I am always on the search for healthier snacks and alternatives because we all love to snack but I can't have chips everyday, now can I? That would be devastating to my health. So it was definitely interesting to find Calbee's Harvest Snaps. They offer 6 different flavors and are created from baked peas and lentils. Hold that thought...

I don't know about you but when we do potlucks or anything, I always feel dread because it's so hard to make something that everyone will like. Even for snacks, it's always a head scratcher but I've found a great solution that incorporates not only healthy and fresh ingredients but seriously only took me a few minutes to prepare.

Digging into the mind of Chopped's Ted Allen after The View #TedAllenG2K

It's been busy new year so far for me. I recently had the pleasure of attending a live taping of ABC's The View for Simply Stacie. I've been to a movie set visit before but it was my first time as live studio audience and being so ridiculously close to the show's hosts. Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd, and guest co-host, Kadee Strickland (Private Practice) were right in front of me as I enjoyed my 2nd row seats. LOL, those second row seats were also what snagged me great pics of Whoopi's wooden clogs.

Healthy #Halloween Alternatives & Snacking with Chia bars

Always on the lookout for a healthy snack or treat, I am always trying out new things. Health Warrior did great in the naming department. With a name like that, it’s hard to turn away from it. Right? It says Health Warrior! The Chia Bar, in its new packaging above, really does a thing or too to help you stay fit this Halloween season and beyond. Instead of handing out sugar-filled treats, which I admit, I am guilty of loving…you could hand out healthy goodies that not only taste great but also keeps the trick-o-treaters healthy.

Getting ready for Hurricane Sandy with Del Monte #SmartSnack #CBias

Hurricane Sandy is coming! Alright, part of me is excited but the sane part of me wants to make sure I'm prepared. I just got in from last night from a conference and had already made plans to go for a quick trip to Walmart to pick up some essentials that I needed. I already have lots of food and water but I wanted to grab some snacks, just in case. Why? I eat multiple small meals and snacks throughout the day. Despite my love for all things cheesy, healthy snacks are a big priority.

#Yoplait is #WeightWatchers approved! US 10/07 #MyBlogSpark

Mmmm...I love my yogurt! Did you know there's now a Weight Watchers approved yogurt? Yoplait Light and Yoplait Greek 100 now have 20 flavors for only 2 Weight Watchers® PointsPlus®value each. Love it! It's yogurt specific for those on Weight Watchers but for those of us not on Weight Watchers, it's an added bonus because it just seems that much better with the lower 100 calorie count. To make it even sweeter for you, we're doing a weekend flash giveaway!

Easy Stirfry #Recipes with #HillshireFarm US 10/13

Despite my lack of time, I have a love for cooking. There's nothing quite like freshly made, home food. Why? I control the amount of salt that goes in, which is none for the recipe I'm about to show you. I can create healthy meals just like that. ;) It may seem I've made myself out to be superwoman but you'll see just how easy it was.

Excuse me, could you pass the #beans? #Beanfields #Snacks #Review

I am always on the lookout for healthy snacks that satisfy the craving and don't add on the pounds. My latest venture took in to the realm of beans. Why beans? LOL, beans have high fiber and protein content and a low glycemic index. In plain terms, they're healthy and slowly release energy, which is a good thing. They are also more easily grown due to the decreased water requirement and last longer, even without being placed in the fridge. So, basically, I have a long-lasting, easy to grow crop that's also healthy for me.

#Superbowl Fun + #Healthy Low-fat #Popcorn #Recipe #PepsivsCoke #CBias

How did you spend your Superbowl Sunday? Better yet, how was the preparations for Superbowl Sunday? Saturday was a busy day. To see my trip to the store to pick up some of my ingredients and the fun I had zooming around the store, check out my Google+ story!

#Sante #Nuts #Review

I seem to be on a roll with healthy snacks lately! Here's the latest one. Nuts carry a lot of good nutrients in them and are always a good, healthy snack. I was sent Roasted Salted Pecans, Garlic Almonds, Candied Walnuts, and Candied Pecans to try from Sante Nuts.

#OldLondon #Snacks #Giveaway US 11/21

Mmm...yay for healthy snacks from Old London! Check out my review.

#OldLondon #Snacks #Review

Ever crave for snacks? I do, on a regular basis, and I find it hard to resist reaching for those can of chips or those Cheetos. I have a super weakness for Cheetos. Once I grab a big bag, I can literally eat at least half of it...in one sitting. Then I get upset about it! LOL, so once in a while, its nice to have a healthy alternative to turn to instead. A snack that I won't feel guilty about.

#Hill's #Pet #Nutrition -Healthy Mobility Challenge

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hills Pet Nutrition. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have a Jack Russell, you know, one of those crazy, little energetic balls of love. My baby girl loves to run and play and there's nothing she loves more than to take her grandparents out for a nice, long jog by the river! So, it's of utmost importance that I keep my baby healthy and mobile. There's nothing more that I'd love for her than to always be able to run and be happy.
