Real Moms Love to Eat by Beth Aldrich

I just discovered a book call Real Moms Love to Eat by Beth Aldrich with Eve Adamson.  The title alone is enough to make you want to read the book.  Isn't it?  I have not read the book yet, but I am excited to get it and I know I will enjoy it.  I found some information about the book on their website and decided to share some of it with you.

"Let’s face it, you’re a Real Mom and like most moms, you love to eat. The problem is most of the time there is guilt and frustration surrounding our decisions to give in and eat the foods we enjoy, like weight gain, physical reactions to food and the could’a, would’a, should’a, syndrome.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with loving food; it’s the type of food you choose to love that is the problem. Like a torrid affair, you know it’s not good for you but having a love affair with your own husband is good for you, in fact, it’s great! You wouldn’t jeopardize your marriage for a one-night stand, so why would you do it to your own body with unhealthy food choices. The devastation is the same!  Real Moms Love to Eat was created with you in mind. It will lead you on a food journey of excitement, fun and new surprises, without pigeon-holing you into one eating style or another. Instead, you are free to experiment, get crazy and become more open-minded about the food you will soon discover. It’s a love affair like no other–with huge rewards of looking fabulous.

Real Moms Love to Eat will be your ONE source for tasty, fresh, whole food meals, creative recipes and food facts that will keep you looking fabulous and feeling energized and fulfilled.  With video recipes, TV clips, Real Moms on the radio, Food Flirt Friday (fun desserts or luscious surprises), Whine & Dine Wednesday (where we’ll answer your food questions or solve your kitchen inquiry or simply suggest a good bottle of wine), and Meal Planning Monday where recipes and nutritional solutions steal the show, we hope you’ll make Real Moms Love to Eat your regular go-to site for food, fun, healthy inspiration and a place where you are the star (we’ll feature your blog, recipe or food tip).  Let the eating begin!"

Don't you want to read the book now?  They also have a blogging program that you can participate in.  I have signed up and I know you will want to as well.  It's call the Food Affairiate Program and you can sign up at http://www.realmomslovetoeat.com/food-affairiate-tool-kit/.  All registered Food Affairiates who write a review will receive a digital copy of the book now and then a final paper copy when they come out on January 3rd, a goodie bag filled with swag from our book tour sponsors AND be entered to randomly WIN one of the following: Top of the Line Kitchen Blender, Compact Food Processor, Kitchen bakeware, Kitchen utensil goodie basket, cutting boards and a couple other secret prizes!*All winners will be announced on this page after January 3, 2012.

I am waiting patiently for my digital copy of the book and I will let you know when I get it.  I can't wait to get started on it.  This sounds like an amazing book and opportunity.  If you can wait to get started here is a little more information.

my everyday “sweet moment is cookies

August 24, 2011 1:29 PM  

Hollywood Cookie Diet Review & Giveaway Ends 8/24/11 at 7 PM EST

I received the Hollywood Cookie Diet to sample and review.  I got a box of each of the flavors.  I have tried all four and love each of them.  My favorite is the chocolate chip cookie.  I had one cookie for breakfast and then another for a mid morning snack.  These cookies are so good.  They do not leave me feeling hungry right after eating them.  They do not have too much sugar, so there's not a sugar crash after eating a Hollywood Cookie Diet cookie.  I love the Hollywood Cookie Diet.  I did not feel deprived.  I felt full and satisfied after eating a cookie.  They really are amazing cookies.

They have four different varieties to choose from.  I enjoyed all four of the varieties.  We all know that to lose weight we have to restrict calories, but that is easier said than done. When hunger strikes, diets fail. The Hollywood Cookie Diet works by satisfying your hunger and your sweet tooth. Simply eat up to four cookies a day, replacing breakfast and lunch, and eat a sensible dinner. Eat a cookie for breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch and mid-afternoon snack. The Hollywood Cookie Diet works because it is a low calorie diet based on caloric restriction by meal replacement and portion control.

We all know that to lose weight we have to restrict calories, but that is easier said than done. When hunger strikes, diets fail.

