I recently was given the opportunity to review HORMEL®REV® wraps courtesy of BzzAgent. I was very excited about this BzzCampaign because who doesn’t like a snack that’s fast, easy, tastes good and is good for you?
When choosing a snack for my teenagers it is important to me that they like what they’re eating. Hormel has several different varieties:
  • Pepperoni Pizza: pepperoni, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese in a soft white wrap.
  • Italian: pepperoni, genoa salami and mozzarella cheese in an Italian herb wrap.
  • Spicy Italian: spicy salami and mozzarella cheese in an Italian herb wrap.
  • Meat Lovers Pizza: pepperoni, spicy salami, genoa salami, sopressata and mozzarella cheese in a soft white wrap.
  • Italian Ham & Mozzarella: smoked ham and mozzarella cheese in an Italian herb wrap.
  • Ham & Cheese: ham and Cheddar cheese in a soft white wrap.
  • Pepper Jack & Ham: ham and pepper jack cheese in a soft white wrap.
  • Peppered Turkey & Mozzarella: peppered turkey and Pepper Jack cheese in an Italian herb wrap.
We did have trouble finding all of the varieties in our local stores. Luckily my 3 teens like the varieties they had. We tried Pepperoni Pizza, Ham & Cheese, and Italian.

The first kind we tried was the Ham & Cheese and it was not a huge hit. We tried it both cold and warmed. The ham was hard and the cheese tasted hard and fake. Not good. Maybe we purchased an outdated pack?

The second and third kinds we tried (Pepperoni Pizza & Italian) scored home-runs! Both the Pepperoni Pizza and the Italian were delicious! The wraps are just firm enough and there is a generous amount of meat and cheese. We like them better warmed then cold but they are worth eating both ways. My children will definitely be snacking on HORMEL® REV® wraps on a regular basis.

Why the kids like Hormel Rev wraps: Fun to eat, take them and go, no mess, they taste good.

Why do I feel good about giving HORMEL® REV® wraps to my teenagers? They are a power boost of protein for my teens on the go so I know what they’re eating. They taste delicious and are inexpensive.

I highly recommend HORMEL REV wraps for you and your family. Try them today! You'll be glad you did!

Do you have a teenage daughter? Do you feel like you're losing her? Look up this song on You Tube and laugh along with me as I laugh and cry at the independence of  my 19 year old daughter and feeling like I'm no longer needed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-HEhDp7ECM

"Teenage Daughters"

I ain't complainin'
But I'm tired, so I'm just sayin'
What I think
And if we're being honest
Than honestly I think I need a drink

My baby's growin' up
She think's she's fallin' all in love
And that I hate her
At seventeen, she's just like me when I was seventeen
So I don't blame her

[Bridge:]
Do do do do 
Do do do do
What are we gonna do ?
Do do do do
Do do do do
What are we gonna do about it ?

[Chorus:]
Remember when we use to be
Everything they ever need
We had them believing we were cool
It's like it happened over night
We're always wrong, their always right
We use to be the one's breakin' the rules
Now we're just mothers, we're just fathers of
Teenage Daughters

She rolls her eye's when I'm funny
But she's sweet when she wants money and her freedom
Oh my god, she's got a car
Swears they wont go far
And i wish i believed 'em

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Their beautiful, wild and free
Everything we wish we could be
But their still crazy
Oh you know, the make us crazy

[Chorus]

Yeah Teenage Daughters

I ain't complainin'
But I'm just tired, so I'm sayin'
What I think
If we're being honest
Than honestly, I think I need a drink

I recently was given the opportunity to review Filippo Berio® Extra Virgin Olive Oil courtesy of BzzAgent. I was very excited about this BzzCampaign because Filippo Berio is the only EVOO I use! I have been using it as a butter substitute for years!

When choosing an olive oil it is important to me that you can taste that wonderful richness of the olive. Filippo Berio's EVOO has that.  We eat it on salads, bread and use for cooking. Anything I put in a pan is cooked in Filippo Berio. From sweating onions and mushrooms, to eggs, to steaks, and everything in-between. 

There are so many benefits to using olive oil.

1. Healthy Benefits of Olive Oil

Beyond the flavorful taste, there are many health benefits of olive oil. It’s naturally free of cholesterol, trans fat, salt, sugar, and gluten. In addition, olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fat (that’s the good kind).
According to medical experts, these essential properties give olive oil health benefits. It helps protect against heart disease, aids in digestion, and has been known to promote healthy aging. Promote healthy eating habits for you and your family by making olive oil a delicious, nutritious addition to your diet.

2. Substitute Olive Oil for Butter!

 When a recipe calls for other cooking oils or fats, make a shift towards eating a healthy diet and use Filippo Berio® Olive Oil instead. It's easy — where you would usually use cooking oils such as vegetable or canola oil, or fats such as butter or margarine, simply substitute Filippo Berio® Olive Oil. It's better for you, contributes to lowering cholesterol, and adds an delicious splash of flavor to any recipe. As a rule of thumb, substitute an equal amount of your olive oil for other cooking oils, and three quarters the amount for butter or margarine. Filippo Berio® Olive Oil as a butter substitute is cholesterol-free and contains no trans fats, no sugar, no salt, and no gluten.

My husband really enjoys milk but since he was diagnosed with insulin dependent diabetes several years ago, he has been unable to drink it. For those that didn't know, milk has a lot of sugar in it.

Last night we were at the grocery store and my husband begged me to look through every milk to find one low in sugar. My daughter suggested Silk but it had more sugar then Milk! Then I found Almond Breeze Unsweetened. (0) ZERO Sugars! Yes! My husband was so happy.

The Almond Breeze is delicious, has a flavor all of its own and really satisfying. Thank you Blue Diamond for offering something for Diabetics. This means more to us then just "milk".

Your new true customers,

Heather & John W.

I am screaming inside. A walking nightmare of reality poised to become my own undoing.

The past two months have been a very trying time for me.

We moved from a four bedroom, three story home to a one floor two bedroom home. Although an absolute blessing, it has been extremely stressful!

My 74 yr. old boss, who has been like a father to me, and my best friend for the past 11 years, had multiple strokes.

My estranged father had two heart attacks and his home burnt down.

Last week, I got to see my 90 year old grandmother for the first time in 17 years because my family would not tell me where she was. She is now very frail, in a nursing home, and blind.


Reality or the latest Hollywood screenplay? No, this is reality. My reality. My life.
I could write a book.

On top of all this, the holidays, I didn't have money to buy my three children and husband not one gift. I am losing hours at work because of depression. I am a walking zombie because I can not sleep.  My weight has increased 20 pounds in 2 1/2 months.

50% Off Cinnabon Caramel Pecanbon! Wow!


In the past 3 months, we have had to move, my best friend died, someone rear-ended me, took off and totaled my car, and that’s just the beginning. I feel like I am just going through the motions. I feel like I am in a nightmare that I cannot wake up from.

Pain, grief, fear, anger, resentment.

HURT.

I don't know where it starts and where it ends. I can not concentrate or remember anything. I am in fear of losing my job. Where do I go from here?

This song keeps coming to mind....

 "Consuming Fire"

There must be more than this,
O breath of God come breathe within,
There must be more than this,
Spirit of God we wait for You.

Fill us anew we pray,
Fill us anew we pray.

[Chorus]
Consuming fire fan into flame,
A passion for Your Name,
Spirit of God fall in this place,
Lord have Your way,
Lord have Your way with us,

Come like a rushing wind,
Clothe us with power from on high,
Now set the captives free,
Leave us abandoned to Your praise.

Lord let Your glory fall,
Lord let Your glory fall.

Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
A passion for Your Name.
