Cooking Healthy Tips for Children #BensBeginners

Getting healthy is an important step I started last year and it has paid off.  Not only have I lost 30 pounds but my children are now focused on getting healthy and being healthy.  It hasn't been as easy for my four year old but we're making strides and I know we'll get there.  I've seen remarkable improvements in the choices from my eight year old as well as getting my oldest, 23, motivated into losing weight and getting healthy.  Getting healthy is not something you can do overnight with a click of the switch as it's a mindset and a lifestyle change that involves work and commitment.


Some of the ways that I'm incorporating healthier eating and cooking include:

• Again, it's not a snap of the fingers and it's done rather it's a step by step change of habits.  I didn't remove all the cola and junk food at once and I haven't eliminated it completely.  Rather I do allow some but it's about moderation.  If I went cold turkey, they would have revolted so I ensured that I was starting on the right foot.
• Second, I get them involved in the meal planning.  I find out what they want to fix and let them help prepare the menu.  I look up recipes and show them for their input.  Sometimes we make a menu and they can color it to feel more empowered in our meal preparation.
• Third, I have them help cook.  What child doesn't like to cook and if they partake in the process, they might be inclined to eat.
• Finding fun recipes such as vegetable animals where you can make shapes and add other vegetables can create some fun edible garnishments for that extra push to eat.
• Cooking from scratch versus popping everything in the microwave is also healthier in my opinion.  I control the ingredients and can select organic foods if I want.  They have learned that cooking from recipes is healthier from my standpoint.
• I also use products such as brown rice, whole wheat bread and foods that have been processed less to make them healthier.
• Sneaky cooking is another option as there are great recipes that you can supplement items for to make the recipe healthier such as cauliflower, sour cream, and so forth. Sneaky cooking is a great way to get that picky eater something a bit healthier without them even knowing.

There are many ways to encourage children to eat healthier for the sake of their health now and the future.  We have the ability to train them now for a lifetime of better eating if we lead by example.  Simple things such as involving them in food planning, preparation and other fun activities will encourage them to eat healthier and stay healthier.  We have a lot of fun experimenting and even when I can't get them to eat something I want, being sneaky is never off limits.  A little hidden vegetables can go a long way!

Do you have a child between ages 5 and 12?  If so, submit a 2-3 minutes video of you cooking a rice-based dish with your children and you could win $20,000 along with a $50,000 grant towards a cafeteria makeover for your child's school with Uncle Ben's Ben's Beginners contest!  Check out more on Ben's Beginners on Facebook.

Five Mom-Inspired Driving Tips #Esurance

Driving is a scary time anymore as it seems there are too many distractions on the road.  Not only do you have to worry about what might be in the road or your own vehicle but you have to always be on the watch out for others. It's not easy trying to drive at times when you have your kids in the car because they also offer their own mode of distractions.  Sometimes they just can't help themselves and require immediate attention.  Being on alert is imperative when it comes to driving and watching out for others.  Based on my many years of experience with driving and helping to teach one teen how to drive, here are my five inspired driving tips.

• Slow down!  That is for everyone!  When you are in a hurry, not only will you possibly make careless mistakes but you might also get a case of road rage.  I found that when I'm in a hurry, I tend to get angrier when I drive so I have learned to slow down.  Slowing down is also safer from an auto standpoint.  Having a tire blow out going 70 mph versus 60 mph can mean the difference between life and death.
• Treat distractions as non-existent until you are safe.  If the phone rings, wait to find out who calls.  When you didn't have a phone, you still kept driving so there is no reason why a call can't wait.  Same with text messaging as it's unsafe and in many states, illegal.  There is nothing that can't wait until you are parked.  If the kids are causing a problem that is taking your attention, pull over in a safe spot and deal with it.  I've seen too many parents try to discipline as they drive.
• Buckle up and use appropriate car seats for children.  You always hear of so many people dying because they weren't properly seated in the car.  It takes a click to buckle up and you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to prepare for anything.
• Keep your distance and don't tailgate.  Even if it's illegal to cause an accident, it doesn't stop people from slamming on their brakes if you are tailgating.  When driving, always be on the look out for the other guy and it's one thing I really taught my daughter.  You have to always watch to make sure someone is not going to swerve in your lane, make sure they are going to stop and so forth.  Being on the defense is paramount to good car safety.
• Drive for the conditions is what my parents always told me.  I neglected that rule when in high school as I didn't realize the roads really did become slick with rain around curves and wiped out a telephone pole and a boat on a trailer not to mention my car.  Hazards are everywhere so you have to watch and adjust for the conditions at all times.

