#MyBlogSpark Mott's Medleys Giveaway & Review

Mott's Medleys are wonderful!! They come in the perfect size snack pack perfect for my little ones and we can carry them anywhere without worrying about a mess. We loved the berry flavor, it was fresh and summery and the assorted fruit was good too. Made with real fruit & vegetable juice and natural colors and flavors. Not intended to replace fruit or vegetables in the diet but, sweet tasting snack you can feel good about.

Already Mott’s Medleys Snacks have been perfect to slip into my son's backpacks while on the road traveling back and forth to the doctors office with my mom. They would be perfect anywhere cause they come in individual wrapped packages of 10 snacks.

Better Oats wanted to share:

This Saturday, October 29th is National Oatmeal Day, so Better Oats wanted to send along a handful of fun facts about why this time-honored breakfast should be celebrated
.
   Remember oatmeal baths from when you had the chicken pox? Well, oatmeal baths can also be used for relief from poison ivy, insect bites, sunburns and dry skin!

   Having a light snack -- like a bowl of oatmeal -- a few hours before bedtime may help you sleep better, says Mayoclinic doctor.

   They can be enjoyed sweet or savory.  Try some of these dinner recipes from Time magazine.

   According to Real Simple contributor and registered dietitian Susan Kleiner, Ph.D., eating the same breakfast everyday "like oatmeal with seeds and nuts"  is one quick ritual for a better day. Read more here.

   Whether it's steel-cut or instant, an oat is an oat is an oat, says Cooking Light.  Flattening and steaming does not remove whole-grain benefits, so you get all of the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and oaty fiber from either type.

  This National Oatmeal Day, be sure to celebrate with a quick and delicious bowl of Better Oats.  Our instant oatmeal can be enjoyed for breakfast on hectic mornings, as an afternoon treat, for dinner or as a late-night snack!  Made with 100% whole grain oats and flax seeds in every pouch, our 23 varieties of Better Oats are sure to keep you and your family satisfied.
  
  Please join our Oat Revolution by spreading the word about Better Oats and National Oatmeal Day on your social media channels (blogs, Facebook, Twitter).  Below are a few links to our social media pages that we encourage you to share with family and friends.
  
  In fact, we're currently offering a "Buy three, Save $1.00" coupon on our Facebook page, so we hope you enjoy our products this holiday weekend.

Farm Rich New Stuffed Pretzel Bites Review & Giveaway

Farm Rich Foods are a perfect choice, weather your pulling together a family meal or just an after school snack. Farm Rich recently introduced Stuffed Pretzel Bites, its first new product in 2011. As you may know Farm Rich uses premium ingredients and their products have only 110 calories per serving and 3 grams, and  0g trans fats per serving.

I usually prefer most prepared foods out of the conventional oven but, these are great and fast out of the microwave. No surprise Stuffed Pretzel Bites taste great, after all they are a Farm Rich product. Fully stuffed with cheese and golden brown crust surrounds them.

I like the softness of the Stuffed Pretzel Bites crust. My boys and I both love the gooey cheese swishing out of each pretzel bites. With some many great products from Farm Rich you can't go wrong and there is something for everyone.

Thanks to Farm Rich for 3 coupons for my readers for any of their products. 3 WINNERS
