RUSSELL MADNESS tells the story of Russell, an undersized but big-hearted terrier who dreams of having a family of his own. After running away from his pet store, Russell gets taken in by The Ferraros, a family desperate to revive their grandfather’s pro wrestling arena. That’s when they discover their new pet pooch has incredible wrestling skills. With help from his coach, Hunk, a savvy and hilarious monkey, Russell rockets to the top of the pro wrestling world and becomes a famous sports superstar. But when a dishonest promoter double-crosses the Ferraros, Russell will face his biggest challenge and discover that the strongest tag team is family.

We had a family viewing party with this movie, and even though everyone was sick we still had a great time. When the movie first started I was a bit disappointed it seemed like a boring movie. I was so wrong, the movie was really good and even had a great ending. It is definitely a family movie to watch with your kids.

Dsclosure: A gift card was received to facilitate this review.

Ihop is introducing another great addition to their breakfast Menu. IHops New Criss Croissants. Breakfast lovers the world over have long enjoyed the unique taste and texture of the classic French croissant—that delicate, buttery flaky pastry that practically melts in your mouth. Now, IHOP restaurants will introduce guests to a brand new way to savor that treat—by taking that distinctive dough and baking it in a waffle iron so that you have the luscious taste of a croissant with the distinctive criss-crossing of the waffle iron pattern, and voila! Criss-Croissants!

Criss Croissants are available in these flavors:

Blackberry Lemonade: A warm waffled croissant filled with refreshing lemonade cream and topped with sweet blackberries.

Strawberry Rhubarb: A warm waffled croissant filled with perfectly sweetened cream cheese, and crowned with a strawberry rhubarb topping.

I was able to try the Strawberry Rhubarb and pleasantly surprised at how sweet it is. It’s very delicious, my daughter also ordered it and it was the fastest I have ever seen her eat at a restaurant. She said it’s a bent waffle with cream and strawberries. Every girls perfect breakfast. She was literally trying to lick the plate clean.

I love being able to find sweet things that my son and husband can eat. It can be so hard though as they have a lactose allergy and most foods have dairy in them, specially sweet foods.

Bearitos new Cinnamon Sugar and Fair Trade Cocoa Pita chips are the perfect Wholesome snack. Made with non-GMO ingredients and available exclusively at Whole Foods, you’ll feel good about enjoying these treats with your special someone as you get all the sweet & crunch in one bite.

They are both Dairy Free which is a plus to us. My husband and son loved them. I introduce them to my family and then left for a appt. Came back and the bag was gone. I only got one out of the whole bag and didn’t even get to take a picture of the actual chips.

We only tried the Cinnamon Sugar Pita chips but they were very sweet and my son said they kind of tasted like a cereal he loves.

Bearitos Limited edition Cinnamon Sugar and Fair Trade Cocoa Pita chips are available only at Whole Foods.

Have you seen these in stores?

Disclosure: A gift card was received to facilitate this review.

Panera Bread is one of my favorite places to grab a quick bite to eat on my Lunch break. They have everything from sandwiches, salads, desserts, soups and so much more.

The Asian-inspired Broth Bowls combine exotic and delicious ingredients — like quinoa, kale and chicken raised without antibiotics — to create filling bowls full of global flavors and fresh greens, all steeped in umami soy-miso broth. The new Broth Bowls allow guests to awaken their appetites for adventurous eating while also enjoying familiar options.

The new Broth Bowls include
Soba Noodle Bowl with Chicken
Soba Noodle Bowl with Edamame
Lentil Quinoa Bowl with Chicken
Lentil Quinoa Bowl with Cage-Free Egg

It has been the coldest on record in 20 years here in NY and having the option to get a meal that is hot and you can take with you is great. I tried the Soba Noodle with Chicken bowl and it was very good. I am not a fan of the long noodles, but it was still very tasty and piping hot.
The bowl looked very small so I opted to get 2 for 1 deal where you buy a Broth Bowl and get 1/2 a sandwich for a few dollars more. I couldn’t even get to the sandwich the bowl was so filling and was bigger than it actually looked.
