Boost Superfruit Juices
Written by Lisa on November 17, 2008 – 10:53 pm -
Take a look at the juice you have in your house. What is the first ingredient on most of it? Most of the time, even if your juice is 100% natural without fillers, the first ingredients include corn syrup, propylene glycol, and artificial sweeteners. If that sounds like something you don’t want to be drinking, you should check out Boost Juice.
Boost Juice is made with Superfruits. Superfruits are called that because they have higher amounts of nutrients per serving than other fruits and vegetables. They contain vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, Polysaccharides as well as other trace minerals. There also is scientific evidence to indicate that Superfruit Juices can offer benefits thought to be associated with health supplements.
Boost Juice is 100% natural, contains no artificial flavor, sweeteners, stimulants, or preservatives. They are the only superfruit juice that have 100% of the daily of Vitamin C, 72 plant based trace minerals, up to 4 grams of protein, and the highest ORAC rating! The Boost Juice is available in 12 ounce recyclable glass bottles and is found in the refrigerated juice section in the produce section in your local grocery store.
There are four different flavors of Boost Juice, and they all taste great (I had a couple of taste testers help me with this review, and they loved it too! I did have one taste tester tell me that the Beauty Boost did taste more like tea than juice, and the Inner Boost was more fruity but still had a small tea flavor.). The first flavor is the Beauty Boost. It contains 10,000 mcg of Acai per bottle. This juice supports healthy skin, hair, nails, anti-aging, cardiovascular health, and digestive health. It also provides 100% of the daily allowance you need of Vitamin C, 600 mg of plant based trace minerals, plus 21 essential and non-essential amino acids. This helps our bodies to repair, rejuvenate, rebuild, and stay strong. Next, there is Happy Boost. This supports positive moods, healthy aging, eye health, healthy energy levels, and liver and kidney heath. It provides vitamins A, B, E, plus 100% of your daily allowance of Vitamin C. It also has 2 grams of protein, 600 mg of plant based trace minerals plus Solavetivone, Betaine, and Lycium Barbarum Ploysaccharides (LBPs 1 – 5). Next, there is Inner Boost. The juice supports natural cleaning, healthy digestion, healthy immune function, and healthy energy levels. It also provides Acubin, Alazarain, Asperuloside, Anthraquinone and Scopoletin which is suppose to help support circulatory health. You also get 100% of your daily allowance of vitamin C, 600 mg of plant based trace minerals, and 4 grams of protein. Lastly, there is Youth Boost. This supports healthy aging, joint health, healthy immune function, and cardiovascular health. It also provides 100% of your daily allowance of vitamin C, 600 mg of plant based trace minerals, 2 grams of protein, plus Xanthones.
If you are looking for a refreshment without the artificial ingredients found in other drinks, Boost Juice is what you want. It tastes great and is good for you.

The Popcorn Family
Written by Lisa on October 16, 2008 – 10:11 pm -
I love popcorn. It actually ranks up there for one of my favorite snacks of all time. I would have to say that my favorite kind of popcorn has to be caramel corn. Now, I don’t think I’ve ever given popcorn as a gift, but I have gotten it as a gift. As long as there is caramel corn in the tin, I am a happy camper.
If you are looking for a great holiday gift for the person who has everything, I recommend checking out The Popcorn Factory. They have gifts for every occasion — new baby, Sweetest Day, your favorite football team, your favorite baseball team, and snack for students — just to name a few. The designed tins they have are awesome. Since Halloween is just a couple weeks away, I thought I’d include a picture of a Halloween tin. They only use the highest quality ingredients — 100% corn oil, real butter, and genuine cheddar cheese. They have 18 different flavors, so there is definitely something for everyone. If you are not sure what flavor you would like, you can even order a sampler pack! Also, if you find a flavor you absolutely love, you can order refills too! If you are feeling especially adventurous, you can even get their flavor of the month.
If you are a popcorn fan or know someone who it is, go check out The Popcorn Family. I am getting hungry just looking at all this yummy popcorn.

Chicken Enchilada Tart
Written by Lisa on August 19, 2008 – 12:50 am -

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 cup frozen corn
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked and cubed (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded colby monterey jack cheese
1 can enchilada sauce
1 can Pillsbury refrigerated pizza crust
Heat over to 400 degrees F. Spray 15×10x1 inch pan (I used a cookie sheet) with cooking spray.
In a skillet, heat vegetable oil. Add in the onion and cook 2-3 minutes. Add the corn and cook 3-4 minutes. Stir in chicken and remove from heat. Stir in the sour cream and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Let this cool for about 5 minutes.
Unroll the pizza crust dough into the pan. Starting at the center, press dough into a 10 inch square. Spread about 2 tbsp of the enchilada sauce over the dough. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the sauce to within 2 inches of the edge. Then drizzle about 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce over the chicken mixture and sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese. Fold the edges of dough up over the filling and round the corners.
Bake about 20 - 25 minutes or until the crust is brown and filling is bubbly (I slightly overcooked mine — Even I mess up these easy to cook recipes sometimes! LOL) Let the tart stand for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remaining enchilada sauce.
To serve, top tart with chopped Roma tomatoes and shredded lettuce. Cut into wedges and serve with the warmed up enchilada sauce.

Four Foods On Friday 40
Written by Lisa on August 1, 2008 – 4:40 pm -Here are this week’s four questions. This week they’re about candy. If you want to join Val’s Meme, check it out here.
#1. Candy. Do you prefer sweet or sour candy? Sweet
#2. Gum. Love it? Hate it? What kind is your favorite? Love it. Anything that tastes like bubble gum, I like.
#3. What is your favorite candy? Its a tie between M&Ms and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
#4. Share a recipe for anything that you can include a piece of candy in.
Mini Pizza Cookies
1 20 oz tube of refrigerated sugar cookie dough
2 cups (16 oz) prepared pink frosting
M&Ms Chocolate Mini baking Bits
Variety of additional toppings such as shredded coconut, granola, raisins, candy, nuts, small pretzels, snack mixes, sunflower seeds, popped corn, and mini marshmellows
Preheat over to 350 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheets and set aside.
Divide dough into 8 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough into 1/4 inch thick circle. Place about 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake 10 - 13 minutes or until golden brown on edges. Cool completely on wire racks.
Spread top of each pizza with frosting. Sprinkle with M&M’s Chocolate Mini baking Bits and 2 or 3 of the suggested toppings.
This is a great easy to make recipe for kids too! They truly enjoy being able to decorate their own “pizza”
