I have emailed the winner!  CONGRATULATIONS!

Wax orchards sent me some delicious samples.  I received the Orange Passion Fudge Sauce, Classic Fudge and the Fruit Sweet.  Last night we took the Orange Passion Fudge Sauce and heated it in the microwave and used it on strawberries and angel food cake.  We all really enjoyed it.  The Orange Passion Fudge Sauce tasted wonderful on the cake and strawberries. 





Wax Orchards has a selection 100% Fruit-Sweetened Chocolate Fudge Sauces
Five mouth-watering flavors including Classic Fudge Sauce—a dark, semisweet, European sauce, Fudge Fantasy Sauce—Dark, sweet and distinct, Oh Fudge! Sauce—traditional, medium-sweet dark chocolate, Peppermint Fudge Sauce—dark chocolate carefully blended with real peppermint and Orange Passion Fudge Sauce—a fabulous combination of dark chocolate and subtle real orange flavor.

Wax Orchards Traditions

It all started on the farm.

August and Johanna Wax planted their first fruit trees in 1920 on Vashon Island, a short ferry ride from Seattle. They grew and sold tart cherries, apples, apricots, peaches, currants and gooseberries, as well as fresh apple juice from their island orchards.
They made high-fiber, thick preserves the same way the original American settlers did, using only whole ripe fruit, without water or pectin. They coined the term "fruit-sweetened" to differentiate their products from others that used sugar, corn syrup, and other sweeteners.
Sweetening with natural fruit concentrate is the foundation of our entire product line today. Wax Orchards FRUIT SWEET™ is a blend of natural fruit juice concentrates. The sugars on our nutrition labels are not added; they are the natural sugars present in fruit, along with their fiber. That's why you'll find our flavors unusually fresh and intense.
We continue August and Johanna's tradition, creating delicious, healthy alternatives for folks like you who want "All of the Sweet - None of the Sugar™". In Wax Orchards products, you will find nothing but real, pure food: no additives, no chemicals, nothing you can't pronounce. We hope you enjoy our products and would love to hear from you.

Health Benefits

Long before most people were thinking about healthy alternatives to sugar, corn syrup and other sweeteners, Wax Orchards formulated FRUIT SWEET™, a delicious and nutritious combination of 100% fruit juices, from pure, natural fruit, free of any additives.

Diabetes

FRUIT SWEET™ is an ideal choice for people suffering from diabetes and anyone concerned about healthful alternatives to sugar and sugar derivatives.

Fiber

Wax Orchards fruit syrups and chocolate fudge sauces retain the natural fiber of the fruit. Natural fruit fiber can lower blood cholesterol levels and improve digestion. Because fiber makes you feel fuller, it can help you lose weight.

Healthy Chocolate

Unlike most other chocolate fudge sauces, Wax Orchards products contain no fat, no dairy, no gluten -- just delicious, antioxidant-rich cocoa and fruit.

On their site they have some awesome recipes.  I plan to make the chocolate cake this weekend, I will post an update once the cake is baked.  

They have offered a coupon for my readers.  You can get $2.00 off every 11 oz Wax Orchards Fudge product you purchase at waxorchards.com  from now until October 1, 2011.  The code is LetsEat.  I know you will enjoy these fudge products as much as we have.  I love that they are good for diabetics because we have a lot of diabetes in our family and I love something we can feel good about.


This past Saturday I made a cake with this recipe:

THE QUICK CHOCOLATE CAKE 
Easiest, moistest, chocolatiest cake ever!
Combine: 1/4 c cooking oil 3/4 c Wax Orchards 
FRUIT SWEET™ 1 egg 1 t vanilla 1 c hot water Separately combine: 1 c flour 1/2 c unsweetened cocoa 1 t baking soda 1 t baking powder 1/4 t salt Whisk dry ingredients into wet. Bake in 8" round pan for 35-40 min at 350 degrees. Top with Wax Orchards chocolate sauce drizzles, chocolate cream cheese frosting, or  FRUIT SWEET Cream Cheese Frosting. FRUIT SWEET Cream Cheese Frosting 4oz cream cheese 1 T butter 2 to 3 T FRUIT SWEET Beat with electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Nice touch: Ice top of cake, then zigzag warm Wax Orchards chocolate sauce over cake. 


