Popcornopolis Organic Nearly Naked Brings You Amazing Popcorn!

March 25, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

My family loves popcorn and we are always looking for great popcorn to share as a family and recently we just had the chance to try the Organic Nearly Naked Popcornopolis popcorn and we were really impressed.

Popcornopolis and Organic Nearly Naked can be found in Costco and the bags of popcorn are huge. Even better though is that the popcorn tastes amazing. The popcorn is lightly salted and with so much that you get in one bag you can enjoy it for days or with many movies.

At only $5.39 a bag, this is a great price and as mentioned is quite large based on other bags of popcorn I have seen in the store before. Also, with this being organic, you get natural goodness all in one bag.

Even better, there is a great deal that will be available at Costco soon as from April 19 – May 13, the cost will drop to $3.49.

December 7, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

When you are watching the big game with friends you definitely need to have snacks at the ready and Hormel Foods has exactly what you need to make the game day memorable. Just recently I was able to have my own Hormel party using the newthat are available at Walmart and other locations too. We had a few family and friends over to watch the last big game and it was so easy to have out the Hormel Gatherings tray as it had everything that we needed to be able to be ready for the snack cravings of people. As I was shopping for the tray that I selected I was impressed by the array of different options that my local stare had available. Whether you needed a small tray or a large one, Hormel Gatherings had you covered.

The food in the Hormel Gatherings® Party Tray that I selected was so fresh and while my kids wanted to eat all of the snack food for themselves, I had to keep enough for our family and friends too.

Everyone loved the snacks. They told me multiple times that they really liked the tray and all of the snacks.

What was great about the Hormel Gatherings® Party Trays is that you can have your football gatherings without the worry or hassle of slaving away in the kitchen to get things ready for the gathering.

So whether you are celebrating a great football game or just a gathering with family and friends, the new Hormel Gatherings® Party Trays will definitely help make your party run even smoother!

Entenmann’s Little Bites® – Perfect For On The Go Snacking!

April 14, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

After applying countless hours of loving Entenmann’s® care in crafting the perfect, “just right” recipes. Entenmann’s Little Bites snacks and Little Bites® Snackin’ Bites mini bars are baked soft and moist and delicious. – See more at: https://www.littlebites.com/content/how-were-made#sthash.RGxZxFpc.dpuf

When it comes to breakfasts at my house, I can tell you it is all hands on deck. It is always busy and sometimes it is hard to have enough time to make a meal for which we can be proud. However, there are times when we can find items that are made with high quality ingredients that can be given to our daughters. That is why I was excited to learn about the new Entenmann’s Little Bites.

While I have daughters that are picky when it comes to what they eat, but when trying the new Entenmann’s Little Bites they were clamoring for more.

They also loved that the new Entenmann’s Little Bites and they loved even more the fact that the newest packaging connected to the new Smurfs movie too. With the blueberry muffins that we recently tried I think the kids thought they were eating Smurfberries!

The packages of Entenmann’s Little Bites were the perfect size for my daughters and filled them up. They could also take them on the go wherever they were going.

Here is also a video that shows you some of the behind the scenes about how these Entenmann’s Little Bites are made:

If you have never tried the new Entenmann’s Little Bites I highly recommend this, either for breakfast, lunch, a snack or any time.

Revolution Foods Offers Delicious, Nutrient-Dense Meals For Lunch On The Run

Having ‘lunch on the run’ is something that is necessary in today’s busy world, but there aren’t many on-the-go meals that are nutritious and taste good. That’s why Revolution Foods offers Lunch Bundles – delicious, nutrient-dense meals that are packed with protein and fiber, and are lower in saturated fat, sodium and sugar than comparable brands. And – parents can feel extra great about choosing Lunch Bundles because Revolution Foods donates 1 percent of all retail sales toward helping schools serve fresh, healthy meals to students.

My Take on the Lunches

These lunches were so easy to pack and my kids loved them. Best of all they are not packed with empty calories and other things that I have found in some other lunch grab and go type meals in the past. There is a great mix of options in these and my kids have loved expressing their own creativity in not only how they eat these but how they share them too. All-in-all I am glad to have had a chance to try these with my own kids as the quality speaks for themselves!

About Revolution Foods

Founded by two moms on a mission to transform the way America eats, Revolution Foods set out to solve the problem of limited access to healthy meals. The company’s innovative approach began with serving freshly prepared, healthy meals to students in schools nationwide, and the company is now serving over 1.5 million school meals every week in 15 states.

Naturebox Gives You Amazing Lunch Box Snacks!

September 30, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

When it comes to snacks my kids are always cleaning out our cupboards whether it is before school, after school or begging for great snacks for their school lunches. So as you can probably guess, J-Mom and I are always trying to make sure that the snacks that we do have in stock are high quality with great ingredients. While we usually look at our local stores, sometimes we have a hard time finding the quality non-processed foods available.

