Love Chick-fil-A? Met too! I am part of the Chick-fil-A Moms Panel 2016 @chickfila

Disclosure:  I am a member of MomSelect. I was chosen as part of the Chick-fil-A Moms Panel 2016. I received a complimentary gift from MomSelect and Chick-fil-A.

I was really thrilled to hear the great news this week that I am now part of the Chick-fil-A Mom’s Panel for 2016! As part of the Mom's Panel, I will have the opportunity to hear about exclusive Chick-fil-A news and participate in special promotions....all wonderful things to be able to share with you as my Glamamama friends.  I will also be able to interact with fellow Chick-fil-A Mom's Panel members who also happen to be big Chick-fil-A fans just like me, as well as members of the Chick-fil-A brand team. Chick-fil-A just keeps opening up new doors everywhere. I was so hopped up to hear about the spanking new location they just opened up in NYC! The lines were so far down the block people were waiting forever just to get their hands on some Chick-fil-A. There was not one Chick-fil-A in NYC before this. I know! Now when I go into NYC I can hop on over and grab a snack or two. Hopefully the line will calm down in the next few weeks there in NYC. 

Did you know how many great options Chick-fil-A has on their menu wherever you go? You can go to their website and check out the individual menus for the various locations by you. I love that I can stop in and still keep to my healthy eating plan. They have tons of salads and grilled chicken options in addition to vegetarian items that are delicious. Many families these days have at least a vegetarian or two that needs to eat too and Chick-fil-A is sensitive to that and has a variety of options for everyone. Since it is getting cooler, don't forget about all their yummy soups that are on the menu as well. Last winter we were loving their soups every week when we stopped in their location at our local mall. Let me know your thoughts and your fave items on the menu.

Apple and Eve VoxBox: Attention Mamas! @influenster @influenstervox @appleandeve

Disclosure:  I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

 ;

If you have ever tried Apple and Eve products you know they are a healthier option for your family. They have come out with some new organic juice products and I received some to try complimentary from Influenster. I was really excited about the flavors and options because some of them are really fun. You can imagine how excited other little people in my family were as well. I had to ration these out and hide them. Overall, this is a great line of organic juice products that you will want to check out at your local grocery store and see for yourself.  

Apple and Eve is different because they have been around for a long time and you can feel confident that they are a brand that is here to stay.  They are always innovating and they recently launched two great new lines of shelf stable organic juices. These are all delicious on their own or they are delicious as part of smoothies and other blends. I enjoy being creative and so does my family. Even if your kids are picky, there are the yummy basics like Natural Style Apple Juice.

 

One of the things that surprised me was the fact that There are some fun flavor combinations like Berrylicious Lemonade and Razzberry Apple Splash. They are all shelf stable so you can stock up and store them in the pantry. These are perfect for the lunchbox or anytime on the go. If your kids play sports these are an ideal treat to rehydrate after a game.

Mango Salsa - Tropical Mango Salsa by SalsaCrazy #mangosalsa

We love a little spice in our life. I enjoy cooking and so does my hubby but you have to keep it fresh and use a variety of ingredients to keep meals exciting. This is especially important when you cook healthy. The great thing is that, these days, you have tons of options for condiments and add-ins to always keep your palate guessing. 

We both work full-time and some nights are a little harried between the fitness routines, kids sports and activities and hubby's own sports and coaching schedule. That is why I love condiments that are ready to roll like this sweet and spicy salsa from Salsa Crazy. You can use it in tons of recipes from a topping for pre-made chicken breasts to fish. I add a bit to pastas or rice salads to add some zing too. 

• Awesome Mango Salsa
• Delicious Tropical Flavor
• Not Too Hot, Not too Sweet - Salsa perfection

It tastes delicious and you can't beat the combination of mango and spice. I think it would be great as a quick snack blended with low fat cottage cheese on crackers or blended with fat-free Hreek yogurt as a veggie dip. Give it a try and let me know where you use it most. 

You can pick up this delicious mango salsa on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.