It was so moist and delicious.  I used a creamy vanilla frosting instead of cream cheese and it was really good.

Ben & Jerry's sent me 5 coupons for free pints, so that I could try them out.  I got the Peanut Brittle, Milk & Cookies, Half Baked, Red Velvet Cake and Strawberry Cheesecake.  I looked for the Late Night Snack but unfortunately it was no where to be found in my area.

Half Baked® 
Chocolate & Vanilla Ice Creams with Fudge Brownies & Gobs of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Whenever we visit our scoop shops we notice our friends combining their favorite flavors to create cool new combos. And we thought what a great idea! So we took our favorite Ben & Jerry's and swirled them together to invent some twisted flavors. Now you get more of everything! Enjoy!  The insider story on this flavor was the code name "Drakes Mistakes", Drake Wallis is the St. Albans plant manager. He came to work and reported that he was at a scoop shop over the weekend and witnessed people ordering two different flavors in the same dish.

Chocolate & Vanilla Ice Creams with Fudge Brownies & Gobs of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Ingredients: Cream, Liquid Sugar (Sugar, Water), Skim Milk, Water, Sugar, Wheat Flour, Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Brown Sugar, Butter (Cream, Salt), Egg Yolks, Eggs, Cocoa, Expeller Pressed Soybean Oil, Chocolate Liquor, Vanilla Extract, Salt, Egg Whites, Guar Gum, Molasses, Natural Flavor, Cocoa Butter, Carrageenan,  Sodium Bicarbonate, Soy Lecithin

Milk & Cookies
Vanilla Ice Cream with a Chocolate Cookie Swirl, Chocolate Chip & Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
We loved dunking our cookies in milk when we were kids, didn't you? Just because we're all grown up doesn't mean we have to stop having fun with our food. We've purposely packed this flavor full of chewy cookie bliss that's sure to bring out your inner child. Even better, this pint has more than a fair share of meaningful ingredients too, including Fair Trade certified cocoa & vanilla. It's a contribution to ice cream lovers everywhere & to a better world that creates fair & equitable opportunities for farmers & their communities. Thanks from all of us at Ben & Jerry's.

Strawberry Cheesecake
Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream with Strawberries & a Thick Graham Cracker Swirl
If you love strawberry cheesecake as much as we do, wait'll you discover the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream breakthrough we've created! Just when you think this unmistakably cheesecake-creamy, very strawberry flavor couldn't possibly taste any dreamier, the thick graham cracker swirl blissfully flips you into a whole 'nother world of cheesecake lusciousness you never knew existed. Welcome to the Strawberry Cheesecake dimension - we hope you enjoy your visit!

We have thoroughly enjoyed all five of these flavors.  My husband didn't particularly like the strawberry cheesecake but he doesn't like cheesecake.  They are all very sweet and 1/2 a cup is sufficient for a serving.  I love ice cream but didn't want more than 1/2 a cup at one time.  I love that Ben & Jerry's is a free trade company.  They are socially responsible.  They were also amazing to work with. 

Giveaway

Ben & Jerry's has agreed to mail a winner 5 coupons for a free pint of their choice.  I will choose one winner from the eligible entries and email them for their shipping information.  Ben & Jerry's will mail the coupons directly to the winner.  I will give the winner 72 hours to respond to my email, if they do not respond in time, I will have to choose another winner.

Pretzel Crisps Review and Giveaway

Jeanine said... 46
http://twitter.com/neenee_is_me/status/69145632178315264


Winner has been emailed and has 72 hours to respond with shipping information!

Congrats and thanks for participating!


About Pretzel Crisps:

In 2004, armed with a U.S. Patent for a flat pretzel cracker, the Wilson’s created a product called Pretzel Crisps® and voila! A new brand was born.

20062006 – The Pretzel Crisps® Brand Takes Flight
Although Pretzel Crisps® attracted loyal followers from day one, what really helped the brand take off – in every sense – was the introduction of a special airline-size package that put the Wilsons’ latest snack innovation in sharp contrast with blandly familiar airline pretzels. Maybe flying high in 2006 helped Pretzel Crisps® secure its place as a new fixture in the snack food category.

Buffalo Soldier2007 – Buffalo Soldier
Tinkering with new flavors, “Buffalo Wing” was an early front runner that stuck. Today, the spicy-tangy flavor made famous in the bars of Buffalo New York is still flying off the shelves.

