#ad Make Dinnertime Fun with Tyson® Chicken Nuggets & The Peanuts Movie! #TysonMovieOffer

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #TysonMovieOffer #CollectiveBias

As the mother of five, I am all too familiar with picky eaters. My eight-year-old is the pickiest of all my kids. At least the others are good about trying different things. It can absolutely make dinner time a struggle. One thing he does like is chicken nuggets. So, I like to have some stocked up in our extra freezer. I was in Walmart the other day and was picking up some Tyson® Chicken Nuggets. I like Tyson because they are made with 100% all natural ingredients and white meat chicken.

I was really happy to see the bags had a sticker on them that said you could get a ticket to see The Peanuts Movie coming to theaters November 6th. We love the Peanuts gang and this made the great resealable bags of regular and dino Tyson® Chicken Nuggets even more awesome.

Tyson^® Chicken Nuggets is partnering with The Peanuts Movie to help make your whole gang happy! Buy any two specially marked packages of Tyson Chicken Products or State Fair^® Corn Dogs and you can receive a child’s movie ticket (up to $9 total value) to The Peanuts Movie!

I really like how easy it is to prepare the nuggets in the oven, microwave or my new favorite way in our air fryer. Then we just put out some crunchy veggies like celery and baby carrots with dipping sauces and we have dipping dinner. One of the dipping sauces we use is a kid-friendly Southwest Ranch Dip. The reason it is kid-friendly is that we leave the jalapeno peppers out of it. You can add them in if you like. The hot sauce still gives it a little kick.

This is such an easy dip to make and the kids can help all you do is whisk all the ingredients together and chill. However, if you are like us and you just can’t wait, you can serve it without chilling.

Yummy, but you know the great thing about Tyson® Chicken Nuggets is that you can just make dinner or snacks so easy with dips that are already prepared. This is a real time saver. It will also let you put out a lot of variety when you serve Tyson® Chicken Nuggets as party or holiday appetizers or snacks. You can add a lot of dipping options to please all your guests.

So tell me are you super excited about this Tyson offer to get a movie ticket to The Peanuts Movie? In the meantime check out the trailer for The Peanuts Movie HERE!

#SnackAndGo Treats To Make For Halloween!

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #SnackAndGo #CollectiveBias

Do you have a Halloween party coming up? Are you in charge of bringing in snacks for a Halloween class party? If so, I have a fun idea you might want to try. I was in Walmart recently and picked up some NABISCO Go-Paks!, Snack Pack® puddings and Reddi-Wip. You might wonder why these three items? Well, did you know that Go-Paks! come in sturdy, plastic containers that are half full and perfect for adding mix-ins or other ingredients to create a super, special treat!

Go-Paks! come in many varieties like TEDDY GRAHAMS, Mini NILLA wafers, Mini OREO Chocolate Sandwich cookies, CHIPS AHOY! Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies, NUTTER BUTTER Bites Sandwich Cookies, Mini OREO Golden Sandwich Cookies and more. Snack Pack® puddings are available in chocolate, vanilla, butterscotch, chocolate and vanilla mix and more.

Another cool thing is that the containers themselves are great to decorate. You can even let the kids help!

Some easy ways to dress up the containers for a Halloween, Halloween parties, classroom treats and more are:

Pirates- Take a costume pirate eye patch and secure it to the container. This would make a great favor at a pirate theme birthday party too!
Mummies-Wrap vanilla pudding cups with white net fabric securing the beginning and end with tape. Then, glue on some google eyes.
Spiders-Take a pudding cup and 3 long sparkle craft sticks in any color you like. Next, just cut the craft sticks in half so you have 6 spider legs. Tape the legs to the back of the pudding cup and fold them around to the front. Add some google or sticker eyes.
Bats-Cut out bat wings from black construction paper and tape to back of chocolate pudding cups. Add google or sticker eyes.
Create Your Own-Cover Go-Paks! with sparkly paper and use it as a blank canvas to create monsters, funny faces and more. Decorate pudding cups with stickers to create funny faces.

There are endless possibilities. Kids will love them and love helping you make them!

