MorningStar Farms
On my road to a healthier eating style, I have come across MorningStar Farms, a wonderful company that offers many alternatives to meat. I was recently invited by BzzAgent.com to join a campaign for MorningStar Farms in which they gave me discount coupons to try their products and share my findings with others through word of mouth and tastebuds. Not only are their products healthy and nutritious, they also offer a wide varieties of tastes and textures allowing one a massive template to create ones own culinary cookbook. Here is recipe I have used with MorningStar Farms products:

I have been a part of this yummy Bzz Campaign for Smartfoods snacks. An alternative snack company that offers yummy goodness without sacrificing heath. Their products use All natural ingredients, no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. They are free of Trans fats and use absolutely no MSG! Every one who knows me knows what a picky eater and label reader I am. I am here to tell you I actually enjoyed them. They did not sacrifice any flavor. They do use dairy in some of their products, which is something I usually steer away from. Over all, I like the flavor and feel safe with the ingredients. Give them a try!
