One cereal we keep stocked in the pantry is Cinnamon Toast Crunch because it is a cereal my whole family enjoys! When the MyBlogSpark & General Mills asked me to try the NEW Frosted Toast Crunch, with the delicious taste of frosted vanilla, I jumped! While I don’t eat cereal in the morning, I do like it for a snack when I am craving something sweet and crunchy! I don’t have to feel too guilty about this because Frosted Toast Crunch has 11 grams of whole grain, 9 grams of sugar and a good source of calcium! While I don’t love it as much as the original, it was a huge hit with my husband and kids.
If you would like to give the NEW Frosted Toast Crunch a try, General Mills along with MyBlogSpark have teamed up to give one lucky Spend Less and Save More reader the chance to win a Frosted Toast Crunch Prize Pack which includes:
All you need to do to enter is leave me a comment that tells me what you had for breakfast this morning!

Chex is a cereal that I always keep stocked in my pantry because I know there is so much I can do with it! If I am in a bind and have some unexpected guests, it is easy to throw together a spicy party mix or a sweet treat! My kids really enjoy it when I make Muddy Buddies (which we have also given as gifts in the past during the holidays!). There are so many possibilities when it comes to Chex Mix so I was excited to hear about Chex® Party Mix-Change, a modern spin on the traditional cookie swap! The idea is to get together with friends and exchange different types of Chex mixes.
Sam’s Club and Chex Mix along with MyBlogSpark have teamed up to give one lucky Spend Less and Save More reader the chance to win a Chex PartyMix Change Prize Pack which includes a $25 Sam’s Club Gift Card and box of Chex Mix Cereal!
All you need to do to enter is tell me which of the recipes on ChexPartyMixChange.com you think you would like to try.

I am amazed at the price of milk. It is one of those staple items we have to get each week and you almost never find it on sale. From November 13th through November 26th, when you buy four participating General Mills products, you will either receive FREE milk (up to $3; limit of 2) or $3 off your shopping order at your local Kroger store. That is a great deal, but I can make it even better!
To help you save on those General Mills products, MyBlogSpark, General Mills and Kroger are hooking up one lucky Spend Less and Save More Reader with a $25 Kroger Gift Card! This means you can stock up and get FREE Milk too!
For a chance to win, all you need to tell me how often you buy milk.

On Sunday, I wrote about how in an attempt to lose a few pounds, I am trying to eat leaner cuts of meat. Today, I wanted to share with you my recipe for Pork Tenderloin I made compliments of the Costco Gift cards I was given by Costco and The Motherhood and also share with you the opportunity to get your own Pork Party Pack!
Let me begin by saying that I am the type of cook that spends all day in the kitchen. My favorite meals are ones that can be placed in one dish or in a slow cooker. That is why when I was approached by The Motherhood and Costco to come up with an original recipe using Pork Tenderloin, I wanted something simple and tasty! Here is my recipe for Spiced Apple Pork Loin:
1 Pork Tenderloin (I divided mine into 3 1b portions since I was only cooking for 2 adults and 2 kids)
1/2 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Tbl sp Garlic Salt
1 Tbl sp Pepper
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
Canned Apple Pie Filling
Crock Pot
Rinse and Pat dry the Pork tenderloin. Pour 1/2 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar over the meat. The Apple Cider Vinegar will help tenderize the meat.
Add Garlic Salt & Pepper both sides of the meat and then take a 1/2 cup of brown sugar and rub over the surface of the meat.
Here is the easiest part of the recipe: Dump the entire can of apple pie filling over the meat.
Put the lid on the top & turn the crock on low. Cook for about 8 hours or until meat reaches 160 to 145 degrees*
*In May, the USDA reduced the temperature guideline for pork loins, chops and roasts from 160 to 145 degrees F, with a three-minute rest. This will yield a juicy, flavorful product that may be pinker in color than most home cooks are used to. Ground pork, like all ground meat, should be cooked to 160 degrees.
All you need to tell me is your favorite cut of pork!

Giveaway ends on Monday, October 31th at 12pm EST. Random.org will be used to select the winner, and winner will be posted here. Winner will have 48hrs to contact me or another winner will be selected.
Disclosure: I was provided Costco Gift Cards to purchase the ingredients for my recipe and a stipend by TheMotherhood.
And the winner is:
Congrats, Anash! Be sure to contact me in the next 48 hours to claim your prize!

As I wrote earlier this month, my family will be taking a Disney Cruise in the spring. I am super excited about this cruise, but would like to be able to wear a two-piece which is something I haven’t done in nearly 10 years. As part of my incentive to take this trip, I have made a deal with myself to drop 10 lbs. While this might not seems like much, for me it is a huge deal. Part of how I plan of doing this is by watching what I eat.
Being a mom of two, it is hard to find “healthy” meals that everyone will eat. The challenge is to find lean cuts of meat that will provide the protein I need to not be a grouch and will also be tasty enough to satisfy my picky eaters.
So when I was contacted by The Motherhood & Costco to spread news about National Pork Month, I was thrilled because Pork is “the other white meat.”
October is National Pork Month and being a North Carolinian, I know a little about pork. What I didn’t know is that pork tenderloin is as lean as a skinless chicken breast! This will be a great addition to my menu. Beginning October 17th, in honor of National Pork Month, you can get $2.00 off a package of pork tenderloin when you shop at Costco. I know I’ll be getting in on that deal and will also be sharing my experience cooking and serving it to my family later in the week.
Be sure to check back in to see my recipe for Pork Tenderloin, my families review and a chance to win $25 Gift Card to Costco!
Do you have a great Pork Tenderloin recipe to share? Be sure to leave me a link in the comment section so I can check it out!
