Enjoy Fish Regularly with BlueWater Seafood Gluten Free Grill Fish-Giveaway

Fish has to be one of the most delicious, healthy and versatile foods around and I make a point of cooking up a main course featuring fish whenever I get the chance. BlueWater Seafood, a company that I’ve featured in the past on Mommy Kat and Kids, has fabulous variety and options the whole family loves. And recently, the company has undergone the testing and monitoring necessary to ensure that the BlueWater Grill Fish is gluten free!

I received full-value coupons and a handy reusable sling bag so that I could try a few different variety of BlueWater Seafood and I had no problem filling up the bag with tasty BlueWater products. I decided to try the gluten free Grill Fish Haddock and I also bought some Multigrain Tilapia fillets because they featured added fibre and I knew my boys would love them. [Read more...]

Before I was a blogger, I was a bit of a gamer. In fact, I’m still a gamer but blogging doesn’t leave me much time for playing games! Still, when I get the chance, I love relaxing with good Hidden Object games or Match 3 games. So when Big Fist Games contacted me about reviewing their website, I couldn’t resist. I actually used to use the Big Fish Games site pretty often back before I started my blog!

One of the best things about Big Fish Games is that you can download and test out any game for an hour to decide if you want to buy it or not. And when you do decide to buy, full-length games are available for about $10 each! [Read more...]

Healthy and Simple Appetizers and Entrees with Wholly Guacamole and Salsa-Giveaway

Last year I was introduced to the fabulous Wholly Guacamole and Wholly Salsa products from Fresherized Foods and from my very first bite of Classic Wholly Guacamole on a multigrain tortilla chip I knew I was in love. I am a snacker, but these scrumptious dips and spreads prove that snacking doesn’t have to be unhealthy! With no additives, preservatives, gluten or trans fats, they’re a better way to munch out when a snack craving hits.

So I decided to come up with a couple of easy recipes to show how Wholly Guacamole and Wholly Salsa can be used for more than just dip for chips! I received a cute lunch bag full of Wholly merchandise and product coupons, so I headed to Safeway, picked up a few of my favourite Wholly products and headed home to start cooking!

My first recipe used the Wholly Guacamole Classic flavour. I love cooking but because I don’t have much free time my focus is always on recipes that are quick and easy. So I combined a few simple ingredients into a scrumptious appetizer that could be whipped up in minutes.

Tomato Guacamole Canapes

Ingredients:

one box plain baguette chips

one tomato, sliced and cut into quarters

4 oz. mozzarella cheese, sliced

one package Classic Wholly Guacamole

Preparation:

Arrange baguette chips in single layer on baking sheet.

Place one slice of tomato and one slice of mozzarella on each baguette chip. Place under broiler in oven or toaster oven until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Top each baguette chip with a dollop of classic Wholly Guacamole and serve.

Assembly was the most lengthy part of this recipe and it really only took a few minutes before I was sliding the baguette chips under the broiler. Once the cheese was nice and bubbly, a dollop of guacamole on the top of the cheese finished off each appetizer!

For the salsa, I decided to take a different route and make a main dish. Creating quick and healthy meals for my family is something I really struggle with on a busy day so I wanted to create an entrée with minimal preparation and cooking time.

Salsa Cheddar Cod Fillets

Ingredients:

6 codfish fillets

one container Wholly Salsa, Medium flavour

6 oz. old cheddar cheese, grated

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place fish fillets on baking sheet.

Cover fillets with salsa and top with grated old cheddar cheese.

Bake for 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and fish is cooked. Serve with rice.

I debated a bit about what type of cheese to use for this recipe, but I eventually decided on old cheddar since it’s a cheese that’s featured in some other popular Mexican dishes and so I thought it would blend nicely with the salsa. I’ll bet that Parmesan or feta would work equally well though!

To enter, just leave a comment telling me about your most creative way of using salsa or guacamole.

Eating salsa and guacamole with tortilla chips is always going to be my favourite use of Wholly products, but when I want to get creative with my cooking, the fresh and natural flavours of the dips are great for that too! So pick up your favourite variety and get creative! You’ll love how Wholly products can add some extra zing to your meals!
