Prince playing with the Kong Wobbler.

Our Thoughts:

We received the large sized Kong Wobbler for our dog. We used this treat dispensing toy with our large dog, Prince. We followed the directions and waited when he was hungry to try the Kong Wobbler out. He was fairly interested in the whole process and what we were doing. We tried some small treats at first that we had around the house that would easily fit through the opening. The toy was simple to fill.

We then showed Prince the Wobbler in action and how it worked. He got pretty excited when it released the treats onto the floor. Then he decided it was his turn to try and nudged it with his nose. It wobbled back and forth and he jumped back in enthusiasm. It was highly enjoyable for the whole family to watch! My daughters were giggling uncontrollably at the sight.

The Kong Wobbler is a great toy for dogs! It helps your pup get both physical and mental exercise. We recommend the Kong Wobbler to anyone with dogs. Chewy.com is a great place to find the Kong Wobbler and other great items for dogs and cats!

With Valentine's Day around the corner, finding healthy treats that won't give kids cavities or bellyaches can be hard.

Keep Healthy Snack Bars Review

I homeschool, but still love to have snacks on hand at home and traveling when my family members get a little peckish. I try to find snacks that are healthy and wholesome, but sometimes I cave into my cravings and the kids want for sugary sweets and unhealthy confections. I am only human! Fortunately I was given the opportunity to try something in the snack food world that is good for my family.

Keep Healthy Inc. is a company that produces healthy snack bars. Their bars have no artificial ingredients or preservatives. The ingredient list on each bar is short and sweet. Every ingredient is pronounceable and fairly simple! All of their bars are gluten free, Non-GMO, kosher, and made in the USA. They also do not use refined sugar or high fructose syrup - just fruit and nuts. I love that these are easily packed in a lunch or on-the-go snack when we have field trips and outings. There are 6 different types of bars including: Original Date Bars, Chocolate Covered Date Bars, Original Fruitkies Bars, Chocolate Fruitkies Bars, Organic Protein Bars, and Organic Low Glycemic Bars. Keep Healthy is also a proud sponsor of the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation. 2% of sales are donated with a minimum donation of $10,000 in 2016/2017.

Some of the Keep Healthy variety of snack bars.

Keep Healthy Inc. sent me a variety pack of 16 individually wrapped bars to try. In it each bar was a different flavor...so as you can imagine I didn't have time to try them all. Every bar I did sample (which was actually quite a few) was really yummy though.

The Original Date Bars have a base of dates, the fruit superfood that is high in fiber and antioxidants. Dates are also great for anti-inflamatory benefits.These are all gluten, dairy, and GMO free. Includes 4 delicious varieties to try including: Apple Walnut, Apricot Coconut, Cashew Date, and Pecan Date. I loved the Apple Walnut one the most from this section.

The Keep Healthy Chocolate Covered Apricot Coconut Date Bar is my absolute favorite!!

The Chocolate Covered Date Bars are their original date bars covered in dairy free chocolate. Includes four delicious varieties to try: Chocolate Covered Apple Walnut, Chocolate Covered Apricot Coconut, Chocolate Covered Cashew Date, and Chocolate Covered Pecan Date. I love chocolate, so these were my favorites out of the date bars and my absolute favorite was the Chocolate Covered Apricot Coconut.

The Original Fruitkies Bars have only three kinds of ingredients: fruit, nuts, and brown crisps. These are in their health bar section because the sugar is lower than the snack bars. Still they are sweet enough to gratify the hankering for other things. These come in 9 delicious flavors which include: Blueberry Pecan, Cherry Fig, Cherry Walnut, Cranberry Pumpkinseed, Macadamia Date, Mango Almond, Papaya Cashew, Pineapple Coconut, and Strawberry Apple. I love the Pineapple Coconut and Mango Almond one. So delicious!

The Chocolate Fruitkies Bars are better for you than any regular candy bar or cookie. They are so luscious and guilt free! They come in 8 flavors including: Chocolate Covered Apricot, Chocolate Covered Blueberry, Chocolate Covered Cherry, Chocolate Covered Cranberry, Chocolate Covered Mango, Chocolate Covered Papaya, Chocolate Covered Pineapple, and Chocolate Covered Strawberry. I got to try the pineapple and mango one. Both were really yummy!

The Organic Protein Bars are new to the Keep Healthy Health Bar collection. Each provide 15 grams of plant based protein.These are a great to replenish protein right after a workout. These are also USDA organic as well. There are 6 flavors including: Almond Vanilla Crisp, Apple Cinnamon Crisp, Chocolate Cherry Crunch, Chocolate Coconut, Chocolate Fudge, and Strawberry Banana Crisp. I love the Apple Cinnamon Crisp the most out of the ones I received.

