I have to say I was very skeptical at first. I have had a veggie burger before and I thought this would be no different. But as a mother that just had a baby two months ago, I am looking to eat better and lose some of this baby weight. And what better way to do that then to replace fatty food with ones like this. Especially if it tastes good too!
So this is why I was semi- excited to get an invite to this campaign. I got the coupon in (along with a few others, so I can get others into the same spirit) and went the the store yesterday and picked this up. While I was there getting this out of the freezer isle I noticed how many choices this company has. Also that there was a lot missing on the shelf. So this led me to believe that this was indeed a good tasting product. Either that or there are more than me wanting to start the year off right. Hehe.
I thought today I would try this for lunch s0 that I could get the ball rolling on my campaign activities. ( I am a bzzagent and I try products for free in exchange for my word of mouth. Then I do the activities on the product.) So I cook it up and decide that I wanted some banana peppers on it. I just love the taste of them on anything sandwich related. I get it all made up and it looks good. But I am still skeptical on the taste as I am in LOVE with my beef burgers. I take a bite and it is, to my surprise, very good. I would not say it tastes like a fresh beef patty as these are quite thin. But it is VERY similar to the frozen beef patties with 3 x's the fat in them. My two year old even made me share it with her, and she is picky with what she eats. I would give this product a HUGE thumbs up and I will definitely be keeping some of these around and plan on trying the many different products they have on the shelf. Go try them for yourself, you won't be disappointed!

I have to say that I was really impressed by this candy. I have eaten things that are off brand and good for you before and this brand takes the cake. I had to chance to try the chocolate covered candies, chocolate covered candies with peanuts and the peanut butter cups. Out of all three of these I have to say my favorite is the peanut butter cups. These taste almost like the real things except for more of a real peanut butter taste than the other brand. But they are super creamy. My husband tried this and he said that it was good but that the peanut butter was over powering. But he is the kind of person who don't like to venture from his normal. I gave one of the cups to my cousin and he said it was surprisingly good. He also said that he would be willing to eat them again.
The next one I tried was the chocolate covered candies with peanuts. These I felt tasted really no different than the peanut M&M's. They were good. I did like notice that there was more of a peanut taste. And I think that this is because this brand has less chocolate covering the peanuts than the other brand. But this does not in any way make the taste worse. I would eat these again also. My so said he would eat these too. He said the same things that I did when it came to the extra peanut taste.
The last one I tried was the chocolate covered candies. I was okay with these. Definitely not my favorite. I was hoping that these would taste a little more like the actual thing. But there was a taste there that I just couldn't put my finger on. I gave some to my husband and he said they were not bad but that they tasted like they had hazel nut in them. I am not a huge hazel nut fan so this is probably why I didn't pin point a taste like that. I would still probably get the real thing vs these unfortunately. But my two year old daughter loved these. She can't really give her opinion on them but she kept coming back for more so I would assume that is an A+ from her. I would still continue to buy these for her as they are better for her and she is more than willing to eat them.
All in all I like this brand. They are really not bad and they cost just about the same as the other. And they are better for my kids than the other brands. I am anxiously waiting to see if they will have the other two kinds soon so we can try them too. My husband is a snickers nut and I would love to make the switch to better stuff if he likes them. I am glad to be able to try a product like this and find a better way to eat my favorite foods with better benefits.

I have recently received an invite to another awesome campaign! It is called Unreal candy brought to my area by Walgreens. This candy is known as the "unjunked" candy. Better for you than the former candy that you can pick up in other stores. It has half the calories than other candy bars. Less sugar and is much better for you than the other candy bars that you are used to eating. I just got the coupons in the mail today for these and I have been waiting so anxiously to try this stuff. I am currently 27 weeks pregnant with a little boy who apparently has a sweet tooth to kill for. I think that these could make me gain less weight and be more healthy than the regular ones that I have been scarfing down lately. If these indeed do taste the same, then this is gonna be a life saver. And potentially a weigh gain saver. (Hehe)
There are five different kinds that I have seen. The different kinds are as follows:
Unreal 54: Candy coated chocolates with peanuts. To replace M&M's with peanuts.
Unreal 41: Candy coated chocolates. To replace M&M's
Unreal 8: Chocolate, caramel, peanuts and nugat. To replace Snickers.
Unreal 5: Chocolate, caramel, nugat. To replace Milky way.
Unreal 77: Peanut butter cups. To replace Reeses.
I really LOVE all of these candy bars and I can not wait to see if I can replace my favorites with a better for you kind. No corn syrup. No hydrogenated oils.No artificial flavors. No preservatives or GMOs. Made from 100% real food. I will be back to update if I will be making the switch to the new unjunked world.

