Organic Valley American Cheese Sampling!

This afternoon we headed over to the Whole Foods in Schaumburg because Organic Valley was there sampling their new American cheese.  They're serving it up in toasted cheese sandwiches.  It tastes amazing!  Much better than the processed stuff you grew up with.

You can also get a fancy photo taken.  I chose to lift up a cow with one finger!  That's probably the only time I'll ever get a photo like this.

If you're not busy this weekend, Organic Valley is going to be in the following locations:

Saturday October 20, 2012

Whole Foods Naperville  10:30 am - 1:30 pm

Brookhaven Marketplace in Burr Ridge  3:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Sunday October 21, 2012

Whole Foods Market South Loop Chicago 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

Definitely stop by to say hi and have some amazing grilled cheese sandwiches.  Jason was doing photos when we were there and he was awesome!   From what I can tell online these look like the last stops on the tour.

Zevia All Natural Soda Review + Giveaway!!

I was lucky enough a couple of weeks ago to get to try Zevia through a friend of mine.  And while I'm not a soda drinker (pretty much ever) its really great.  Since I liked it so much, that I contacted Zevia to see if they would be willing to host a giveaway on my blog.  And guess what???  They said yes!!  But more on that later.

Zevia is sweetened with Stevia which makes it all natural and zero calories.  You truly can't beat that in a soda.  I mean diet sodas and the new zero sodas are sweetened with all kinds of artificial stuff.  And that really can't be a great thing to be adding to your body all the time.  Zevia being sweetened this way also makes it a great choice for diabetics, those on a diet or just those wanting to watch the amount of sugar in their diets. 

 Zevia has 12 different flavors and by now I've tried most of them.  Zevia is always best when cold and straight from the can.  It can go flat quickly if you pour it into a glass.  My favorite way to have Zevia is the ginger root beer in a glass with a scoop of egg nog ice cream on top.  Absolutely delicious!!  And yeah while it does get a little flat when I make a float the ice cream totally makes up for it.  :)  The rest of the family is quite fond of it too.  So far the ginger ale, black cherry and grapefruit citrus are the big flavor winners at my house.

Zevia is available in 6 packs at Whole Foods and a host of other retailers.  As far as I can tell my local Whole Foods carries all 12 flavors.  So hopefully yours does too.  :)

And now on to the giveaway!!  Zevia was kind enough to send me a coupon for a free 6-pack to giveaway.  Giveaway open to US entries only.