Delbin enjoying the Keep Healthy Banana Nut Organic Low Glycemic Bar.

My oldest son, Delbin, has Type 1 Diabetes, so when he has a low blood sugar I like to have healthy snacks on hand that will supply him with the proper things he needs. I hate having only sugar-filled or overly processed snacks to offer him. Keep Healthy Bars have the perfect bars for his low blood sugars and they also have Organic Low Glycemic Bars that won't radically change his blood glucose levels. These particular bars help him be fueled with all natural, plant based ingredients and keep his blood sugar stable. Besides diabetics watching their levels, these bars are great for Great for: busy lifestyles, the sugar conscious, weight management, and before or after a workout (12 grams of plant based protein!).There are 5 different flavors of the Low Glycemic Bars including: Banana Nut, Chocolate Cherry Mint, Coconut Crunch, Lemon Zest, and Sea Salt Brownie. My favorite of these was the Coconut Crunch and Lemon Zest.

Keep Healthy Snack Bar Varieties.

I love these snack and health bars. Keep Healthy Inc. offers a wonderful variety of yummy flavors that you are sure to love. These are perfect to satisfy those cravings and energize you throughout the day. They are the perfect snack without the guilt and great to refuel your kids for an after school snack or brain food if you homeschool.

Easter Basket Goodies with Welch's Easter and Go Organically Fruit Snacks - Review

I received Welch's Fruit Snacks and Go Organically Fruit Snacks for free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

When I look down the Easter aisle of the grocery stores and super markets I am really disappointed to see so many items that I would never buy for my kids. Most of these are pure sugar candies that have very little to offer in the way of healthy ingredients. If you are health conscious like me you would rather buy your kids wholesome snacks and other items to go in their Easter Baskets rather than candy.

There are two different kinds of fruit snacks I will be adding to my kids' Easter Baskets this year. The first is the limited edition Welch's Easter Fruit Snacks. The second is the Go Organically Fruit Snacks.

Welch's Easter Fruit Snacks

Welch's Easter Fruit Snacks come in an Easter themed box of 28 pouches or a Easter themed bag of 22 pouches, having 45 calories per pouch. The Welch's Easter Fruit Snacks have fun shapes which include a Chick, Egg, Flower and Bunny. These are now made with even more real fruit. They are an excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of Vitamins A & E. They are fat free and gluten free with no preservatives and low sodium. The Easter fruit snacks come in Mixed Fruit flavor. Welch's® Fruit Snacks have 11 different varieties.

These are kid pleasing with their adorable shapes and yummy fruity taste. These are perfect for filling Easter Baskets and stuffing Easter Eggs with. I love that real fruit puree is the first ingredient in these. I do wish that they didn't use artificial colors and modified ingredients though.

Go Organically Tropical Fruit Snacks

Go Organically Fruit Snacks come in Tropical, Fruit Medley, and Mixed Berry flavors. They come in boxes of 8 pouches. They are all USDA-certified organic, GMO free, and gluten free. They are made with real fruit purees, real fruit juices, natural flavors, and colors from natural sources with no preservatives. They provide 100% of the recommended daily value of Vitamin C per serving (one pouch) and are an excellent source of Vitamins A & E.

This is my first time trying the Go Organically Fruit Snacks. I received the Tropical flavor to try. I love the pineapple and grapefruit flavors the best. These are delicious and even though they are not as bright in color as the other fruit snacks they are just as yummy. I love that they are organic and GMO free! These are also great for filling Easter Baskets and stuffing Easter Eggs with. I will definitely be buying these if I can find them.

Celebrating National Strawberry Day with Welch's Strawberry Fruit Snacks Review and Giveaway

I received product for free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

Did you know that my absolute favorite berry is the strawberry? Well it is! I have them growing in my yard and two of the plants I planted last year now fill a whole garden bed that each year gets these luscious, juicy fruit all over them. Strawberries are such a wonderful fruit! National Strawberry Day is coming up on February 27th and to celebrate I received 2 boxes of Welch's® Strawberry Fruit Snacks to share with my family and my readers who win in the giveaway below!

Welch's® Fruit Snacks are Fat Free, Gluten Free, and contain No Preservatives.  They provide 100% of the recommended daily value of Vitamin C and 25% of Vitamins A and E. Welch's® Fruit Snacks have 11 different varieties.

The Welch's® Fruit Snacks are great on-the-go or after school/homeschool snacks! We love to take them everywhere because they store and travel well. I also love serving my kids these healthier snacks for a tasty treat because they are better than some of the alternatives out there.

My kids and I love how the Welch's® Strawberry Fruit Snacks taste and the bonus vitamins are a plus! They are gummy and chewy, but not overly so. I do wish that they didn't have Red dye number 40 and modified ingredients in them though. The strawberry flavor is made from actual fruit puree (strawberry and grape) and it tastes much like the strawberry fruit.

