Mornings can be quite hectic. It’s hard enough to get yourself up and ready to start the day, much less your kids. And it is even hard to get everyone to the table for breakfast. Aunt Jemima is here to help with their frozen pancakes, French toast sticks, and other breakfast selections.
The goal of Aunt Jemima frozen breakfast is to deliver every batch just like you’d make it yourself. Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day, and Aunt Jemima frozen breakfast knows for moms, starting her family out with a warm breakfast makes the morning, and the entire day, even more special.
And now Aunt Jemima is introducing a knew line of frozen breakfast items, especially for the kids called Lil Griddles. They are an excellent, on-the-go, bite sized breakfast option, and they come in three great varieties:
Personally I love pancakes! My dad used to make them every Sunday when I was growing up, but quite honestly, even if I have the time, I don’t love the idea of standing over a hot griddle for a long time, so a good frozen option is perfect for me. They take only about 30 seconds to cook, which is great if you’re in a hurry, or if you decide to have breakfast at the last minute. And they still come out light and fluffy, and they taste just as good as homemade.
I shopped around in my area for the Lil’ Griddles line because I was especially excited to try their mini pancakes. My dad used to make me “silver dollar” pancakes when I was little, and I felt the Lil’ Griddles Mini Pancakes would bring back those memories, but since I couldn’t find them, I purchased a box of the regular size Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Pancakes. And they were just delicious and tasted like they were made from scratch!
I defiinitely recommend the Aunt Jemima frozen breakfast products to anyone looking for a fast, yet fresh and delicious as homemade option for breakfast!

Did you know March 14 is Pi Day? Yes, Pi, as in 3.14. This is the perfect day to celebrate your love for math! And even if you don’t love math, you can still celebrate by eating a little pie with us! I am celebrating Pi Day this year with Marie Callender’s, and I’m really excited to share there products with you today!
As I looked through the freezer section at Marie Callender’s selection of hearty pot pies and sweet dessert pies, I had such a hard time picking just one, that I ended up leaving with a pot pie, two desserts, and even a breakfast pie! [Read more…]
Don’t you love surprises? Green Giant recently unveiled a very GIANT surprise! The company known for their fresh, frozen, and canned vegetables, has just unveiled a line of Veggie Snack Chips. Made with whole grain and real vegetables these are chips that any snacker can feel good about eating. And they come in two amazing varieties:
I’m a big of Green Giant and their products, and I was really excited to try these new chips! I received samples of both flavors, and I instantly fell in love! I’ve actually never eaten sweet potatoes, let alone Sweet Potato Chips, but I instantly became a fan of the the Multigrain Sweet Potato Chips.
And then I especially love the Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips. I love cheese flavored snacks any way, and these Zesty Cheddar Flavored chips are so delicious!
The chips also have a great crunch and consistency. I loved them so much, I could hardly put down the bag! They are perfect for snacking at home or in the office, and they’d also be perfect for parties and showers. And I think everyone in the family from young to old will love them!

It’s difficult to find meals that are fast, convenient, delicious, and healthy, especially when you are trying to feed kids. Greenie Tots is a line of microwaveable meals that satisfies all these requirements. Their meals can be prepared in 5 minutes are less. Each is 100% meatless and contains no artificial colors or flavors and no high fructose corn syrup.
There are 5 varieties available. They include:
I got two try a couple of Greenie Tots entrees. I selected Cauliflower Rice with Chik’n and the Mac and Cheese with Peas. Both were delicious!
The Cauliflower Rice with Chik’n. It contains a soy-free meatless chick’n that, in my opinion, tasted just as good as the real thing. And it had a great mixture of long grain white rice and vegetables. If you are a fan of stir-fry, I think you would love love this. I didn’t even season mine, because the flavor was so good I didn’t see a need. And it was also a good portion size for me.
As for the Mac and Cheese with Peas, I liked it as well. The Mac and Cheese was especially good! It is made with a blend of five organic cheeses and milk, and it tasted just as good as other mac & cheese products I’ve bought in the past. As for the peas, I did season those a bit, to give them a little bit of flavor, I thought they were a great compliment to the Mac & Cheese, and I think kids will love this meal.
I think the other selections looks great as well. For instance, I’d love to try the quesadillas!
Which meal would you like to try?

I love wearing and shopping for graphic tees! I like anything that features a show or movie I like, especially when it’s an older show or movie, and then I also like the shirts that feature cute and funny sayings. Recently I got the chance to shop at T-shirts.com, and I was really pleased with all their wide selection. After much deliberation, I decided to get the Jem Shirt.
For those who are unfamiliar, Jem and the Holograms was a show that came on in the mid to late 80s. I used to watch this every morning, and I even dressed up as Jem one year for Halloween! I’ve never seen Jem shirt anywhere prior to this, so I consider it a great find!
Here’s a picture of me modeling the shirt: [Read more…]
