Twice a year The Healthy Shopper put out a list of seasonal picks, their personal top list of healthy products that they feel everyone ought to try. For the last few seasons I've been lucky enough to receive a review packet containing their chosen products, and while it's always a solid line up each season I find the ONE thing that I am super excited about having been … [Read more...]

My Pasta Sauce Favourite, Simply Natural {Review}

December 30, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant 1 Comment

I have been a big fan of Simply Natural pasta sauces for several years now. I was first introduced to their Tomato and Basil and Tomato and Roasted Garlic pasta sauces after I won a Healthy Shopper prize pack a few years back. My family loved the taste, and I loved that the sauce was organic and low in sodium. It quickly because a staple in our household. I was excited to … [Read more...]

Chicken Tinga Tacos, Making Crazy Good Restaurant Style Mexican Food at Home with Old El Paso

November 1, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Old El Paso products are a staple in our house. It's one of the few "box meals" that I will regularly buy. The truth is I've tried making Mexican from scratch and the results have been less than stellar. Relying on Old el Paso is not only simpler, but I also end up with a much tastier end result. I am, in short, a pretty big fan of their taco kits and their canned beans. So … [Read more...]

Peanut Butter Cheerios are BACK and Here to Stay!

July 15, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

My newly minted seven year old is on a serious peanut butter kick. Peanut butter everything. She claims that "Summertime is for peanut butter." and as a backlash against having not been able to have peanut butter sandwiches in her nut free classroom she's declared she wants them every day, all summer long. She's even been trying to get me to let her put peanut butter on weird … [Read more...]

Primanti Bros., a Pittsburgh Institution #LovePGH

June 27, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

My family is currently in Pittsburgh on a press trip. Our very first stop? Primanti Bros. This place is known for its unique sandwiches; thick white bread, your choice of meat (or even fish), cheese, coleslaw, tomato, and french fries. The fries aren't served on the side, but on the sandwich. When we first decided to plan this trip to Pittsburgh my husband went online and … [Read more...]