WONKA Peel-a-Pop Frozen Dessert Pops Review #GotItFree #wonkapop

My girls with the WONKA™ PEEL-A-POP™ promotional items we received with the coupons.

We received these products free from BzzAgent to facilitate this review.

We received these items in our BzzKit:

• A coupon for a FREE (up to $4.49) 8-count box of WONKA^™ PEEL-A-POP^™ frozen dessert pops, redeemable at the local Kroger Co. store
• A Wonka-fied whistle to let kids know when they can come running for a peelable pop
• A WONKA^™ branded beach ball and pair of sunglasses for outdoor summer fun
• $1-off coupons to share with other parents who also shop at The Kroger Co. Family of Stores
• A postcard explaining what to do with all the wacky items in my BzzKit

WONKA™ PEEL-A-POP™ frozen dessert pops are a great summer snack! At only 70 calories per pop this whimsical treat won't make you feel guilty. We also liked these because at 13g total carbohydrates per pop these are great for my diabetic son as well! Did you know that the WONKA™ brand made more than just candy?

Your kids will go bananas for these frozen dessert pops because they are both tasty and fun to eat. The WONKA™ PEEL-A-POP™ comes in two yummy varieties: vanilla grape and vanilla banana. What is super about these is that they can be peeled like a banana, but you can also eat the peel! To eat all you have to do is bite into it at the top, peel the outer coating like a banana, and enjoy.

WONKA™ PEEL-A-POP™  vanilla grape flavor, peeled.

The combination of the peel and frozen pop are actually pretty good together. The peel is an interesting gummy gelatinous texture and even though it gets a little slimy on the outside as it warms up, it peels easily. My kids didn't have any problem with it being messy. Although the peel was fun and it added uniqueness to this product some of my kids didn't like the weird texture of it. It also has an inside that tastes very similar to frozen vanilla pudding. We tried the grape flavor and it was rather good in my opinion. My kids certainly enjoyed their experience eating them up.

Monkeying around eating  WONKA™ PEEL-A-POP™.

You can find NEW WONKA™ PEEL-A-POP™ frozen dessert pops in the ice cream aisle at The Kroger Co. Family of Stores. We only found the grape variety at our local Fred Meyer, so we didn't get to try the banana flavor. Others have found both varieties though easily.

Each 8-count box retails for a suggested price of $4.49.

DISCLOSURE/DISCLAIMER: Because I am a member of BzzAgent I received word of a BzzCampaign for the WONKA™ PEEL-A-POP™ products. I received these products free to facilitate my review. All information about the products I received from the media kit, the products and the WONKA™ website. My thoughts are mine and my family's own opinion and have not been altered by anyone else.

Nabisco belVita Soft Baked Breakfast Biscuit Review and Guest Post: Easing Stress During the Busy Back to School Season

I received these products for free to facilitate this review.

Nabisco belVita Soft Baked Breakfast Biscuits are a new tasty treat that is wonderful for a grab and go breakfast! They are also wonderful for an after school snack. These come in two flavors: Oats & Chocolate and Mixed Berry. They have 20% daily fiber, 11g whole grain per 50g serving, good source of B-vitamins which help convert food into energy, and only 7g of fat. These contain NO: high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils, or artificial flavors or sweeteners.

These soft baked biscuits are so yummy! I loved the Oats & Chocolate one the best myself, but the Mixed Berry one was very good too. These are extra crumbly so make sure to eat over a plate or napkin so you don't lose any morsel of goodness. I recommend these to anyone needing a quick easy breakfast!

Below I have included some great tips to help parents get ready for the Back to School Season from the Lifestyle Mom, Dana Hilmer...

Easing Stress during the Busy Back to School Season Soon families everywhere will be getting back in the school year routine.:

