My Interview with the Jimmy Dean Sun – Watch And Support No Kid Hungry

By: Ashley

This weekend at BlogHer 2012, I had the chance to be interviewed by one of the brightest guys I’ve ever met. I mean, who’s brighter than the sun?!? It was such a pleasure to talk with the warm and friendly Jimmy Dean Sun… and luckily I have a video to share with you! Just by viewing, you’ll be working to end childhood hunger. For every view, Jimmy Dean will donate $5 to to Share Our Strength in support of the No Kid Hungry campaign. So please… take a look… and share with your friends.

 

Together with Share Our Strength, the Jimmy Dean® brand has joined the No Kid Hungry® Campaign, working to end childhood hunger in America by 2015. For every view this video receives now through August 18, 2012, Jimmy Dean will donate $5 to Share Our Strength (up to $5,000). This is in addition to the brand’s annual commitment of $150,000.

At BlogHer 2010 I met with Jimmy Dean’s The Sun. The sun is a big golden light that all the planets revolve around and he has all kinds of information and knowledge about breakfast. The Sun commercials are quite humorous and when I tell people that I met the sun, they laugh! Not because it is a crazy thought that I met The Jimmy Dean Sun, but because internally they are remembering one of those commercials.

 

 

I had a lot of fun talking to the Sun, we chatted for about 30 minutes while the camera men were getting set up. I was most intrigued by the fact that he lived in Washington State for a period of time.

At BlogHer everyone had the opportunity to taste new Jimmy D’s breakfast foods. We were some of the first people to ever try them. They are lower in calories than you would expect any out of the box, into the microwave breakfasts could possible be.

griddlesticksThe New Jimmy D’s Griddle Sticks:

These have 7 grams of protein, 8 grams of sugar and only 6 grams of fat. They are sausage wrapped up in a pancake with only 160 calories.

The New Jimmy D’s French Toast Griddlers:

Toast GriddlerThese have 8 grams of protein, 6 grams of sugar and 8 grams of fat. They are french toast sandwiches with turkey sausage in the middle with only 210 calories. Remember that the sandwiches are bigger in size than the griddle sticks.

I tried both of these at blogher, and when I didn’t know how many calories were in them, all I did was have a bite. I was very worried about over eating while I was at the conference so I had a little bit here and a little bit there. I could have easily gotten away with eating the whole thing. After trying both samples, if I had to pick a favorite it would be the Griddle Sticks.
