Hormel is launching their new Rev Wraps, a delicious wrap that is perfect for lunch or snack. They are the perfect way to satisfy hunger because they’re ready to go with you wherever life takes you.

The benefits of Hormel Rev are:

• Endurance: protein-rich to provide energy
• Nutrition: made with real meat and cheese, an excellent source of protein and a good source of calcium and fiber.
• Convenience: no preparation necessary, eaten hot or cold and designed to be hand held and portable.
• Flavorful:  classic deli combinations geared towards teens, as well as new, bold flavors for variety.

 

The wraps come in eight different varieties:

• Ham and Cheese
• Pepperoni Pizza
• Peppered Turkey
• Meat Lovers Pizza
• Italian Style Ham
• Hot Peppered Ham
• Italian Style
• Spicy Italian Style

** These wraps are perfect for everything, school lunches, snacks, and picnics. They are just the right size to fit in lunch boxes. We got to try all eight varities and loved them all.   My kids loved them and they were so easy because I didn’t have to do anything.   My favorites are the pizza flavors. It’s like eating cold pizza!

The cons: They are a bit small

These are available at retailers now at a price of $1.99-$2.29.

Did you know that Hormel owns tons of different brands?  They do! including brands that are perfect for Cinco De Mayo, like Chi Chi’s, La Victoria, and more.   I typically do not celebrate Cinco De Mayo, but I am trying to teach my kids about different cultures and traditions.

So this year I decided to have my own little celebration. I know it’s not really authentic, but I tried.

W made chicken and beef taco’s with ChiChi’s tortillas, Chi Chi’s Chips, La Victoria Salsa.

I am not the best cook and i hate shredding chicken for taco’s so i just used Hormel’s chicken in a can.

We also had beef taco’s refried beans and of course chips and salsa.

How did you celebrate Cinco De Mayo?

This is my favorite time of year, well sometimes. Just depends on if the snow goes away. LOL! This year April has been very nice, plus Earth Day is in April. I love Earth day.

We celebrated by having a picnic and cleaning up the park and the streets around out house.

I used my new reusable bag, which I love for outing and picnics.

I love to picnic and my kids love to do it too. Our sandwiches were all Hormel’s Natural choice Turkey and Ham. I love that the packaging is made 100% from recycled materials. Our picnic was all Earth friendly, sandwiches were packed in reusable containers, we had reusable water bottles and recyclable juice boxes.

April 22nd marks the 43rd anniversary of the celebration of Earth Day! This year, the Earth Day Network announced that the main focus of Earth Day will be to help put a face to climate change. One of the easiest ways to help prevent climate change is through a commitment to minimizing waste and recycling as much as possible. In order to make Earth Day a success, it is essential that each and every person set environmental goals, contribute and do their part.

What efforts do you and your family make to try and minimize your carbon footprint? What is your favorite “eco-friendly” activity?

Yes, I know St. Patricks Day has come and gone, but being Irish the food is alway here to stay!!  Although most people go for the traditional corned beef and cabbage on St. Patricks Day, I don’t.   We do a a family breakfast every year, we have eggs, toast and Hash.

Life can get so stressful at times that cooking the hash just isn’t possible and we always look for the easy way out. Luckily Hormel brand Mary Kitchen has Corned Beef Hash in a can for those easy recipes. It is actually quite good  in certain recipes.

Our St. Patricks Day breakfast turned out great.

 

The hash mixed in with a cheese omelet and bacon was so very good. I love our breakfast tradition.

Growing up I never really celebrated Valentines day, it was always a bad time in my family.  Now that I am older, I celebrate it but don’t really make that big of a deal about it. Usually we just have a nice family dinner, or go out to eat as a family.   This  year unfortunately my husband had some business dinners to attend. (Yeah, I know on Valentines day of all days). So it was just me and the kids for Valentines day dinner.

So, since I don’t have a nice romantic dinner to share, I will share my idea of a typical Valentines Day for me.

 

The table would be set nice.

Witha  table cloth and the plates and silver ware set orderly. No candles though

Valentines Day dinner would consist of something new and different like teryaki chicken or some kind of stir fry wrap as a appetizer using Sesame Oil.

then the main course would consist of Like steak and sausage, with mashed potatoes and vegetables and rice.

What did your Valentines Day sinner consist of?