Driving is a tough time especially for the young.  When you are a mom, you have so many distractions battling for your time but when you are driving, paying close attention is the key to staying safe.  No matter what, most everything can wait their turn. Keep the phone away from you to avoid temptation, talk to the kids about car safety, keep the car maintained properly to hopefully avoid things like tire blow outs and most importantly, buckle up!

Mamavation Late!

I'm very very late in posting my Mamavation update but I've had a migraine that won't go away.  It's an excuse but it's worthy enough of using trust me!  I am a big Biggest Loser fan and this season's motto is "no excuses."  Sometimes one just has to have one and it's mine this wee.  I've done hardly nothing for two days and not being able to run is killing me!  


I know I finally hit that magic point because I feel immense guilt for not exercising and when I see a commercial like the new Jack in the Box Jumaco, it makes me almost physically ill over how much food they are offering in the meal not to mention the unhealthy aspect of it.

Needless to say, I'm striving to get back to my Hawaii days and I'm soooooo close that I could almost scream in excitement.  Although not a picture of my entire body, I can see my weight loss in my face and am happy with the progress of running and counting calories.


Special thanks to Scott for recommending the salmon oil for my knee pain as it's working like a charm!

Valentine's Day Classroom Cards & More at Tiny Prints

I'm a fan of just about any holiday although some might be more favorite than others.  Valentine's Day was always so much fun as a child with choosing which Valentine Cards to buy and who received which version of the card.  As an adult, my tastes changed and I preferred the cards that had some style and professionalism with them.  Granted my children probably don't know the difference but I do.  When I look for Valentines Day, I look for variety and options which is why I love Tiny Prints.


This time, I'm focusing on classroom Valentine's Day cards because they are so cute!  I have to admit that I do love the photo cards just because I get to pick the cutest of the cutest pictures of my girls to put on them.  This is one of my favorites!  One thing to note about the classroom cards is if you are planning on mailing them, they are too small for Postal regulation and thus will require your own envelope but what a great excuse to send a gift too!

I asked my two girls which cards they preferred and here is what they picked:

My older daughter couldn't decide but here were her three favorites:

 

Aren't they all cute?  There are so many different ones to choose from whether you have a boy or a girl and want a photograph or not.  The ages vary so there is sure to be a card for every child and even us big children!

Check out Tiny Prints for all your card and many gift needs!  Follow on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest to stay up to date on the latest and maybe even some special deals!

Apple Laptop Battery Replacements

I started to write this post by starting out with who doesn't own a laptop anymore but I rethought that as I'm sure there are many people who don't.  For those that do, you know what it's like to have a dead battery and what a pain that can be as it always seems to happen at the most inopportune time.  I used to have a laptop where I had an extra battery and if I ever get back to traveling, it's definitely something I would look into.  My daughter's battery was always running out and I never thought to buy another Apple Laptop Battery for her which now seems pretty simple to do since prices have also dropped.

Having that extra back up is a good idea no matter what you are doing as you never know when you might need it.  Since laptops are so portable, it's not much weight to carry around either.  I have a laptop and know that the battery life is pretty short and I can't remember how many times it has died on me because I forgot to charge it.  Do you keep an extra battery around?

All Natural Mini VitaCake Fudgy Chocolate Cakes Review

Are you part of so many others trying to lose weight or just trying to get healthier?  I am and many of my family and friends are.  I have tried diet after diet and nothing has worked until I started watching what I eat and exercising.  Watching what I eat is the key and watching what you eat can be boring.  I was eating cabbage soup in between other meals to have something a little healthier with low calories.  This is why I was completely surprised to  taste how good the all natural Mini VitaCake FudgyChocolate cakes are by Vitalicious.


