Frito Lay Tailgating Kit Giveaway!

The contest has ended! Congratulations Bombtastic Belle!

I love football season! You normally wouldn’t find me in front of the television – it’s not my thing. However, during football season that’s exactly where you will find me! We even have put a television on the patio so I can enjoy the weather while I’m watching (or at least until it gets cold then we will move it into the garage). What’s football without a good tailgating party?!?! Whether we are at home, a friends or at a game, we love us a good tailgating party – food, drinks and a little corn hole!

As we gear up for Sunday’s game (Go Steelers!), I had a thought – what can I make that’s tasty but healthier than the traditional wings and loaded nachos? We know few people go to tailgate parties for the veggie – it’s definitely a time to indulge and enjoy. But it doesn’t have to be a total eating catastrophe. At Frito-Lay, they have portion control sizes make it easy to enjoy all your favorite treats – in moderation. The quickest way to transform a tailgating recipe is to use fat free sour cream and/or fat free cream cheese, lean turkey instead of ground beef, and fat free refried beans instead of regular ones. That’s exactly what I did to make our new favs.

Here’s my recipe:
1 – 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cans fat free/sodium free chicken broth
2 pkgs fat free cream cheese
1 bottle Franks Buffalo Wing Sauce
1 bag Baked Tostitos Scoops

Add chicken and chicken broth to crockpot. Cook on high for 4-6 hours. Remove chicken from crockpot and discard chicken broth. Shred chicken breasts and place back into the crockpot. Add cream cheese and buffalo sauce - mix. You will only want to add the amount of buffalo sauce that you can handle. We like ours hot and spicy so we add almost the whole jar (actually, I think last time we did use the whole jar). Make sure crockpot is on low. Enjoy with Baked Tostitos Scoops!

Another favorite:
1 can fat free refried beans
1 jar small jar salsa
1 pkg shredded cheese (usually a cheese blend or 2% mild cheddar)
1 lb lean ground turkey
1 bag Baked Doritos

Brown ground turkey. Drain grease and add other ingredients. Cook until heated and cheese is melted. Enjoy with Baked Doritos.

Overall, fewer penalties, better tailgating...

Giveaway: Woman's World Snack Pack

The giveaway is now closed...we have our winner - Denise!

Over the past couple weeks, I've had the opportunity to try some of Frito Lay's new products - Baked! Chips and Smart Food snacks. They are both very tasty! In my opinion, the Baked! Chips were better than regular potato chips. They didn't leave your fingers greasy after eating them. The Smart Food snacks were my favorite. Smart Food is popcorn clusters that come in great flavors: Honey Multi-grain, Cranberry Almond and Chocolate Cookie Caramel Pecan. They come in individual packages that have a calorie count of about 120. They are great for on-the-go snacking. Cranberry Almond was my favorite.

Previously, I had mentioned Only in A Woman’s World's funny webisodes of situations only a woman can appreciate. One of the features of the website is that you can become like one of the girls and create your own avatar. Here's mine...

Today I have a chance to giveaway one Woman’s World Snack Pack including a bowl, Baked!, Flat Earth and Smart Food snacks, and a two month subscription to NetFlix for the winner. The Netflix subscription sounds perfect and just in time for this summer.

Enter by visiting the Only in a Woman’s World website, trying out the new avatar creation feature and leaving a comment here to let me know what your ‘look-alike’ is wearing. Be sure to leave your email address.

The contest will close on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 at midnight EST. I will notify the winner via email.

My first giveaway - Formula coupons!

It seems like there are giveaways everywhere except here. I've decided that I will have a giveaway this week. This is my very first giveaway! Actually, let’s turn it into two! The giveaway will be 3 Enfamil $5 off coupons for both winners. I will also throw in a few other baby coupons with them since I don't need them. I'm not sure what they will be yet but I think most of them are diaper coupons that I have. Since this is my first giveaway, I'm going to make it pretty simple but a little more exciting than "Enter me, please!" or "Pick Me". Leave me a comment telling me what your favorite baby product is. Don't forget to leave me a way to contact you.

The contest ends on Friday, September 12th @ 10:00 am EST. I will draw a winner from random number generator and contact the winner on Friday! Good luck and thanks for visiting!
