Disclosure: The information and prize pack have been provided by General Mills through MyBlogSpark. During the colder months, I tend to stay away from salads.

My family and I love our snacks. After dinner, we like to have a sweet or salty snack to calm the savage beast within us (LOL). We can't help it. It's that time to relax, watch some TV and enjoy each other's company. But there are times when we have nothing to snack on so I'll drive to our local convenience store to get some much needed grub. When I'm at the store, I tend to browse all the aisles looking for that perfect snack, especially when I'm alone. Either I'm looking for something … [Read more...]
