As a member of the Chick-fil-A mom panel, I belong to a great group of mommies that works hand and hand with Chick-fil-A. At times we are asked to get crafty. While I might not be the crafty mom on the blog I do love to upcycle.
Our hearty chicken tortilla soup features shredded boneless breast of chicken, navy, northern, and black beans in a white creamy base with a perfect blend of vegetables and spices to heat up your dining experience. Topped off with seasoned corn tortilla strips. Seasonal item only.
up·cy·cle -
ˈəpˌsīkəl/
verb
reuse (discarded objects or material) in such a way as to create a product of a higher quality or value than the original.
"the opportunity to upcycle trash, or turn it into new products, was vast"
We were recently asked to participate in the upcycling challenge Chick-fil-A soup bowls. While there are endless possibilities on how to reuse these bowls, here are a few that I have personally used.
I really enjoy reusing them in my children's lunchboxes. It's so much better than using bags. The treats I put in them don't get crushed or damaged. Plus I am saving one on bags.
Place one on top of your dryer for the spare change you find in the washer. This used to work well for me, then my kids got hip to get and it never feels up with change anymore.
We have 2 tiny doggies that pretty much travel everywhere with us. These bowls make it easy to transport food and water without the mess.

I was beyond thrilled to be chosen to work with both of these childhood classics. I absolutely loved Precious Moments & Care Bears when I was a girl.

We really like the way they connect together while walking on clouds. They are just so lovingly detailed. My daughter, Sarah, has already requested each of them to complete the set. These are a great way to mark a moment in time or even a holiday. That is my perfect plan for the other four in this set. With Easter just around the corner and her birthday soon following.

I am constantly on a quest for the best cup of coffee. It really does fuel my day. So, when I reached out to Founding Fathers I was thrilled to try the coffee but also to learn that they are a company with a heart. Besides being an outstanding cup of coffee they also give back to military families(read below to find out more). This is a cause that is near and dear to my heart. What better way to give back then to buy a product that most of us use daily. These K-Cups were very easy to use with my brewing system. Each of these coffees has a lovely aroma while brewing...there is just nothing like the smell of coffee to me. I brewed a cup of each to do my own mini taste test. I tend to like a light to medium roast. I also like flavored coffees and add flavored creamer. I really liked all the coffees and each has its own distinct flavor, look,and aroma. The one I enjoyed most hands down was the french vanilla and my husband could not get enough of the donut stop.
I highly recommend you check them out not only for the great flavor but also to give back to our military families.
Founding Fathers are currently available in 5 varieties and also organic:
- 100% Colombian Medium Roast - This coffee has a deliciously rich taste with satisfying, full-bodied character.
- Donut Shop Medium Roast - This classic coffee blend is rich, smooth and satisfying.
- French Roast Dark Roast - This intensively rich coffee has a soft smoky flavor with a smooth taste and velvety body.
- French Vanilla Medium Roast - The sweet and creamy essence of vanilla creates a luxurious coffee experience.
- Morning Blend Light Roast - Brighten your day with this perfectly balanced, aromatic coffee with an enjoyably smooth finish.
- Organic - Peruvian Organic, Sunrise Blend Organic, Mountain Java Organic, Donut Shop Organic, Fair Trade Organic Dark Roast and Rainforest Medium Roast.
Founding Fathers Coffee is now available at Amazon.com, all Military Exchanges and select retail stores throughout the United States. Using 100% Arabica coffee, Founding Fathers Coffee offers five different roasts; Morning Blend, Donut Shop, French Roast, Colombian and French Vanilla. The coffee will be available in single serve cups (K-cups) and ground. Also available in USDA Organic, Fair Trade and Rainforest.Founding Fathers Coffee enters the single-serve coffee industry as it continues to grow in popularity. In 2015, 27% of coffee drinkers owned a single cup brewing system and projections jump to 50% by 2020. Single serve generated sales of $3.71 billion for the 52 weeks ending January 24, 2016.
Half of the profits from Founding Fathers Coffee will be donated to organizations that support American military families, including the largest veteran’s service organization in the world, The American Legion.
“I founded the company to produce superior American made products that support our American military families with what I consider to be a heroic level of giving” said Phil Knutsen, CEO. “We hope Founding Fathers will become the coffee of choice for patriotic, mainstream coffee drinkers.”
Founding Fathers Products launched a premium American lager in 2011 which is now available in 8 states.

Ozeri is a company that I always enjoy working with. I cannot rave enough about how much I like their products. When I was offered the chance to try out Ozeri INSTAVAC Green Earth Food Storage Container Set, BPA-Free 8-Piece Nesting Set with Vacuum Seal and Locking Lids, I was excited! 1st off we are a family of 5 and I am always in need of storage food. And with the ever rising cost of food, we can all use a storage that has instavac to keep food fresher longer. The sizes that come in this set are awesome, 21 cups (5.0 liters), 12.7 cups (3.0 liters), 6.3 cups (1.5 liters) and 3 cups (0.7 liters). I love the fact that they are crystal clear so it's very easy to see what is inside. The kit comes with a guide tells you just how to use the containers-they are very easy to use, clean and store. They are also affordably priced, and I use them daily. They would also make a great house warming gift for a new couple-or just a gift in general. The container makes it easy to transport food as well-and I always get questions about what they are and how they work-they are the talk of the buffet at social gatherings. As a busy mom, I love that these are microwave and dishwasher safe.
Here’s what you need to know about the Ozeri INSTAVAC Green Earth Food Storage Container Set, BPA-Free 8-Piece Nesting Set with Vacuum Seal and Locking Lids:

I have always had a love affair with dark chocolate. There has just always been something about it. It's always been serious chocolate and has a flavor that other chocolate lacks. So, I'm sure you can understand how thrilled I was when I reached out to Honduras Chocolate Company for Valentine's and they said....YES! There are countless good things I can say about this company and I'm not just talking about the quaily of the chocolate. All of the chocolate is made from organically-grown, single-origin cacao. The cacao is grown and manufactured in the rainforest of Honduras. The Honduras Chocolate Company provides a sustainable economic solution, ensuring a brighter future and a stronger economic outlook...one chocolate bar at a time. So, what does all this mean? It's chocolate and a company with a heart. They care about the people that are producing the cacao and the land that it's grown on. The cacao is grown by an exclusive network of Honduran farmers. Honduras Chocolate Company knows each of these farmers and their family by name. They also invest in these farmers and the communities and pay higher-than-fair-trade prices plus provide access to training, agricultural resources and micro-loans to the farmers. They do all this so that their farmers can not only better provide for their families but can also invest in their farms. As a result, the cacao they produce is of a superior quality. A company that cares about the little people is rare these days, we applaud them for putting the people about the all mighty dollar and trying to make this world a better place.
All of the chocolate products are gluten-free, dairy-free, non-GMO and manufactured in a nut and soy free facility. WOW....looks like they have all the bases covered. This means that more people can enjoy these products. That's a win for all the people that have food allergy issues or for someone like me that just likes the fact that everyone can enjoy the art of dark chocolate. Gosh, could you imagine being able to tour the facility? It must smell like pure nirvana...they really should bottle that and make it an air freshener. The chocolate is made in small batches using the perfect blend of beans from each farm. This gives the chocolate bars a complex and rich flavor profile. It truly is a love story from start to finish. And we get to enjoy the fruits of this labor of love. It was a cool experience to be able to try each of these bars. You can taste the variations in the amount of cacao each bar contains. Honduras Chocolate Company would like to share the love they celebrate with making 1 lucky reader a winner. 1 reader will win 4 bars, a $25 value.
