You may remember a review I already did for Pizza Hut about their new Tuscani Pastas. Well now, they have a new flavor out and it is awesome! Say hello to Premium Bacon Mac ‘n Cheese!

I’m a huge macaroni and cheese fan so I new that the knew flavor of pasta at Pizza Hut was going to be right up my alley. Would you believe that I eat macaroni and cheese at least once a day. Yes the obsession is that deep. Oddly enough, I never thought of adding bacon to the macaroni and cheese but I must say that Pizza Hut is definitely onto something here. You can really taste the bacon without it compromising the mac ‘n cheese taste at all. This dish in one word is simply delicious!

Don’t believe me? How about you try it out for yourself….

But never fear all winners have been notified and should receiving their prizes soon. I will be having more contests soon after I get up and running at my new home.

I love smoothies from Smoothie King. Personally I don’t like smoothies with milk. I mean, I can drink them but really I just want a whole bunch of fruit if I can get it with no fillers. If you’ve ever seen my smoothie video you would know this to be true.

The smoothie I get time after time is the Banana Berry Treat. I like that there are so many options to choose from at the Smoothie King. If you want something for a snack you can get it or you want something to boost your diet you can get that as well. Smoothie King has something for everybody including the little kiddies with their kids kups.

One of my favorite options that Smoothie King offers are Enhancers. With Enhancers you can add a boost of whatever nutritional goal you would like to achieve. For example if you need more energy add an energy enchancer or you can add an antioxidant enhancer to protect your cells from free radical damage.

Now it is your turn to try out Smoothie King for free….

That is right folks, I am one of three judges of the new 2008 Twist n’ Crunch Recipe Contest. I am on the panel of judges that includes Rick Tarantino, a celebrity chef who has appeared on the Food Network, Good Morning America and the Today Show, along with Carol Blymire who writes French Laundry at Home.

I have been trying out the Cheese Sticks in my home over the last couple of days and trying to come up with some good recipes to share with you and to encourage you to create your own and enter for your own chance to win.

To submit your recipes you need to go to the Twist n’ Crunch contest page. Make sure you read all of the rules as well as follow them. You have until June 20, 2008 at 12pm to submit your recipe to be considered into the top 10. Once the top 10 is chosen they will be posted online to be voted on by you, the public. After a top 3 is selected, then the judging panel (which includes me) will test the recipes and come up with a finalist. Winners are announced on August 11, 2008.

Here are a few ideas that might get you started in the recipe creating mood…
-Provide a new twist to spinach and artichoke dip by replacing tortilla chips with CheeseSticks or CheeseCrisps.
-Add crunchy texture to macaroni and cheese by crumbling CheeseCrisps on top.
-Serve chili with CheeseSticks instead of crackers for a contrast that will send taste buds soaring. Serve them cold or heat them in the oven.
-Rather than breadcrumbs, use crushed CheeseSticks or CheeseCrisps to bread chicken.
-Create mini-pizzas by topping CheeseCrisps with tomato sauce and shredded cheese and your favorite veggie.

A Winner Has Been Chosen!
