Snack Time

***WINNER PICKED 12/30 WITH RANDOM.ORG***

***CONGRATULATIONS, Jinxy and Me!!!***

her comment...
Strawberry is the yogurt fave. My favorite Kraft singles memory is eating slices straight out of the package!


Roo used to be a fabulous eater who would try anything you set in front of her. Now she vetoes almost anything that isn't nugget, pasta or berry. It's annoying, sure, but I am also constantly wondering if she's ingesting enough nutrients. How can I be sure she's getting the right stuff without arguing 24-7?!

Luckily I have a few "cheater snacks" in my arsenal. First up, grilled cheese. I finally bought an electric griddle and it has revolutionized my grilled cheese making! I can make 'em for everyone in the family all at once without any of them getting cold. They all turn out golden and crispy and gooey, not semi-carbonized. (It's great for pancakes, too!) While there are plenty of fabulous cheeses out there to be sampled, there really is no denying the sublime nostalgic perfection of Kraft Singles.



I know Roo and Jasper would like that kind of cheese, too. I remember a day not too long ago when all cheese was individually wrapped or fell in powdery tufts from a shaken canister…but I'm also nervous about pre-packaged foods' hormone modifications and early onset puberty. The new 2% Milk Kraft Singles has the same great taste and meltability you remember, but the milk comes from cows untreated with the growth hormone rbST so you can rest a little easier, paranoid mommy!

Another fabulous convenience food that you can feel okay about is yogurt. I remember in the '70s my dad bought a yogurt maker and I think we used it once. Like the crepe maker and the fondue set. But yogurt has become an American staple that Yoplait even has a specialized range for little ones: Yoplait Kids. Back in February, I extolled its virtues on Roo's persnickitty palate thusly:
She does like Yoplait Kids, especially the drinkable yogurt in mixed berry. Having her cartoon heart-throb, Diego, on the packaging probably helps a little, too. What I like about them is that they aren't candy-flavored versions of yogurt. They do contain sugar, but not any more than the average grown-up brands, so the goodness of the yogurt isn't outweighed by unnatural additives or sweeteners. In fact, even the coloring agents on the ingredients list are pretty innocuous- beet juice and annatto seeds. So I feel like I've done my mom-ly duty if I give her a cup of Yoplait Kids and a banana.


If your little munchkin is lacking in the protein/calcium zone, check out Kraft Singles and Yoplait Kids. We tried some new Kraft Singles (they even have organics and more flavors like pepper jack and sharp cheddar!) and a super fun picnic pack from Yoplait Kids featuring a mini cooler, BrainQuest game for toddlers and drinkable banana Yoplait Kids featuring the Backyardigans.



To enter and win a Yoplait Kids picnic pack like the one we received, as well as some free coupons for Kraft Singles, please comment on this post with your favorite Yoplait Kids yogurt flavor AND your favorite memory about Kraft Singles.


Entries will be accepted through December 29th and I'll pick the winner using Random.org. US readers are eligible, although the free yogurt coupon is not valid in CA, ID, LA, NV, NJ, ND and TN. Only one entry/comment per person, please.

  56. My kids favorite Yoplait flavor is strawberry banana. We purchase a case of yogurt every week because husband, son and daughter each eat them (husband 2 a day for lunch!).

    My favorite Kraft singles memory is back when I was in high school. Parents were out of town so of course...I threw a party! It was a blast and all was good and cleaned up (we thought) before my parents returned home. The next day is when I got in trouble and asked if people had been in the house. As the evidence proved a girl got drunk at my party, got the Kraft singles out of the refridgerator, climbed on the roof (my parents house is built into a hill on the backside, so it is low) and continued to open the singles and toss them all over the roof. We had little yellow/orange squares of cheese decorating the backside of their house, OOPS! After my grounding we had a good laugh. Ah youth, back in the day....sigh, I sound so old.

    Thank you for the chance to win. Happy New Year 2009 Superdumb SuperVillian
