• With 130 calories per serving (21 baguette chips), and 50% less fat than regular potato chips*, Pillsbury Baguette Chips are delicious snack chips that you can feel good about eating

If that’s not enough to get your mouth watering, then check out these delicious chips for yourself.  To download a printable coupon for $0.75 off one package, you can visit http://bit.ly/PBCcoupon today!

*Pillsbury Baguette Chips (5g fat per 29g serving); regular potato chips (11g fat per 29g serving).  See nutrition information for sodium content.

I received 6 bags of Pillsbury Baguette Chips as shown below for the purpose of this review.  Three bags each of the Italian Cheese and Herb and the Cheddar Sun-Dried Tomato.

I can't pick a favorite of the two flavors.  They are both really good.   I love the ideas of these chips.  When I buy a mixed snack bag, this type of bread chip is my favorite from the bag.
The bags went quick!  Not hard to do when we have company a lot, mostly grandchildren.  My daughter took a bag--twice--to her friends house.  We served them one night with hot dogs for supper, otherwise we just snacked on them throughout the day.   I hadn't thought of adding them to a salad or crumbling them for a casserole topping, but what great ideas!

I've printed my coupon and look forward to buying more of the flavorful Pillsbury Baguette Chips!

One lucky blog reader will also win 6 bags of their own to enjoy.  Enter using the punchtab giveaway widget below.

Cascade Complete 24 Hour Challenge and $15 Wal-Mart Gift Card Giveaway (plus bonus winners!)

It’s time to answer the hard-hitting question – whose turn is it to clean the dishes after dinner?

With new Cascade Complete – you won’t mind taking turns at the sink. And if the thought of dirty dishes in the sink has ever made you think twice about making a favorite meal, Cascade Complete is here to help.

The excess scrubbing of cookware and dirty tableware is not only tiring, but time consuming. Allowing the remains of a delicious dinner to set in its baking dish could mean water logged fingers and hours in the kitchen.

Put your pre-soaking days behind you, and lighten your load with Cascade Complete All-in-1 ActionPacs. They break down, dissolve, and rinse away tough food particles, leaving your hands free and your dishes sparkling. Sound too good to be true? We dare you to take the 24 Hour Challenge. 

I took the challenge!! 


Challenge Instructions:

• Bake a Blueberry Cobbler.* Enjoy!
• Set the empty baking dish out for 24 hours
• Without rinsing, put it in the dishwasher with Cascade Complete

*Don’t have time to bake a cobbler? Try the 24 Hour Challenge with any dirty baking dish!


I wasn't able to make the blueberry cobbler, instead I made an apricot cobbler.  Heck, I even re-warmed it in the oven, so one side of the dish had cobbler baked on, not just dried on.

I'm sold!!!!!!


Check out how sparkling clean the dish came out using the Cascade Complete All-In-1 ActionPacs!  (This was in a full dishwasher, which also included Malt-O-Meal bowls and pan from breakfast that had sat in the sink all day.  They also came out just as clean and sparkling.)

Support National Nutrition Month with Yoplait!

Support National Nutrition Month and become a fan of Yoplait on Facebook today to explore delicious and easy ways to infuse more nutrition into your lifestyle.

I've always been a fan on Yoplait yogurt, with the Whips being my favorite.  For a long time my bedtime snack was a cup of yogurt.  Sadly, I have gotten out of the habit of having a cup of yogurt daily.  Recently I have started getting back into the daily habit.  I feel that yogurt is an important part of my daily food intake.  In fact, I look forward to trying the many other options that Yoplait has to offer!

I've gone over and have become a fan of Yoplait on facebook, and I hope you will also do the same.

Yoplait is here to help! To give Yoplait a hand in expanding its community on Facebook, and to keep up with all the exciting news and offers we have in store for fans, be sure to use this link to “Like” Yoplait on Facebook today.

Yoplait Smoothie review and Giveaway

When I was contacted by myblogspark to try and review Yoplait Smoothies, I clicked in fast.
For one thing, Yoplait is my favorite yogurt.  For another thing, my teen is wanting to try a diet.  Part of that diet includes a smoothie each day.  We couldn't wait to try Yoplait Smoothies, as both of us have been wanting to.


Yoplait Smoothies come in 4 flavors:  Strawberry Mango Pineapple, Strawberry Banana, Blueberry Pomegranate and Triple Berry.  We chose Strawberry Banana to try.  It was wonderful!  So easy to fix, just add 1 cup of milk in the blender with the package and in seconds you have 2 full servings. We both look forward to try each of the 4 flavors.


We got so excited the day the Yoplait prize pack came and and rushed to the store to use the free coupon.  We couldn't wait to try it....and forgot to take any photos!

Including Yoplait Frozen Smoothies in your diet is a quick and easy way to help you get important nutrients, like vitamin C or calcium your body needs. And with seven out of every ten Americans not eating the recommended two to four servings of fruit per day, Yoplait Frozen Smoothies could help you reach that goal.

Each package of Yoplait Frozen Smoothies contains one full serving of fruit (1/2 cup) and 110 to 120 calories per serving. Not only does Yoplait yogurt contain live and active cultures, but when prepared with skim milk and made according to package directions, Yoplait Frozen Smoothies are a good source of calcium. So raise your smoothie glass and toast to a new you!

Found in the frozen fruit aisle of your local grocery store, Yoplait Frozen Smoothies come in four delicious flavors. Be sure to check out the newest flavor, Blueberry Pomegranate, along with other favorites like Triple Berry, Strawberry Banana, and Strawberry Mango Pineapple.

Don't forget to visit Yoplait Frozen Smoothie on Facebook to download a great coupon! And follow Yoplait Frozen Smoothie on Twitter to keep up with their latest and greatest products!  


Now for the fun!  One of my lucky readers (sorry, open only to US residents) will receive the prize pack shown below:

Prize pack includes a cool water bottle, diet & fitness journal, free coupon for Yoplait Smoothies and a nylon bag.


Giveaway starts Sunday February 6, 2011 and ends Thursday February 17, 2010 at 9 pm CST.  Winner will be chosen through random.org.   Winner will have 48 hours to contact me or another winner will be chosen.


How to enter:


Mandatory entry:  Comment below telling me how you plan to incorporate Yoplait Smoothies into your menu plan to maintain a healthy lifestyle.  (make sure I have a way to contact you if you win as well.)