Indulgents2008 – The Wilsons Indulge In Their Love Of Chocolate
With a proven track record of parlaying their own favorite foods into boldly original new snack innovations, the Wilsons in 2008 decided to top themselves yet again by “enrobing” their crispy salty treats in all-natural dark chocolate. The result: the beginnings of a delectable new line of enrobed pretzel crisps. Yum.

White Chocolate2009 – Oooh! White Chocolate Peppermint!
Armed with an unmarked ZipLock™ bag of a secret new flavor, White Chocolate Peppermint, Warren and Sara shared their new baby at the 2009 New York Fancy Food show. The response was overwhelmingly positive. Turns out that sweet, salty, creamy, crispy and minty all get along quite well indeed.

2010 – A New Look and a New Line.
Taking our own ‘Rethink Your Pretzel’ tagline to heart, we decided to rethink our packaging too, with brighter colors, an updated logo, and sparkling new photography. 2010 also marked the introduction of the Modern Classics line, created with the natural foods consumer in mind. Tuscan Three Cheese, Supreme, Cinnamon Toast and Classic flavors are classing up natural food stores nationwide.

I was mailed a box of the 5 Deli Style varieties which includes:

Original

Perfectly salted ORIGINAL PRETZEL CRISPS® give you that satisfying, hearty crunch in a versatile shape that’s dippable, spreadable, and deliciously snackable. With great gourmet taste from naturally wholesome ingredients, it’s the perfect snack anytime! Try ORIGINAL with salsa, hummus, chili, cheese, peanut butter and all your favorite dips, or for an off-beat sweet treat, dip [...]
deli_150x300_original

Everything

Our EVERYTHING flavor, sprinkled generously with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, onions and garlic with just a pinch of salt, more than lives up to its name. Packed with flavor, baked, not fried. EVERYTHING PRETZEL CRISPS® deliver great taste without the guilt. Delicious with nearly every spread, they’re diversely dippable, and just as satisfying by the [...]
deli_150x300_everything

Garlic Parmesan

Deli-Style GARLIC PARMESAN PRETZEL CRISPS® are a zingy twist on an old favorite, with great gourmet taste from naturally wholesome ingredients. The best part of the pretzel – that satisfying flavor and crunch – is crispy thin and baked with a light, savory garlic flavor for big flavor in a light, crispy snack. Enjoy them [...]
deli_150x300_grlcparm

Sesame

The brand new Sesame flavor is lightly toasted to bring out the sesame seed’s essential oils, adding a healthy kick to Pretzel Crisps®’ delicious crunch. Sesame seeds are naturally rich in iron, magnesium, manganese, copper, calcium, vitamin B1, E and a good source of lignans (phytoestrogens with antioxidant and anti-cancer properties). Health qualities aside, one [...]
deli_150x300_sesame

Buffalo Wing

Our Buffalo Wing flavor is a crowd pleaser! Everyone loves the spicy flavor sprinkled right on top of each crisp. Try Buffalo Wing with ranch dip, blue cheese dressing, cheddar or cream cheese spreads, and as a zesty partner for celery sticks. Or, enjoy the “just right” baked flavor as a hearty crunch all by [...]
deli_150x300_buffalo

I have tried all 5 of these and I really do love them all.  My favorite are the Buffalo Wings and then the Garlic Parmesan are a close second.  I enjoyed them and all will continue to enjoy them to the last bite.

I also received a couple coupons for a FREE Tribe Origins Hummus and some $1 off Pretzel Crisps coupons.  They also sent me a great reusable bag.

They have a cool recipes section on the website, you can check it out here:  Recipes
I really want to try the DELICIOUS HOT CRAB DIP recipe.  


They have offered the same box of pretzels that I received for a winner on my blog.

Vitalicious Review and Giveaway


Congrats to the winner #1!

MOMFOREVERANDEVER said... 1
VITABROWNIES yummm mrs.mommyyatgmail

Review

When I got home on Friday from work there was a box waiting for me.  It said to freeze upon opening.  So I opened the box saw a sampler box of Vitalicious.  The box they sent me is the SuperSampler Pack (100 Calorie Brownies & Muffin Tops)
Don't settle for smaller portions! Vitalicious products are just 100 calories per 2oz. serving size. Our low fat, high fiber products contain the right balance of nutrients, protein & wholesome natural ingredients that satisfy your hunger and conquer your cravings. So go ahead and share with the ones you love!