1. It’s important to schedule down time for you and your family. Before signing your kids up for this year’s after-school activities, think about your family’s priorities and the impact each activity will have on your schedules.
2. It’s just as important for you to have a tasty, healthy breakfast as it is for your kids. Perfect for eating on the go, belVita Soft Baked Breakfast Biscuits come in two varieties, Mixed Berry and Oats & Chocolate, grab a banana and a latte and you’re good to go with nutritious morning energy. 
3. Take a little time each night to get organized for the following morning. By making lunches and selecting outfits before bed each night, you’ll free time each morning for other things. 
4. Be sure to keep healthy snacks in the kitchen for after-school snacking. Nuts, crackers and fruit are great to give kids right when they walk in the door to keep them from grazing on unhealthy snacks, or spoiling their appetites for dinner. 
5. Moms often complain about not having enough time for themselves, but when life gets busy, it’s even more important to carve out that time. Treat “me time” as a priority. 
6. Start a to-do list with three sections: the priority of the day for yourself, the priority of the day for your family and the priority of the day for your work. Start with these items, and only move on to other less important items once they’re done. 
7. Use Sunday nights to plan your dinners each week. If you take a few minutes to think about how you can creatively use the leftovers from one night to the next, you can create a full week’s worth of healthy, tasty dinners that your family will enjoy. 
8. Give yourself the freedom to say no without guilt. Activities or commitments that may not be right for your family are okay to decline. Saying NO gives you the permission to say YES to things that are important to you. 
9. Back-to-school season is also cold and flu season. You can keep your entire family healthy with these simple habits: eating well, getting enough rest and washing hands regularly. 
10. Create a network of support for yourself. This network looks different for everyone. Consider asking your partner and kids for support. They can be a great help with tasks you feel comfortable handing over.

Lunchables JR. Review and Play Date

We received products free from Kraft Foods and Crowdtap to facilitate this review.

You may remember Lunchables from when you were a kid and begged your parents to buy them. I know I did. Lunchables now have come a long way since then and have much healthier choices to pick from. Sure they still have the cold pizza, but it has wholegrain crust now and they also have Lunchables with sub sandwiches! They also have added bottled spring water, fruit smoothie, apple sauce, sugar-free Jell-O, and 100% juice to the meals.

New to Lunchables are Lunchables JR. These snacks are made with little kids in mind and are great for ages 3+. They are great for kids that have a lot of energy all the time. These are easy to whip out in between meals for a great snack when little bellies get growly. Also great as an after school snack too!

 Lunchables JR. lunch combinations have 4 different awesome flavors:

• Ants on a Log: Peanut Butter, SUN-MAID® Raisins, and Honey Graham Sticks
• Blueberry Bonanza: Cheez-It® Baked Snack Crackers, Blueberry-Flavored Dried Apple Pieces, and Mini NILLA Wafers
• Teddy Bear Picnic: Peanut Butter, Dried Apple Pieces, and TEDDY GRAHAMS Honey Graham Snacks - Naturally Flavored
• Very Berry Crunch: Mini RITZ BITS Cheese Cracker Sandwiches, Strawberry-Flavored Dried Apple Pieces, and TEDDY GRAHAMS Honey Graham Snacks

Zari and her play mates taste testing Lunchables JR.

We received Blueberry Bonanza and Teddy Bear Picnic to try out. Zari and her little friends had a play date and tried the snacks out while having an indoor picnic. They enjoyed all the combinations, but the creamy peanut butter, TEDDY GRAHAMS Honey Graham Snacks, and Mini NILLA Wafers were the first to go. Zari loved everything there, but since we had dried a bunch of fruit ourselves from harvest she and her little friends were not quite in the mood for the dried apples pieces (which didn't have the crunch our dried fruit has) and left them for the very last. The girls got thirsty with these though and so I had to break out the 100% juice from Capri Sun®. We think that it would be great if they added a drink to the package so that not only the hunger of little bellies ceases, but thirst does too.

Girls polishing off the creamy peanut butter and getting a much needed thirst quencher to go with the Lunchables JR.

Calbee Harvest Snaps Snapea Crisps and Lentil Snaps Review

 We received a package of each flavor of Harvest Snaps free to facilitate this review.

When my lovely daughter Tatiana was still with us she loved to eat salty snacks. In fact salty snacks were one of only a small handful of items she would eat. She had a condition called Diabetes Insipidus a.k.a. Water Diabetes, among other things. This condition made her crave salty things. We would try to find things that she would eat that were also moderately healthy and one of the items she loved was Calbee's Snapea Crisps. She just couldn't get enough of them. I can just hear her cute little voice saying, "more!", and see her red ringlets dancing around her big blue eyed grin.

Fast forward to now and Calbee has re-branded to include more of a variety with the name Harvest Snaps and along with peas they now also offer lentils. The packaging has also gotten a makeover. These baked, not fried, salty snacks are better for you than a lot of other salty snacks out there and they now come in 6 delicious flavors! These are sourced from US & Canadian farms and are made with non-GMO Canola/Sunflower oil. Made of 70% pea, the Snapea Crisps have 4 varieties: Lightly Salted, Caesar, Black Pepper and Wasabi Ranch. Made of 65% lentil bean, the Lentil Snaps have a total of two flavors: Tomato Basil and Onion Thyme.

