al fresco Chicken Sausages


It's grilling season and on our grill tonight we are grilling all natural al fresco chicken sausage! It is the #1 chicken sausage brand in the US and was developed by Deb O'Donnell to be healthy, delicious and easy to prepare.


With al fresco, it’s all about fresh flavor from fresh ingredients. Their mission is to provide delicious all natural products that are easy to prepare as part of a healthy lifestyle - live life with flavor. Executive chef, Susanna Tolini revels in introducing their customers to a whole new way to enjoy chicken sausage- from scrumptious unexpected flavors such as Roasted Pepper & Asiago and Spinach & Feta to great, easy recipe ideas for all of tbeir 14 al fresco gourmet flavors. Make sure to check out all the recipes and ways to cook up al fresco chicken sausages!


The reason I choose al fresco chicken sausage for my family is because they offer all natural chicken sausage in dinner and breakfast varieties and all of their products have 70% less fat than pork sausage and are free of nitrites, nitrates, preservatives and artificial ingredients, but full of flavor.

I love all the different varieties they offer! Our family favorites are the Roasted Pepper & Asiago and the Sundried Tomato.

I also love that they offer tasty Breakfast Sausage and Meatballs! That means you can eat al fresco for EVERY meal! :)


These days it is hard to find really tasty and delicious foods without all the fat and icky ingredients like nitrates, artificial ingredients and preservatives! That is why it is so refreshing to see all the different flavors that al fresco offers but without the bad and harmful ingredients! My family loves to eat these and I feel great feeding it to them!

Buy It: You can purchase al fresco chicken sausages at a local retailer near you!

Sneaky Pete's


It is recommended adults consume three servings (25 grams) of whole grains each day. Although whole grains are an excellent source of fiber, many people do not prefer to eat oats, whole grain corn, whole wheat, whole grain barley and/or brown rice to meet their fiber requirement. Nine of out ten children do not get the fiber they need, because like many adults, they do not prefer the taste or texture of eating whole grains.

Do you get enough fiber in your diet? 

Well, if you know you need more fiber, then let me recommend Sneaky Pete's beverages to YOU!


Get the fiber your body needs with Sneaky Pete's, an oat-based beverage that comes in 5 fruit flavors, tastes great and is heart healthy, They're low cal and all natural, too!

Sneaky Pete's drinks like your favorite non-carbonated beverage except BETTER! They like to say "I don't just drink it for the flavor...but kids do!" because it tastes tremendous while having healthy benefits.


This OAT Beverage can be enjoyed any time of the day, is heart healthy, and can lower your cholesterol based on the soluble oat fiber that is brewed into our great tasting beverage.

Sneaky Pete's OAT Beverages are available in 5 fabulous flavors:

Nature's Own Breads


My husband likes to wake up 5 minutes before he is supposed to leave for work every morning (after hitting the snooze like 20 times!) so he likes a breakfast that he can eat on the go! And usually that ends up being some sugary, processed and unhealthy breakfast....until I gave him Nature’s Own breakfast breads to eat! He LOVES them and they are great for his health and a great start to his day!

Nature's Own offers a delicious selection of fresh breads and buns made from nature’s best ingredients. They are America's #1-selling soft variety bread brand and offers a ton of delicious products that make it easy to incorporate whole grains into your diet for a healthy heart. With it being American Heart Health Month, it is a perfect time to try out Nature's Own breads!



And they don't just offer breakfast breads - Nature’s Own offers you quality bakery foods for every meal--soft variety breads, premium specialty breads, white breads, buns, sandwich rounds, and English muffins, bagels, and breakfast breads.

My husband absolutely LOVES the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Bread, Cinnamon Raisin Bagels, and the Oatmeal Toasters.

I absolutely love that Nature's Own doesn't include anything artificial or High Fructose Corn Syrup which is almost a given in most mainstream breads these days!

So, if you are struggling getting through the day or need a better on-the-go breakfast option, try out Nature's Own breads - we especially recommend the breakfast options! :)
