I have always been a huge fan of Welch's, Carrington Farms and Go organically products. We buy these three brands every month. I was very excited to find out my daughter who is three loves Munk Pack Oatmeal Fruit Squeezes and my sons loved the protein packed cookies. Gaea was very new to me but just like many of the items I make currently. I love pickled products so this was one of my favorites. Explore Cuisine has amazing options to traditional pastas like their back bean sphaghetti. My family loved this! Be sure to explore and try new foods. You will find that going out of your comfort zone and trying healthier foods will not only be interesting for your families meals but also have its perks. The health benefits are enough for me but your pallet will find new tastes and you will find new favorites.
