• About

    I’m a wife and mom of two daughters. My daughters are 12 years apart so that keeps me quite busy and a little crazy at times. My life is a jumble of mixed up mishaps, but it’s always centered around my family.

    Back To School With Mission Foods

    August 27th, 2010

    This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Mission Foods. All opinions are 100% mine.

    This school year, my daughter is starting school later which gives us time for a fulling and healthy breakfast each day. She can’t eat snacks in her classes so she’s starving by the time she gets home too. When it comes to feeding my daughter, who’s on the very thin side, I’ll do anything.

    With Mission Meals Tortillas it’s easy to make quick yet delicious meals and snacks that she’ll eat up in a flash! They also look different than the ordinary food I cook for her which makes her more interested in finding out what’s on her plate. I found a recipe for a Sunrise Breakfast Burrito that includes scrambled eggs, bacon and cheese. It not only looks good, it tastes delicious. It’s a meal in one with a glass of juice of some cut up fruit on the side.

    Since this has been a success, I’m on the Mission – Back To School project. I try to change up foods normally made with bread with Mission Tortillas.

    Mission Flour Tortillas:

    • Are inexpensive
    • Are great to keep on hand in the kitchen
    • Contain 0 grams Trans fat per serving and are cholesterol free
    • Are available in small (6″), medium (8″) and large (10”) sizes
    • Are available in flour, multi-grain, wheat, corn and other varieties
    • Make meals “cool” according to my daughter


    Mission Tortillas make back to school time easier for planning healthy and unique breakfasts, lunches and snacks.

    Banquet Fruit Pies Snack Time

    August 23rd, 2010

    Banquet Fruit Pies make an easy and quick snack. Choose between apple, peach or cherry berry or all three! They only cost about 70 cents for a 7 oz. pie, so go ahead and splurge. With school starting, they make a good after school snack.

    I’ve eaten Banquet pot pies for a long time, so when I saw their fruit pies I knew they’d be good. I chose to bake mine in the oven which only took 30 minutes. The crust was golden brown and crispy. In the sake of a good review I also tried one in the microwave (not the same day, don’t worry about me). It tasted just as good and it only took 4 minutes. The only extra process is that I had to use a food thermometer to check the temperature of my pie. That’s just too much work for me. So from now on, I’ll be baking my Banquet Fruit Pies in the oven.

    I found my pies at Publix, but they’re available at Walmart and grocery stores around the US. If you want a free sample, check with your local Walmart between August 26-28, right before Labor Day. 650 Walmarts will have in-store demonstrations  of the Banquet Fruit Pies topped with Reddi-wip.

    Don’t forget to add toppings to your Banquet Fruit Pies, including ice cream, melted cheese, whipped creme, etc. What’s your favorite pie topping?

    I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Banquet and received free coupons to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central also sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.


    Good Humor Ice Cream Brings Back Memories

    August 18th, 2010

    Good Humor ice cream used to be delivered to my house every summer night. The ice cream truck would come down the street playing a tune that would be stuck in my head for most of my childhood. Then would come the screams, “Mommy, I need money for ice cream!” “I got a dollar to spend tonight!” “Lend me some money. I promise I’ll pay you back”.

    I wasn’t able to get ice cream every night, but when I did my choice was a Chocolate Eclair from Good Humor. I’d savor that first bite, the crunchy outside, the cold vanilla ice cream and then the chocolate center. It was heaven! I’d keep the wrapper around it so that I could catch the crumbs that feel and eat every drop.

    Some things never change: When I got a 6 pack of Good Humor Chocolate Eclair, it was hard not to open it in the store. But as soon as I came home, I tore open the box and relived my childhood memories. No, I didn’t savor it. I ate it up quickly, but I did keep the wrapper around it and ate those crumbs. And the taste was just as I remembered it.

    Some things do: An ice cream truck may visit our street once in while, but now I can but Good Humor multipacks in grocery stores or big box stores. I can get individual Good Humor ice cream bars, sandwiches, etc. at convenience stores when I’m on the go and have a craving for them.

    Visit the Good Humor website to learn about all of the Good Humor ice cream products and the history of this company. Good Humor has gone social! Visit their FaceBook page, Chasing The Good Humor Truck.

    Enter the Good Humor Sweet-Stakes where you can win 10,000 instant prizes and $10,000. Just buy specially marked Good Humor single-serve Strawberry Shortcake, Chocolate Éclair, Toasted Almond and Candy Center Crunch bars and check the stick to see if you’re a winner! This sweepstakes ends September 6, 2010.

    Thanks to The Mom Bloggers Club and Good Humor for the coupon to purchase a box of Chocolate Eclair in order to write my review. All  opinions are 100% my own.

    My Review: I tried the Vanilla Fudge Brownie Sandwiches. I had no idea that they were lower in fat and calories from the taste. The sandwich had just the right texture, not too hard and not too soft. The ice cream had chunks of brownies in it, which were a delicious treat. I’m an ice cream lover who is trying to lose weight. Breyers Smooth & Dreamy is now one of my new favorites.