Then let them mix up a fun snack! Some great combinations we found were big hits are the TEDDY GRAHAMS, Chocolate Pudding and Mini Marshmallows topped with Reddi-Wip and some additional Teddy Grahams for a new take on the S’more. If you take Mini NILLA wafers Go-Pak! and mix with vanilla pudding and fresh sliced banana then top with Reddi-Wip and banana and more Mini Nilla wafers you have a banana cream pudding snack cup. Let kids pick and choose and mix up their own creations. They will love being able to create their own recipe.

After School Snacks To ReFuel Kids! #FuelTheirAdventures

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #FuelTheirAdventures #CollectiveBias

School starts for our kids next week. This week we are still enjoying the end of Summer. We even have a road trip planned tomorrow to 6 Flags! Whenever we take a road trip, we are sure to pack snacks for our journey. It saves us time stopping every time hunger hits and cuts down on crabby kids. Dannon® Danimals® Smoothies are something we pack for road trips because they are compact, delicious and curb my kids hunger. We always have a travel cooler stocked with them when we hit the road. Tomorrow is no different.

Another great time of day for Dannon® Danimals® is after school. My kids come home famished. It’s too early for dinner and I don’t want them to eat too much that will spoil their appetite. We found Dannon® Danimals® paired with fresh fruit and vegetables along with some crackers is perfect. It is so easy to do this for your kids and have it prepared a few minutes before they get home.

I was recently in Walmart and saw the Collectors Edition 12-pack of Dannon® Danimals® Smoothies in Strawberry/Cotton Candy flavors. I picked those up along with another 12 pack of Banana Split/Strawberry Explosion. The little bottes are so cute with the different athletes on them!

An easy way to have a great snack to fuel your kids after school is to get out whatever fresh fruit and veggies you have. I had pears, baby carrots, white seedless grapes and bananas. You will also want to add some crackers and those can be whatever your kids like. I used saltines and graham crackers.

Just grab some plates, cut up the fruit, add the crackers and put out an assortment of Dannon® Danimals® Smoothies for them to pick their favorite flavor! Easy Peasy right? Works with any fresh fruit or veggies and you can mix it up so they are never bored.

Other ideas for pairings is to substitute crackers with granola, nuts or a whole grain muffin. You can add some cheese cubes, apple slices with a little peanut butter, add peanut butter to the banana slices. You can really give them something new and different every day and all of it pairs so well with the Dannon® Danimals® Smoothies.

Some added fun for kids is an Play 60 contest – if they find the “Golden Bongo” Dannon® Danimals® bottle (located in specially marked packages) they can win a Play60 Field Day for your school with NFL pros!

As a mom I feel good that Dannon® Danimals® provide “Only the Good Stuff®” with no high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors or colors, as well as provides a good source of calcium and vitamin D. They are the perfect on-the-go option for our busy family! helps fuel my kids’ adventures – at school, after school, at sports practice, during homework time or to start the day!

Have you tried Dannon® Danimals® with your kids and what are some of your favorite pairings to go with the delicious yogurt smoothies? I would love to see your ideas in the comments!

The Secret of Great Fried Food Without the Fat or Calories

Do you love the taste of homemade thick cut french fried potatoes, fried chicken, mozzarella sticks, friend zucchini and more but don’t like the fat, greasy mess and calories? If so, you are going to love the Avalon Bay AB-Airfryer100. This sleek Airfryer uses Rapid Air Circulation Technology which circulates hot air with speed and precision for perfect results. Fry, Bake, Grill or Roast your food for you and your family. Its time you experienced this revolutionary way to cook your food. Dont Fry Your Food, AirFry Your Food.

This appliance is like a Mini Convection Oven. AirFryers work the same way as convection ovens, but better. The fan technology removes the fats & oils from the food, by allowing it to drip through the drip basket. It then AirFrys the food by lifting the oil and making your food airborne by coating it. It does this continuously throughout the cooking process. The result is, you don’t need to use oil. Meaning less waste, fewer calories and less guilt.