Lately we have turned online to make our life easier, and we recently learned about NatureBox. NatureBox is a company the focusses on high quality snacks delivered right to your door. You simply go online to their website, create a plan for the number of snacks that you prefer, select your snacks and you are off.

When we first went to the site and started looking around, my first impression was WOW, there are some amazing snacks here that I have never seen anywhere else. On top of this, the price for the high quality natural snacks was reasonable and the convenience of delivery was even better. Some of the things I was most impressed with was that Naturebox seemed to offer the customer bold and delicious snacks as well as a personalized experience for me. On top of this, you could tell that they truly take pride in the snacks that they are creating and that they are thoughtful when it comes to putting together the snacks themselves. The snacks offered no artificial content and was made with high quality materials, which is what I want for my children’s lunches, but also for anytime snacking too.

Looking through the NatureBox snacks we selected about 7 that we wanted to try for ourselves that ranged from Salted Carmel Pretzel Pops to Sriracha cashews to roasted pumpkin seeds and more.

Not only were the NatureBox snacks ones that J-Mom and I loved, but my kids actually liked them too. The snacks tasted fresh and were just the right size. They a;so were the perfect size for use to use to incorporate into our kids’ lunches and we have been surprising them with fund snacks everyday this week thus far and when they came home they asked for more (which is always a great sign).

I am VERY impressed with NatureBox snacks and if you try them for yourself, you will love this as well! Check out the NatureBox snacks and see for yourself!

You Too Can Be A Soccer #SidelineHero!

May 4, 2015 by dadofdivas 1 Comment

She shoots, she scores! That is always something that a father loves to hear, especially when it comes to his own daughter this time of year. Being a Soccer Dad, you are called on to not only be there to cheer on your own child and the entire soccer team, but many times you are also called on, sometimes at the last minute to be a #SidelineHero during practices or during or prior to a game. There have been many instances where I have been called on to bring in a snack, and while I know it would be oh so easy to purchase unhealthy snacks, I know that what the girls really need is healthy snacks and other things that will allow them to recoup their own energy lost during the game or practice and one way I do that is with a Powerade Game 12-pack and some fresh fruit!

You see, so often this time of year my daughter is running from one game to the next. Even this past weekend, we had soccer practice on Friday, and a game on Saturday and Sunday. By the end of the weekend she is wiped and so are her teammates. As a dad, I can definitely empathize with that and I want to do what I can to help.

Sometimes even when I am not asked to I will head over to my local Walmart to pick up some POWERADE® Game 12-Pack drinks just to give the girls a pick-me-up. Why POWERADE®? For me, as a dad, I like that the POWERADE® ION4® Advanced Electrolyte System helps replenish four electrolytes lost in sweat: sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium that they lose when they perspire (or is it glisten. Also that POWERADE® is formulated with Vitamins B3, B6, & B12 to support energy metabolism, and a 6% carbohydrate solution to help provide energy to working muscles. I also mix this with fresh fruit. Sometimes I go all out and create something unique like you see below, and sometimes it is simply having something like apples, or bananas on hand to fill them up just enough with good stuff and not just bringing the traditional processed food that I know tastes good to them, but also that I know will not be good for their growing bodies.

I do what I can to be a #SidelineHero. I am not trying to be a Superdad in any sense, just a Dad that wants the best for his daughters and for her teammates too!

Below is a recipe that you can try at home!

Game Day #SidelineHero Soccer Skewers

Select your favorite fruit. There are so may to choose from at your local Walmart! I chose the following for my Skewers based on their texture, flavor and color:

Bananas
Blueberries
Kiwi
Pineapple
Apple Slices
Strawberries
Rasberries
Blackberries

Take the fruit and cut into 1 inch X 1/2 inch sections (all except the blueberries and strawberries) – large enough to make sure that they can fit through the skewers themselves.

Once cut, take wooden skewers and thread the fruit on individual skewers. You can select the order of the fruit and get creative.

There is no set number that you have to make, but I typically make enough so that each girl on the team can have two skewers and I bring enough for their brothers and sisters that are inevitably there and want a snack too!

Look for a coupon on the 12-pack 12 oz POWERADE® packages and you can get $1 off Walmart fresh produce when you buy two 12-pack 12 oz POWERADE®. Hurry this deal is only available while supplies lasts!

SNICKERS ® Asks, Who Do I Become #WhenImHungry ?

March 24, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

See more great SNICKERS® recipes and fun stories on the SNICKERS® social hub

When I’m hungry, I’m hungry. No ifs, ands, or buts. This is especially true in the mid-afternoons. I get into a mid-afternoon slump and for me I just need a little pick me up that gives me a little boost and back on track for the rest of the day. I am especially looking for snacks that can give me protein and a bit of sweetness and this is where SNICKERS® comes in. Thus, I was really excited to be asked to go out and pick up a few of these great candy bars at my local Speedway convenience store thanks to #CollectiveBias.

