You all know I love my local Hy-Vee. I'm there often. When I was given the opportunity to try out some new items that Hy-Vee would be carrying for Helpful Smiles TV and share my thoughts I just had to say yes! Hy-Vee sent me a box full of items to try and share my thoughts on. As you can see, the box had a nice variety of items but the one thing I was dying to try were those Cheetos! I will be rating the items on a scale of 1 to 5 exclamation points. 1 exclamation point being it's good, someone ...

Quick and Easy Dinners with Barilla
School is back in session and fall sports are starting up too. Life is crazy! Families are rushing from one place to other and barely having time for family dinners.

For the past few weeks, I have been using Flavor Your Life Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil while I'm cooking. Not all extra virgin olive oil is created equal. Flavor Your Life is an Italian olive ...

Peyton loves the Entenmann's Little Bites muffins but now, Entenmann's Little Bites Cookies are available! The same great quality Entenmann's Little Bites now in a cookie.

Kona Ice of Stillwater
Every weekend I look for food trucks that will be in our local area. Since the Minnesota State Fair was canceled and we can't really travel much, finding and trying out new food trucks every weekend has kinda become our thing.

When I saw that it was going to be in downtown Stillwater today I knew that was the food truck Peyton and I were going to check out this weekend. I knew what time Kona ...