This Pack contains 24 all natural 100 calorie muffin tops and brownies:

4 Deep & Velvety VitaBrownies
2 Chocolate Mint VitaTops
2 Banana Nut VitaTops
2 Triple Chocolate Chunk VitaTops
2 Deep Chocolate VitaTops
2 Fudgy Peanut Butter Chip VitaTops
2 Golden Corn VitaTops
2 CranBran VitaTops
2 Apple Crumb VitaTops
2 RaisinBran VitaTops
2 Pumpkin Spice New!
This product is Kosher and contains no artificial additives or preservatives therefore we recommend freezing upon receipt. Read our care instructions to learn more.



The first one I ate was pumpkin spice.  It was so good.  I loved the seeds in it and the taste and texture of the VitaTop.
I put the rest in the freezer.  Vitalicious products do not have any preservatives so they must be frozen to keep them fresh longer.  I doubt these will last that long in our house.  They are so good.  I do not feel guilty about eating them because they are high in fiber and low in calories and fat.  

The next one I ate was the Fudgy Peanut Butter Cup.  I heated it up in the microwave for 10 seconds and then enjoyed.  It was thawed out and warm but not hot.  I think 10 seconds in the right amount of time for our microwave.  I enjoyed the VitaTop with a cup of coffee.  I loved the peanut butter chips they were so yummy.  The fudgy part was not too sweet but did taste just sweet enough.



This morning, I had the banana nut vitatop.  I really enjoyed it.  I took it with me to work, so by the time I was ready to eat it, it was already thawed out.  I had it with my cup of coffee, it was really quite filling.



Yesterday I enjoyed the Raisin Bran VitaTop.  It really tasted like raisin bran.  I enjoyed every bite of it.  I took it out of the freezer and heated it for 15 seconds and then ate with with a cup of coffee.  I love something sweet with my coffee and this was just the right amount of sweet.




The Most Delicious & Hardest Working 100 Calories on the Market
Originator of the 100-Calorie Snack Stays the Nutrition Course

NEW YORK, NY – Two years before the country’s largest food manufacturers poured millions into promoting 100-calorie portioned snacks, Aryeh Hecht had already launched the category in 2002 with his 2-ounce, 100-calorie VitaMuffins.

Though moist, chocolate chip-studded chocolate muffins and rich brownies slathered with frosting and nuts don’t sound like diet foods, Mr. Hecht’s mission with Vitalicious Foods was to create baked goods to offer sound nutrition, not just portion control.

While most of today’s 100-calorie foods are loaded with sugar, artificial ingredients and preservatives, Vitalicious baked goods still remain as eponymously “vital” and “delicious” as they were at the outset of the now thriving category.

Over the years, Vitalicious’ individually-wrapped VitaMuffin™, VitaTops™, VitaBrownies™, VitaCakes™ and VitaMuffin Mix™ have exploded in popularity among dieters and non-dieters alike because they are satisfying and provide excellent daily nutrition. In fact, clinical studies have found foods high in fiber and protein help you feel full longer and eat less.

“Just because a product only has 100 calories doesn’t mean it’s necessarily good for you,” cautions Mr. Hecht. “It’s not just about portion control; it’s about taking care of your daily nutrition needs while satisfying your craving for something delicious.” 

Vitalicious fortifies its products with nutraceuticals, vitamins and nutrients your body needs to stay healthy and energetic. Vitalicious also takes pride in producing only all-natural products, without any artificial additives or preservatives of any kind.

Here is the VitaBreakdown of what you get in each individually-wrapped serving:



  • 100 calories                               
  • No artificial ingredients
  • No preservatives
  • Whole grains
  • 5g - 6g of fiber
  • 0g - 1.5g of fat
  • 3g - 4g protein
  • 15 vitamins and minerals

It's Friday!!

I am so happy it's Friday. I am home for the weekend and it feels great. I am so tired and just want to relax for the weekend. I am going to cook something new tomorrow, so look for a blog post about that. I think I'll make one of those homemade frappucinos tonight. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
