#ad Celebrate the Holidays with HORMEL GATHERINGS® Party Trays @HormelFoods #appetizer #stressfreeparty

I received free product in exchange for my honest review.

One of our favorite hor'deurves during the holiday season are meat and cheese trays. To be honest, it's the only part of the holiday feast my youngest son eats willingly.  It's always one of the first things we set out on the table, and the first our guests reach for. But cutting up all those meats and cheeses takes time away from stuffing turkeys and hams. Luckily, Hormel makes it easy to serve up party trays with all your favorite meats and cheeses.

HORMEL GATHERINGS® Party Trays are pre-made trays you can grab at your local grocery store. They come with a selection of meats, cheeses, and crackers. Each piece of cheese is already sliced into perfect cubes and the meat is a quality you can only find with Hormel.  Some even have olives. Each item comes in its own package so they stay nice and fresh until you are ready to open them. Each of the meats are succulent, and the cheese just melts in your mouth. The crackers were fresh and crispy as well.

My family got to try out one of the trays, and they just loved the variety. Ours came with salami, two different cheeses, and olives. One of the things I really loved about the tray is how there are sections for each item. All you have to do is open up the package and lay them out on the tray, and you instantly have a beautiful presentation.  When your gathering ends, just toss the whole tray in the trash. There is no messy clean up. In my home state, I was even able to toss the packaging in my recycles. It's a delicious way to start off the holiday.

Of course, the tray we tried is only one example of the varieties available from HORMEL GATHERINGS®. You can mix and match different cheeses, salami, pepperoni, turkey, olives and more, so you are guaranteed to get a tray that all your guests will love.  Here are a few more examples of the options available.

The holidays are stressful enough. Why make it worse by wasting precious time slicing cheese and meats for a party tray.  HORMEL GATHERINGS® Party Trays make it easy to enjoy your favorite snacks at all your holiday gatherings. They are also perfect for game day! You can find these delicious trays in the refrigerated section of your local grocery market. Check Hormel's store locator for a store near you that carries them. Grab one today and take the stress out of your holiday preparations.

Lean and Laced Hot Cocoa Bar for Super Bowl

With the Super Bowl taking place in less than two weeks, you may be looking for a unique beverage option that won’t sideline your diet as so many game day traditions do. A hot cocoa “bar” is a fun and delicious way to treat guests at a Super Bowl party, but with an array of sugary toppings, calories can add up quick.

Nutrition Chef Valerie Cogswell’s Lean and Laced Hot Cocoa recipe is the perfect treat for those looking to indulge without feeling any guilt. The cocoa is rich, chocolaty and loaded with Power Crunch Proto Whey Protein to help stay lean and boost the metabolism while watching the big game!

Stock the bar with healthier toppings like toasted nuts, real light whipped cream, and protein-rich chopped Power Crunch Milk or Dark Choklat Energy Bars. For a grown-up twist, add just a splash of flavored vodka or amaretto to keep the calories at bay. At around 200 calories and 21 grams of protein per serving, this fun and decadent party option will be an instant game day ritual!

Power Crunch Lean & Laced Hot Cocoa “Bar”

By Nutrition Chef Valerie Cogswell

www.ValerieCogswell.com

6 servings: makes 9 ½ cups

1 ½ cups per serving

Nutrition information per serving (not including alcohol or additional garnishes)

Calories per serving:  201

Protein per serving:  21 grams

Carbohydrates per serving: 16 grams

Fat per serving:  6.5 grams

Ingredients:

12 scoops Power Crunch Proto Whey Double Chocolate Protein Powder

6 cups unsweetened almond milk

3 cups water

2 heaping tablespoons all natural, unsweetened cocoa

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

3 pinches sea salt

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Amaretto or flavored vodka (marshmallow, vanilla, whip cream, cake, etc.) – Optional

Garnishes for the Hot Cocoa Bar:

All natural light whipped cream in the can

Power Crunch Milk & Dark Choklat Protein Energy Bars, chopped

Toasted nuts (almond, peanuts, pecans, pinenuts), chopped

Rainbow nonpareils

Cocoa

Cinnamon

1.       Combine all ingredients (except alcohol) with a whisk in a big pot until smooth over medium heat.  As cocoa begins to get hot, whisk constantly.  Once cocoa is hot throughout, remove from heat.  

2.       Stir in alcohol if desired.  Because amaretto and flavored vodkas are very sweet and high in calories, add just a little at a time and taste as you go.  Or just add a small splash to individual mugs.

