Mornings.  Ugh…. mornings are so not my friend.  Now my kiddos on the other hand?  They wake up bright eyed, bursting at the seams with energy, and totally forgetting the concept of an inside voice, hehe.  They also wake up hungry and want something more than a bowl of cereal though that is the only thing that is really my speed in those morning hours.  Until now.  I had heard that one of my favorite brands – Tyson – had launched a new product available at Sam’s Club that would be perfect for my morning dreading self.  And so a … …..

Posted on March 27, 2013
IMG_0129

Sometimes quick and easy meals are a necessity for our family.  Especially for Dustin when packing his lunches for work or for myself when I need to eat quick before heading out to Monday night bowling league.  Just because we need to eat something quick doesn’t mean we have to resort to sandwiches or a bowl of cereal.  While on my weekly grocery shopping trip I decided to check out the ConAgra Frozen Foods which include Healthy Choice and Marie Callender’s meals for some easy meal options.  I was amazed at the huge selection I had to choose from and … …..

Start Your Day with Aunt Jemima Lil’ Griddles: Every Batch Made from Scratch!

Posted on March 25, 2013

Three days out of the week Alleigh attends pre-kindergarten which means we need to be out the door by 8:40am at the absolute latest to be on time.  It seems no matter how early we get up on these mornings I am still rushing around making sure breakfast has been eaten, pajamas have been changed, and teeth have been brushed.  With all the craziness it’s necessary to resort to a quick simple breakfast, but that doesn’t mean we have to skimp on taste and quality.  Aunt Jemima frozen breakfast has come to our rescue with new Lil’ Griddles giving my … …..

After dropping Alleigh off at Pre-K this morning Willow and I headed to the grocery store in search of the perfect … …..

Share, Tweet, Pin, or Watch to Share Breakfast with a Child in Need

Posted on March 10, 2013
KelloggsShareBreakfast_thumb.png

It’s a fact that saddens me, but a fact none the less that one in five kids may go without breakfast each morning.  Knowing this makes me so thankful that we are able to provide a refrigerator and pantry full of food for our little ones to choose from to start their day off right.  And on the days that Alleigh goes to prekindergarten she is also provided with a healthy start to her day there as well.  But so many kids do not have this basic need met.  How can they concentrate on filling their minds with knowledge or … …..

Posted on March 5, 2013
IMG_9551.jpg

I love rice and could seriously eat it every single day.  But here’s the problem… I’m the only one in my home that feels that way.  So if I make rice for any meal I will be the only one to eat it even if I make enough for everyone.  Then since I made enough for everyone I will be tempted to eat more of it than I should because it’s in front of my face and tastes so good.  Luckily I have found a solution to this problem – Minute Ready to Serve Rice. Minute Ready to Serve Rice … …..

IMG_6126_thumb.jpg

I refused to eat bread until I was around middle school age – gosh, I didn’t know what I was missing.  My girls on the other hand will snag slices of bread while we have the bag out and inhale them before we even notice what’s going on!  In fact they did it today while I was making dinner the little boogers, hehe. Speaking of bread, did you know that November is National Bread Month? And considering bread is is the most important ingredient in making a healthy and delicious sandwich it only seems fitting to share that this year … …..

2012 Holiday Gift Guide: Corkcicle Review & Giveaway

Posted on November 14, 2012
Corkcicle Blue Giveaway

This review/giveaway written by Roxanne, Children Teaching Mama. I have always enjoyed a nice glass of wine with dinner and love pairing them with dishes. I like all types of wines and don’t really have a favorite, though my mom prefers blush wines. She likes to keep them very cold and especially likes having a glass at the beach. The problem with bringing wine to the beach is keeping it at a cold temperature. Hot blush wine is not very good warm, after all. Now we have a solution: the Corkcicle! About Corkcicle:  One day Ben Hewitt, the inventor and … …..
