Take the Megafood Close the Nutritional Gap Pledge and Get a $5.00 Coupon!

Monday, February 6th, 2017

multiwomenWhere did January go? It seems that 2017 just started yesterday, yet a whole month has come and gone! Along with the month of January being bye-bye-bye, I’ve also found that a few of my resolutions to get healthy have also slipped between my fingers and disappeared within the last 30 days.

If you’re in the same boat as me, have no fear! MegaFood is here to help both you and me (Plus…others in need too… just read on!)

If you’re not familiar with Megafood here is a quick synopsis…

Megafood was founded in 1973 in Derry, New Hampshire with the promise to produce the highest quality supplements. Fast-forward 44 years later and Megafood has surpassed their promise and is a leading provider of high-quality, top-notch supplements. They produce vitamins, probiotics, minerals and Booster Powders.

And best of all, of the Megafood products are free of gluten, dairy and soy and are also non-GMO.

My favorite Megafood product is the Multivitamin.  I love that they make specific multivitamins for women of all ages, men of all ages, pregnant gals, and kids. I feel confident taking Megafood products because I am assured they are gluten-free and have the highest standards and ingredients. megafood 1

When I heard about Megafood’s mission to Close the Nutritional Gap and get people (like me!) on the right track, spread the word to all of you and also help those in need, I was thrilled to find out more.

Megafood’s Close the Nutritional Gap promotion is brilliant. It works by “pledging” to close your nutritional gap by taking a MegaFood MultiVitamin, and signing up for the Pledge. The first 20,000 pledgers receive a $5 off coupon and all will be entered for a chance to win a year’s supply of Multis and some awesome wellness giveaways just for pledging. MegaFood will then donate 1 bottle of Multis for every pledge (up to 20,000) to someone in need. Plus, they will make a donation to Wholesome Wave, equivalent to 2 servings of fresh fruits & veggies per pledge for those in needs.

Signed up for the pledge is easy… and getting the $5.00 coupon for any Megafood MultiVitamin is just a “Hit Print” button away!

I pledged… and I hope you will too! Let me know if you joined me in this awesome promotion of helping yourself, and others, Close the Nutritional Gap!

Friday Favorite: Tate’s Bake Shop Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Thursday, July 23rd, 2015

I had lunch with my God Mother last week which was a special treat.  I haven’t seen her for years, but we started exactly where we left off, chatting and gabbing hours away about everything and anything.

But her presence wasn’t the only treat of the day. She brought along a gift of Tate’s Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies for me.

For those of you that haven’t tried these cookies yet, you must. These thin, crunchy cookies taste like homemade.  Eating just one is almost impossible. They are just that good!

And best yet Tate’s has more varieties of gluten-free baked goods that I can’t wait to try including,  double chocolate cookies, ginger zinger cookies, and gluten free brownies. All of Tate’s Bake Shop gluten free items are produced in a dedicated gluten free facility and are certified by the Celiac Sprue Association.

Thanks to my wonderful God Mother, Kay, I was bale to discover Tate’s Bake Shop’s gluten-free cookies! All of these wonderful reasons are why this week’s Friday Favorite is awarded to Tate’s Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies! Congratulations!

Friday Favorite: Eat Well Embrace Life Hummus

This week’s Friday Favorite is now one of my favorite mid-day snacks. The Eat Well Embrace Life hummus’ gives my carrot & celery sticks a dip with an extra little kick!

I love all of the Eat Well Embrace Life Hummus’ since they are a healthy and low-calorie. Plus they are flavorful and zesty… not bland and boring.

Some of my favorites include the Sweet & Spicy Black Bean, Spicy Yellow Lentil with Sunflower Seeds, Tuscan White Bean with Roasted Pine Nuts and the Zesty Sriracha Carrot Hummus. But make sure you check out ALL of the delicious flavors for yourself… and the great recipe ideas on the Eat Well Embrace Life website.

Friday Favorite: Love Beets

Thursday, April 23rd, 2015

I’ve recently revisited one of my favorite veggies from when I was younger, and I can’t get enough of them! BEETS!

