One Step Ahead has some AWESOME solutions for keeping food fresh and chilled no matter where you end up eating lunch.

When Jojo was a baby, he used to love to eat freeze-dried corn nibblets as a snack. He was a picky eater so this made me very happy!
Of course, for some reason “they” stopped making the dehydrated corn, but Funky Monkey Snacks has stepped up to the plate (haha! pun!) with some fantastic freeze dried [...]

When I think of Frito-Lay and autumn foods, I remember the yummy Tamale Dip my mom prepares by the crock-pot full when she needs to feed a crowd.
“Tailgating” isn’t normally about healthy eating, but Frito-Lay wants to help you get off the greasy train with portion control sizes for enjoying old favorites in moderation.
You can [...]

I just finished the last of the tasty samples of Somersaults, a tasty, healthy, satisfying snack food for grown-ups no the go.
They are lovely crunchy nuggets baked with simple ingredients – sunflower seeds, spices and toasted grains – but with more protein and less fat than a handful of almonds.
I ate them all mindfully, but [...]

One day I decided that instead of only going to “family” restaurants, I would try to teach my children “grown-up” manners.
I took Jojo on an outing to a nice Italian restaurant and taught him some basic fancy-place manners.
I showed him how to take the cloth napkin, lay it in your lap, then use the corner [...]

On Sunday, both of my boys chowed down on raw carrots and peeled cucumbers sliced into spears. I had put them out on the lunch table to see if they would attract any attention. I didn’t acknowledge them at all, or say anything like, “Just try one bite you will like it! Do it!”
I was [...]
