Don’t Chicken Out! Ask Your Member of Parliament To Be the #MPChickenHero

May 31, 2016 by Kathryn 1 Comment

If there’s one thing I love, it’s a really good chicken sandwich. Topped with fresh and tasty fixings and served on a perfect bun, there’s just nothing better than that first bite of tender, juicy chicken when I’m feeling hungry. Since 1992, the wonderful people at Chicken Farmers of Canada have served up tasty chicken sandwiches on July 1 at the Great Canadian Chicken Barbecue on Parliament Hill. It’s a big job, but so is creating a sandwich so delicious that Canadians will fall in love at first bite. That’s why Chicken Farmers of Canada is searching for an #MPChickenHero!

That’s right! With Canadians already planning to attend the Great Canadian Chicken Barbecue, who better to create the perfect chicken sandwich than one of Canada’s current Members of Parliament? Last year’s winning sandwiches included a Pesto Chicken Philly Melt from the Manitoba MP Hon. Vic Toews, a Chow-Style BBQ Sandwich from Ontario MP Olivia Chow and a Canadian BBQ Chicken Sandwich from Quebec MP Sylvain Chicoine. Personally, as a serious lover of both cheese and basil, the Pesto Chicken Philly Melt is my top choice for a great sandwich. But I can’t wait to see what delicious creations are put together this year too!

And even though superheroes don’t need a reward, the #MPChickenHero is going to get a great one for his or her community! The MP that creates the winning sandwich will win a $10,000 donation for their local food bank. I grew up in pretty severe poverty, so food banks are a cause that’s near and dear to my heart. In fact, when I won a $1000 donation to my favourite charity a few years ago, my own local food bank was my immediate choice. Over one third of the people that depend on Food Banks are children and in my own admittedly biased opinion, no child should ever have to go hungry. Such a generous prize means that the winning MP is ensuring happy, well-fed kids that will have the drive to thrive in their society.

And that’s where we come in! None of our Members of Parliament can be the #MPChickenHero if they don’t know about this great opportunity, so let’s band together and make sure our local heroes enter their best recipes! I’ve been looking through the downloadable recipe book from last year’s contestants and there are some pretty amazing recipes that have been created in the past. But I’m sure this year’s MPs are up to the challenge! Visit the #MPChickenHero contest page to learn how you can contact your MP and let them know about this fun opportunity. In addition to the grand prize, a second and third place sandwich will also win donations to their local food bank. And of course, everyone that attends the Great Canadian Chicken Barbecue will get to enjoy the winner’s mouth-watering recipe on July 1. There are really no losers in this contest!

I wouldn’t have thought that there was a way to make me love chicken sandwiches even more than I already do, but Chicken Farmers of Canada has done it! The chance to discover a delicious new way to cook a chicken sandwich while also ensuring that kids across Canada have the food they need to grow and prosper is an opportunity that I can’t pass up. Visit the contest page now and make sure that your MP takes part. A little time in the kitchen could make a world of difference to a hungry child!

Encourage Your Little Girl to Release Her Inner Hero with DC Super Hero Girls

January 19, 2016 by Kathryn 20 Comments

Ever since I was a superhero-loving child, I noticed the huge discrepancy between the number of male heroes compared to the number of females. While there were a few action-loving ladies to idolize, the vast majority of any super team were men. And to this day, that trend has continued. Just look at latest Hollywood superhero movies! That’s why I’m so excited about the new DC Entertainment series that puts girls in the spotlight: DC Super Hero Girls!

 
This group of heroes gives new meaning to the phrase “girl power” as they encounter new adventures and discover the benefits both of their unique abilities and their friendships. The varied personalities of the girls means that every real-life little hero will be able to connect with a favourite character and get inspired to be super. From strong and fearless to edgy and fun, these girls have got it all! [Read more…]

Outfitting Two Children for Summer at Walmart Canada #WalmartFrugalHeroes

May 2, 2013 by Kathryn 5 Comments

Today Walmart Canada asked shoppers across the country to take part in a frugal shopping challenge and I was very excited when I was asked to be a part of it. What made this campaign so fun was that I got to choose from an assortment of challenges to find the one that best fit my family. I was very tempted to attempt to redecorate a room in my home for $100 since I’ve been doing a lot of spring cleaning lately, but with our trip to Disneyland just a few weeks away, I decided to undertake the challenge of outfitting two children for summer for $100.

I’ve mentioned before that when it comes to clothes, my boys are not the type of kids that will just wear whatever they have. They love clothes, recognize stylish clothes and like to be involved in the shopping experience whenever possible. So I took the two of them into the store so that they could help me choose their summer wardrobe.

Sugar-Free Nutrition for the Whole Family is Easy with Yummi Bears and Slice of Life-Giveaway

May 18, 2012 by Kathryn 76 Comments

slice of life sugar freeMy boys have tried a few different varieties of gummy vitamins and they’re pretty big fans of most of them, but that doesn’t mean they’re not always ready to put their expertise to the test trying new ones! So when Hero Nutritionals, the makers of Yummi Bears and Slice of Life vitamins, contacted me about reviewing their brand new sugar free D3 gummy vitamins, I couldn’t resist. The fact that Yummi Bears contained no sugar was instantly appealing to me and I was excited to see if my boys would like them as much as their regular vitamins.

Yummi Bears and Slice of Life D3 vitamins are different than most brands of gummy vitamins for a few reasons. For one thing, they use only D3, which is the most easily absorbed form of vitamin D. And even more importantly, the vitamins are sugar free but still contain all-natural ingredients! I like minimizing the sugar in my children’s diets but I have a huge problem with artificial sweeteners and will always choose real sugar for both my boys and myself over any chemical substitute. Vitamins made by Hero Nutritionals are sweetened with inulin fibre and lo han fruit so they have a great sweet taste that’s completely natural! [Read more…]
