Justin’s Nut Butter

We are total peanut butter junkies at our house.   We make sandwiches with it, put it on ice cream, eat it with apples,  add it to recipes, and sometimes we even eat it directly from the jar with a spoon! {I can’t believe I’m admitting this!}  Last year, I decided I would try some healthier peanut butters and was so disappointed with the sand paper texture and taste.  After trying a few different brands, I went back to my not-so-healthy, but oh-so-tasty variety.  I was recently introduced to a peanut butter that is both healthy and tasty:  Justin’s Nut Butter.

We tried  Justin’s Organic Honey Peanut Butter Squeeze Packs and we all loved them!  The taste was delicious.  The honey added just the right touch of sweetness.  Also, the squeeze packs are so convenient for a family on the run like ours.  They’re great to take to ball games or on car trips.  And they’re made with all natural ingredients like Organic Dry Roasted Peanuts, Honey Powder (Sugar, Honey), Organic Palm Fruit Oil, Sea Salt.

Justin’s also comes in these other delicious flavors:

  • Chocolate Almond
  • Chocolate Peanut
  • Chocolate Hazelnut
  • Honey Almond
  • Classic Almond
  • Classic Peanut
  • Maple Almond

Although I want to try them all, I’m really looking forward to the Chocolate Almond Butter, the Chocolate Peanut Butter, and the Maple Almond Butter.

You can find Justin’s Nut Butter both online and in stores like Whole Foods.  The 10-pack Squeeze Packs of Justin’s Organic Honey Peanut Butter for $5.99/pack (prices vary based on flavor).  You can also connect with them on Facebook or Twitter.

Disclosure:  A 10-pack of Justin’s Organic Honey Peanut Butter was provided to me free of charge by Justin’s Nut Butter in conjunction with Mama Buzz.  All opinions expressed were my own!

Tomorrow is a New Day!

Today has been one of those days.  The mechanic took 6 hours on my car instead of 4.  My doctor’s appointment was over 2 hours long (plus I got 5 injections in my neck).  To top it all off, when I got home from picking up my daughter this afternoon, my husband informed me that someone had left the freezer door open and everything was starting to thaw.  I spent the evening dealing with the freezer issue and should be back & posting tomorrow!

Good Earth Dinner Kit {Review & Giveaway} CLOSED

The past 3 months have been the busiest 3 months of my life.  I feel like I’m never home!  I leave for the gym at 5:15 in the morning, go straight to work, and often I’m home for less than an hour before heading out to the ballfield with my kids.  I feel like I’ve been cooking non-impressive meals for weeks on end!  I was so excited when I was offered the chance to try one of Good Earth’s Dry Dinner Kits.  All of their dinner kits are 100% whole grain and contain no trans fat, no artificial flavors, no artificial preservatives, and no MSG. I love the idea of boxed dinner kits that allow you to keep a healthy lifestyle without sacrificing taste!

I received the Mediterranean Chicken Dinner kit along with the gift pack shown above.  I wasn’t sure how my hubby and kids would feel about it since they don’t necessarily like to try new things.  While I was cooking, my daughter came downstairs to see what smelled so good.  That’s always a good sign!  Dinner took less than 30 minutes to make and it was incredible!  I felt like a regular chef when I put this one the table!

You too can make a sophisticated, restaurant-quality meal at home!  Good Earth Dry Dinner Kits are coming to stores this month.  They offer four delectable meals to choose from: Mediterranean Chicken with angel hair pasta, Spicy Citrus Glazed Shrimp with angel hair pasta, Herb Crusted Chicken with mushroom risotto and Tuscan Chicken with penne pasta.  (I’m really looking forward to trying the Herb Crusted Chicken with mushroom risotto!)

Good Earth and MyBlogSpark have offered to give one reader of Simplified Saving a gift pack that includes a Good Earth Mediterranean Chicken dry dinner kit, two sets of bamboo flatware, two bamboo dishes, a bamboo utility board and a 100% recyclable grocery tote.

Giveaway: One reader of Simplified Saving will receive a Good Earth gift pack that includes the following:

  • Good Earth Mediterranean Chicken dry dinner kit
  • two sets of bamboo flatware

Happy Father’s Day

I have an amazing dad! He’s smart, funny, godly, and extremely good at all things trivia related!  Since I don’t get to spend Father’s Day with him this year, I thought I’d give him a shout-out online!  Happy Father’s Day Dad!  I love you!

I’ve also been blessed with a great husband who is an incredible dad! He’s godly, patient, funny, and he regularly embarrasses our kids (which I think is an important part of parenting)!  I am looking forward to spending the day together as a family and celebrating my wonderful husband!

I hope all of you enjoy your Father’s Day and that you get some quality time in with your dads!

Although I list deals around the country, when it comes to Groupon, I tend to focus on the ones in Fort Wayne first (probably because I get to enjoy and take advantage of them!)  Don’t worry, this won’t always be the case, just on the days where Fort Wayne Groupon doesn’t have something I really want!  Ok…on to the deals!

Don’t fret if you don’t live in one of the cities I’ve listed above.  There are plenty of other great Groupon deals in other cities as well!  Make sure to check them out.

Not familiar with Groupon? Here’s the 411…straight from the horse’s mouth!

What is Groupon?

Each day, Groupon features an unbeatable deal on the best stuff to do, see, eat, and buy in your city. By promising businesses a minimum number of customers, we get discounts you won’t find anywhere else. We call it “collective buying power!”

I like today’s deal – how do I get it?

Just click “BUY” before the offer ends at midnight. If the minimum number of people sign up, we’ll charge your card and send you a link to print your Groupon. If not enough people join, no one gets it (and you won’t be charged), so invite your friends to make sure you get the deal!

What happens if the Groupon doesn’t reach its required minimum number of purchasers?

If not enough people sign up, then the deal is canceled, and you won’t be charged. Better luck next time! So if you really want the Groupon, be sure to either beg or threaten your friends .

Do I need to use my Groupon the same day I buy it?

No. Many Groupons have an expiration date, but you never have to use them on the date of purchase.

I bought a Groupon – how do I use it?

Once you’re charged, you’ll receive an email with a link to sign in and print your Groupon. The Groupon has redemption instructions and a map right on it!

Can I buy a Groupon as a gift for someone else?

Yes. We communicate with all the businesses that we work with that Groupons can be gifted, and unless the Fine Print specifically states otherwise, gift away! To have us send them the gift, select the gift option at checkout.