Not only are they only 14 g of carbs and 1 g of fat but they are only 50 calories!  The kicker for me is they are natural.  If you want to snack on something not as good, you can eat four chocolate covered peanuts or this mini cake that really is delicious.  I find them to be the perfect snack in between meals and knowing that they are not going to be filled with processed sugars is a huge plus. 


You can purchase a 24 pack for only $21 online at Vitalicious.


It is chocolatey and some bites have a great tasting chocolate chip that enhances that bite.  It's moist, dreamy and wonderful!  I have been eating one a day and am still losing approximately two pounds a week.  They are conveniently packaged to take on the go or to pop in the microwave for a warm, gooey taste.  I am definitely sold and will be returning to Vitalicious for both myself and my children for great tasting snacks!


By the way, it only takes 7 minutes to walk off one VitaCake!


Vitalicious also has other products such as VitaTops, VitaMuffins, VitaBrownies and more!

Identity Theft Protection

Have you ever been a victim of identity theft?  I was once but was notified by the bank luckily.  Had we not been, we would have been responsible for over $500 of charged racked up by someone who obtained my credit information via a previous hack to a site I used in the past.  When thinking of people stealing your identity, it's a big deal.  Not only can it cost you immediately from a financial aspect but it has long term ramifications on your credit report and future interest rate charges.  IdentityHawk is one company that does provide the comfort needed for those incidents when someone steals your identity.

Identity theft protection is something I was missing and I was very fortunate that the bank caught it and put a stop on payment.  I do admit that it did require a lot of work on my part as I had to contact each online vendor where the purchases occurred to stop payment.  After I did that, made several calls to the bank, I was then instructed to file a report at the local police station.  That was a lot not to mention the mental duress of worrying if we caught all the transactions, caught them in time and would we be without the money.  I was relieved it ended happily but that's not always the case.

Post® New Honey Bunches of Oats Fruit Blend Cereals

 

Have you heard about Post® New Honey Bunches of Oats Fruit Blend Cereals?  I hadn't either until a few minutes ago!  The newest, Fruit Blends, includes two fruit combinations – Peach Raspberry and Blueberry Banana. The two bursts of fruit flavor complement each other with one on the crispy flakes and the other baked into the crunchy granola bunches. 

I don't know about you but I love blueberries and bananas so I can't wait to try it!  I also like that it has 10 grams of whole grains and not processed for each 3/4 cup serving!  Whole grains are so much better for you and with only 6 grams of sugar, that's just the perfect amount to make it sweet and tasty.

How to Make a Football Snack Cake #gluenglitter #cbias

I had a challenge to create a snack cake or a craft cake like you see with the diaper cakes so I chose a snack cake just in time for the Superbowl!  Making a football craft cake was fun yet challenging at first as I had no idea how I was going to make it so I took to the web and my Facebook friends for some suggestions.  I ended up making this cute football cake that would even appeal to the men since it was not "girly."

I set out to my local Walmart since they have a crafting department and some extra goodies like candy bars and peanuts which I needed for this cake.  We got there early to avoid the rush and it was definitely nicer.  The girls loved looking at all the princess stickers and scrapbooking embellishments but I was on a mission to find as many Elmer's Glue products as I could.  I have used Elmer's adhesives for many of my other parties which you can see by clicking on parties.

I had some items already but here is what you will need to make this snack cake:

• Elmer's CraftBond Glue Spots Medium Thin
• Elmer's CraftBond Foam Mounting Tape
• Elmer's CraftBond Wet and Dry Dual Tip Glue Pen
• Elmer's Mini Bi-Fold Foam Board 
• Elmer's Paint Marker - silver
• Elmer's Gel Pens 
• Three different sizes of Styrofoam circles - you can use the Foam Board if your store carries the different sizes but mine didn't
• 3 small bags of Hersheys and Snickers
• 1 jar of peanuts
• 1 snack size bag of Kit Kats and Reeses
• 1 roll of brown ribbon
• 1 roll of brown ribbon with polka dots
• Package of small footballs - craft store
• Package of foam small footballs - craft store
• 1 small paint can - craft store
• 4 wooden skewers 
• Soda or water caps or anything to provide the bottom a base

Instructions:

First step was to secure the bottom with a base since I had the ribbon overlap the top and the bottom of the circle.  I used Coke bottle caps to provide the base.  Not exactly pretty but it's on the bottom and it's an effort to reuse what I had.

