 Betty Crocker sent me a prize package give away which included Create-A-Bug Fruit Flavor Shapes, Fruit Roll-Ups, Fruit By The Foot, a frisbee, pic up sticks and a light up yo-yo. I have to admit I have turned away other offers for “fruit” snacks because they haven’t been organic, but I cut Betty Crocker some […] The New York Times’ article “In Reversal, U.S. Guidlines Urge Mammograms at 50, not 40” explains how the new recommendations reverse long standing recommendation for routine, yearly mammograms at 40. If you read the complex Journal article “Effects of Mammography Screening Under Different Screening Schedules: Model Estimates of Potential Benefits and Harms” you will get […]  Getting your kids to eat a fresh, whole food with each meal or snack isn’t easy. These days, it’s constant work to make sure children get a balanced diet. I have found a little creativity works better than nagging and pleading. Instead of asking if anyone wants apples, I put some apple stackers on a […]
 I made these mini cakes with a cupcake mix that I made with too much lemon juice, which caused the “cupcakes” to be too dense–they didn’t rise. But since they tasted okay, I layered them with some lemon frosting and decorated them like mini cakes with a basketweave pattern and ruffles around the edge. They […] loading

Tamara (sweaver006@tx.rr.com) - December 2nd maybe?? : ) If it helps, I feel like it should still be October. Loved your post, as always. We do a little junk food too…makes me cringe, but they are kids after all. So, this give away would be fun. But I totally agree, I'd buy much more of this type of product if it didn't have the dye!
Stephanie - With you on the dye issue but the kids still want it in their lunchbox

Terri L - My kids love these

Michele - Thank you for the giveaway. I think that ths would be a fun snack to try. I'm not sure about the DYE but, if they brushed right away it shouldn't be too bad.

jennem - I find the dye a little scary as well…but as an occasional treat, it's ok I guess.
Jennifer, jennem22 at yahoo dot com
Kimberly L - I'm not sure if I like the bright blue tongue factor either.

Lisa Fielding - The other issue with the chewy fruit snacks is that they stick to the teeth and can cause cavities. My dentist told my son to stay away from any kind of fruit snacks for dried fruit when he developed a cavity at age five!
checkers - Nothing like getting a blue tongue so I'm all for this, thanks.

Barbarawr - Reading your post about the dyes reminded me of the year I took Wilton Cake Decorating classes when the kids were little. I was so proud of the Christmas trees I made out of ice cream cones and GREEN frosting. Well… a day later, I hear a terrified scream from the bathroom and my daughter made me come up and look in the toilet. Needless to say, no more green Wilton dye in anything my kids eat!
