Ragu - Making Veggies Fun


Let me say this first: my family loves pasta dishes. We love all sorts of pastas, from mac and cheese to chicken parmesan. But a part of me always feels guilty when I feed my children a lot of pasta dishes in a short amount of time, mainly because, while they taste great and my kids love it, it’s also very fattening and it’s not the healthiest choice of dinners out there. Plus, most often, when we have pasta, there is no vegetables included, so we’re basically getting carbs and meat covered in a fattening sauce.

This was the status quo until Ifound out about the new Ragu sauces. Ragú® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce now has 2 servings of veggies in every half cup! Available soon in major retailers nationwide, the healthy, great tasting Ragú® Old World Style® Traditional pasta sauce that is already a kitchen staple has a new, naturally thicker recipe. They have the same great taste as those other sauces we used to use, but now, I don’t feel as guilty when my children eat it. I pair this sauce with whole wheat pasta, and my children don’t know the difference. They get the same great flavor and I get peace of mind that now, my children are eating a more nutritious, well-balanced diet. This is the perfect pasta sauce for all moms, but especially moms who have children that don’t like vegetables. This is a sneaky way to get your children to eat a full serving of vegetables without them even realizing it. And, when they ask for more, you’ll always be more than happy to give it to them.

To be one of the first to taste Ragú® with 2 servings of veggies in every half-cup visit them on facebook.com/ragusauce for more details.

Yoplait Splitz Review & Giveaway


We’re a big yogurt family around here, not so much my husband but the kids and I love it! The brand we buy most often is Yoplait. My toddlers love Yoplait kids and will eat them for every meal if we let them. My favor the sweeter flavors such as peach cobbler, but the kids love any flavor and will devour the fruit flavored ones within minutes, scratch that, within seconds!


So when I was asked to review the new Yoplait Splitz I knew it would probably be a big hit. For me it’s the fact that there are no artificial flavors, sweeteners or high fructose corn syrup, and the biggie, it’s only around 90 calories. Since it’s summertime Yoplait suggests, for an even “cooler” experience, just can pop a Yoplait Splitz in the freezer and in a few hours you can enjoy a cool, creamy cup of authentic frozen yogurt. It comes available in three delicious flavor combinations including Strawberry Sundae, Strawberry Banana Split, and Rainbow Sherbet. I don’t know about you but it sounds yummy and trust me it tastes just as good!!


In addition to my samples of Yoplait Splitz I was provided with a wonderful picnic bundle including a roll up fleece blanket and heavy duty insulated tote. I can't wait for it to cool down a little so we can take our frozen Splitz to the park and enjoy a lovely family outing!! I was also given a unique link to offer my readers a printable coupon* for $0.75 off one package of Yoplait Splitz, simply click here. Yoplait Splitz can be purchased nationwide in a variety of grocery stores and fine retailers. I bought mine at Vons!
