Does your family love bold flavors? When they hear the word JalapeƱo do they say, “BRING IT ON”?Ā If your family is tired of flavorless sausage, Jacks Link’s can Ā satisfy their WILD SIDE. It is time for meat lovers to rejoice because Jack Link’s Wild Side Sausages are available at Walmart and come in great flavors like Original,Ā JalapeƱo, Cheddar and Bacon Jerky.

Recently I was shopping in Walmart when I saw the Jack Link’s Wild Side Sausages in the Packaged DeliĀ section. I picked up several packages. I knew my family would love them because they are crazyĀ about bold, flavor-filled taste. I chose theĀ JalapeƱo, Cheddar and Bacon Jerky varieties. I really liked that they are high in protein, had no fillers or added MSG, no artificial flavors or colors and are made with premium cuts of beef & pork. I was happy to see they were also on rollback pricing and only $3.48 a package from now until Memorial Day! These sausages and brats are great by themselves or in a recipe!

My family loves variety so I decided that we would make a great dinner of grilled Jack Link’s Wild Side sausage, peppers and onions sliders and grilled sausage and sausage, pepper and onion pizzas. I would serve them with a nice spring salad and fresh lemonade.

The sausage cook up fast on the grill since they are fully cooked. To make the Sausage Pepper and Onion Sliders we first cut up 2 large onions.

Next Ā we cut up red, orange and yellow peppers. You can use any type of peppers you want.

We have a grill pan that is made for cooking vegetables on the grill, so Ā we used that to cook the onions and peppers. WeĀ put them in the pan, Ā added some olive oil and tossed them. Then we put the pan on the grill and kept a close eye, turning them every couple of minutes until they were done.

We also had the sausage on the grill at the same time. The sausages were done first and inside we had coated different size pre-made pizza shells with olive oil.

Then we added pizza sauce which we also bought pre-made.

We added mozzarella cheese and then topped them with sliced Ā Jack Link’s sausage hot off the grill. WeĀ kept the kids small pizzas with just the sausage and added peppers and onions to the large pizza.

Cooking pizza on the grill is fast and so you need to be watchful. My husband manned the grill while I made the salad. I also made the sausage, peppers and onions sliders.

I cut large hero rolls in half and then stuffed them with sausage pepper and onions. We used all 3 kinds of sausage so that everyone can choose what they want.

When you cut the sausage in slices or in half you can see whether it is cheddar orĀ JalapeƱo or Bacon Jerky so that is a plus.

When the pizzas were ready it was time to dig in. We also made some homemade ice cold lemonade.

Needless to say my family love this bold flavorful dinner, tons of variety and big on taste! It was something we will be doing again very soon. Has your family tried Jack Link’s Wild Side Sausage? I would love to know if you have and hear about your favorite recipe. Please let me know in the comments.

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 someĀ NABISCO Go-Paks!, Ā Snack PackĀ® puddings andĀ 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 andĀ perfect for adding mix-ins or other ingredients to create a super, special treat!

snack and go instore

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 PackĀ® puddings are available in chocolate, vanilla, butterscotch, chocolate and vanilla mix and more.

Another coolĀ 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:

  1. Pirates- Take a costume pirate eye patch and secure it to the container. ThisĀ would make a great favor at a pirate theme birthday party too!
  2. Mummies-Wrap vanilla pudding cups with white net fabric securing the beginning and end with tape. Then, glue on some google eyes.
  3. 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.
  4. Bats-Cut out bat wings from black construction paper and tape to back of chocolate pudding cups. Add google or sticker eyes.
  5. 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!Ā Ā Some great combinationsĀ we found were big hits are the TEDDY GRAHAMS, Chocolate Pudding and Ā 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.

#EatASnickers Collage

Have you ever been so hungry you turn into a different person? Do you find it hard to even think straight at that point? If so, you need something to take the edge off that hunger. You need something fast that’s going to satisfy that extreme hunger that’s transforming you.

Many people including myself seem to turn into someone else when that hunger strikes. I have found it is betterĀ to be prepared for these hunger attacks. For me, SNICKERSĀ®Ā bars are an extremely satisfying and delicious way to curb my hunger. Mine usually strikes mid day for me. Ā SNICKERSĀ® has been one of my favorites as far back as I can remember. I love the caramel, milk chocolate, nougat, and roasted peanuts that are packed into each bar.

SNICKERSĀ® Get “YOU” Back To “YOU” Treat Bag Tutorial:

I want to share a fun and easy gift bag tutorial with you. Ā TheseĀ SNICKERSĀ® Get “You” Back To “You” Treat Bags are funny and serve a purpose. Keep some in a basket on your counter, on your desk at work or in your purse. You can handĀ oneĀ to that mom in the school pick up line that is clearly not herself. Give one to your coworker who is coming unhinged or your best friend, who is turning into someone you don’t know.Ā Whoever you share them with, they are sure to appreciate you helping them get back to themselves. Don’t forget about yourself, you want to be able to get back to you fast too!

snickers gift basket

I was in Walmart recently and picked up some multi packs ofĀ SNICKERSĀ® full size bars in the candy aisle. SNICKERSĀ® individual full size bars can be found on store displays andĀ in/nearĀ the checkout aisles. While I was there I picked up some craft ribbon, treat bags in clear, red and yellow and some colorful paper napkins.

I made three different bag labels with PicMonkey and Microsoft Word and printed them. You can add your own touch in saying what you want. Next,Ā I glued them Ā to some heavy construction paperĀ using a glue stick. You could also use card stock.

After that, I cut them out and punched a hole in the tag for the ribbon.

I took a treat bag and put one full sizeĀ SNICKERSĀ® bar and a colorful paper chevron stripe napkin. You need the napkin because as you or someone else turns back into themselves they will remember their manners.

Snickers Gift bag

Then use the little twist ties that come with the treat bags toĀ close the bag. Use any kind of ribbon your like to attach the tag. That’s it! Wasnt’ that easy. You can do all kinds of variations of this idea. All kinds of treat bags can be used, you could add a mini bottled water if you like. You really can make it as simple or elaborate as you want. Customize them for your child’s teachers, bus driver or babysitter.

After School Snacks To ReFuel Kids! #FuelTheirAdventures

#FuelTheirAdventures-Dannanimals-Yogurt-Smoothies-After-School-Snacks

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 toĀ 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. DannonĀ® DanimalsĀ® 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 DannonĀ® DanimalsĀ® 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. WeĀ found DannonĀ® DanimalsĀ® 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 EditionĀ 12-pack of DannonĀ® DanimalsĀ® 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 usedĀ saltines and graham crackers.

Just grab some plates, cut up the fruit, add the crackers and put out an assortment of DannonĀ® DanimalsĀ® 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 Ā and all of it pairs so well with the DannonĀ® DanimalsĀ® Smoothies.

Some added fun for kids isĀ  anĀ Play 60 contest – if theyĀ find the “Golden Bongo” DannonĀ® DanimalsĀ® bottle (located in specially marked packages) theyĀ can win a Play60 Field Day for your school with NFL pros!

dannanimals 3

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

Have youĀ triedĀ DannonĀ® DanimalsĀ® with your kids and what are some of your favorite pairings to go with the delicious yogurt smoothies? IĀ would love to see your ideas in the comments!
