#HoneyBakedHoliday Christmas Ham #Review #HolidayGiftGuide

Disclaimer, I received compensation, and samples to facilitate a review.  Opinions, and photos are my own!

Recently I had the opportunity to review my favorite HoneyBaked Ham location at Sawmill Road, Columbus, Ohio.  Not only do they have delicious hams they also have my favorite sassafrass pop. If you've never had HoneyBaked Ham before I highly recommend going for lunch and taking advantage of the relaxing bistro like setting at this location when taking a break from Holiday shopping.  Can also preorder your Holiday Meal for later!

Choosing which Ham is as easy as telling what size you are looking for and if you want bone in or without.  They were extra friendly, and even helped me with using a coupon (yes they have their own coupon promos too!)    

When I think of Christmas, I can't help but think of the food too.  From the Sweets, to the Savory.  To me it isn't a Holiday Meal without the Ham.  I know my families tradition is to have a Ham every year.  If Ham isn't your thing, HoneyBaked Ham also does Roasted, and Smoked Turkey Breast.

Since we are all getting older, and instead of a house of 2 Adults, and 4 kids. We are now a family of 9 Adults, and 5 kids for the Holidays. Preparing a meal that large, the kids at Church, the Caroling, the Present Wrapping can be a bit overwhelming.  

I love how HoneyBaked Ham can cater the whole event, even with Coupons! Seriously, the taste of a home cooked meal, side dishes, pies, and even cookies really does make things easier. The take & heat side dishes are also easy to heat up in barely any time. I really don't think the Holidays should be stressful.

I chose the Orange Cranberry Zest, Pecan Pie, and Sweet Potato Souffle. All were delicious! There were other Take & Serve trays, but Nothing says The Holidays to me than Pecan Pie, Cranberries, and Sweet Potatoes.

From now until 1/11/15 you can enter to win a $25,000 HoneyBaked Kitchen Makeover when you buy a Ham and Turkey Breast bundle.

#PostGoodness Breakfast Bowls Review & $25.00 Amazon GC Giveaway! #Ad

This is a sponsored Post & Giveaway. I was compensated for my Opinion, along with Samples. Opinions are my own on the Review!

Seriously, what is better than an easy breakfast that has a serious punch of proteins packed into an easy heat-able tray? Maybe an easy breakfast, and a coupon to print at home?! Click here to print your own Post Goodness Coupon. The Post Goodness Breakfast bowls take 60 seconds to heat up You know what else only takes a few seconds? To enter this Sponsored Giveaway from Post Goodness for a $25.00 Amazon Gift card.

I consider Post Goodness Breakfast Bowls food for fuel. There are plenty of mornings I don't feel like cooking, I know I am not the only one, but the body needs to be fueled with a balance of different grains, and proteins.

Flavors come in 4 different varieties.  Depending on if you have a sweet tooth go for the Apple Cinnamon, or Maple Brown Sugar, or just want extra protein with Bacon or Sausage. All are full of whole grain oats.

I had the opportunity to review Post Goodness Apples & Cinnamon (8 grams of Protein, and just 200 Calories.)

And, Post Goodness Real Sausage & Cheddar Cheese (12 grams of protein, and just 220 Calories.)

Each Breakfast bowl is a single serving, and atleast provides 26 grams of Whole Grain. Nutritionists recommend eating three or more servings of whole grain foods per day (about 16g whole grain per serving or at least 48g per day).  Eating the Oats easily filled me up in the single serving.  The texture is what I expected for Oats. Considering its as simple as removing a plastic film off the tray.  Heating the tray for 45 seconds.  Stirring, then reheating again for 15 seconds.  Time really did fly by.  Before I could pour my cup of coffee, the microwave was beeping at me.  It's that fast.

Each flavor I tried I enjoyed. Both I could taste, and see chunks of the main ingrediants through out the slow cooked steel cut oats.  The oats were chewy, with slight snap when biting into.  Which is great for oats, and people like myself, and my son whom loves textures.  My son loved the Apple Cinnamon the most.  My favorite was the Sausage & Cheddar.  It was moist, and reminded me of Sauage & Gravy but trickery! It's Oats, Sausage & Cheddar.


Don't forget you can find new Post Goodness Breakfast Bowls in the hot cereal aisle at your local Walmart. To try for yourself, check out this coupon for $1.00 off a package! Don't forget each computer can print 2 coupons per computer! http://bit.ly/1yuXXEC