Eat a cookie for breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch and mid-afternoon snack. The Hollywood Cookie Diet works because it is a low calorie diet based on caloric restriction by meal replacement and portion control.

Each cookie is individually wrapped for eating on-the-go. Take a tasty meal with you to the office, on the plane, on the road, to the gym, or anywhere else you go. Each cookie is also a good source of fiber and protein.

Based on the recommended 4 cookies per day (approximately 600 calories) and a light sensible dinner (approximately 800 calories), the average person who was consuming 3000 calories (or more) per day will lose approximately 15 pounds per month. Of course every individual is unique and results will vary based on many factors. An increase in exercise will help to increase weight loss.

This may be the last diet you will ever need. Use The Hollywood Cookie Diet for as long as you want until you achieve your weight loss goals. You can also use the The Hollywood Cookie Diet as a maintenance program. Always keep a cookie in your car, in your office, or anywhere you get hungry, so you can enjoy a satisfying treat and not gain weight.

I am very pleased with the quality of the product as well as the taste.  I know that this diet will be successful because I am cutting calories.  Cutting calories is the best way to lose weight.  Exercise is important too but cutting calories makes the pounds fall off.

The sponsor has offered to give a box of each of the varieties to a lucky winner from my blog.  If you would like to enter, see the giveaway below.

Tastes From Home Recipe & Givewaway Ends 8/18/11 at 7 PM EST

I would like to share with you a recipe that reminds me of being back at home.  I grew up in Ocala, FL and we had a fairly large family.  So we always had meals for a large group of people.  One recipe that I have always loved is my Mom's Frito Casserole.  I am going to share her recipe with you, it's not original, I'm sure someone along the way gave it to her.  We have enjoyed this casserole as a family for years.


Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef, cooked and drained
• 1 (16 ounce) can chili with beans
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 carton sour cream
• taco sauce

Directions:

1. Mix Ground Beef with Chili.
2. Layer in 9x13 Pan: Fritos, Meat/Chili Mixture, Cheddar Cheese.
3. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
4. Top with taco sauce, sour cream, and fritos to taste when serving.

This is a great dish to serve at football games and at other fun events.  Everyone in the family loves to eat Frito Casserole.  It's easy to prepare and tastes great.

Frito-Lay has created several new, regionally inspired chips made with all natural ingredients.

I can't wait to try them all, but I am most looking forward to trying the Chipotle Ranch and the Tangy Carolina BBQ sounds good too.

Lay's would like to giveaway a variety pack of Lay's Regional Flavors Potato Chips.  If you want to enter just see the giveaway below and enter to win.

Sans Sucre Review & Giveaway Ends 8/17/11 at 7 PM EST

Review:


I received four baking mixes to sample and review.  We love sweets but we do not need a lot of sugar in our diets so I couldn't wait to try these out.  Here's some information about the company:

Bernard Food Industries Introduces Sans Sucre Baking Mixes

New Naturally Sweetened, Sugar-Free and No Sugar Added Mixes

Evanston, Ill (July 25, 2011) - Foodservice industry specialists Bernard Food Industries, Inc. recently launched a new line of sugar-free and no sugar added baking mixes sweetened with all-natural Stevia.  Sans Sucre, meaning “sugar free” in French, is available online and will be available at retail stores beginning in the fourth quarter.

“Over the course of our 60+ year history, we have been dedicated to providing healthy dieting options. The Sans Sucre baking mix line is our first line of naturally sweetened products,” says Steven Bernard, chief executive officer of Bernard Food Industries.

By using Stevia, an all-natural sweetener, Sans Sucre is able to produce baking mixes that have great taste and are naturally sweetened without additional sugar. According to the Mintel Sugar-Free Foods Survey, 24 percent of Americans watch their sugar intake. As this increasing number of people is staying away from processed foods that contain high amounts of sugar, preservatives and artificial ingredients, Sans Sucre is a great option for healthy eaters, diabetics and dieters alike.

Along with being naturally sweetened, the Sans Sucre baking mixes are sugar-free or no sugar added, low fat, no cholesterol, lower in calories and lower in sodium. These nutritional facts appeal to the 90 percent of adults that consume low calorie or reduced fat foods on a regular basis, according to the Calorie Control Council.