Yes, BEETS! But the only problem is I hate the “tin can” taste of beets from a can. That is why I was so super excited to find Love Beets – Cooked beets that are ready for anything.

When I was younger my Mom would serve them up heated, as a side dish. But recently I’ve discovered that beets are ready for anything and can be enjoyed in many more ways than I could imagine.

Beets are great chopped on salads (my favorite salad to add them to is a Cobb Salad), or sliced and sprinkled with a touch of champagne vinegar and kosher salt. I also love the recipes that are featured on the Love Beets website, like this Grilled Cheese with Beets & Basil Aoili or Quinoa Beet Burrito Bowls with Cumin-Lime Tahini Dressing.

Love Beets are all natural, gluten-free (note that all of the the Love Beets  are gluten-free with the exception of one variety of the Baby Beets… the Honey & Ginger), contain no preservatives, and are Non-GMO. The Cooked Beets come in a 8.8 ounce packages packed with larger beets that are great for slicing or a 6.5 ounce size of baby beets which are perfect for snacking. I however, buy my Love Beets at BJ’s Wholesale Clubs that have a club-sized packages that are perfect for satisfying my new-found and obsessive love for beets. =) If you want to find where you can find Love Beets near you, check out this link.

All of these reasons are why I am so very grateful I have re-found and re-fallen back in love with Beets. Congrats Love Beets on being this week’s Friday Favorite on BeFreeForMe.com!

Friday Favorite: Lance’s Gluten-Free Cheddar Cheese and Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers

Thursday, April 16th, 2015

I loved Sandwich crackers as a kid! And if you’re like me and missing peanut butter or cheddar cheese cracker sandwiches, check out this brand-spankin’ new and innovative product from Lance! (Please note that these gluten-free sandwich crackers are so new they are not even listed on the gluten-free product list on the Lance website.)

These bite-sized snacks are certified gluten-free and egg-free.  And only 150 calories per bag =)

Both flavors are delicious. Nestled between two crisply and buttery gluten-free crackers is either real peanut butter or real cheddar cheese.

For all these scrumptious reasons, this week’s Friday Favorite is awarded to Lance for their innovation and commitment to making some great gluten-free snacks. Big cheers for Lance for introducing the first ever Gluten-free sandwiches crackers!

Friday Favorite: DeLallo Gluten-Free Orzo

Thursday, March 19th, 2015

Yup! You heard it right Gluten-Free ORZO! One of things I’ve missed the most since eating gluten-free is Orzo… those tiny little pastas that are excellent in cold salads, soups and stuffed peppers.

I discovered DeLallo Gluten-Free Orzo (and their yummy other gluten-free pastas) at the ExpoWest trade show that I visited in Los Angeles this month.

The DeLallo gluten-free pasta is made with the “the finest raw ingredients sourced from Northern Italy”. They also take special care to make sure the gluten-free pasta, which is a blend of corn and rice, is milled for  full-flavor and the perfect “al dente” bite, that we all know can be so hard to achieve with many other gluten-free pastas.

One of my favorite recipes to make with Orzo is this Olive & Feta Orzo Salad. It is perfect for the first day of Spring!

All of these reasons are why I am so happy to announce DeLallo Gluten-Free Pasta as this week’s Friday Favorite on BeFreeForMe.com. Congratulations!

Friday Favorite: Self Healthy Kitchen Grilled Drunken Chicken Frozen Meal

Thursday, March 5th, 2015

I was thrilled this past week when I found a new gluten-free frozen meal in my conventional grocers frozen case… and it taste good too!

Self Healthy Kitchen frozen meals are developed by Self Magazine whose mission is to help people live a healthy, happy life.

All the varieties of Self Healthy Kitchen are not gluten-free, but the one variety that is gluten-free is the Grilled Drunken Chicken, a dish consisting of grilled chicken topped in a sweet tequila sauce with brown rice blended with kale, cherries and pumpkin seeds. Delicious!