Alright, so I have enjoyed this campaign so much. Who doesn't love to eat? With me being 15 weeks pregnant, I am all about the food stuff. Hehe. I have already had to go out and buy another bottle of this great stuff. Any other time I would probably use it and then wait it out until all of my other things this can be used for was gone. I simply can't do that with this product. I have taken to adding a bookmark to the website for this grand product.
Let me tell you why. I am absolutely in love with the recipe link on their webpage. It is SUPER easy to find exactly what you are looking for. If you want to make a specific thing, like snacks or appetizers, they have a way to find it that is really easy. All you have to do is find what you are wanting to make, like I said above. Then choose the ingredient that you are using to make something with. It really is that easy! If you are just looking to bake something or grill or something like that, there is a drop down menu for that, too! Plus, when you do find a recipe that you want to make, it shows you on one side what exactly you need to make it and then what to do on the other side. There is also a rating scale on there telling you how hard it is to make the certain dishes that you pick out. This recipe link itself is worth knowing who Filippo Berio is! I got the Bon Apetite magazine in hopes of getting some good recipes. This has totally replaced the need for me to pay for that subscription! I am absolutely in LOVE with this product!

P.S. I am a member of Bzzagent and I am lucky enough to get to use these amazing products for free just to tell them my honest opinions of them.
At first glance I could see these creating a problem in my shoes for me. Like I am walking with a heel that is 3" high and I need a bit of a bunch under my foot? They did feel really "gel" like. That is a good check mark for the product. I just didn't know how they were going to feel in my shoes as they have a SERIOUS decline down to my toe. I figured I would just put them on and cause a major foot slide downward. I am HAPPY to say that this did NOT happen.
I have a pair of high wedges that I absolutely LOVE to wear. But after about an hour they tend to get really painful to keep on my feet. When I got invited to this campaign I knew that this was the shoes that I would be trying these baby's out in. I went and dug them out of my shoes box. (Yes I have a box/tote devoted just to MY shoes) LOL. I have kept them put up because I do not like the way they made my feet feel, as I said, after about an hour. Well, I slipped these things in, still skeptical. They stayed really well to my surprise. I put the oh so loved wedges on for the first time in MONTHS. Man, I didn't take them off all day! Nor did I get that feeling of walking in pure hell after an hour either. I would definitely suggest these to any girls that are wearing high heel attire any day! Thank you so much for showing my shoes the light again. They thank you!
Okay,
I got a few chances to try this yummy stuff. I am 12 weeks pregnant and I have been craving pan seared tilopia with rice and bearnaise sauce. So I thought, why not try this stuff out instead of my normal cooking spray to help it not stick. Well this was way better than helping it not stick. The taste is good in combination with the sauces and seasoning that I put on it. It also didn't even try to stick to the pan.
I love how there is a scale on how to switch this stuff out for things that are not as good for us. I think that this will cut down the use of harsher things I use in my cooking for my children. Plus who doesn't love something that tastes great while it is making them better health wise. They have so many recipes that you can use this stuff for, also. I look at them and it makes my mouth water. I will probably be doing one of these awesome looking recipes here in the next week for my family and posting again with a picture and how good it tasted.
This stuff is about $6.00 in the store and to me so worth the money just to cook me fish. The fact that it is good for you and there is so many versatile things that you can use this for is even better. I will definitely be keeping this stocked in my house and using the recipes for new ideas and the chart to replace this instead of the other things. Thank you BzzAgent for allowing me to try this amazing product.

Okay guys, I finally got a chance to try this stuff out. I have been putting this off because I just moved into a new house. I got the package like the day I found out that I was going to be moving in the short term. And by short term I mean..... I have to pack TODAY. That was last Tuesday. Well, we are now in our new house fully and I finally found the package with this product in it. I decided yesterday that my little girl needed a bath and what a better time to use this than to get in the shower with her and kill two birds with one stone.
The first things I did notice about the product was the fact that it has a bead of rough plastic on the part that you open so that you can open it really easy. I do not know about all of you, but sometimes when I am in the shower and I pick up the shampoo and conditioner to use it, someone else has dribbled some of it on the bottle and that makes it super hard to open the flip top. I am usually resorting to using my teeth to open it, and that is rough on them to say the least. (You all know you have done this) LOL. Anyhow, this is a GREAT feature.
The next thing that noticed about it was that is smelled SO good. I enjoy to have something on me that smells good and lasts for a long time. I used this yesterday and it STILL smells good today. I mean just as strong as it was when I put it in my hair yesterday.
Now I have super long hair and I have to use A LOT to get my hair in a lather. And then just as much of the conditioner to make sure I can brush my hair out and make it feel soft. This did what I needed it to. I have used all kinds of hair care products. I have resorted to using the Suave professionals. These are GREAT products for the price. These do not cost a lot either. It is like $3.00 a bottle. My hair today does feel soft and manageable. I do like this product for all the things I have listed above. Would I recommend this to someone else? The answer is yes, I would. Over all a A+ for this product. Thank you Garnier.