The Sans Sucre baking mix line includes: Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake, Milk Chocolate Brownie, Classic Blondie Brownie and Chocolate Fudge Brownie. They are available for a suggested retail price of $3.99 - $4.49. 

Note: Sans Sucre line of baking mixes is the first to use Stevia in place of sugar or artificial sweeteners.  Stevia is an all-natural sugar substitute that is sweet in taste and free of calories, carbohydrates and fat, making it a healthy alternative. However, there is a distinct difference in taste between Stevia and regular sugar. “Like soda and diet soda both Stevia and sugar have different flavor profiles.” says Steven Bernard, chief executive officer of Bernard Food Industries.

About Sans Sucre Baking Mixes

Sans Sucre is the first line of baking mixes from foodservice industry specialists, Bernard Food Industries, Inc that are flavored with Stevia, an all-natural sweetener. In addition, they are sugar-free or no sugar added, low fat, no cholesterol, lower in calories and lower in sodium. For more information visit: www.sanssucrefoods.com.

About Bernard Food Industries

Since 1947, Bernard Food Industries, Inc. has been dedicated to providing solutions to the foodservice industry.  Family owned and operated by the Bernard family, Bernard Food Industries, Inc. has 1,000 specialty food products, including beverages, soups, seasonings, sauces, baking mixes, and more. Of those products, 350 are dietary in nature. For more information visit: www.bernardfoods.com or www.edietshop.com.

First we tried the Milk Chocolate Brownie Mix.  It was moist and fluffy.  It tasted much better than we were expecting since it has no added sugar.  These brownies are amazing.  I really enjoyed every bite and felt good about the fact that they were not too bad for us to eat.

Next we tried the Classic Blondie Brownie Mix.  I love Blondie's they are my favorite thing in the whole world.  I couldn't wait to taste these.  I was pleasantly surprised that I loved these as well.  When they were baking I couldn't wait for them to finish because they smelled so good.  I had one with a glass of milk, it was a wonderful treat.

We also received the Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake Mix and the Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix.  We have not tried these yet, but I know that they will be excellent because the two we tried were.  I plan on having the Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake this weekend for breakfast and the Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix sometime next week.

These mixes are easy to prepare, just follow the instructions written right on the box.  You really will not miss the added sugar.  It's actually nice to have a great tasting treat without the sugar.  I am really loving these baking mixes.

You can buy these mixes at amazon and edietshop.

If you would like to enter to win one of each of these mixes just enter the giveaway below.

Peanut Butter & Co. Review & Giveaway Ends 8/10/11 at 7PM EST

Peanut Butter & Co sent me two varieties to sample and review.  I received the Crunch Time and the Dark Chocolate Dreams.  I love peanut butter but other than creamy and crunchy I haven't ever really had any different kinds.  I was excited to try these two and see if I liked them.  I tried the Crunch Time first.

Crunch Time

Our great-tasting all-natural peanut butter just got even better! We've reformulated Crunch Time so that it is now in the No-Stir Natural style. We've added a little bit of palm fruit oil (containing zero cholesterol and zero trans fats) to keep the peanut oil from separating. This means no more stirring the oil back in! Made of peanuts blended with great big pieces of chopped peanuts, a little bit of salt, and a little bit of cane juice for sweetness, this delicious no-stir version brings you closer to the peanut butter of your childhood without the high fructose corn syrup and the hydrogenated oil!

It sells for $5 on their website.  I really enjoyed this.  I normally like creamy peanut butter but on occasions I prefer the crunchy.  I had this on toast first.  It's so good.  My family and I really enjoyed this peanut butter.

Next I tried the Dark Chocolate Dreams.

