Summer Snack Guide: Perfect treats for the WHOLE family! #Review
With four kids in the house Summer is always full of fun, craziness and LOTS of snacks! My kids are constantly eating. No matter how much I feed them they seem to always be hungry. I swear their tummies are bottomless pits! With that said I decided I would compile a guide listing some of our family summer time snacks and treats!
Duncan Hines Cakes and Brownies: Duncan Hines Limited Edition Spring Velvet cake mix is so much fun. If you’re looking to make a delicious cake or cupcakes than you are going to love Duncan Hines! These fun two toned mixed boxed cake has a yellow velvet cake mix and a pink velvet cake mix, perfect for making a fun Spring/Summer time treat for the kids! The Salted Caramel Brownies are ridiculous. Seriously they are so delicious…they are my newest mommy weakness. The only problem with these Duncan Hines cakes and brownie mixes is that that are so stinking good I am bound to put on a few unwanted pounds.
Vintage Italia Pasta Chips: Snack time doesn’t have to be boring! Indulge your senses with these delicious pasta chips. Each flavor of chip tastes like a perfect bite of an Italian pasta in a crispy little bite. I was in love with these unique chips as soon as I tasted them. Plus not only do I totally love to snack on these chips but all four of my kids love them as well!
Cascadian Farm Organic Cereal and Granola Bars: I love Cascadian Farm Organic foods. For years I have purchased their granola cereals, so when I was offered the opportunity to try out some new cereals and granola bars I was super excited. And as to be expected every single product of Cascadian Farms I have ever tried had been fantastic. Even better I love that these snacks are a healthier organic snack for my kids.
Muir Glen Organic Tomatoes and More: My kids love my homemade pasta sauces. In fact I am pretty sure my kids favorite meal is my homemade spaghetti sauce. That is why I love Muir Glen Organic Fire Roasted Tomatoes and Peeled Tomatoes. My family also loves the organic ketchup and salsa made by Muir Glen. So tasty, organic and naturally made!
Pretzel Crisps: Oh my goodness Pretzel Crisps are amazing and a must have for the summer. I try to keep a few different flavors stocked in my snack cabinet at all times. They are fabulous cracker snacks for a simple snack, pair them with cheese or a yummy dip or turn them into a snack mix. No matter how you choose to eat these tasty little Pretzel Crisps you are sure to love them…I know we do! 🙂
Brownie Brittle: Ok where do I start? Let me just start with Oh My Goodness…these little crispy brownie bites and to die for! Seriously you know that crispy edge of a brownie when you cut it and take it out of the pan? The part you sneak a little taste of when are serving up the soft fresh brownies? Well that is exactly Brownie Brittle is…and to be honest it’s amazing! My favorite flavor is the Salted Caramel! I could eat these everyday all day long (and get REALLY FAT!) Actually to be honest one of the things I love most about the Brownie Brittle is that as amazing as they taste you can get a pretty decent portion and stay within your fats and calorie counts!
Nature’s Own Breads: Whether you are looking for a tasty raisin bread for breakfast, whole wheat sandwich bread or buns for burgers, Nature’s Own offers an array of bread products made from only the best of nature’s ingredients. We love the Cinnamon Raisin bread and bagels! The hot dog rolls and hamburger buns are so soft and moist! Yum Num Num Good 🙂
Chicken Soup BBQ Sauce and foods: Did you know that Chicken Soup for the Soul makes food products? Well they do and let me tell you…they are surely GOOD FOR THE SOUL delicious! I tried out the Classic and Honey Mustard BBQ Sauces, Tomato Basil Soup, Rustic Tomato with Bacon Pasta Sauce, Sloppy Joe meal starter and Zesty Tortilla Soup Crunchy Toppers. Every single product I tried was fantastic and perfect for making an easy tasty summer meal.
TGI Friday’s Snack Chips, Boulder Canyon Potato Chips, and Vidalia Zesty Ranch Sweet Onion Petals: Each of these chips are perfect for a 4th of July party or pool side snack. My husband loves the T.G.I Friday’s Bacon Ranch Potato chips while my favorite was the Boulder Sweet Onion Kettle Chips, and my kids love them all! Each has a fantastic texture, unique flavor and fabulous crunch!
Funley’s 100% Natural Kids Snacks: Whether you are looking for crackers, cookies or granola, Funley’s has the perfect kid friendly snack! My four kids love every single Funley’s snack they have ever tried. As mom I love that they are 100% natural, with NO preservatives, NO trans fats, NO high fructose corn syrup, and NO ARTIFICIAL ANYTHING!
