

Ingredients  

{almond raisin bar}

Sesame Seeds, rasins, agave syrup, sunflower seeds, almonds, rice syrup, crisp brown rice, pumpkin seeds

I love that anyone that reads the label will be able to recognize all of the ingredients.  Everything is certified organic, so you know no yucky pesticides and chemicals have come in contact with the used ingredients.

Auntie Anne's At-Home Baking Kit

 I like to bake but don't get to do it from scratch, so I was excited to receive an Auntie Anne’s Baking Kit.

{Don't let the image fool you because there are many RECIPES that you can make with this baking kit.  For example: monkey bread, apple dumplings, dessert pizza and many more }

{What you get in the kit: dough mix, dry yeast, baking powder, salt, cinammon sugar } 

My wrapped dough ball resting in a warm place so it could rise.  I didn't have cooking spray so I used butter instead, a little bit too much I would say.

Since I'm relatively new to baking I decided to make good ol' fashion pretzels! I did everything by myself and found it to be quite fun. The whole process was a bit messy, but the end product was tasty.

I made eight (8) pretzels total, although I could've made ten (10) if I had used less dough.  I made one (1) salty pretzel and the rest were coated with a litle coat of melted butter and loads of cinammon sugar.



Mine didn't turn out too pretty, but they tasted great. I ate one, my son ate a tiny piece and my husband took the rest to school with him so he and his learning team could snack on them.

I would definitely purchase this kit for a special ocassion like a birthday party or get together, only that next time I would bake monkey bread instead!

The Best Chips I ever Ate!

I’m not really a big fan of chips, mostly because they are one of the following: too salty, too greasy or too unhealthy.

All of that changed when I found these wonderful Baked Lentil Chips.  I can’t even begin explaining but I’ll give it my best!  These chips are made from a combination of different beans.  They are perfectly seasoned with a light hint of sea salt.  They have a low sodium content-compared to every other chip out there, so they don’t leave your mouth dry screaming for water.  These chips are not even lightly greasy.  They are all natural- and gluten free.  You can eat them straight from the bag or with dip.  The bag comes with a hummus recipe on the back.  The best thing of all is that these chips have 70% less fat than regular potato chips.

These chips are so good that if it weren’t for my husband I’d eat the whole bag myself!

We get our 4.5 oz bag of chips from Marshall’s for $2.99!

Have you ever tried them?