Compared to regular potato chips these have:

• less fat and sodium
• higher levels of protein and fiber
• gluten-free (Harvest Snaps are made in a facility that also manufactures products containing wheat, milk, soy, shrimp and fish.)
• lower glycemic index
• more vitamin B

I love that these are super crunchy and guilt-free. My favorite of the Snapea Crisps are the original Caesar flavor and the new Wasabi Ranch! I also love both Lentil Snaps. I hope they come out with more flavors! These are so yummy and sooooooooooooo addictive. My husband's favorite was the Black Pepper and the Wasabi Ranch ones. My kids loved all of them, but seemed to like the Black Pepper one the least. They are a bit greasy too and the salt sticks to your fingers when you eat them, so have a napkin nearby. This salty, crunchy snack definitely satisfies my munchies. These make an great addition to lunch boxes and after school snacks! They are also wonderful thrown in a salad for an extra crunch or dipped in dressing or plain yogurt.

Some of their snacks are even USDA Certified Organic. The USDA defines 1/4 cup of freeze-dried fruit as 1 serving of fruit and Funky Monkey Snacks have 3 servings of fruit in every bag. The fruit used are sliced into full slices instead of diced and contain more nutrients than regular dried fruits because no heat or cooking was involved in the process of making them.

These snacks were really good and my kids and I enjoyed them. They have an awesome crunch that is very unique. My favorites were the JiveALime and Applemon. My kids loved those and the MangOJ the best. These are great to take on trips and are so convenient and portable! They can be taken anywhere to be eaten.

Below I have included some great tips from the CEO of Funky Money Snacks...

Don’t Let Healthy Living Take a Vacation This Summer
Matt Herzog, CEO of Funky Monkey Snacks

As school lets out and summer begins, family trips, camp and lots of free time can mean a more lax eating schedule and menu for kids. How can parents keep them on track during carefree summer activities? Below, Matt Herzog, father and CEO of healthy snack company, Funky Monkey Snacks, gives some tips on this topic:

1. Don’t forget breakfast! It’s easy to forget about this meal when kids get up during the summer and head outside to play immediately. Have quick options on hand, such as oatmeal, yogurt, non-sugary cereal or whole grain toast with peanut butter. 
2. Try to stay on a schedule. Even though the regimented hours of school are no longer present, try to serve meals at approximately the same time they would have been eaten during the school year. This helps prevent unnecessary snacking and allows the family to plan ahead and spend mealtimes together. This also means that it’s good to still have a set bedtime, even if a bit later, so that everyone is getting plenty of rest. 
3. When traveling with children, make sure to pack plenty of healthy snacks to have on hand in case you get stuck in traffic, at the airport or someplace where healthy eating options are limited. Funky Monkey Snacks are a great option of course, but also pre-cut vegetables, whole grain crackers or homemade trail mix will also do the trick. 
4. Buy personalized water bottles for each child (with their favorite character, sports team, color, etc). This show of personality will help each child want to drink more water – a must for hot summer days. Plus, the individuality will prevent mix-ups about which bottle belongs to which child. 
5. Limit screen time and find fun activities outside. Movies, television, iPads and video games are all fun, but take advantage of the weather! Start a family garden and let your children choose what to plant so they are invested in helping it grow. Take walks, find hiking trails, bike to get frozen yogurt. Go to the beach and bring the Frisbee. The bottom line is that even though summer should be filled with fun activities and some treats, it should not be an excuse to drop all the rules, or back-to-school time will be an even bigger hassle! Maintaining a sense of schedule, while throwing in fun, summer-specific activities and trips is the perfect recipe for a healthy and harmonious summer together.

G.H. Cretors Popped Corn Review

I received a variety sample pack free to facilitate this review.

If you have a mother in your household that loves popcorn consider getting her GH Cretors popped corn for Mother's Day. GH Cretors is all-natural and gourmet popped corn. Each batch is popped the good old fashioned way, by hand in copper kettles! They come in these flavors: Chicago Mix, Caramel, Caramel Nut Crunch, Cheddar Cheese, and Kettle corn. A 5ct variety sample pack containing one of each flavor is under $20, available at ghcretors.com.

GH Cretors has been around for a while..."It all began in 1885 when Great Grandpa Cretors invented the popcorn machine and our family began perfecting the art of popping corn. His modern machine appeared at the Chicago Columbian Exposition in 1893, and for five generations we’ve been following in his corn-popping footsteps, taste-testing recipes around our kitchen table."

Variety Sample pack includes:

• 6.5oz bag of Chicago Mix
• 6.5oz bag of Just the Cheese Corn
• 7oz bag of Kettle Corn
• 8oz bag of Just the Caramel Corn
• 8oz bag of Caramel Nut Crunch

All Natural…Naturally!

