Coffee-Mate Natural Bliss Liquid Coffee Creamer – Part II #CBias #NaturalBlissWM

As you know, I recently did a shopportunity for Coffee-Mate Natural Bliss Liquid Coffee Creamer. I was excited to see how it compared to the creamer I currently use as well as my usual Starbucks order – Caramel Macchiato. I mean, if it’s as good as it says it is I would consider bringing my own coffee to work and potentially saving a lot of money.
There were 3 flavors to choose from – Caramel, Vanilla (regular & lowfat), Sweet Cream – and they all sounded delish. However, I have a weakness for Caramel so I decided to try that one first.
One of the things I like about the Natural Bliss Coffee Creamer is that the bottle is not overly huge which allows me to store it anywhere in my fridge. That may not sound like a big deal to you but I’m pretty limited on refrigerator space. Plus, with a smaller size I can get all 3 varieties without having to worry that I won’t be able to use them up before their expiration dates.
I was also impressed that Natural Bliss contains only 4 ingredients – nonfat milk, cream, sugar, and natural flavor. This made me want to check out the ingredients on my current dairy creamer and I was surprised to see that it has artificial flavors, palm oil, water, and a few other ingredients that I can’t even pronounce. What an eye opener.
But like most things . . . it all comes down to taste. I made my usual coffee in my beloved Keurig Coffee Maker (boy, I love that thing) and added in the Caramel Natural Bliss. The liquid creamer looked rich and creamy as it mixed with the coffee.
I took a sip and . . . OMG . . . it was good! You could really taste the Caramel flavor but it wasn’t too overpowering or sweet. Now I want to try the other flavors as well!
Will I stop going to Starbucks? Probably not. However, Natural Bliss tastes so good that I know I’ll be bringing my own coffee along with me more often. And I’m definitely getting rid of the other creamers in my refrigerator asap. With only 4 ingredients, Natural Bliss is my choice of creamers!

Eating On-The-Go with Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls #CBias #TysonBreakfast

Although Breakfast is my family’s favorite meal, some days there just isn’t enough time in the morning to cook a warm meal. There’s a running joke in my family that my kids’ choices usually comprise of ready-made foods that can be prepared instantly. Of course, some of these options may not be the most healthiest or even tastiest meals. So I when I heard about Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls, I was very interested in learning more about them.
What I found were miniature-sized bread bowls filled with farm-fresh eggs, real cheese, and a tasty breakfast meat like country-style sausage or smoked bacon. Better yet, they’re ready to go in less than 50 seconds! Now, who can’t find 50 seconds for a warm and tasty meal? Even my coffee takes longer than that to brew.
The best part is that they’re so portable. The way the filling is tucked inside the bowl there’s no way it’s going to fall out and make a mess in the car. Even when you’re eating it the hearty filling stays together. I think it must be all that real cheese that keeps everything together.
Plus, I like that you don’t have to eat them right out of the microwave. Some of the other bread-like foods that we’ve had before tended to turn hard once it cooled down. The Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls stays very edible even hours later. How do I know this? I can’t tell you how many times I made my breakfast only to forget that it was even in the microwave until I tried to make my lunch.
Once they’re ready I can just put the bread bowl into a small container or Ziploc bag and we’re out the door.
And since our commute to school usually takes about 45 minutes, using that time for breakfast just makes sense to me. It allows us to get other things done at home before our hectic day begins.
So whether you’re looking for a quick out-the-door breakfast or just another delicious meal option, check out Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls at your local Sam’s Club. I know you’re family will love them as much as mine does!

Cool New JELL-O Pudding Snacks
March 19, 2012 by Kailani
Filed under food, product reviews
Our family has always loved JELL-O products because of their convenience, taste, and innovative products. And with their newest pudding flavors, Strawberry Sundae and S’more, I know my kids will be begging for me to stock up on these cool new tastes.
The Strawberry Sundae is layered with a strawberry ice cream pudding and topped with a sweet strawberry sauce. You can eat them by layers or mix them up (like my kids do) and enjoy both tastes in each bite. This was my favorite out of the two because it had just the right sweetness without overdoing it. For me, it was a great way to satisfy my usual afternoon sweet tooth craving.
The S’more Pudding Snack has a chocolate graham pudding layered with a whipped marshmallow topping. The kids loved the rich chocolate taste. They especially liked the toasted marshmallow layer and ate that up first saving the chocolate pudding for last. The kids said that it tasted just like real S’mores and I liked that they could enjoy a S’more anytime without all the hassle of setting up the grill.
And since these pudding cups are made with real milk and no artificial sweeteners I felt comfortable letting them have a pudding cup whenever they asked for a snack. It’s also great to throw into their lunchboxes, take along to grandma’s house, or serve during play dates. They’re perfect for any occasion!

Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bread Bowls #CBias #TysonBreakfast

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. So much so that I could have breakfast foods for lunch and dinner as well. My oldest daughter, Kacie, feels the same way and says her favorite food in the world is bacon. Who can blame her?
Thanks to Collective Bias, we were recently shipped a sample box of Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bread Bowls directly to our home and the girls insisted that we try them out immediately.
There were 12 bread bowls packaged by twos which I thought was very convenient. I don’t have a very large freezer and being able to store them separately made it so much easier on me.
Each individual bread bowl measures approximately 2.5 inches across.
Cooking them was a piece of cake. Just remove the bread bowls from the wrapper, place them on a microwavable plate, and heat for 50 seconds. So easy that even Kacie (10) could make them on her own. In fact, she made them for her sisters for breakfast one morning so that I could sleep in a little.
But how did they taste? They were so good! The bread bowl itself was very soft while the inside (egg, bacon, cheese) tasted like the real thing.
I liked that the 50 seconds actually warmed up the bread bowls evenly and the bread never got hard once the bowls cooled down. I’ve had so many other microwavable foods heat up unevenly resulting in undesirable and sometime inedible meals.
The Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bread Bowls are perfect for busy school mornings. We just heat them up before we head on out and the kids can eat them in the car or when they get to school. They also make good afternoon snacks or anytime you need a little something to munch on.
We will definitely be purchasing more of these breakfast bowls in the future!
