Gnu Foods Review

Gnu Foods sent me a case of their bars to sample and review.  I had never tried these before and was really pleasantly surprised.  I enjoyed the flavor & fiber combination.  Gnu Foods was introduced in 2004.  They are dedicated to making food that works.  Gnu bars help with weight management, support health and promote regularity.  They have 7 delicious flavors.  I tried the Cinnamon Raisin first.  I had it for breakfast with a cup of coffee.  It was very filling and I was truly full after eating it.  I did not get hungry again for at least three hours.  I couldn't wait to try the Chocolate Brownie bar next.  I have to be honest and tell you that this was my least favorite.  I enjoyed it but not as much as I enjoyed the other flavors.

If you want to know where you can buy Gnu Foods near you just go to their store finder here.  They sell them at a store near me and I'm sure they are sold near you all as well.  I really recommend that you try these.  They are good tasting and healthy.  It's a nice way to start your day or a great snack. 

My family and I enjoyed each of the flavors.  Even though the chocolate brownie wasn't my favorite, it was my husband's favorite.  These bars are entirely natural and great for your heart health as well.  They are a wonderful addition to a well balanced diet. 

Alpine Valley Coffee Review & Giveaway Ends 10/27/11 at 7 PM EST

I just discovered a new way to get my k-cups.  Do you have a Keurig Brewer?  Here's some Keurig Coffee Brewing information from Alpine Valley's site:

If you haven’t already, then it’s definitely time to join the Keurig Coffee Brewing revolution. Keurig has changed the way that coffee lovers enjoy coffee. The days of wasted pots of coffee and inconsistent flavor are gone. With a Keurig coffee brewing system, you are guaranteed the perfect cup of coffee every time – and with virtually no clean-up or hassle in the process. We’ve all become so accustomed to the chore of brewing a pot of coffee that it doesn’t seem like there’s too much to improve upon. But that could not be further from the truth.

In addition to the fantastic quality that Keurig delivers with every perfect cup, the selection and convenience of K-Cup Coffee pods opens up an entirely new world to coffee drinkers.

Discover a Keurig Coffee System

With K-Cups and the Keurig Coffee System, you can buy cup-sized pods of the world’s finest coffees and try them all without ever purchasing more than you need for a single cup. It is truly revolutionary!
Every Keurig coffee system is attractively designed and there are several sizes to suit your coffee volume and aesthetic preferences. Keurig is positioned clearly at the leading edge of coffee technology and enjoyment. After a few days with your new Keurig coffee system, brewing entire pots of coffee for only a few cups will no longer make sense to you.

So now that you know about Keurig Coffee Brewers, you really should check out Alpine Valley Coffee to get your brewer and your k-cups.  I just found them and they sent me a couple boxes of 24 k-cups of the limited edition pumpkin spice.

They have prices as low as $12.75 for 22 to 24 count boxes.  This is a great price on k-cups.  They also have free shipping when you spend over $45 on your order, some restrictions apply.  I am very impressed with the quality of service I received from Alpine Valley Coffee!  I will definitely use them for my future coffee purchases.  I really do love the convenience of k-cups and the flavor is the best. 

I really enjoyed the Pumpkin Spice.  I haven't ever tried that flavor of coffee before, but I do love the creamer with the pumpkin spice flavor, so I figured I would love the coffee as well.  This is a great way to get the flavor without the calories.  I enjoyed it black and with milk.  I liked it both ways.  When you brew a cup of pumpkin spice you will have the best smell in the kitchen.  I love it!

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 1/2 cups Fritos corn chips or 1 1/2 cups other corn chips
• 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.