• They use Brown Rice Syrup (not corn syrup)
• No artificial flavors or colors
• No gluten ingredients
• Made with fresh creamery butter
• They use natural sweeteners
• They use locally grown Non-GMO popcorn
• Certified Kosher

These were all very good and since they were all natural and GMO free I didn't at all regret giving them to my family to snack on. All were large and fluffy popped kettle corn that has a great crunch at first and then melts in your mouth. These are great to have on movie night with the family, on the go, or anytime for a healthy snack food alternative.

My favorite was the Caramel Nut Crunch. This had yummy whole roasted almonds and cashews added to the sweet crunch of the caramel corn. I love both of those nuts so much better than peanuts and the caramel corn was so creamy and buttery. My next favorite was the caramel corn and then the Chicago Mix which was something I had never had before. The Chicago Mix is caramel corn and cheddar corn put in one bag together. The mix was very interesting, but also very addicting. My family devoured the kettle corn and its wonderful both sweet and salty taste. The cheese corn was my daughter, Teela's favorite. She loved the rich cheddar cheese taste in every mouthful. My kids couldn't keep their hands out of the bags when they were opened and brought out to munch on. The bags of GH Cretors popped corn disappeared very quickly and after they were gone my whole family craved more.

BUY IT
A 5ct variety sample pack containing one of each flavor is under $20, available at ghcretors.com. They also have 12 packs of a certain flavor for under $40.

Newman's Own Organics Treats and Snack Food Review and Giveaway

When Nell Newman and business partner Peter Meehan started Newman’s Own® Organics: The Second Generation® in 1993, they were sure there was a market for organic snack foods, but they couldn’t have anticipated just how fast the demand for their products would grow. What started with pretzels and grew to include other snack foods has now expanded to many other organic items: coffee, tea, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, organic dried fruit, and pet food. The partners anticipate adding a number of new items each year in all these areas. Newman’s Own® Organics’ products meet all the requirements of the USDA’s National Organic Program.

The sale of Newman’s Own Organics products generates money for the Newman’s Own Foundation to give away. Since 1982 Paul Newman and the Newman’s Own Foundation have donated more than $350 million dollars to educational and charitable organizations worldwide.

Our Thoughts:
We received a large box of snack foods and treats from Newman’s Own® Organics. The company was so generous in giving us a large selection of their products to try out for free for this review. The box was packed full with all sorts of wonderful looking snacks and treats. When my kids saw me open the box they all got wide eyed and excited.

We really love organic food because of it being healthier and try to buy it when ever we can. Organic snacks and treats seem like they are harder to find, but when they are found they usually turn out to be a treasure. We hadn't seen the products from Newman’s Own® Organics in the stores, so this was a real treat. We tried all the the many things they sent us and everything tasted yummy, but like everything we did have our favorites. We are now going to search out our local grocery store to see if they carry our favorites and if they don't we will be requesting they do.

Cookies
The first things we tried from the box were their Family Recipe Cookies. We received two of their flavors to try out: Chocolate Chip and Double Chocolate Chip. These were really good and among my favorites. They were small, but packed with flavor and chewy chocolatey goodness. These also come in resealable bags with a tape tab so they are great to travel with. These come in: Chocolate Chip, Orange Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate Chip, Ginger Snaps and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip.

Then we tried their chocolate flavored Alphabet Cookies and these were small crunchy squares with ABCs on them. My kids loved these and the older ones loved trying to spell things out with the handful of them they took out of the bag. My 4 year old daughter, Teela, immediately started singing the alphabet song while munching the cookies :) These also come in Vanilla and Cinnamon Graham.

We received both the Ginger-O's and Newman-O's. They both have creamy filling sandwiched inside two round crunchy cookies. The Ginger-O's have a wonderful ginger taste...I only wish the ginger was stronger because I love ginger! The Newman-O's we received were the chocolate creme filled chocolate cookies. These cookies also come in these flavors: Original, Peanut Butter, Chocolate, Hint O' Mint Ginger 'n' Cream and Wheat Free Dairy Free. They are best when dipped in a glass of milk, in my opinion.

Hermits are another of my favorites. We received the original flavored ones. These cookies are soft and shaped more like cookie bars. These cookies are filled with plump delicious organic raisins and sweetened with organic molasses. These spice cookies have a wonderful flavor. My husband and I hope Newman’s Own® Organics makes more cookies similar to these because we loved their moist, soft texture. These come in: Original, Cinnamon, and Ginger.

Pretzels
We received both their salted Pretzel Rods and traditional Pretzel Thins. These are both a wonderful salty snack. The rods seemed to hold together better than the thins since the thins were mostly broken in the packaging. The rods were thick and easy to hold one at a time in a little ones hand like Zari. The thins were pretzel shaped, thinner and crunchier than the rods. The rods were more flaky of a crunch and very yummy too. These come in: Salted - Rounds, Sticks, Thins, Rods; Unsalted Rounds, Spelt, High Protein, Mighty Mini, Honey Wheat and Thin Sticks.

