We are a snacking house, so when I saw that Cheerios was coming out with a new snack mix, I knew we wanted to try it.  Bill and Madison actually eat Cheerios on their own as a snack, so a mix that incorporates them is even better.

For some reason, the bag turned blue when I uploaded the picture.  When you actually go to buy them, they are in a yellow bag (same yellow color as a Cheerios box).  We tried the Cheddar ones here.  Now, I personally would have liked the original ones better.  I don’t like cheddar seasoning on my food.  However, everyone else in my house couldn’t get enough of these.  They ate the entire bag last weekend.  Bill wants to get some more for Madison’s birthday party (in January).  It is the perfect snack for that.  (I also make a killer dip that this would work well with also.)  It is also a perfect snack to just sit around and eat when you don’t want chips.  There are Cheerios, crackers, chex cereal, and pretzels in it.  Everything is whole grain, and it is baked not deep fried.  The mom in me loves that.  I think it retails in the $3 range, so it is right there with other snack foods out there in price.

I would recommend this snack for eating just around the house or a party.  It was a big hit here!

If you want a tasty snack for your kids, Sun Maid Vanilla Yogurt Raisins are the way to go. Madison does not care for raisins all that much. However, she loves these. She tells me that they taste yummy and often asks for them. They are not messy. I don’t feel guilty handing her a box of these verses a bag of chips. The size of the box is a perfect size snack. If you are looking for a healthy snack, look no further.

We tried this today for lunch, and let me tell you, it was a big hit at my house. Madison is loving that she has fishies swimming in her soup (that’s what she told me they were doing). The fish taste great too! The goldfish are included with the other noodles. You can add goldfish crackers if you want. The soup is super easy to make. It isn’t like having to lay fiber cable. All you do is dump the soup into your pan, add in a can of water, and cook away. It took about five minutes. This soup was not any more expensive than regular chicken noodle soup, so I will definitely be buying it again.

After having this soup, you may not have to look at cruise vacations or
cheap cruises this winter to keep warm. It definitely warms you up from the inside out. However, if you still want to look at a cruise or
cruise travel vacation, go right ahead. You just can’t use the cold as your excuse. There are many resorts, cheap hotels, and las vegas resorts that you can stay at in a warmer climate compared to the snowing and freezing here. Anybody know when spring is coming?

This is will be my first (and probably not my last) negative review here. My husband bought these (probably because they were on sale). We normally get the Tostino’s Pizza Rolls, so I was a tad surprised to see these instead. I tried the pepperoni ones.

Do not buy these. When you bite into them, all you taste is the gross breading. There is no flavor. You don’t taste the cheese. You definitely don’t taste any pepperoni. The only good thing I can comment on is the packaging. They came in a resealable ziplock type bag, so you were able to close them up after you took out what you needed. Seriously, spend the extra money and pass on these.

I like popcorn. A lot. I really like the movie theater stuff, but there are so many calories in in. Plus, you can feel your arteries hardening as you eat it. A great way to get your popcorn fix is Orville Redenbacher’s Smart Pop. I buy the 94% fat free butter kind.

I like that almost all the kernels pop when you microwave it. You also don’t end up with burnt popcorn for that to happen. Even though it is not loaded with butter, the popcorn still has a great a taste. The entire bag is about 210 calories, so it is a pretty good snack that is filling. If there isn’t enough butter for you, you can buy the I Can’t Believe Its Not Butter Spray and use that on here. A couple of sprays of that don’t add any calories.

Madison wanted these, so we got them. To be honest, they taste exactly the same as the regular Spaghetti O’s (the price was the same so I was willing to try them). However, I have to admit was I was impressed with the shapes. I figured they would have Dora and that was it. Instead, they have Dora, Boots, Backpack, Map, Star, and Swiper. The shapes even look like the characters. Madison loves them, so I give them 2 thumbs too.