The Air Fryer uses a combination of high-speed circulation, which makes the hot air rapidly circulate within the AirFryer. All the ingredients within the non-stick food basket will be heated at once, as the heat will come in through all sides. This guarantees that with the Avalon Bay Airfryer your food will be cooked evenly due to the optimal heat distribution. The 30 minute timer lets you customize the settings to cook your favorite foods the way you want. The AirFryer turns itself off when your food is cooked and the timer dings. The AirFryer has a fully adjustable temperature range from 200-400°F.

Features:

Rapid Air Circulation Technology which circulates hot air with speed and precision for perfect results
Mesh metal basket helps provide extra crispy results.
Safety Element: 30 minute timer
Hassle free clean up with dishwasher safe parts
Stainless steel 304 heating element

With the Avalon Bay AB-AIRFRYER100 you have so many choices when it comes to cooking or reheating food for your family. The 3.2L mesh metal basket has a quick release allowing you to easily remove it. This striking red shaded AirFryer from Avalon Bay has a compact design and a stainless steel 304 heating element. The non slip feet, you can be rest assured that it will stay in place and not slip off your bench top. A unique feature on this appliance, is its top handle, which is great for carrying and storing away conveniently. For a quick clean-up this Air Fryer does come with some dishwasher safe parts.

What We Love:

We love this AirFryer because it is so sleek and secure, it does not move when cooking and with kids we do not have a safety issue. When you fry in the conventional way, it is messy and dangerous. You can not leave the frying foods unattended and there is always the risk of splattering oil burning the person preparing the food or someone nearby. Oh and you know what is amazing, you can even bake a cake in it! It’s great to have the food we love without the calories of conventional frying. If you want to try eating healthier the Avalon AirFryer is a great way to get the taste you love without the mess or calories you hate.

See our video review below to see how we made the thick cut fries pictured above:

Thick Cut Fries:

Five or Six Large Potatoes

1.5 Tbs of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Sea Salt/Pepper To Taste

This is such and easy recipe, just peel the potatoes and cut into thick homestyle fries. Put the fries in the basket and coat with extra virgin olive oil. Cook in the AirFryer for 10 minutes. Take out basket shake and return to fryer to cook 10 more minutes. Remove fries to plate and season to taste with sea salt and pepper.

Do you have an AirFryer? If so let me know in the comments. If you have any questions feel free to post them in the comments as well. I look forward to reading your comments and questions. Follow Avalon Bay on Facebook.

Celebrating Our Little Graduate With A Brownie Sundae Ice Cream Social-#SunsOutSpoonsOut

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #SunsOutSpoonsOut #CollectiveBias

Winding down the school year, the last couple of days are upon us. We have a kindergarten graduate among our littles and yesterday was the graduation. Today is the last day of school and then a busy summer ahead. This week is so busy but special days like today need to be celebrated.

I like shortcuts whenever possible, especially in the summer. The little hacks or tricks that make life easier and let you get to the fun faster are welcomed by this mom of many. After all, who does not want to get to the fun part faster, right?

Last weekend I was in Walmart and attended a demo where Blue Bunny premium vanilla bean ice cream was featured. It was absolutely delicious and we are already big Blue Bunny lovers! The vanilla ice cream gave me the inspiration for how to celebrate our little graduate’s big day! I thought, I would put together a make your own brownie sundae ice cream social at our house! What a great idea everyone will love and I could thank the Blue Bunny vanilla bean ice cream in my cart for the inspiration.

So the time to celebrate arrived and I want to share just how easy you can recreate the same Make Your Own Brownie Sundae Ice Cream Social with your family. You can bake a box of 13 by 9 pan size brownies of your choice or if you want to skip that, you can pick up some that are already made at your store or bakery. Then shop for some Blue Bunny vanilla bean ice cream or another of your Blue Bunny favorite flavors. I think the vanilla complements the brownie sundae so well! Next, you will want to have lots of yummy toppings on hand so that everyone can customize their sundae. I used mini candies, nuts, caramel sauce, hot fudge, marshmallow fluff, rainbow sprinkles, whipped cream, nuts, and of course what sundae is complete without the cherry on top.