3.       Top with a dollop of light whipped cream and desired garnishes. Enjoy!

My Thoughts

I've never been a big fan of energy drinks. Most of them taste artificial or chalky. But for the new year, I resolved to eat healthier and lose weight. Energy drinks are a great way to stay on track. So I decided to give Power Crunch Proto Whey a try. I was sent a few  individual packets in double chocolate to test out. Each packet is added to six ounces of water. It dissolves easily when stirred and creates a nice thick shake. It looked delicious, but I was still leery about how it would taste. Thankfully, it was a pleasant surprise. The hydrolyzed whey protein was a delicious chocolately treat. It was like getting a milk shake without all the calories. I enjoyed it way more than I expected. Even better, it fills me up in the morning and gives me the energy I need to get through the day.

Get Ready for the Big Game with RW Garcia

RW Garcia's Veggie Dippers combine the variety of three flavors in one bag - Spinach and Garlic, Red Beet and Onion, and Carrot Tomato Sesame. The Blue and Yellow MixtBag is a classic crunchy snack that is made from all-natural, non-GMO blue and yellow corn. RW Garcia's stone-ground corn tortilla chips were the first chip to be verified by the Non-GMO Project and contain no additives or preservatives and are also certified gluten free.

My Thoughts

 It's football and that means cookout time and no cookout/barbecue is a complete without chips and dip. But folks are getting awful health conscious...women want to lose ten more pounds, older people are worried about gluten or cholesterol, there's the low-carb thing...

You need a healthy chip.

Look no further than RW Garcia's tortilla chips. They offer classic, flax, seed, mixed bag...all healthy and gluten free, free of artificial ingredients, free of oil and trans fats, organic

 RW Garcia Tortatos brings you a fun way to eat healthier without giving up the things you love. They offer a variety of Tortilla-ish chips that are free from GMOs and gluten. They are also made from wholesome ingredients like flaxseed and veggies.  My family tried out  the Mixt Bag of Yellow & Blue Corn Tortilla Chips as well as the 3Seed Veggie Dipping Chips. Each one was a unique experience.

 Each of the chips are packed with tons of flavor. They don't taste like cardboard like so many other gluten-free alternatives I've tried. You don't even need to add salsa. They are tasty all on their own. The chips are crispy and delicious. They are the perfect cross between a potato chip and a tortilla chip. You're really getting the best of both words with RW Garcia, and the fact that they are healthier than other salty snacks is just a lucky bonus.

If you'd like to learn more about RW Garcia and all the delicious varieties they offer or to find a location near you that sells them, visit their website.  You can also find lots of tasty recipes. To keep up with new products and promotions, follow them on face book or pinterest.When it comes to snacking these chip are just way better. 

 

Great Gifts for the Football Enthusiast

If you want to get a smile out of that hard-to-buy-for football fan this year, give them a gift that they really want. Forget the typical toys and collectibles, foster their love of football with authentic, full size helmets. Every boy dreams of wearing his favorite team jersey and putting on NFL football helmets, before heading in for the big game. This is not something that many outgrow. There are many collectors that were once starry-eyed boys, dreaming of playing ball in the NFL.

Depending on the team that the recipient is most loyal to, it could prove challenging to find merchandise and authentic products in some regions. There are some great online resources and retailers that offer highly coveted items, at competitive prices. This makes it easy for prospective shoppers to plan ahead and look for the helmet or memorabilia of their loved one's favorite team.
This is the gift that a collector wants for their birthday gift or to find hidden under the holiday tree. These are the items that don't get returned to a store for another size or another item altogether. These helmets also merit the additional investment of a display case that will keep the helmet pristine and dust-free for the collector, as they exhibit it in their room or home.

Whether the individual is a tried-and-true Patriots fan, or perhaps they are a die-hard Chargers follower, a full-size authentic team helmet makes a great gift. There may be some offers of team-played merchandise or collectible versions, which may feature a player's autograph or other allure. Whatever the buyer's budget and preferences, a helmet is an excellent choice for a gift that will be appreciated, regardless of the occasion.

Another great option is a game-used ball. These are not widely available, and shoppers may find that they pay for the most enticing, intriguing products. That translates to popular teams and retired player memorabilia costing more than the less-in-demand merchandise. If the collector is a serious football aficionado, than they will keep the item until the value does increase, making an admirable addition to their current collection.