I secure each layer by using pieces of wooden skewers and glue to fasten them in place and for added strength.  I then added ribbon and used the Foam Mounting Tape to secure around the back #gluenglitter.

I used the CraftBond Glue Spots to secure the candy bars together for added support.  I also put one periodically on the bottoms of the bars to secure for transport.  Using the Foam Board would have been ideal for added adhesive qualities.

I also added extra Kit Kats and Reeses in between each layer to provide a secret surprise stash and extra strength to keep the next layer up.  I added small football foam shapes periodically around the ribbons as well as in the back where the seams met up.

On the final or top layer, I filled the small paint can with peanuts and placed on top securing with more foam tape.  I added two layers of Reeses around the top and secured them with the CraftBond Glue Spots.  The CraftBond Foam Tape was ideal for keeping the footballs on top together.

I had the girls sign "thank you" on the foam board and stuck the sign in the back to thank the soldiers for all they do.  You could purchase the plastic basket bag to secure everything together if you have to transport it.

It took about an hour or maybe more to put it together.  I think it actually looks better in person than the photo.  You can check out all my photos here on Google+.

General Mills 5 Boxes of Cereal Giveaway 2/6

A new year and a new set of goals if you are like me.  I have set aside some goals for the year and one in particularly started actually last year but because getting healthy is a life long journey, there is nothing wrong with continuing a new year's resolution into the following year as if it's a new resolution.  To date since I started working on getting healthier, I've lost 28 pounds since around June of 2010.  That wasn't easy and it's a complete mind set change along with a need to exercise as I won't tell you that you can't.  Part of my getting healthier was for myself and the rest was for my children.  As parents, we lead by example and I don't want my children doing the same mistakes I made when it comes to our health.  One of the areas I'm working on with myself and them is consuming more whole grains.  Whole grains are reported to be essential to the well being of our body and whether or not that is true, I believe it is so.  I'm happy my girls have chosen General Mills' cereals as their cereal of choice.

Another thing you may not know is that when you look at the ingredients on a product, the first ingredient is the biggest portion of the recipe.  When you shop for General Mills cereal, the white check mark signifies that particular cereal has more whole grain than any other singular ingredient and that sure beats sugar being the first ingredient!  According to Dr. Travis Stork, emergency room physician and host of The Doctors, identifying whole grain products can be difficult.  He stated if you see a product listed with whole grain with oat or wheat following, it means the product contains the most whole grain over any other ingredient.


Dr. Stork provided additional guidelines to help us on our journey to get healthier:

• Start Early! The Dietary Guidelines recommend people get at least 48 grams of whole grain in their daily diets. Get a jump-start on the day’s nutrition by incorporating whole grain into your morning routine. For instance, when choosing cereal make sure whole grain is listed as the first ingredient. One easy choice is cereal with the white check, which have more whole grain than any other single ingredient.
• Make Simple Swaps. Choose whole grain versions of the foods you love. Great options include whole wheat pasta and whole wheat bread or even whole grain crackers. Also, try different types of whole grain. Use brown rice instead of white rice as a side dish at dinner or popcorn, which is a whole grain, for a snack.
• Don’t Judge a Food by Its Cover. The front of food packages provide good nutritional cues, but don’t forget to read the ingredients and check the nutrition label and side labels for additional health information. Cereals with the white check even include the amount of whole grain per serving on packaging.

If you want to have some fun and learn a bit more, General Mills created an online educational game called "Fast Lane for Whole Grain."  You will be taken through a virtual grocery store to find the products with the most whole grain along with an option to enter a sweepstakes to win one of 50 boxes of cereal with the white mark.

1. Total
2. Honey Nut Cheerios
3. Lucky Charms
4. Cinnamon Toast Crunch
5. Cheerios
