Healthier and Tastier Popcorn
Ingredients: 1/2 cup Popcorn Kernels 2-3 tablespoons Coconut Oil Sea Salt (to taste) Serves: 4-6 cups of cooked popcorn Instructions: Step 1) Put a large pot (with lid) on the stove, and turn to medium heat.

Hashed Browns (Organic) by Alexia
Taste Test These are comparable to the good ‘ol fashioned home-made version you might have been lucky enough to grow up with.

Mini Whole Grain Sandwich Cookies by Late July
These cookies have it all –Better Nutrition, a Worthy Cause, and Great Taste!

Animal Crackers (Organic) by Kirkland Signature
Taste I am an adult. Just because I am an adult, doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy Animal Crackers, right? I don’t know what it is about these animal crackers, (maybe the vanilla?), but these are just exceptional, and dare I say…addicting? Health These are better for you than a candy bar, but still remember that these aren’t a meal or a basic food group. It’s a cracker. Something to get you by to the next meal, or something to munch on instead of something much worse for you. Either way, it tastes pretty good, and it is at a very reasonable price- comparable to something that wasn’t even organic. I am a huge fan of organic products, and the fact that I can buy this delicious snack in such a big container is exciting. I have found that a lot...

I like to carry a delicious LÄRABAR® with me, and I will tell you why.