I picked up a large vinyl graduation table cloth for our outdoor picnic table. The tablecloth makes cleanup a snap. Then I added some graduation inspired party plates and decorations to make our little guy feel special! I baked a pan of brownies the night before and cut them into squares to use for the sundae foundation. When everyone has their brownie, the fun begins! You can’t go wrong here, just let everyone add the toppings they like and enjoy!

If you are lucky enough to have left over ice cream the great Blue Bunny ice cream containers will keep it fresh to the last scoop. I love the Blue Bunny containers because the lid fits great and is easy to open and store. Everyone loved making their brownie sundae just the way they wanted. It was a lot of fun and so simple. The best part was the first bite, the creamy, cold vanilla ice cream with the rich chocolate brownie and toppings was delicious.

If you think the store demo that I attended sounds like something you might want to attend, check out this list of stores for the upcoming 4th of July demo where Blue Bunny will be teaming up with Chips Ahoy! If you would like to have an Ice Cream Social to celebrate any life event, it’s so easy. I hope that you try it and let me know how it goes, my family is already asking when we can do it again.

Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recently I tried to adjust my favorite coconut oil, chocolate chip cookie recipe and substitute almond flour for white flour. The problem was the cookies spread out way too much and were like crepes. I added more almond flour and the second batch was better but still way too thin. They tasted good though, so I know if I keep experimenting, I will come up with the solution.

In my search, I did find it would be best to chill the dough and I will try that next time. In the meantime, I tried another recipe for Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies and this one used baking soda instead of baking powder like mine and I decided to try it and chill the dough. The cookies did not spread out but they did not take like a chocolate chip cookie like my first recipe. The taste and texture is more like a macaroon. They are very good, but I cannot believe there is such a huge difference in taste and texture. This recipe almost tastes like flaked coconut was added. Like I said, it is very good, just not what I would call a chocolate chip cookie. I would refer to it as a chocolate chip macaroon cookie, lol. Anyway, lets take a look at how we make these and I will update with the other recipe and post pics of the first go round on that as well.

For my almond flour, I used the Morning Pep brand that is available on Amazon. It is made from 100% all-natural Certified Gluten-Free by GFCO blanched almonds. The flour is ground very fine so it gives baked goods and sweets a rich flavor and moist texture, contains no preservatives or additives. Morning Pep Almond Meal Flour is a great source of dietary fiber, Vitamin E, protein, iron, magnesium and calcium. Morning Pep Almond Flour is considered pasteurized by the USDA and The Almond Board of California.

Almond Meal Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (More Like A Macaroon In Consistency)

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, softened
- 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/2 Teaspoon of Baking Soda
- 1/2 Teaspoon Fine Grind Sea Salt
- 3-3-3/4 Cups of Almond Flour (dough was too soft with 3 cups so I added about 3/4 cup more)
- 1-1/4 Cups of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 2/3 Cup Toasted Walnuts (Optional)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use a silicone baking mat or line your cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In your mixer bowl cream the butter, extra virgin coconut oil and brown sugar. Next, add the vanilla and eggs and mix until blended.

Add baking soda and sea salt. Add the almond flour one cup at time, beat well after each addition. I felt the dough was too soft after adding 3 cups of flour and gradually added more, I would say about 3/4 cup more. Dough was still soft but not as soft as before.

Add the chocolate chips and mix until incorporated in the dough, if you are adding the nuts, add them now and mix.

Chill the dough for at least an hour. Scoop with a small cookie scoop onto the lined cookie sheet and bake immediately for 11-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Let cook and remove to baking rack to cool thoroughly. Yield about 3 dozen with the additional flour.

See our video below of the process:

Morning Pep-Almond-Flour-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies

I received 2 bags of Morning Pep Almond Flour to facilitate my review. As always my words and opinions are 100% my own.

How I #ShareItForward With A Delicious Coca-Cola Float

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #ShareItForward #CollectiveBias

It’s nearly the end of the school year. In New York we are finally experiencing warmer temperatures, even though we had a few days recently with frost warnings. The unofficial start of summer is in full swing and there is no better time to kick back and share something refreshing with someone special.

