Sending Smiles with Minions and Hallmark

Healthy Snacks with Arnold® Healthfull® Bread Challenge & a Giveaway

June 25, 2015 23 Comments

Arnold Healthfull Bread Giveaway

Every day we struggle to adopt healthy living standards, but it’s actually amazing how easy it can be if you just take baby steps!  One very important baby step (and giant leap) you can take is switching your white bread to a 100% Whole Wheat Bread like Arnold® Healthfull® Bread.

I was recently challenged to try Arnold Healthfull Bread.  I took up the challenge because I’ve always try to convert my husband to whole wheat bread.  Anytime you’re at risk or diagnosed with heart disease, diabetes, or obesity, one of the first things doctors say is to cut sugar out of your diet, including the sugar in white bread and to start eating whole grains.  While hubby and I are still “relatively young” and in pretty good shape, I say it’s never too early to start trying to adopt healthy habits!

Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

Throughout the year I enjoy my share of milkshakes, floats, sundaes, and other yummy ice cream creations.  The hot summer weather just gives me an excuse to enjoy it even more!  This summer I’m stocking my freezer with Blue Bunny ice cream.  They have so many great flavors from classics like Vanilla and Chocolate to fun flavors like Bunny Tracks and Banana Split ice cream, and they have so many fun novelty ice creams!

All thoughts and opinions expressed in this post are my own. #ListerineMom

My family spends so much of the time indoors, but the summer weather definitely gives us more excuses to get outside, from grilling out to playing with the dog, and doing yard work.  Whether we’re at work or play, I always try to take extra steps to take care of my family.  Today, in partnership with Walgreen’s, Johnson & Johnson, and Listerine, I’ll be sharing some of my tips to make sure your family is totally taken care of.

4th of July Picnic

The summer season is such a fun opportunity to spend time with family and friends in the great outdoors and host fun cook outs and picnics, but I, for one, have a hard time standing the heat!  There are certain times of day when I can barely go outside at all for more than a few minutes, much less have fun in the sun or play hostess!

I’m sure a lot of you ladies and gents feel the same way!

Today I’m going to share some ways I beat the heat when planning my party menu, and I’ve also got a recipe for an easy side dish you can make for your upcoming picnics and barbecues: a corn casserole! [Read more…]

Orange Julius Smoothies with Carnation Breakfast Essentials

Orange Julius Smoothies

We’ve all heard breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  I know I certainly feel more focused and am able to get more work done when I’ve had something to eat early in the day.  But sometimes when I first wake up, I’m just not really all that hungry, and I certainly don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking and dirtying up dishes unnecessarily…my solution to this dilemma is often Carnation Breakfast Essentials.

Carnation Breakfast Essentials

I’ve been drinking this stuff since my teen years.  It was always a great drink to take on my early morning commute to school, and it got me through many college lectures!  Back then I primarily bought the chocolate flavored and simply added it to milk, but now I love using the Carnation Breakfast Essentials as a base for shakes and smoothies.  By adding a simple ingredient or two, I’ve come up with some really yummy flavor combinations that make for a light, yet filling breakfast that any girl can enjoy.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta

May 22, 2015 1 Comment

Panko Bread Crumbs

Lately I’ve been in a mood to branch out and try new recipes.  I haven’t really made anything new in a while because Noah isn’t a “try new things” kind of kid, so making something new often means making the new recipe, plus making something else for him. (And who has the time for that?) But now that school is out, that gives me a little more time to cook….in the past week I’ve had a chance to make 3 new things!  One thing I made this week was Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta.  I basically used my very popular Alfredo Recipe and added a few key ingredients like Swiss cheese, ham, and Progresso Panko Crispy Bread Crumbs.

Noah heard the name of the recipe and basically refused to try it.  (I’ve never made my Chicken Cordon Bleu for him.)  But we convinced him to try a bite, and he actually liked it.  Yay! [Read more…]
