What’s Coming Out of Denny’s Diners HQ & Test Kitchen #DennysDiners

September 19, 2014 by Momstart 12 Comments

I had a great time at #DennysDiners HQ and Test Kitchen. They know how to cook and make delicious treats all year around. Did you know that they actually make changes to the menu every quarter and some of those changes include Holiday Features? YUM too. And sadly that’s all I can tell you about what’s coming up for this Holiday Season, It’s Good! SO keep an eye out for the new menu in October.

But rest assured there are still some really great items that you might not know are on the menu right now. I tried them when I was invited to the Denny’s Diners HQ and Test Kitchen last month with my other ambassador friends.

I have to say that I think I must have been living under a rock because I had no idea that Denny’s was making these delicious things called pancake puppies. I had some while I was in SC with Denny’s and vow that next time I take my family there I’m ordering some as an appetizer for the whole family to enjoy. It’s like having donuts they are so good. image

And I also tried The New Chicken Salad Sandwich and I loved it. I was really trying to only take a few bites out of everything because we were trying so many items on the menu, this I wanted to finish. It’s roasted seasoned chicken, celery, red grapes, toasted almonds and mayo. You can have it served with your choice of wavy-cut French fries, hash browns, seasonal fruit or dippable veggies. 

 

Another item I can share with you is the Wild Caught Salmon and it was surprisingly really good. Fish is a tricky thing to cook and have the flavors come out and Denny’s accomplished it. Look at it, doesn’t it just make you want to dig right in?

 

I did finish the salmon!

Want to know what I learned about the brand?

Denny’s really wants to make their customers happy and remember that they are more than just a after 2:00 AM place to eat. They are an all day diner fit for families with a very versatile menu. They have a rewards program and kids eat free. For every 1 adult meal two kids can eat free on Tuesday’s from 4PM to 10PM. They understand the importance of children’s health by offering healthy options and are part of Kids Live Well AND as you know they support No Kids Hungry a charity I’m very fond of.

 

They also have a rewards program, a birthday grand slam, and special discounts for seniors.  So plan a trip to Denny’s and try their menu, see their specials and go often so you don’t miss any of the changes that might pop up. You’ll love what’s coming for the holidays!

Wild Ophelia Chocolate: Connecting American Farmers with Chocolate Taste Testing

October 18, 2013 by Momstart Leave a Comment

I’m a Wild Ophelia Chocolate Ambassador and receive samples.

I’ve tried the Peanut Butter Banana

 

this is a great tasting chocolate bar, the peanut butter mixes quite well with the bananas in the bar

I’ve tried the New Orleans Chili

this is another great flavor, the chili is slow to come out in your taste buds but it does emerge as your already enjoying the dark chocolate bar

I’ve tried the Southern Hibiscus Peach

 

this is not my favorite flavor, I do like the taste of the chocolate and the peach, but the hibiscus didn’t do it for me

I’ve tried the Beef Jerky

 

my favorite flavor by far is the Wild Ophelia Beef Jerky chocolate. YUM

About Wild Ophelia:

Wild Ophelia is a uniquely American brand featuring all-natural and often organic ingredients sourced from small farms and food artisans. Their chocolate bars tell an American story, and bridge the divide between the local, American farmer’s movement and chocolate. Flavor combinations, such as BBQ Potato Chips, Beef Jerky and Peanut Butter Banana are unexpected, yet approachable. I’m willing to try every flavor and I can’t wait to get my hands on a BBQ Potato Chips bar. I’m going to head on over to Walgreens to see if I can find it because I’m too impatient to wait for them to send it to me.

Wild Ophelia is the latest creation from Katrina Markoff, founder of Vosges Haut-Chocolat and recognized "chocolate revolutionary". Markoff is widely credited with igniting the chocolate industry with innovation by fusing high-quality chocolate and exotic ingredients (such as curry and bacon) in avant-garde ways. She launched Wild Ophelia to bring unconventional chocolate creations mainstream and Americanize the local chocolate aisle. Curry, now that’s another flavor I’m looking forward to trying.

On the back of each chocolate bar, you’ll find the story and origin of each ingredient. All Wild Ophelia products are made with 100% renewable energy and packaged in 100% recycled board.

Taste Test: The New Hormel REV Wraps #HormelFamily

July 22, 2013 by Momstart Leave a Comment

Just in time for back to school lunches and after school snacks, Hormel Foods is launching a brand new product: Hormel® REV® wraps. Hormel® REV® wraps are the perfect way to satisfy hunger because they’re ready to go with you wherever life takes you. I received samples because I’m part of the Hormel Foods Extended Family Blogger Program. I also just shared the Hormel Rev Infographic with you. This infographic shows just how protein-rich food can provide you with real sustaining energy and How Rev can provide you with that energy. Here is a video of my taste test:

 

 

I really like the flavor combinations in the peppered turkey and the Italian herb wrap. Not only am I getting protein with low calories but also great taste and satisfaction.

imageHormel® REV® wraps have many benefits to your everyday life including:
 Endurance: protein-rich to provide real sustaining energy
 Nutrition: made with real meat and cheese, an excellent source of protein and a good source of calcium and fiber
 Convenience: no preparation necessary, eaten hot or cold and designed to be hand-held and portable; and
 Flavorful: classic deli combinations geared towards teens, as well as new, bold flavors for variety

 

The new wraps are available in eight delicious varieties including:
Ham and Cheese – ham, cheddar cheese & soft white wrap
Pepperoni Pizza – pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese & soft white wrap
Peppered Turkey – peppered turkey, mozzarella cheese, Italian herb wrap
Meat Lovers Pizza – pepperoni, spicy salami, Genoa salami, mozzarella cheese & soft white wrap
Italian Style Ham – smoked ham, mozzarella cheese & Italian herb wrap
Hot Pepper Ham – ham, hot pepper cheese & soft white wrap
Italian Style – pepperoni, Genoa salami, mozzarella cheese, Italian herb wrap
Spicy Italian Style – spicy salami, mozzarella cheese & Italian herb wrap
