Good Earth Means Good Food for Your Soul

July 12, 2010 by Jennifer 77 Comments

Contest now closed. Congratulations to Comment Number 33 for being selected via Random.org!

As a family, we are really trying to get back to the basics with our eating. So many times in this fast paced society do we want to reach for fast foods and not take the time to really sit down for a well cooked healthy meal. What if I told you that you could cook a healthy 5 star cuisine meal in less than 30 minutes?

Meet Good Earth!

100% whole grain, no trans fat, no artificial flavors, no artificial preservatives, no MSG – just add meat and, voila! Dinner is served. Good Earth dry dinner kits offer a selection of four delectable meals: Mediterranean Chicken with angel hair pasta, Spicy Citrus Glazed Shrimp with angel hair pasta, Herb Crusted Chicken with mushroom risotto and Tuscan Chicken with penne pasta.

I was given the chance to review the Mediterranean Chicken and let me just say… my husband is very picky. He is pretty much a meat and potatoes kind of guy and will not stray far from that particular meal. When I sat this before him

I received the look. I said just try it. He took one bite, then another, and another until the whole plate was cleaned. I just smiled. Thank you Jesus that I can add another meal that my husband will eat. It truly was so delicious that I was thinking I should feel guilty for eating it, but I don’t have to with it having no trans fat, no artificial flavors, no artificial preservatives, or no MSG.

It’s your turn to get the chance to try the Good Earth meals for yourself. One lucky blog reader will win a Good Earth gift pack that includes a Good Earth Mediterranean Chicken dry dinner kit, two sets of bamboo flatware, two bamboo dishes, a bamboo utility board and a 100% recyclable grocery tote.

All you need to do is leave a comment below on who you would cook this new dinner for and you will be entered to win. I will leave it open for entries until July 20, 2010 11:59pm EST. I will choose one winner via Random.org.

P.S. The product, gift pack, information and additional gift pack to give away were all given to me by Good Earth and MyBlogSpark

Yogurt Just Got Simpler – Giveaway

April 21, 2010 by Jennifer 8 Comments

Is your family big fans of yogurt? I will tell you, everyone in my family usually eats one serving of yogurt a day. I never realized though how much additives were in certain brands of yogurt. Moms and Dads, discover the newest tasty, wholesome snack – one that both parents and kids can happily agree on – available now in the dairy case!

New Simply… Go-Gurt is made from simple ingredients moms look for and contains no high fructose corn syrup or artificial colors or flavors. Each convenient portable yogurt tube contains a good source of calcium and vitamin D. Simply stated, Simply… Go-Gurt is a good-for-you, low fat yogurt snack that you can feel good about giving to your kids.

New Simply… Go-Gurt is available in two kid-friendly flavors, Strawberry and Mixed Berry.

I did a little experiment with my girls. I did not tell my girls that I changed the yogurt in their laptop lunch boxes to the new Simply… Go-Gurt. I eagerly awaited their arrival back home that afternoon and was greeted my daughter saying “Mommy, Mommy… I loved that strawberry yogurt so much in my lunch box. Can I have some more tomorrow for lunch.” She has made sure each day that I put it in her lunch box which is weird because she never would hardly eat all the yogurt from before. Now, she never has any yogurt left when she comes home from school. SCORE!

I would love for you to try this yogurt and see what your kids think! I have coupons available up to 30 of my readers that can be printed right here from this blog post.

Also, Yoplait and BlogSpark has graciously offered up a Simply…Go-Gurt prize pack to giveaway to one of my readers.

All you need to do to enter the giveaway is leave a comment below letting me know if your family is a big fan of yogurt and what flavor do you all usually enjoy :).

Weight Watchers Meal Baked Chicken Tenders

March 22, 2010 by Jennifer 8 Comments

I am so trying to find new ideas for meals so I took a leap and used a couple ingredients I had here in the pantry. The ingredients included:

1. Tiger Sauce (I found this at our local grocery store)
2. McCormick Salt Free Garlic & Herb

I took a pack of fresh chicken tenders made from chicken breast. Poured the tiger sauce all over the chicken tenders, then topped that with the Salt Free Garlic & Herb all over.

4 chicken tenders = 3 points

I added the following sides:

Fresh cut cucumbers = 0 points
Bush Baked Beans = 2 points
Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce = 2 points

Total Points for Dinner Meal = 7 Points

Easy and fast meal that is so delicious!

Yoplait Frozen Smoothie Review and Giveaway

January 27, 2010 by Jennifer 41 Comments

I have always enjoyed smoothies, but it has been years since I have actually made my own here at the house. I was so ecstatic to be able to review the new Yoplait Frozen Smoothies. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but I have to say it was so easy to make and the taste was excellent. I could see myself eating one of these everyday as a great snack that would be great for points on my Weight Watchers adventure.

Did you know seven out of 10 Americans do not consume the daily recommended amount of fruit? Every Yoplait Smoothie contains a full serving of fruit as well as real Yoplait yogurt pieces with live & active cultures. Yoplait Smoothies are a good source of calcium when prepared with milk according to directions, and an excellent source of antioxidant vitamin C.

Simply add milk to a Yoplait freezer package, blend, and in less than two minutes you can enjoy a nutritious and delicious smoothie guilt free! At 110 calories per serving, Yoplait Frozen Smoothies make creating the at-home smoothie convenient, simple and worry free.

Let’s take a picture tour of how easy it was to make these!

Gather the milk and the smoothie package. I used the single Hamilton smoothie blender to make this smoothie.

Pour the entire package of the yoplait smoothie into the blender and add the milk.

Put the lid onto the blender.

Press the blender button to make the smoothie.

After a minute and half…. you have 2 servings of a fruit smoothie.

See how easy it is? This would be easy to make in the morning before you head out the door for the day or in the evenings for a snack. Like I said, the taste is delicious. It really is great taste that will leave you wanting more!

Would you like to try them out for yourself? Print off this $1.25 coupon to use on your purchase. Also… you can win your very own prize pack of a coupon for a free package and the blender. All you need to do is leave me a comment below telling me what is your favorite smoothie. I will pick a random winner after the contest ends on Feb 3, 2010 at 11:59pm EST. Extra entries?
