Pringles Multigrain-Helping to End Childhood Hunger
We are headed to the beach twice this summer-once with my family, once with the in-laws. One issue that we constantly have is what snack foods to take to the beach. Just taking a bag of pretzels only works the first time you open it-after that,the bag fills up with blowing sand, the bag doesn't stay closed, and that salt you think you're eating off the pretzel isn't salt…
A few years ago, my mom brought Pringles along on the trip. Besides being a huge hit as a snack, they worked out perfectly to take to the beach. They could be thrown in a bag and get bumped around and remain in whole pieces. Once on the beach, you just open the lid, shake a few into your hand, and close that lid back up-no sand in the container, no difficulty keeping the container sealed. Now, Pringles are always on our beach shopping list.
Pringles has now introduced their new Multigrain line-Original, Cheesy Cheddar, and Creamy Ranch. We had a great time sampling all three at our house! We liked them all, but my favorite was the Cheesy Cheddar. The cool thing about these new Pringles? Pringles has initiated the "U Taste. We Donate" campaign. Supported by world famous chef Tyler Florence, Pringles will donate money to help stop childhood hunger in America. Between now and June 30, 2010, all you have to do is by a Multigrain Pringles, enter the UPC code at PringlesMultigrain.com, and Pringles will donate $1. How easy is that?
This is such an easy way to help give to others! For their efforts to end world hunger and the yummy taste of the new Multigrain Pringles line, TKDDaughter gives this a:

Melba Toast and “Dance Your Way to Hollywood”
I am that person who picks all the Melba toast out of a snack mix. I blame it on my mom who during almost the entire time she was pregnant with me could eat nothing else but Melba toast. I love using Melba toast as the base for a smoked salmon and chives appetizer (that I made up myself, thank you very much!) or to munch on with a salad. Most recently, I dipped it in a veggie ranch dip…even my husband was chowing down on that!!
If you haven't had Melba toast in awhile (or ever??? really?), I encourage you to run out and grab a box. I had no idea that there was more than one flavor-but there is! We tried the Sea Salt and Spicy 3 Pepper. I preferred the Sea Salt, but my husband preferred the Spicy 3 Pepper. You can check out some cool recipes for great summer entertaining here.
With summer on its way, we're all thinking about eating healthier and becoming more active. The people at Old London Melba snacks are helping to get people focused on this. They have launched the "Dance Your Way to Hollywood" sweepstakes. You can enter to win a trip to Hollywood where you and a guest will get private dance lessons and tickets to watch a taping of a highly popular television show. This is a four day, three night, all expenses paid trip including airfare and accommodations. Can you feel you leg muscles toning up just reading that?
Kudos to the people at Melba for making a healthy snack and a cool sweepstakes. You can enter to win until June 30th. TKDDaughter gives Melba Toast and the Dance Your Way to Hollywood sweepstakes a:

Triscuit Home Farming Movement
When I moved into my first home, I was so excited to have a place to start a garden. This first home was my grandparents' home and right next to the rectangular side porch was a small square garden in which my grandfather yearly grew his tomatoes. Using the soil that he had so lovingly tended, I created my first garden, tomatoes and a small basil plant. Thus began my love of all things basil.
This is why I am so excited about the Triscuit Home Farming movement. Triscuit, in collaboration with the non-profit organization Urban Farming, has launched the Triscuit Home Farming Movement. The purpose of the movement is to encourage home farming and to bring novice home farmers together with seasoned farmers.
Let's face it, fresh is better and healthier. There is nothing like warm tomatoes, fresh picked off the vine, or fresh herbs taken right from your own garden. And in this economy, there's nothing cheaper and easier than growing your own food.
Triscuit has made it even easier to grow your own garden by placing plantable herb seed cards in four million boxes of Triscuit. So, it's time to get farming, America. Be sure to pick up a box of Triscuit and check out their website.

Banquet Thanks a Million!
I work three jobs. My days start at 5 A.M. and it ends most nights at midnight. With just a short break in the afternoon to pick up my son and feed him dinner, time is tight. Like most parents, I would prefer to make all of our dinners from the freshest materials and always from scratch, but that's just not possible. So often, I have to turn to something fast and easy.
Banquet has been helping busy families out with dinner for 50 years now. During the last two weeks, with extra hours at work, I turned to Banquet to provide some balanced meals for my family. A favorite frozen entree of mine has always been Salisbury Steak. Now that I have a son, we can't pass up Chicken Nuggets, his favorite food! I'm so thankful to have an easy and tasty alternative for dinners!
As Banquet's way of saying thanks to all their loyal customers, they have launched their Banquet Thanks a Million Instant win game. Look for the "Thanks a Million" logo on their frozen entrees which contains a game piece for prizes ranging from a Banquet coupon to $100,000! I'd say that's a nice way to say thanks!
For giving me something less to think about at dinnertime and for giving me hope that I can get rid of one of my jobs by winning one of these prizes, TKDDaughter gives Banquet:

Hickory Farms
I have a very distinct memory of being a little girl during the holidays and my dad coming home from work. He often would show up with fruit and candies from gift baskets from clients and vendors. But, the one thing I remember more than any others was how he would come home from work with something from the Hickory Farms basket. Cheeses, summer sausage, crackers-yum!
When asked to do this review, it's the first thing I thought about-Hickory Farms equals Christmas to me. When I think about gift baskets with variety, I think Hickory Farms. I was able to sample numerous cheeses, a mustard, crackers, all from a beautiful basket. This year we have even more people to buy for and Hickory Farms is our solution. The cheese are a rich and creamy texture of high quality. Crispy crackers with a tasty mustard. There are a number of price points to choose from from the nice hostess gift to softening up the boss.
Need someone to buy for this year but don't know what to get them? Check out the Hickory Farms website and choose from a bunch of different options. With a long history of providing memories for families, Hickory Farms has shown year after year that they are your go to gift provider.
