I receive product from Anderson Seafoods now and then, and it’s high quality seafood at its best. You order online, and they deliver it to you all fresh or frozen the following day. It can’t get much better than that. You can view this awesome video that shows you a little bit about how they package the seafood and work with UPS to make sure the product is delivered safe and fresh….

I love coffee. One thing I love almost as much as coffee is doughnuts. In fact, all it takes is someone to mention the “d-word” or show a picture of a doughnut and an instant craving happens. We had a Dunkin’ Donuts with a 24-hour drive through open up near our house and it is rather dangerous. Just driving by the big pink sign makes me crave my two favorite combinations…coffee and doughnuts.

As much as I love Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, I can’t go there everyday to grab a cup because I can’t possibly go there just for coffee when an entire display of donuts are staring me in the face! That’s why I love this new Dunkin’ Donuts Bakery Series coffee I can brew at home.  Check out these new, doughnut inspired flavors:…

I’ve had so much fun over the past couple weeks experimenting with the new FreshTake products from Kraft. You may remember I made this flavorful Shrimp Walnut Salad pictured above and the “oh so good” Cheesy Bacon Bites using Kraft FreshTake Cheddar Jack and Bacon variety.

Well, the fun hasn’t stopped there! I’ve been busy over on Pinterest pinning away other Kraft FreshTake recipes. I can’t believe how creative cooks can be with these products. From Shepherds Pie to Cod Au Gratin, there are so many possibilities for Kraft FreshTake goodness! I hope you’ll check out my #KraftFreshTake Inspired Pinterest Board to see some of the great ideas cooked up using Kraft FreshTake!…

Last week I told my kids we were going on a picnic with some of my “co-workers” (that’s my fancy way of saying blog friends). You see, the folks at Wendy’s invited us to a picnic lunch with a few other Kansas City bloggers, giving us the chance to try their new Berry Almond Chicken Salad.

My “co-workers”: Julie, Molly, Erin, me, Jenn and Candy

When we started driving the sky began to turn dark and the rain began to come down. The closer we were to Wendy’s (and the nearby park for our picnic) the darker the skies became. It became fairly obvious that our plans for a picnic were going to have to change.

Jenn and Erin’s kids sitting nicely, eating their lunch while my kids were wrecking havoc everywhere.

What’d we do instead? Our group of 6 bloggers and all of our kids invaded the Wendy’s restaurant and had our own little picnic inside. (If you were at the Wendy’s we invaded, I have to apologize to you now… and to the man who said the sound of our children was music to his ears, I have a few I’d be happy to pass off to you for your listening enjoyment).

Candy captures the fun!

Before you know it we were all settled in with our salads, taking pictures and chatting away (and getting strange looks from people wondering why we were taking pictures of our food from Wendy’s). It wasn’t the ideal picnic, but it was so nice to catch up with local blogging friends.

The Berry Almond Chicken Salad was really quite good. With a combination of 11 different types of freshly chopped greens, fresh berries, roasted almonds, Asiago cheese, grilled chicken breast and a fat-free raspberry vinaigrette dressing, this is the perfect salad for your summer lunch and dinner cravings. I loved the entire flavor combination, and my kids loved to swipe the blueberries and strawberries right out of the bowl.

I was recently introduced to the Together Counts initiative – a movement towards encouraging families to eat together and to get moving together. Our family has the eating together down… family mealtime is and has been a priority for us for quite some time. The moving together, however, is something we aren’t consistently great at.

How often, as a parent, do you passively sit and watch as your kids are playing outside? The Together Counts initiative is empowering families to be the force for change by creating active healthy habits for all family members…not just the kids.

Summer is here, and after a long winter hibernation, I can’t wait to pick up our nightly family walks and bicycle rides again. I know that when my kids see Nick and I setting the example for an active lifestyle, they are more likely to adopt that lifestyle for themselves. What better way to encourage a healthy lifestyle than to join together as a family with a commitment to healthy living?

The Together Counts website offers everyone the opportunity to share what they ate together as a family as well as their healthy family activity for the day. Just viewing the website and checking out what other families are doing offers up inspiration for my own family.

Are you ready to get active with your family? The folks at the Together Counts campaign are offering a $100 Sports Authority gift card giveaway to Dine & Dish readers. To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment on this post letting me know what your favorite family activity is.
