New HERSHEY’S Yogurt Mix-Ins Make Snack Time Fun #HERSHEYS

Disclosure: The information and prize pack have been provided by General Mills through Platefull Co-Op.

Chocolate and yogurt are two things I could probably never get enough of. I eat more yogurt than anyone in my home and while I like mine simple, Toodie loves adding toppings to hers. Whether it’s granola, fresh fruit, or nerds- we both find yogurt more delicious with a little something extra in it. When I am grocery shopping I always keep my eye out for new mix ins on the shelves. These are yogurt packages with a tiny cup of toppings above the lid that can be added in. Toodie always asks for these in her lunchbox and pouring in the little container of goodies makes the experience even more fun.

How did my Cinco De Mayo go this year? I don’t wanna TACO ’bout it…

Joking! I am happy to share with you my love for this short but sweet holiday and how I celebrated. This week I spent a good portion of time browsing the web viewing recipes for different variations of tacos, salsas, margaritas, and sopapillas. Tacos are one of those things I could eat any day of the week and never get tired of them, even if they’re in their simplest form. I received a big box of celebration goodies from Platefull Co-Op that included our favorite Old El Paso products along with a few I wasn’t familiar with. The Stand N’ Stuff Soft Flour Tortillas have been an essential for taco night’s at our home since we first discovered them. I love how they are the perfect shape and stand right up even after you stuff them with your favorite toppings. No broken shells. No leaky sauces. Just fold and eat! That’s my kinda taco.

Experience Yogurt Perfection With Liberté Yogurt #TeamLiberte

Aside from my baking obsession I have been making a conscious effort to eat healthier snacks lately. I’ve stopped buying potato chips and sugary treats to eliminate all temptation! With all of that bad stuff out of the house I have found myself eating more fresh fruit, veggies, and yogurt. During my transition I was introduced to a new brand of yogurt that I had never tried before. As part of the General Mills family, Liberté embodies all things that nature has to offer. Liberté Méditerranée uses only the finest ingredients and nothing more – from whole milk and cream to live, active cultures and bold, real fruit. They also refrain from adding gelatin, sugar substitutes or preservatives. From taste alone you can tell the difference between Liberté and other brands. It’s delicious, creamy, and rich in flavor. It’s also a safe product that the whole family can enjoy.
