Product Review & Giveaway: Food Should Taste Good Tortilla Chips - GIVEAWAY CLOSED

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!!!  See the winner here.

I got the opportunity to sample and review some Food Should Taste Good tortilla chips. They are all natural tortilla chips are made from real, simple ingredients. All of our chip varieties are free of cholesterol, preservatives and trans fat, and do not use genetically modified ingredients.  They are also certified Kosher and Gluten Free, lower in sodium, and are a good source of dietary fiber.


Pretty neat, huh?

They sent out a nice box of several flavors for me. I got The Works, Lime, Mulitgrain, Jalapeno, and Blue Corn.
My Box O' Goodies

We had a little tasting party!
The pretty chips
I love that each of the chips has it's own particular shape.  The multigrain is hexagonal, the lime is the shape of a lime wedge, the blue corn is also hexagonal, the jalapeno is trapezoidal, and the works is a diamond.  A very attractive product.  I can forsee a geometry based lunch...


But... how did they taste?


In a word - 


Awesome.


The Boy liked Lime best.  The jalapeno was too spicy for him.  The girl hasn't tried them yet, but I think that she would like them all except for the jalapeno.  My kids are wimps when it comes to spice.  


*sigh*  Oh, well.


Food Should Taste Good also has a Facebook Page.  If you go to it, and click on the Giveaway tab, you can enter to win some free chips through them.  (Do NOT post on their wall to enter the giveaway, please.  That would get really cluttered, really quickly).


You can also go to their website for more information, and you can get a coupon there, too!


But... they also generously offered to sponsor a giveaway for you, my dear readers!


To enter the giveaway, simply tell me what five flavors you would like to try.  That's it.  No bells or whistles.  


One entry per person please, open to US residents only.  I will pick a winner on September 3 at 6 PM (ish) at random.  And you'll get a box like mine - with five wonderful bags of chips!  No anonymous comments, please.  If I can't get in touch with you, you can't win.


I received the sample box of chips to try and review, but got no other compensation for this review and giveaway.  I just love the opportunity to share yummy things with my dear readers!

Lunches for an Outing: 8.25.10

I am not going to be with the kiddos today, but I'm sending them to spend the day with my brother and their cousins.  It should be fun for them!  Hope that my brother survives the day...

To help him survive, I've packed my kids lunches in their Easy Lunchboxes.


I packed some popcorn, homemade applesauce, a sandwich on pain de mie (it's the last of this past loaf!) - the Girl has ham and cheese, and the boy has cheese.  He is not a huge fan of meat.  They also have four mini dulce de leche girlscout cookies.

For snack, I'll send out some more of the cinnamon maple muffins.  Mmmm.

Lunches for an Outing: 8.24.10

I'm bringing the kids to a great outdoor museum, and of course I packed lunches for us in our Easy Lunchboxes!
An Easy LunchBox cooler full of yummy lunches!
The Boy has some green grapes, some homemade yogurt with vanilla simple syrup stirred in, a teddy bear cheese sandwich on pain de mie, and some sweet potato chips (made according to Fix Me a Snack's recipe - I think I like them better made in the microwave, they get crispier... these are still delicious, though).
I have no idea what the Boy has against red grapes.

Mommy doesn't warrant a fun shaped sandwich

I also have a snack to bring for the afternoon.  (The Boy is a Type 1 diabetic, so we need to have snacks on hand).  We have ritz crackers sandwiched with peanut butter, and some dulce de leche Girl Scout Cookies that I've had sequestered in the freezer all summer.
A monochromatic snack, but delicious

I've got an outing with the kiddos tomorrow, but Daddy has lunch for work in his Easy Lunchbox.

He has ham and cheese sandwiches on my pain de mie (including some scraps from the kids' sandwiches - ugly, but he'll eat them!), some grapes, and some homemade yogurt with strawberry jam mixed in.

Mommy's Lunch: 8.23.10

Daddy's home with the kiddos today (I'm sensing they will have pb&j for lunch...) so I just had to pack for myself in my Easy Lunchbox.

I have ham sandwiches on my latest batch of pain de mie (it turned out wonderfully!), grapes, and a small piece of the Cherry Almond Princess bundlette I still have leftover.
