Are you a fan of [me] and goji on Facebook yet? NO? Why not? This is a brand that deserves to grow!  When Alexander told us about their goal to reach 25,000 Facebook fans, we said we’d help spread the word.  [Me] and goji is still one of our favorite gift ideas so when they offered us another canister in exchange for telling you guys about their goal, we said yes right away. Join their group to get news, insight into their sweet company, and special promotions, and then hop on over to [me] and goji to get a great gift for yourself or someone you love. It’s unique, it’s healthy, it’s attractive (you can put a picture of yourself on the slick canister now), and it tastes good. If creating your own unique mix overwhelms you, check out their recommendations page for already-created mixes that sound delicious. Eat up!

P.S. [me] and goji gave us some cereal for free.

We tried Vanilla Bean, Simply S’Mores, and Caramel Swirl. My favorite Plush Puff was the Simply S’mores one! I didn’t like the Vanilla Bean one or the Caramel Swirl. I don’t like caramel! Liberty doesn’t like any kind of marshmallows! Maya pretty much liked them all and I think adults would like them.

I used Casa Di Bertacchi meatballs to make Open-Faced Meatball Subs from the book 101 Things to do with Meatballs by Stephanie Ashcraft.

The subs were super yummy! It was really easy to make them! We also made Teriyaki meatballs from the same cookbook, but they were disgusting.  The cookbook says the the seasonings in the meatballs don’t overpower the other flavors in the recipes, but that’s not true. When we made the Teriyaki meatballs we could taste the Italian seasoning in the meatballs, and it didn’t mix well with the teriyaki… Stick with Italian recipes with Italian meatballs or get non-Italian meatballs for non-Italian recipes.

SeaPak’s Tilapia Tenders are very good and it’s rare that i like them because i used to only like tuna! And everyone call Kroger and tell them to carry the Tilapia Tenders because right now we can’t buy them there! We can only buy them at Wal-Mart and that’s not where we shop! They are even better then tuna!! So buy them now!!! And go to SeaPak’s website for more info and recipes!

Rich Products sent us some coupons to try some of their yummy foods. Today we tried Farm Rich Mini Stuffed Pizza Slices. They were easy to make because all you do is take ‘em out of the freezer and put them in the  oven!! AND THEY’RE YUMMY!! Oh make sure you turn the oven on though.

Farm Rich has a bunch of other food too and we can’t wait to try all of it! They even have Mini Paninis and Mini Quesadillas. YUM! Kroger didn’t have them, but you can get them at Costco and places like that. We’re getting some for when we don’t have lots of time to make lunch! I hope we never have lots of time to make lunch!

Also, my mom tried some shrimp and salmon from SeaPak and she said it was good but I don’t believe her cuz I don’t like shrimp and salmon. I don’t like things like that. Only tuna. If you like that kind of thing, here’s what the company says about the Salmon Burgers, Salmon Fillets, and Ahi Tuna Steaks:

SeaPak’s “Seafood for the Grill” products are delicious, easy to prepare, and healthy.  Seafood, as you know is a great source of lean protein and essential Omega-3 fatty acids.  SeaPak prepares each product without additives or preservatives.  It is a terrific way for families to enjoy the all-natural benefits of seafood, the fun of home grilling, and the pleasure and pride of serving an impressive meal.

I like cereal. This cereal tastes good. I made it myself. hi

maya

(That was Maya. She told me what to type and then she typed “hi” and “Maya”)

Thanks to the nice people at MeandGoji.com, Maya got to make her own “custom artisanal cereal.” She chose from a bunch of different organic cereal bases (she chose granola) and then she added organic chocolate-covered cranberries, organic barley, 2 scoops of organic strawberries, and organic almonds!

I don’t like cereal, but I still have to write the review because Maya can’t. My mom is helping me. These are some things she wants me to tell you:

At first I thought it was weird to include cereal in our gift ideas, but it’s not. Look at their Holiday Mix. My mom said to say that that’s way better than a tin of nuts or something. And everybody is trying to be healthier all the time so this would be a good gift.

My mom ate some with organic yogurt and then she wasn’t hungry for hours!

It’s not a very good present for a kid, but a kid could give it to a grown-up. My mom would like it for a present.

The company gives some of its money to Pink Door, which helps breast cancer survivors. Also, the company was started by three friends who care about the environment and being healthy. This is from their site:

eating raw foods means eating things nature intended, the way nature intended. our fruits are not freeze-dried like most store-bought cereals. freeze-drying is a process that damages the nutritional make-up of the fruit, depletes vitamins and kills the taste.

the only foods worthy of our unique cereal capsule are energy packed, nutrient dense whole foods straight from nature, not chemists. our pure and organic ingredients boast health-enhancing weapons, a bullying history of beating down free radicals and invigorating legends of age defying properties. kapow!

we like to think of ourselves as the hottest new hybrid on the road: part cereal, part muesli, part fruit salad…can’t go wrong! most of the foods we offer are raw.

just add [local] milk, [organic] yogurt, [vermont] maple syrup, [raw] honey or eat it plain, as nature intended.

try our raw 5-grain muesli base for a 100% raw feast with healthy living enzymes and untouched vitamins and minerals. it’s like the sushi of cereal! okay, bad analogy…

Go make your own cereal! But first, win a $20 gift certificate to MeandGoji.com! All you have to do is link to us on your blog (or a message board or myspace or facebook or twitter [if you don't have any of those things, we can work something out]) and then leave a comment telling us where you linked to us. That will really help us get the word out about MeandGoji.com. We’ll leave this contest open until Sunday, November 23rd at 4:00pm.

This video isn’t really a review, but Choconilla Rice Krispies is my favorite cereal right now. My mom wants me to tell kids that it’s not an all-the-time snack. And it shouldn’t be the only thing you eat for breakfast. But it’s sooooooooooo good! I wish we had some right now!
