GIVEAWAY CLOSED. Congratulations to the five winners!

How would you like to try two cereals that are so new, they aren’t even on the company’s website yet? I’ve got ten boxes of brand new cereals from Envirokidz to give away, and I can assure you, they are both delicious!

We tried both of the new cereals by EnviroKidz, a line of organic cereals from Nature’s Path. The Leapin’ Lemurs are peanut butter and chocolate balls, they taste a little like Reese’s Puffs. The Penguin Puffs, which I LOVE, are a crunchy blend of kamut, quinoa and corn, which it first made me think I wouldn’t like it, but then I tasted it-ever had Honey Smacks? Penguin Puffs taste just like that! Both of these organic cereals are gluten free, and 1% of the sales from these cereals is donated to endangered species, habitat conservation, and environmental education for children.

I want you to find out for yourself how great these cereals are, so I’m having a giveaway with five winners, who will each get one box of Leapin’ Lemurs and one box of Penguin Puffs. All you have to do to get an entry in this contest is leave a comment on this post with your REAL first name, a valid email, and if you have a URL, leave that too please.

John Wm. Macy’s CheeseSticks and CheeseCrisps are deliciously unique crackers that are delicious to eat right out of the box, or with your favorite toppings. I received one of each of the three varieties to try for this review, and not only did I like them, but my boys gobbled them up!

Melting Parmesan CheeseSticks have a buttery taste, with a subtle Parmesan flavor. Sesame Gruyere CheeseCrisps tastes like a cheese biscuit turned into a crispy cracker. Cheddar Gruyere is my favorite, it has a good balance of cheeses. And now John Wm. Macy himself is holding a contest to find the best recipe using CheeseSticks or CheeseCrisps, with a Grand Prize of a two night stay in New York City, $500 cash, your picture and recipe on the back of the package of crackers used in your recipe, a tour of the factory with John himself, and a years’ supply of CheeseSticks!

To enter, visit the John Wm. Macy’s Twist ‘n Crunch 2008 Recipe Contest site for how to enter, a list of prizes, and all the rules. And pick up some CheeseSticks or CheeseCrisps too, they are delicious!

What combines servings of vegetables, microwave convenience, a just-right portion size, and a terrific taste that kids love? It’s Ragú’s® new Fresh and Simple All Natural sauce pouches! I received two pouches from MomCentral to sample, and for me, it’s a perfect way to serve pasta for lunch! The pouches come in three flavors-Traditional Tomato Basil, Garden Vegetable, and Tomato, Onion & Garlic. Like traditional Ragú® sauces, the Fresh and Simple sauces have no sugar, no artificial additives and no preservatives.

All you do is clip the corner of the pouch, pop it in the microwave for NINETY SECONDS, and pour the sauce over cooked pasta and voila, spaghetti for lunch! Since it’s just Kaitlyn and I having lunch at home during the week, it’s great to have a smaller amount, too. I’ve thrown away WAY too many opened jars of spaghetti sauce that got a little fuzzy around the edges.

Ragú® is committed to providing busy moms and dads with the tips, tools, and ideas they need to fuel their kids’ appetites and imaginations, so they created a website called Feed Our Kids Well. There you will find links to the Ragú® panel of experts including dieticians, nutritionists, fitness experts, and MomCentral’s own Stacy DeBroff (!), a link to the order form for a FREE 34 page Feed Our Kids Well recipe book, and a link to Ragu.com which has HUNDREDS of recipes and great meal ideas. I’ve used it myself!

Finally, the website has a video created to illustrate just why it is so important to Ragú® to provide wholesome, delicious products like the Fresh and Simple sauce pouches. They know how important our children are to us, how much love and joy they bring to our lives. They know we want to nourish both our children’s imaginations and their appetites. They know that our children are a Daily Gift.

Ragú® is a company that I am proud to support and recommend here on MomReviews. Thank you to MomCentral for providing the Fresh and Simple pouches, and thank you for making them, Ragú®.

The traditional way to dress a salad is to make the salad first, then top it with a dressing. New Wish-Bone Bountifuls Salad Dressings want you to rethink that by choosing your dressing first, then designing a salad around it. There are four flavors to choose from:

- Tuscan Romano Basil — a delectable Mediterranean vinaigrette made with
aged Romano cheese, tomatoes and basil
- Hearty Italian — a luscious Italian vinaigrette filled with pieces of
sweet onions, red and green bell peppers and carrots
- Berry Delight — a sweet and tangy vinaigrette made with bits of
blueberries, raspberries and strawberries, perfect for a vegetable or
fruit salad
- Simply Santa Fe — a subtly spicy southwestern-inspired vinaigrette
brimming with corn, red peppers, tomatoes and cilantro

I received a full-size bottle of each dressing for this review, and I really wasn’t prepared for just how flavorful they are. The Wish-Bone website has recipes for each of the dressings, and I surprised to see that they recommend mixing the Berry Delight with fruit, yogurt and granola! For the Tuscan Romano Basil, the website has six delicious recipes for salads that use different meats and vegetables. It would be delicious over pasta salad. Hearty Italian Dressing is great to use to marinate or season veggies or brush on fish before broiling. The Simply Santa Fe Dressing is an ingredient in a Four-Cheese Enchilada Bake that looks really good.

As part of their “Go Greens! Eat Salad” Campaign, Wish-Bone has created a website that features a Digital Garden. Register for the site and try for some daily instant win prizes like a reusable Greenshopper Grocery Bag. See what people just like you are eating with Salad Connections.