Snickers-#WhyImHungry

Lately I have been seeing Snickers’ campaign asking who you become when your’re hungry? I love this #WhenImHungry campaign as I have felt this way many times, especially after a hard day, where everything seems to be going wrong, or when you just are lacking in energy. That being said, I would have to say that sometimes I feel like the Whiners on SNL

I feel like this until I get my day back on track and getting that extra protein and energy really helps.

I had not tried some of the new varieties of SNICKERS® that are on the market. That being said, I have to say that the Snickers Extreme and the SNICKERS® Peanut Butter are probably my favorites. They are both really different, but both are amazing!

Snickers-#WhyImHungry

I love to have these snacks in my desk for those emergency days. I will be honest and say that these are not for the everyday occurrence, but I do need them every now and again and when I do, having them on hand really helps. As you can see in the pictures, I have kept a few in my backpack (I have had to use this lately due to the fact that I am on crutches with a broken ankle), but also in my desk drawer too. Both are great places that help me to have the energy I need when I need it.

SNICKERS-WhyImHungry

I also have to comment that I appreciate that they have broken the Snickers into two halves. This allowed me to be able to ration what I ate and limit the calories too. It is not always easy to be good and only eat one half, but the package is made so that I can and this really makes it convenient to help be be good! It also helps you in your portion controls too, so if you are trying to watch your portions this will definitely help. The Snickers bars also are great because they fill you up. With the amount of protein that you have in each bar you get a ton of protein that definitely fills you up between meals (or at least it did for me).

With SNICKERS® I no longer need to be one of the Whiners and instead I can get my day back on track and finish off the day strong and you can too!

You can have some fun and tell who you are when you are hungry too to win some great prizes!

Enter the SNICKERS® “Who are you when you’re hungry?” contest by uploading a personal photo or video from your Computer, Facebook, Instagram or use the SNICKERS® Meme Generator to create something new! Voting begins at Noon on 5/11/15 and ends at 11:59:59AM ET on 7/15/15.

How do you handle your hunger? Which flavor of SNICKERS® bars are your absolute favorite? I would love to hear! Leave a comment below!

Hickory Farms is Perfect For the Holidays!

December 8, 2014 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

For more than 60 years Hickory Farms gifts have been a classic holiday tradition that brings family and friends together. This season, nearly 600 Hickory Farms kiosks will open in select retailers across North America. We offer a variety of specialty foods and holiday food gifts that are perfect for any budget and for everyone on your list this year. A full product list can be found on the website linked above.

This year Hickory Farms is excited to introduce its first-ever Signature Chocolate Collection. The 1lb chocolate assortment offers the true taste of American confectionary craftsmanship. Each piece is cooked in small batches using the finest ingredients and paired with premium milk or dark chocolate.

Hickory Farms also has 5 products that they offer free shipping to military APO and FPO addresses, including the “Festive Cheese Sampler” gift basket and “Beef Hearty Hickory” basket, so if you have friends or loved ones who are serving, this could be a great gift option.

In addition, Hickory Farms is proud to support Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign. Share Our Strength is the leading non-profit organization working to end childhood hunger in America by connecting children in need with nutritious food. For each Party Planner gift box sold this holiday season, Hickory Farms will donate $5 to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign.

My Take on the Gift Pack

This was a great gift pack and seeing that I received it right before Thanksgiving I was able to tear into it right away. I have to say that the meat was succulent and the cheese was amazing. For the price this is a great gift for that hard to buy for individual, as you have quite a few gift packs to choose from. I, for one was very impressed and could think of at least a handful of people that would love a gift like this. That being said I would have no qualms purchasing this for myself or for a gift and encourage everyone else to check it out too. I think you will be impressed with the variety that Hickory Farms offers and the quality of the items that you receive is top notch too.

Warm Up The Winter With Great New @Sunchips #giveaway

December 5, 2013 by dadofdivas 1 Comment

A brand new flavor, just in time for the holidays. Sun Chips, a brand I have loved for years just came out with a new Sweet & Spicy BBQ flavor that is out of this world! I love flavor and this new variety is loaded with it. The chips themselves are definitely a bit sweet & spicy so it leaves a great taste on the tip of your tongue when you are done (IMHO).

So I cannot say enough great things about this, nor about the brand. My kids also love Sun Chips and I have to say that as soon as we have a bag in the house it seems to very quickly disappear. All-in-all whether you like the new variety or if you have never tried them, try any or all, you will not be disappointed!

My Take on Fruit Bursts

I was luck enough to try these new products out and they taste great! I loved the idea that I could provide this great tasting product in the lunches of my kids. With the low sugar amount and the ease in which these can be opened by my daughters. My daughters loved both varieties that we tried but they preferred the strawberry ones. With school lunches being something we have to do daily, having an easy fix to provide in the lunch or for a snack makes my life so much easier, and when my kids love it like they loved the taste of these, it is that much better!
