Coffee-mate Natural Bliss: Review and Giveaway

coffee-mate natural bliss

I recently had the opportunity to try out the brand new natural line of creamers from Coffee-mate, called Natural Bliss.  Natural Bliss creamers are all natural with no artificial ingredients, and come in three flavors:

  • Sweet Cream
  • Vanilla
  • Caramel

For this review I picked up one of each flavor and tried them all.  My favorite in coffee was the Vanilla, but I must admit much of these creamers did not end out in coffee.  I did a lot of experimenting with making simple desserts and other beverages.  The results were quite yummy I must say, and the creamers are so rich a little goes a long way.  A big plus was that I didn’t feel bad about my daughter enjoying what I made with the Natural Bliss creamers, since there are no artificial ingredients.  Her favorite concoction that I came up with was the Creamy Dreamy Cantaloupe Orange Freezer Pops.  I have made a few batches of those already.

If you would like to learn more about this new product line from Coffee-mate, check out the  Natural Bliss page.

I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Coffee-mate and received coupons and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Giveaway

One lucky Blommi reader will win a free product coupon, to try out Natural Bliss themselves.

Head Chefs Anthropomorphic Kitchen Utensils Review and Giveaway!

head chefs logoI first saw Head Chefs utensils on the web about 6 months ago and thought they were adorable, but didn’t really need any cooking utensils at the time, so I didn’t order any.  They did leave an impression on me though, so I was very pleased to be offered the chance to review a few of the Head Chefs kid friendly kitchen utensils, and even the opportunity to do a reader giveaway.

Say Hello, to My Little Friends

head chefs kitchen utensils

The pastry brush was a must have for me.  His name is “Spike” (I’m sure you can see why).  Like the rest of the character he is made of dishwasher safe silicone, and has bendy arms and legs with suction cup feet.  I broke my peeler a while back, so have simply been using a pairing knife for those jobs, but since the opportunity presented itself, “El Diablo” also came to live with me.  To try out some of the companies other offerings, I picked out a small silicone pastry roller as well.   I thought it would come in handy when working on small pastries for the holidays, which will be here before we know it.

While I adore the vintage anthropomorphic kitchen items I have, these contemporary pieces are so much more user friendly.  My first concern was whether they would feel comfortable in the hand, since they look to be built for cuteness rather than ergonomics.  No need to worry, the feel and flexibility of the silicone made for a comfortable grip.  The cute little dudes, as well as, their rolling pin counter part all performed their intended duties quite effectively.  Funky style and usability, a great combination.

Join the Clean Plate Club with Tyson 100% All Natural Chicken Nuggets (Recipe, Review & Giveway)

tyson all natural chicken nuggetsAs many of my readers already know I am very fond of cooking from scratch, and try and avoid feeding my family food with artificial ingredients.  Even as a stay at home mom, I do not always have the time to make everything from scratch, nor do I have the time to clean up the mess involved in that type of cooking.  This is when flavorful ready made foods, which are both natural and nutritious like Tyson’s  100% all natural Chicken Nuggets are perfect.  I love the quick and easy preparation and my family eats these bite sized treats right up.

My daughter is a particularly fussy eater.  Getting her to clean a plate can be challenging.   While she adores the foods many children recoil from, such as fruits and vegetables, it is hard to get enough protein into her.  She snubs most seafood, beans and meats, unless she is in the mood for them.  This is why having Tyson Chicken Nuggets on hand is so helpful to me.  When she is in the mood I want to take full advantage of it.  With Tyson Chicken Nuggets,  I can have crispy chicken for her to munch on in a flash.

creamy chicken and veggie pasta with tyson chicken nuggetsWhen I pick M up from preschool she is ready for lunch pronto!  Tyson 100% All Natural Chicken Nuggets with a side of Creamy Chicken Veggie Pasta can be on the table in less than 15 minutes, and is sure to result in a clean plate.  I have included the pasta recipe below, since it goes well with the nuggets and takes about the same amount of time to cook.

Creamy Chicken Veggie Pasta Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup low fat milk

4-5 baby carrots (julienned)

1 cup pasta (small fusilli or elbows)

1/2 cup frozen french cut green beans

Directions:

  1. Put all ingredients (except green beans) in sauce pan on high heat.
  2. Stir frequently, when it comes to a boil, add green beans.
  3. Keep stirring, and cook uncovered, until most of the liquid has absorbed or evaporated.
  4. Take off heat.
  5. Serve with Tyson 100% All Natural Chicken Nuggets.

Indulge without Guilt! #SkinnyCowCandy Giveaway

skinny cow

While I have embraced a healthier living lifestyle, I am also a firm believer in not depriving oneself in the pleasures of life.  Chocolate most certainly is one of life’s little pleasures.  It has also been my downfall on many occasions, so I often shy away from it these days.  Lucky for me and the rest of you chocoholics out there,  Skinny Cow has saved the day, by stepping out of the ice cream case and into the candy isle, with a new line of… yes, you guessed it…. chocolates!

These delectable treats are just 110-120 calories per serving, so there is no need to skip the chocolate anymore.  You can indulge on new Skinny Cow candies, without blowing your diet, or having to workout ant extra hour to get your cocoa fix.  These treats are conveniently and generously portioned, for your guiltless snacking pleasure.

skinny cow candy

As you can see above the candies are available as both bars and clusters.  For bars, the options are Heavenly Crisp Milk Chocolate or Heavenly Crisp Peanut Butter, just 110 calories each.  If bite-sized chewy clusters of creamy caramel and crispy pieces are more to your liking, they are available coated in your choice of either milk or dark chocolate, for a meager 120 calories.  Doesn’t that sound divine :)

Wondering where you can grab some of this low calorie chocolately goodness?  Check here to find a location near you >> Where to Buy Skinny Cow Candy
