Brownies Are a Treat for Everyone

Everyone deserves a special treat filled with gooey goodness. Brownies are one of the top treats of all time. They come in a variety of flavors and filled and topped with random things, from chocolate chips, nuts, fruit and more! These special treats are great for any occasion and great to customize. You can even decorate them.

Vermont is a special state with a lot of farms and crops grown throughout the state. It's a beautiful state and it's people are very proud to be Vermonters. Brownie Company makes their brownies fresh from scratch with local (to them) farm-fresh ingredients that are natural and preservative free!

Vermont Brownie Company has delicious brownies in an assortment of flavors. They ship them fresh right to your door! I was spoiled and got to try their sampler box which was filled with 6 brownies which includes signature, espresso dulce de leche, peanut butter, maple toffee crunch, walnut chunk, and blondie. Their sampler comes in an adorable box and can be wrapped for special occasions. And all the brownies come wrapped individually so they're good for up to 12 days! No rush to eat them, just enjoy every bite.
There are a ton of different flavors from white chocolate to blondie to esperesso to peanut butter and more!




Vermont Brownie Company was even on Throwdown with Bobby Flay!

My Fave Juice


As a lot of you know I'm on the track to getting healthier. I'm starting day three of no PPP, added tons of water to my diet, and trying flexitarianism. It's a journey I'm pushing myself through.
I posted about the fun ways to jazz up plain water. But juice can be good for you too. Especially if it has tons of fruit and veggies! I've started drinking Fave juices. They're a fruit and vegetable juice mix that is delicious. It comes in a variety of mixed flavors. So far I'm loving the strawberry, kiwi, banana! My kids love it too. It's not packed full of calories and junk. 

Each 8-ounce glass of Fave contains:

• All-natural 100% fruit & vegetable juice

• Three full servings of vegetables

• Only 60 calories

• Antioxidant power of Vitamins A & C

• No preservatives, artificial sweeteners or high-fructose corn syrup


I love that it's smooth and not too sweet. It has no artificial sweeteners, no added sugars, is all natural and bottled here in the USA! It also makes a great smoothie. 





Find Fave at The Fresh Market, Meijer, H-E-B, Loblaws, Amazon.com, SuperValu, Cub Foods, Lunds & Byerly's, and Coborn's

Capturing Couture

I've recently taken a fondness to photography. I love being able to follow behind my kids and capture those little moments for everyone to see. The best thing is being able to share those moments with my family who lives a state away, and my father in law who is currently deployed. Why should they miss out on my kids growing up just because they can't be here all the time?

Carrying a camera can be dangerous. I'm so afraid to drop and break it, and there goes the money I spent! A camera strap helps keep the camera around my neck so I can still chase my kids and be involved and not have to worry about it hitting the ground!

This adorable camera strap by Capturing Couture is absolutely gorgeous and works amazing! It's also padded so it doesn't hurt my neck and shoulders.
 It comes wrapped in a cute little box with a bow!



A picture of Eli and I at the Frederick Meijer Garden while I was taking photos!
We had so much fun and I didn't have to worry one bit about dropping the camera and had no issues with a scratchy strap around my neck/shoulders. 

I'm in love with my camera strap. It's now a permanent attachment to not only my camera but me as well.

good2grow Drinks

Kids juice boxes and pouches seem like a waste to me. You can't reuse them and when the kiddos squeeze them, they spill all over! And the big name juice drinks now a days are filled with tons of yucky things such as sugars and GMOs. Why can't we get a simple kids juice drink in a reusable container that isn't full of crazy ingredients? 

Good news moms and dads, you can!!!! good2grow is a great juice drink for kids that has no added sugars, no GMOs, no artificial colors, preservatives and flavors! They even have an organic line! Not only is the juice delicious and healthy, but the containers are cute too! You can let the kiddos pick out what topper they want, and the topper can be used on the refill packs! I've even kept the bottom of the bottles to fill with milk, water and other juices to save money! The toppers are spill proof too! 

good2grow offers a wife variety of flavors as well as a huge selection of character toppers. Some of the characters include those from Disney, Marvel, WB, Mattel, Hello Kitty, Nickelodeon and American Greetings! My kiddos chose Spider Man and Thomas the Train as their favorite toppers. It not only lets them choose, but I can easily figure out who's cup is who's at parties and when we go out! And the containers are BPA free!

Check out their website for a BOGO coupon too! (limited time offer)

good2grow and Moms Meet sent me coupons for 2 good2grow character topper juice bottle and 2 coupons for a 6 pack of refills to review. I am not compensated for my reviews, so I do not make money on them. My review is in no way influenced by anything other than my personal opinion.

A New Chicken Salad

My mother in law is an amazing cook. From her famous egg rolls to her pho. She can make anything out of nothing and it be a gourmet dish. 
She finally introduced me to this amazing chicken salad her mother made. It's absolutely amazing. Now this isn't your typical chicken salad. It's better! 


Ingredients: 

As much as you'd like of: 
Bell peppers
Tomatoes 
Green onions
Hard boiled eggs
Lettuce
Diced chicken (we used leftovers)
Cilantro

Dressing: 
4 tablespoons ranch dressing
2 tablespoons thousand island dressing
1-2 teaspoons sriacha sauce to taste (optional) 
1 teaspoon fish sauce
Salt
Pepper

Throw all the veggies in a bowl together and mix. Mix the dressing ingredients in a separate bowl and then pour over salad and mix. Enjoy! This is such a simple and easy lunch! I'm addicted to it now.