Dried Fruit
We got to try their dried cranberries. We loved their sweet tangy flavor. These are infused with organic cane sugar and lightly coated with organic sunflower oil. I thought these were better than their non-organic counterparts. I think I will try to find these in my local grocery store so that I can make some cranberry white chocolate oatmeal cookies or some Cranberry Bliss Bars. These also have a resealable zipper pouch to keep them fresh. They also have: Raisins, Pitted Prunes, Apples, Apricots and a Berry Blend.

Chocolate Bars
We received three of their luscious chocolate bars to review. These are all premium organic chocolate. The Espresso Dark Chocolate has organic ground coffee in the chocolate and 54% cocoa. This is so yummy especially for the coffee lover. The Orange Dark Chocolate has natural orange flavor in the chocolate and 54% cocoa. It smells and tastes like one of those delicious chocolate oranges you get during the holidays. The Super Dark Chocolate has 70% cocoa and is richer than the others. I personally loved all of them because I am a huge chocolate fan...but who isn't?! I get so many cravings for chocolate during the week that I need some of these bars stashed away where my kids can not find them. The chocolate bars come in: Dark Chocolate, Super Dark Chocolate 70% Cocoa, Mocha Milk Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Espresso Dark Chocolate and Orange Dark Chocolate. I think they should do a mint one and one with bits of crystallized ginger in it.

Chocolate Cups
We received three of their wonderful chocolate cups to review. The Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cups were my favorite of the three. They reminded me of a peppermint patty except with a crunchier chocolate outer shell in the cup shape. I also loved the Dark Chocolate Caramel Cups which had the gooey, creamy caramel center that oozed out into my mouth. Yummy! The last ones were Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and since I am not much of a peanut butter fan (unless I get cravings...which do occasionally happen) these were not my preferred chocolate cups. These come in: Peanut Butter in Dark Chocolate or Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate Peppermint and Caramel cup in either Dark Chocolate or Milk Chocolate.

Licorice
We received three of their delicious licorice twists to review. I love licorice and have ever since I was a little girl. Their Sour Apple and Sour Cherry flavors were my favorite. They have organic sugar and sour crystals, derived from natural citrus sources, on the surface of the twists. These are sour and sweet at the same time and so yummy! Although they do get sticky with the little ones. Last we tried the Pomegranate. This is such a unique flavor for licorice, but I really liked it. These come in: Sour Strawberry, Sour Cherry, Sour Mango and Sour Apple, Black, Strawberry and Pomegranate. I think I need to find the other sour flavors to try because all sound so good.

Mints
These come in pretty decorative tins that I am going to re-use for small objects when I am done eating all the mints out of them. I received the Cinnamon and Peppermint. If you open the tins the mints look exactly the same...no artificial dyes or coloring. I love cinnamon anything so I tried these first. These have a wonderful spicy cinnamon taste. The peppermint is like a blast of fresh cold air. These will keep your breath fresh and are only 1 carbohydrate apiece. This made my type 1 diabetic son, Delbin, very happy. These come in: Cinnamon, Ginger, Peppermint and Wintergreen. The same flavors are available in a convenient pocket size .75 oz roll and a four roll multi-pack bag with the familiar American Gothic style logo of Nell and "Pa" Newman. Since I love ginger so much I am going to try to hunt this one down to try.

BUY IT
Purchase the Newman’s Own® Organics products locally in and around Portland Oregon at New Seasons Market. If you live other places you can search to see where they carry them near you. You can also go to Amazon.com and search for the products there too. They have a great selection of them.

Foodie Friday Mission Organics Tortilla Chips Review and Giveaway with Beet Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream - Keeping Portland Weird

I received three 13 oz. bags of Mission Organics Tortilla Chips to try, each in a different flavor variety: Blue Corn, White Corn, and Multi Grain. These are all USDA certified organic tortilla chips that start off as masa (maize (corn) dough made from freshly prepared hominy) made from organically grown corn. The tortillas are cooked in organic oil and topped with fresh sea salt for a traditional taste. I really liked the blue corn and multi grain the best myself. These chips curb my salty, crunchy snack craving and are great with my homemade salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. I however wanted to try them out with something unconventional this time.

So, in keeping Portland, Oregon weird I decided to pair the Blue Corn Mission Organics Tortilla Chips with one of my favorite recipes from a wonderful ice cream cookbook called Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams At Home. This cookbook has some really strange sounding, but divinely delicious recipes for ice creams, sundaes, sorbets and frozen yogurts. This particular Jeni's recipe is her Beet ice cream with mascarpone Italian cream cheese, orange zest, and poppy seeds. Although, we did a slightly different version with the poppy seeds substituted with 4 ounces of melted semi-sweet baking chocolate slowly drizzled in during the last 2 minutes of rotation.

