A Healthier Choice

Thanks to Crowdtap and Healthy Choice, I recently tried Healthy Choice's new Baked Entrees.  They were delicious! We were provided a $1 off coupon (they normally retail about $2-$3).  I bought 3 varieties and took them with me to lunch this week. I'll apologize now, that I remembered to take pictures when I bought them, but forgot to take them once I made them. :oP

First up was the Lasagna with Meat Sauce.  I LOVE lasagna, but I didn't have high hopes for this one since most of the "healthy" lasagna meals are bland and boring.  I was pleasantly surprised by this one! The sauce was great! It was very flavorful and it was a nice portion size. It was enough to fill me up for lunch.  I will be buying this one again.

Next was the Fettuccini Alfredo Bake.  I will say this one was probably my least favorite if I had to pick one.  The sauce and noodles were pretty bland but the broccoli was surprisingly good. I left a lot of the noodles so I did have to supplement this meal with something else to fill me up for lunch.

Last was the Chicken & Rice Cheddar Bake.  I was iffy about this flavor when I bought it but I think it was probably my favorite! It had the great broccoli and the sauce was really good! It was a very filling meal too and was plenty for lunch. I will definitely be buying this one again!!

Overall I was very impressed with the Healthy Choice Baked line.  I've eaten the Healthy Choice brand for awhile now and have stuck with it because the meals are very flavorful and unique unlike many other "healthy" meals. The Baked line was up to these standards as well.  I will be adding these into my lunch options. 

Thank you Crowdtap and Healthy Choice!!

We're sexy and we know it....

Thanks (again) to Crowdtap and Old Navy, I was able to do another sample share and try out Old Navy's Active wear line!  I received coupons, one for me and one for a friend, for a free Active top and bottom. This could not have been better timing because my friend and I had just signed up for a 6 week body makeover class.  What better way to get pumped for it than buying new outfits and knowing we look great!

Here's some pictures from our shopping trip...
 

We both LOVED these tops.  It's funny because on these trips we always like to grab a few things that we wouldn't normally try and like to have some variety.  This is one that as we're walking out of the department to go try on, my friend says, "I'm going to grab one of these to try, but I don't really like it".  Of course, I said, "fine, I'll try the purple on".  Not only did we both like them, but I ended up choosing it for my sample share top and my friend bought hers separately because we liked them so much.  So goes the saying, don't knock it until you try it...

This is showing off the pants.  She liked the purple splash of color, but they were  really tight so she opted not to get them.

These tops were the very first item we picked up in the Active section.  They were super soft and really comfortable.  My friend ended up choosing this top for her sample share and I bought the black one extra. 

As for the pants we are sporting in these pictures, it was a mix.   I have the ones on with the purple band at the top in the first picture.  I wasn't a huge fan of the fit so I didn't get them.  The second and third pictures are a different material and had a "belly band" portion at the top.  I really liked the material and the extra support of the belly band and ended up getting these for my sample share.  My friend, who has dancer thighs (in her words), didn't like how restricting they were and put them back.

Finally, I went with a top that was much different than the others we tried.  I liked the material a lot, but i don't see myself in this one for a work out.  It was almost too cutesy for me.

And...drum roll please... our final choices were...

 

We both ended up buying a second jacket along with our sample share ones.  I bought the one she's wearing and she bought the one I'm wearing in black.  I am so grateful to Crowdtap and Old Navy for these opportunities and I love being able to escape for some much needed adult girl time.  Thanks again!