I was in Sam’s Club recently and they were holding a demo where they were giving customers a full can of Coca Cola, mine said Superstar!

Past the demo set up on the shelves were 32 and 35 can packs of Coca Cola. I picked up a 35 can pack at a super low price. These large packs are perfect for all the upcoming celebrations that are happening in the next few weeks like Father’s Day, Graduation Parties, Family BBQs and more! I love that the cans have names of people you can share them with like Bestie, Grillmaster, Friend, Better Half, Dreamer, Bro, Sis, Soulmate etc.

Looking at the names on the cans gave me some great ideas of how I could share them with special people in my life. I thought a great way to surprise my hubby with something special would be to make Coca Cola floats. Coke and ice cream floats are so easy to make. We used vanilla and chocolate ice cream to make ours.

My husband said the floats with the vanilla ice cream were good but the chocolate ice cream and Coca Cola floats were beyond delicious! I made a printable that went along with the can and the float idea. Super simple it said, “To My Better Half”, just like the can and then had a picture of a boat and said, “You Float My Boat.” He thought it was really cute and loved the whole idea, especially the refreshing ice cream Coke floats.

Another idea I had was to share the refreshing beverage with a good friend and one of my children’s teachers. Pairing them with a Coca Cola glass and custom printed gift tag I made, I put them in a red gift bag and a theme gift was in the bag! It was a simple yet special gift to say thank you for all they’ve done.

If you have big celebrations coming up or you want to celebrate hubby for Father’s Day or just because, give a gift to a teacher or friend, the large 32 can or 35 can packs are a great buy and perfect to have on hand. Let me know if you do try one or both of these ideas or one of your own. Please let me know what you did, and share it in the comments. I love to read your experiences. For even more inspiration out how others #ShareItForward HERE!

Glee Gum, Make Your Own Candy Kit, Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

In the past you may have read about how we made our own milk chocolate with kits from Glee Gum. We decided to mix it up a bit this year and try a different kit. We opted for the Make Your Own Chewing Gum Kit. So recently we set out to test out our gum making skills. The kit comes with all you need, even a disposable tray to melt the chicle gum base which resembles small beads or popcorn kernels. The reason for the disposable tray is because the chicle gum base when melted is so incredibly sticky.

We used the microwave to melt the chicle gum base and when it was melted we added the corn syrup and tried to stir.

I say tried to because the stickiness really makes you add some serious muscle to the mix. after that you roll it in the confectioner’s sugar and then knead in one of the flavor packets. After that you roll it and cut it into pieces. The best part is last and you can taste your creation.

My kids thought it was fun and as a parent it was very educational like all their “make your own” kits. For parents, educators and home school the website has a lesson plan with resources to expand on and more. You can see more educational material HERE. We have also added Glee Gum Make Your Own Candy Kits to our 2014 Holiday Gift Guide.

Glee Gum is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings and one lucky winner will win their choice of Make Your Own Candy Kit! Thank you Glee Gum for the review kit and for sponsoring this sweet giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!! Open to US Residents.

Grilled Peanut Butter, Banana & Honey Waffle Breakfast Sandwiches With Aunt Jemima Frozen Waffles!!! #4MoreWaffles

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #collectivebias

I always think that the plan of getting up 20 minutes earlier in the morning will make getting the kids out the door less hurried and subsequently less stressful. It makes perfect sense at night and I totally agree and would offer the advice to anyone. However, when that alarm goes off and I am feeling particularly sleepy, knowing that I have the extra minutes can make me hit the snooze alarm a few times. Now at the time, I think those extra minutes are so worth it, but when we are scurrying about trying to get everyone dressed and out to the bus stop in time and someone can’t find something they need, it hardly seems worth it.

I want my kids to not be stressed in the morning, so we make sure that we have everything ready to go the night before and that helps. You know what else helps? Having breakfast choices that are fast and easy. That is why I keep Aunt Jemima Frozen Waffles in our freezer. The resealable packs now come with 14 waffles instead of 10! Yeah for 4 more waffles and the resealable bag makes it easy to take what you need, leaving the rest sealed for freshness.

waffles 2_edited-1

I buy mine from my local Shop Rite and they come in 4 different varieties; Homestyle, Buttermilk, Low Fat and Blueberry. They are conveniently located in the frozen food aisle.

