An anniversary giveaway!!

One year ago today, I wrote my first blog entry on What are my kids eating?. I had no idea at that time what this would grow into! I know I'm not as big and popular as many other blogs, but the amount of readers, feedback, and encouragement I've gotten from doing this...well, I never would have guessed it! Thanks to each and every one of you!

That said, I have some fun news - a chance for you to win a really cool prize! Clif Bar & Company has offered to give one lucky reader a box of Organic ZBaR (S'mores) and a box of Twisted Fruit (flavor of your choice - grape, mixed berry, pineapple, strawberry, sour apple, or tropical twist) from their Clif Kid product line.

The kind folks at Clif were kind enough to send me one of each flavor of ZBaR and Twisted Fruit for my own kids to try out. With 100% honesty, I can say that each variety was a hit with the kiddos. With whole grains, real fruit, and no funky stuff, you can feel good giving your kids these yummy treats. My son said the Twisted Fruit tasted like candy, which is probably the highest praise any product could receive! They are clearly a much better quality than the average fruit snack. The ZBaR seemed more like a cookie/brownie than a cereal or granola bar, and could easily be passed off as a dessert item. While they both have a touch more sugar than I would like, I will happily give these to my kids as a healthy treat, on occasion. I think these products would be great to provide instead of other junk at parties, gatherings, Halloween, etc.

Want some for your own? Just leave me a comment with a way for me to get in touch with you, the Twisted Fruit flavor you would like to try, and a big fat anniversary wish for me (just kidding!). The contest will end on Monday, January 24 at 11:59 pm. One entry per person please! Good luck!

P.S. These might say "kid" on them, but the grown ups in your house will like them too. :)