Dark Chocolate Dreams

Our all natural peanut butter blended with rich dark chocolate. It's like a peanut butter cup in a jar! Great on a sandwich, but just as wonderful spooned over ice cream, spread on fruits, or simply eaten out of the jar. It's equally delicious as an ingredient in your all-time favorite baked goodies like chocolate cake and bread pudding. It contains no cholesterol, no trans fats, no hydrogenated oils, and no high-fructose corn syrup. It is also gluten-free, certified vegan, and certified kosher pareve by the Orthodox Union. The shelf life is 6 months after opening, if stored in a cool, dry place.
I love peanut butter and I love chocolate so I knew I was going to love this kind.  It's amazing.  It really is like a peanut butter cup in a jar.  I had this on toast, it was good.  I had this on ice cream, it was amazing.  I had this with graham crackers, it was delicious.  I enjoyed it on everything.  We are in love with Dark Chocolate Dreams from Peanut Butter & Co.

I am so excited to have found new peanut butters that I love.  If you would like to enter to win 2 jars of peanut butter see the Giveaway below.

We enjoyed the Tuscan Roasted Garlic Bread by making sandwiches.  I made cold sandwiches and grilled cheese sandwiches with it and it was delicious either way.

I used the English Muffins to make breakfast sandwiches.  These muffins are very sturdy.  With an egg and cheese on them they are very filling.  I also ate them with jam and they are good that way too.

I am very impressed with Rudi's Organic Bakery.  This is some really good bread.

Honey Ridge Farms Review & Giveaway Ends 7/30/11 at 7 PM EST

About Us

	A Family Business We believe honey is nature's best and most delicious sweetener. That's why we founded Honey Ridge Farms in 2004. We are located in Brush Prairie, WA and provide high-quality, all-natural specialty gourmet honeys and honey-based specialty foods.  We're part of a long line of beekeepers; in fact, our son is a fifth-generation beekeeper who works alongside his grandfather tending hives.  Our first artisan honey produced was Wild Blackberry from Washington and Oregon. Today we offer a variety of single-floral source artisan honeys from the western United States, as well as other all natural honey-based gourmet foods. Our award-winning Balsamic Honey Vinegar is truly unique and delicious - offering aged balsamic-style vinegar made entirely from honey.  It's intriguingly complex flavor adds another dimension to salads, sauces and marinades. We sell a wide selection of fruit and spiced honey crèmes, honey-based vinegars, grilling sauces and honey glazes.  You can buy our products from our website, from various online retailers, and at retail stores throughout the country.
Our Commitment to Quality Honey Ridge Farms was built upon offering the highest quality and value in its specialty gourmet honeys. We are dedicated to sourcing these premium honeys by supporting local artisan beekeepers from several states. We now offer three varieties of honey from the Pacific Northwest – Wild Blackberry, Star Thistle and Pumpkin Blossom. California varieties include Black Button Sage and Orange Blossom.
	Our Challenge Because of our dedication to the apiculture industry and our partnership with local beekeepers, Honey Ridge Farms donates a portion of our profits from our Balsamic Honey Vinegar to help fund research to promote bee colony health. Significant problems face the honey bee and beekeeping industries. Since one-third of our food source depends on honeybee pollination, funding research is essential to maintaining bee colony health. We invite you to sign up for our email specials, monthly newsletter and new product news. Leeanne Goetz Owner Honey Ridge Farms

Review 
I received the mild honey grilling sauce to review.  It is so good.  We used it to grill chicken.  The flavor is great.  My family really enjoyed this grilling sauce.

Honey Grilling Sauces

Honey Ridge Grilling Sauce (Mild)

$6.99

Our mild version combines sweet with a mild sting of spicy heat.  An excellent choice for glazing ribs, beef, chicken and seafood.

I also received the apricot honey creme to review.  It's so good.  I put this on a croissant or biscuit and it tasted amazing. 

Honey Crème Apricot

Starting at: $8.99

This smooth, creamy spread with subtle notes of fragrant apricot is a customer favorite. Produced by Honey Ridge Farms, our honey crèmes are blended with the highest-quality fruits and spices. These honey crèmes are never cooked. This retains the natural goodness of the fruit and honey in a smooth, spreadable blend. Slather on warm buttered toast, scones, muffins, pancakes and waffles. Add it to hot coffees and teas. An ideal hostess present, teacher treat or gift for the food lover in your life.

You can enter here to win one grill sauce and creme, the sponsor will select the flavor.
