7 New Study and Work Snack Products for Your Family to Try from the Love with Food Subscription Box

Each month, we enjoy receiving a red box in the mail filled with new goodies to try! I admit, this is usually my airline and road trip travel box as well. It always highlights a theme and additional links to discover the different new products available for purchase!

Why We Love "Love with Food"

Our busy family LOVES this list because it enables us to add new items to our Amazon Subscribe and Save Lists! Recently, we've discovered new popcorn and new dried cherries to add to our monthly list! Here's a neat coupon for 40% (yes that is quite a opportunity) for you and your millennial family!

Are You Interested in Your Own "Love with Food Box?

If you are interested in your VERY OWN "Love with Food" subscription box, click our affiliate link -Yes! I want my very own subscription box!

Through Love with Food, we are able to explore new products and introduce our little one to products from around the world! For example, here are the items from our most recent
Love with Food box!

This box featured a few amazing items! They are listed below!

Wild Garden Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus Garbanzo Bean Dip - I enjoyed this dip in a Go Picnic box from a few years ago. This was a great portable snack for me and I've search for this produce since my first protein packed experience. I love this product!

Sinfully Thin Blue Corn Popcorn - This low-calorie snack is nut free and contains NOTHING artificial! I love the portable packaging and I love the taste!

Snack Factory Original Deli Style Pretzels - I love eating these pretzels with hummus. They are a delectable treat for my little one as well!

Biscottea Shortbread - Yes! These traditional teatime treats are great for an "end of the week" treat for you or your little one. In fact, you can also have a mini tea parties on rainy weekends!

Snapz Crunchy Premium Apple Crisps - Oh goodness! These are amazing and I also ordered some apple crisps through a recurring subscribe and save order. These are wonderful after school snacks!

Here are some additional snacks for this month's box!

The theme of the box was "Love is Learning" and it is true. These are all "brain food" snacks for you or your little one. It would be great to also incorporate letter recognition or state recognition focused on the state in which the snack was manufactured.

Have a great week and plan for the weekend!

Cici's Pizza - Why Our Family Loves a Healthy, Hearty, Fun, & Affordable Alternative to the Everyday Meal

As a millennial family, we are always searching for neat ways to have fun on a budget! We were very excited to see Cici's Pizza arrive back in Hood County. When my husband and I first moved to Central Texas, we had a Cici's Pizza in our town and we loved going to Cici's Pizza for a quick bite to eat after work.

It seemed that there were other plans in store for the restaurant and the older location closed. We know that there were surprises in store for our growing town and its population. Then, we read a news article in the Hood County news that informed the county that we would receive a Cici's Pizza in the Summer of 2016.

This was welcome news for our family, because our little one never experienced a Cici's Pizza's before this experience! We were there on one of the first days that the restaurant opened. On these days, the newest customers experiences lines that extended outside of the door.

The food was great! Wonderful salad, great pasta, amazing pizza, and our family's favorite...desserts! Great experience and the staff was wonderful as well!

We paid for our meal and we enjoyed the rest of the day! Thank you Cici's Pizza! Thank you for coming back to Hood County! Our family's summer and fall seasons are now complete, because this millennial mom and dad do not have to struggle with the next day's meal plans. Now, we have Cici's Pizza - a healthy, hearty, fun alternative to the everyday meal!

Have a great week and plan for the weekend!

Begin Your After School Conversations with Plum Mash-Ups! & A Back to School Giveaway!

We hope you are having a great week!

As we begin our journey to the beginning of the fall semester of school, I worry about key items that I need to have in my car at the end of each day to guide my conversation with my little one as we commute home.

Our commute usually includes pretzels or chips, but I found a new healthier addition to our preschool commute conversations. Our new conversation staple will include apple sauce, fruits, and vegetables! Sounds too good to be true? All of these can be accomplished with Plum Mashups!

We received four Organic Plum Mash-ups to review from BzzAgent! include the following flavors: Beetbox Berry, Berry, Blueberry Blitz, and Carroty Chop!

Beetbox Blitz - This flavor only has 50 calories, 5 mg of sodium, 105 mg of potassium, 13 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!

Berry - This flavor only has 45 calories, 100 mg of potassium, 12 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!

Blueberry Blitz - This flavor only has 50 calories, 10 mg of sodium, 105 mg of potassium, 13 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!

Carroty Chop - This flavor only has 50 calories, 5 mg of sodium, 115 mg of potassium, 13 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!

We loved Plum foods when my little one transitioned to food as a baby and we've been incorporating new Plum foods for the past few years as snack foods! Now, these are amazing! Our favorite one as the Blue Berry Blitz flavor!

This week, I will mail two of these coupons and a back to school pack to TWO READERS! Write a comment in the box below with the flavor that you are most interested in trying for a back to school conversation. This contest ends on Friday, August 19th at midnight.

Have a great week and plan for the weekend!
