Congratulations to the winners: Kevin Linkie and Doris Calvert! My family loves to bbq – let me rephrase that! My hubby bbq’s, the kids LOVE to play outside while he does this and my family LOVES to eat the food that he makes 🙂 My family also loves to eat hotdogs. While “Top Dogs™ are made from only the best ingredients”, I still do try to limit that number of times we serve them, but when I do – they get gobbled up in no time flat – yum, yum! We did an experiment and grilled up three different packs … Continue reading →

popchips™ are an amazing creation! They are potatoes that are not fried or baked – they are popped (using some heat and a little pressure) – seasoned and voila, they are the perfect healthy snack for the whole family to enjoy – guilt free! I LOVE the popchips™ pledge: Our all-natural pledge: no fake colors, no fake flavors, no preservatives, no fluorescent orange fingertips, and no wiping your greasy chip hand on your jeans. Now, that is classic! I love how they have no artificial colouring or artificial flavours. Those are two key points that I like to see in … Continue reading →

Mornings are rather chaotic around our house to say the least! I’ve recently been enjoying some faster breakfast options for myself, one of which is an Organic Whey Protein Powder made by Prairie Naturals. I was sent the Wild Field Berry flavour to test out.

What I enjoy the most is when I do have a bit more time and I can add a scoop of powder to my homemade smoothies. This … Continue reading →

I’ve been into making my own smoothies lately, but they do take some time to make. I have to wash the fruit/veggies, mix everything up in the blender and then clean it all. Some mornings, I feel like a smoothie, but my laziness or time just doesn’t allow me to make one. Enter, VEGA Shake & Go Smoothies. They come in four yummy flavours: Choc-a-Lot Tropical Tango Bodacious Berry Vanilla Almondilla My favourite flavour is definitely the chocolate one. I’ve added just water to the powders and mixed them up with my mini hand frother and away we go! Yummy, … Continue reading →

Barney Butter is an almond butter that comes in a variety of convenient snacking forms including snack packs! It is an all natural almond butter made with Premium California Almonds and has HALF THE SATURATED FAT of peanut butter! We sampled the Snack Packs. They are super convenient because they can travel in your purse, lunch bag etc. and simply need to be mixed while still in the packet, opened and squeezed out. They can be spread on toast, crackers or even apples. We really enjoyed the taste of this yummy almond butter! Unfortunately, we didn’t realize that Barney Butter … Continue reading →