The taste of the Beet ice cream has a subtle earthy beet flavor with piquant citrus hints and chocolate throughout. The color of the ice cream is a bright fuchsia, so paired with the Blue Corn Mission Organics Tortilla Chips it was quite the color combination. The salty chips brought out the sweet citrus taste of the ice cream even better and gave it an interesting crunch. All in all it was an interesting experience for my refined palate.

BUY IT
Mission Organics Tortilla Chips are currently available in 13 oz. bags for a suggested retail price of $3.99 at select Safeway, Haggen, QFC and Fred Meyers stores throughout Portland and Seattle. Prices may vary by location. For more information, visit missionmenus.com.

WIN IT
Prize: 5 winners will win 1 Mission Organics Tortilla Chips 3 Pack just like the one above. Retail value of $12 each.

Farm Rich Review

I received a free coupon for a Farm Rich product and my husband picked up the Cheese Sticks from the store. These were really tasty! They were so much better than others I have tried and the mozzarella just melts in your mouth. They are made with 100% real mozzarella cheese that is breaded. They are a very good source of calcium and protein and have 0g trans fats per serving. Their 2 lb. bag that my husband got is resealable for easy storage...but believe me you probably won't need the zipper pack because they will disappear so quickly....they did at my house! It also comes in a convenient club-size pack (4.5 lb.). I made them in my oven, but you can also use the toaster oven, convection oven or you can deep fry them although they were perfectly fine without being deep fried so I wouldn't spoil them with fat. These are wonderful as a snack or an appetizer and are also fun to dip.

You can locate a store near you that carries these or other Farm Rich products HERE. They are also on Facebook and Twitter.

Popchips Review

Popchips are a healthier, delicious, all-natural snack chip that aren't ever fried or baked. They are popped. They start with wholesome potatoes then with a little heat and pressure they get that yummy snack that my family and I love right down to the very last morsel. Since they are all-natural they don't have the junk most chips are found with. They are also more than half the fat of fried chips, no trans fats, and no cholesterol with all or more of the flavor.

No fake colors, no fake flavors, no preservatives, no hydrogenated oils, no MSG. Just a flavorful blend of seasonings and a great crunch! Just make sure to get a good chip clip after opening the bag to keep your Popchips fresh. Or you could instead eat them all at once :) My daughter couldn't resist using the bag clip that we got as a stylish hair clip, LOL!

Popchips come in 7 delectable varieties: original potato, barbeque potato, sour cream & onion potato, cheddar potato, sea salt & vinegar potato, salt & pepper potato and Parmesan garlic potato.

We received .8 oz bags of all the flavors to try for free and coupons for larger bags to try later. My favorites were the Parmesan garlic potato and the sour cream & onion potato. My kids and I didn't really care for the salt & pepper potato ones, but my husband loves them all!

Yoplait Splitz Review and Giveaway

Instead of a sundae try Yoplait Splitz! Yoplait Splitz is a new yogurt from Yoplait that tastes like a sundae, but is 100% yogurt that has no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors or sweeteners and is 90 calories. This yogurt is also a good source of calcium and vitamin D. Available in three yummy flavor combos including Strawberry Sundae, Strawberry Banana Split, and Rainbow Sherbet.

My family tried the Rainbow Sherbet because it sounded the best to me. It came in a 4 pack and is split into two dreamy flavors in one cup: orange sherbet and raspberry sherbet! I love frozen sherbet and when you freeze these yogurts in the freezer they taste just like it. I liked the orange sherbet that was the top layer the most and unfortunately it was the least of the two flavors in the cup. Also, I thought that if they really want to call it "Rainbow" sherbet then they should have added lime, lemon, or another sherbet flavor also. I really liked it otherwise though. I love them frozen the best and my kids enjoyed them as well!!

We had fun using our picnic blanket and Activo Picnic Time insulated tote in Red Clay color with caramel interior and stitching that came with the coupon. The insulated tote is made of 600D polyester fabric that has a water-resistant coating that repels condensation with a waterproof PVC liner and double-cinch cord closure. It is 11" X 6" base (that is a textured non-skid PVC) and 14" height so it carries quite a bit. It has padded carry handles and an adjustable, detachable shoulder strap. The padded shoulder straps cushion with non-slip PVC underside. There are a lot of pockets and the hardware is metal. You can use this tote at the beach, sporting events, picnics, or long trips in the car. I love how the blanket rolls up in a nice tote-able package and the insulated tote has lots of pockets and is great to keep stuff like Yoplait yogurts cold. As you can see we had a very healthy picnic in our backyard with the yogurts and some other foods. We had a great time until the mosquitoes started to come out.