#4morewaffles-#collectivebias-Aunt-Jemima-Breakfast-#shop

My kids love waffles and these can be heated in the toaster which makes breakfast on the go a breeze. We usually just toast and serve with syrup, fruit or fruit and yogurt on the side on school days. However on weekends, we can go all out and cook sausage, eggs with cheese, Canadian bacon and of course have fruit and yogurt too. A really special recipe for Grilled Peanut Butter, Banana & Honey Waffle Sandwiches is below!

#4morewaffles-#collectivebias-Aunt-Jemima-Breakfast-#shop

waffles 7_edited-1

My kids love a waffle sandwich that is made with 2 Aunt Jemima Waffles fresh from the toaster and with scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese, topped with Canadian bacon or pork roll and topped with another waffle. They also like the waffles with syrup and a side of sausage. So many great ways to eat them, you can use your imagination and indulge your taste buds. As for me I’m glad I have something in the freezer that makes breakfast fast and satisfying for my kids. Aunt Jemima helps me have one less thing to worry about on busy mornings and gives us something special to look forward to on weekend mornings.

Recipe Idea:

I want to share another way to serve Aunt Jemima Waffles that is super yummy! What you need is 1/2 banana cut in slices, about 1.5 Tbsp of Peanut butter, 1 Tsp of honey and 2 Aunt Jemima Waffles of your choice.

#4morewaffles-#collectivebias-Aunt-Jemima-Breakfast-#shop

Toast the waffles and then spread the peanut butter on both waffles, top one side with the honey and the other side with sliced bananas.

#4morewaffles-#collectivebias-Aunt-Jemima-Breakfast-#shop

Put it together and grill it lightly in a pan with a little butter. After grilling both sides remove, cut and enjoy!

#4morewaffles-#collectivebias-Aunt-Jemima-Breakfast-#shop

Success® Whole-Grain Boil-In-Bag Brown Rice Is a Pantry Staple For Me!!! #SUCCESSRICE

Success Rice Box

You know what’s one of my go to foods when I want a quick and easy side dish or to make to eat for lunch or a snack? It’s Success® Whole-Grain Brown Rice and Salsa. I have been eating that for the last several years so I was absolutely stoked to be chosen to write a sponsored post for Success® Boil-In-Bag Rice. I absolutely love it the brown rice and mild chunky salsa combination. I have no idea what ever led me to mix the two, but from the first time I did, it was love at first bite.

Have you tried Success® Boil-In-Bag Rice? If you have, then I am sure you will relate to how convenient it is to have in your pantry, I consider it a pantry staple. It’s simple to make and the brown rice can even sit for 30 minutes in the hot water (with the heat off) before serving making it foolproof and worry free.

If you’ve never tried it, you should! Success® Whole-Grain Brown Rice is 100% whole grain and gluten-free. The rice has a great chewy texture and nut-like flavor that are a nice departure from traditional rice products on the shelves. The cooked brown rice can be used in a variety of recipes from salads, soups, main entrees to desserts just like white rice. Success® Whole-Grain Brown Rice is available in two sizes (14 oz. and 32 oz.) to accommodate different household sizes.

I tried a recipe for the first time with Success® Whole-Grain Brown Rice. I improvised on one of the recipes I found online at the Success® Rice website. and made a fried brown vegetable rice. It was super easy. I just prepared 2 bags of Success® Whole-Grain Brown Rice according to the package directions.

Success Rice

I put the rice in a bowl and mixed it with peas and carrots (you can use cooked fresh, canned or frozen) and green beans. Then I heated up some oil in pan to cook 4 beaten eggs for about 40 seconds, began to break up the eggs into small pieces while they finished cooking.

success-rice 1

When the eggs were cooked I added the rice and veggies and cooked until heated through adding a few tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce. An easy way to a healthy side that tastes great.
