Valentines Day Gifts For Her Bormioli Rocco Plates and Bowls

January 27, 2012

The fine tradition of the Bormioli Rocco Group coincides with the very history of glass: the first glassworks was established in Parma in 1825. The company has always demonstrated a great drive to pioneer innovation: in machinery, materials and design. Over the years it has developed a special talent, that of combining time-honoured craftsmanship and the passion of master glassmakers with modern industrial processes. Bormioli Rocco is the leading company in its sector in Italy and a great ambassador of the Made in Italy label on international markets. Respect for tradition, passion for good taste and constant research and innovation are Bormioli Rocco’s milestones to create products that meet the needs of the consumers.

***Bermiolo Rocco plates and bowls are so beautiful. When I received these, my first thought was I don’t even want to use these for dinner. They are just to nice. I did notice that these are very fragile and can break so easily. The plate was very thin and just putting my fork on it left a small scratch. The bowl is sturdier and is the perfect size for portion control.

Retail: Plates are $77.57 for a set of 12 and bowls are $53.45 for a set of 12.

Disclosure: No compensation was received for this post, a product (1) not a full set was provided for my review. All opinions are my own.

More Whole Grain From General Mills Cereals Giveaway2/28

January 27, 2012

Now that 2012 is finally here, a lot of people are changing their eating habits. I’ve heard everyone say “Switch to Whole Grain, It’s better for you.” Well now there is a way for you to enjoy your favorite cereal as well as get the Whole Grain you need.

General Mills Cereals with a white check on the box now have more Whole Grain than any other ingredient.
I received all the cereals listed above and them being more whole grain does not affect the taste at all. They are still so good. The cheerios are great, they were already great for you. The cinnamon toast crunch (my fav) and the Lucky Charms still have a lot of sugar in them though.

I have a General Mills prize pack of 5 Whole Grain cereals to giveaway to one lucky reader (pictured above).

To enter: Tell me your favorite General Mills cereal?

Hormel food Products

January 26, 2012

Hormel foods has so many different products under their brand, you’ll always find something yummy to eat. From chili, meat, side dishes and so much more.

As a Hormel Blogger, I was sent a variety of food to try out and my family loved all of it.

I received Hormel Chili with No beans, Chili with cheese double pack, fully cooked bacon, Turkey pepperoni, La Victoria Salsa, Chi Chi Salsa mini packs, canned chicken and more.

My husband was really excited about the bacon, since it’s already cooked he didn’t have to do so much work. It still tasted like bacon you have to cook. The Turkey pepperoni, we are not fond of but still getting use to. We don’t eat a lot of Turkey. My favorite was the Chili and Cheese mixture. It tasted just like a restaurants chili and cheese, it’s so good.

You can Find Hormel food products at all grocer retailers nationwide.

Kidz Bop 21 Review

January 24, 2012

Kidz Bop is a cd collection for kids ages 5-12.

There are some great songs on Kidz Bop 21:

Party Rock Anthem
Moves Like Jagger
The Edge Of Glory
You Make Me Feel
Good Life
Stereo Love
Without You
Fly
Hello
We Found love
It Will Rain
The One That Got Away
Good Feeling
Mr. Saxobeat
It Girl
Someone Like You

****This is our first Kidz Bop CD, my kids just love the commercials though. These are kids singing the snags and the lyrics have been changed to be kid friendly of course. I was a little disappointed that one of my favorite songs “Part Rock Anthem” was just the chorus of the song over and over. It may be better that way though as there are some lyrics that are not kid friendly. My kids though, loved it and have been dancing around to it for hours.

You can buy Kidz Bop 21 online for $13.98

It’s been really weird this winter, we have not had any snow at all. It has actually been really warm in Long Island. Well we finally had our first snowfall on Saturday , we got about 4 inches of snow.

The kids still got to have a lot of fun.

Udi’s Gluten Free Foods

January 23, 2012

Udi’s Gluten Free Foods, is the #1 gluten-free baked good brands, revolutionized the category when it introduced the first gluten-free bread that tastes and looks like real bread.

*** We received an insiders VIP kit from Udi’s to try out. Since I have two members of my family with Milk allergies these were great to try out. Most gluten Free products are also dairy free.

We were so excited to receive these, especially my husband. Who has a dairy allergy. His favorite product we received Blueberry muffins. We have not been able to find dairy free muffins anywhere, so he was in heaven eating them. We also received shortbread cookies, which my kids loved. The cookies were not dairy free though, but were still good.

The other items we received were Udi’s cinnamon raisin bagels, pizza crust, and whole wheat bread. The cinnamon raisin bagels were really good, while the bread was just okay. My kids didn’t seem to like it, but hubby and I thought it was okay. The pizza crust was great, we have always made french bread pizza since we can’t find dairy free crusts. This was very good.

After trying these the first thing my husband asked was “Where can I but these at?” Luckily they are on sale at a Stop and Shop near us. Udi’s is available at most Wal-mart locations,but to find out where to find Udi’s in your area please check here.
