Pound for Pound. That is how we are going to do it. Pledge to loose a little weight. Feed the hungry. Make life a little better. Pound for Pound.

The Kroger Co. Family of Stores, General Mills, NBC’s hit TV Show “The Biggest Loser” and other key sponsors are partnering to donate up to $1,080,000 to Feeding America this year.

Here’s how you can help:

* Visit www.pfpchallenge.com/Kroger to make your pledge to lose weight and to get more information and to find tools to change your life for the better. It is free, easy and only takes a minute to make a change that can help you and help the hungry in your local community.

* Through June 30, 2010, for every pound you pledge to lose, the Pound For Pound Challenge will donate 14¢ to Feeding America® — enough to deliver one pound of groceries to a local food bank.

As the official supplier of the Biggest Loser Ranch and partner of the Pound for Pound Challenge, the Kroger Family of Stores wants to help you achieve your goals. If you’re a fan of the Biggest Loser, you may have seen several great General Mills products featured on the show.

In the mood for something salty and a little sweet? Want something healthy? Check out Natures Valley Granola Nut Clusters for a snack that will satisfy your cravings and hunger. True to Nature Valley’s tradition they are healthy and delicious…well, healthy if you don’t eat the whole bag like I have been doing. I do have to warn you though, they are highly addictive. I have had them for breakfast, for lunch and as a snack because I just can’t seem to stay away from them.

Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters are a bite size blend of 100% natural ingredients that include select roasted nuts, whole grain oats and a touch of honey – a wholesome and delicious pick-me-up any time of the day. If you love nuts, you´ll enjoy this flavorful little snack featuring the perfect combination of sweet & salty flavors paired with a crunchy texture that you can see and taste. And with the first unique cluster-shaped granola packaged in a handy re-sealable pouch, it´s perfect for sharing on the trails or in your living room!

New Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters come in four easy-to-crave flavors: Nut Lovers, Roasted Almond, Roasted Cashew and Honey Roasted Peanut.I tried to pick a favorite, but I truly do like all of them. If I HAD to pick just one I would probably go with the Roasted Almond variety just because I love almonds but you really can’t go wrong with any of the varieties available.

Thanks to Nature Valley a General Mills Company, you can enter to win a Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters “Snack Pack” prize pack that includes all four (4) varieties of the Granola Nut Clusters along with a sling backpack, stainless steel water bottle, flashlight and binoculars!

THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED!!!

General Mills has outdone themselves with the new Trix Swirls®. Or, was it all due to that Silly Rabbit? Trix Swirls combines two mouthwatering fruity colors into every fun puff that will satisfy kids´ taste buds and spark their creativity! A good source of calcium and vitamin D, the Trix Rabbit won´t be the only one who can´t resist these fruity combos, which include lemony green, berry berry blue, and rasporangey orange!

trix_swirls

We LOVE this cereal. We have always loved Trix anyway but we like the swirls even better. The rasporangey orange is awesome. And they aren’t just for breakfast as far as we are concerned. They make a great snack for in the car…or anywhere else. But you will frequently find them being silly-rabbitsnacked on while we are on the road to Karate or any other activity we have going on that day. They need to make a MUCH bigger box though because the box only lasts 2 days in my house. Or maybe it is because that Silly Rabbit keeps invading them and eating them all. We need gargantuous box either way.

Thanks to  MyBlogSpark you have the opportunity to win a Trix Gift Set. 2 winners will be selected to receive a gift set that includes:

trix-swirls-medium* Trix Swirls Cereal
* Colorful Children’s Art Apron
* Set of Watercolor Pencils
* Set of Watercolor Paints
* Set of Watercolor Paint Brushes
* Sketchbook
* Art Supply Box

To Enter leave your suggestion of how you think Trix Swirls were created. EX: Did they collide and run together? Be creative but family friendly, this should get interesting.

All entries must be received by July 31st at 5PM EST. Entrants must have a valid US mailing address. Winners will be selected randomly and will have 3 days to respond to the verification e-mail before another winner will be chosen.
