Denise's Lasagna Featuring Arla Dofino Havarti Cheese~

So I get this incredibly awesome campaign from Bzz Agent to review Arla Dofino cheeses which are out of this world.  They are well known for their Gouda; Havarti; Edam; Munster & Fontina cheese.  I found them in the gourmet end cap at Kroger's in Michigan.  Here is a link to  Other Locations .  Keep in mind that they may not be located alongside regular cheeses in the dairy section, because these are special you may have to ask for assistance.  I decided on trying the Havarti Cheese.  It makes for the most delicious, healthy snack that your family will ask for over and over.  My husband and I  melted the havarti cheese on crackers.  We loved this so much that I decided to try the Havarti cheese in our family favorite lasagna.  I will never make lasagna without Arla Dofino Haverti Cheese again, it is that stellar!  I take pride in that this is my recipe which I will share with you below (minus my secret spaghetti sauce recipe).
                                Denise's Lasagna
   Recipe for spaghetti sauce with meat
   1/2 lb of lasagna noodles
   1 tbs salt
   1 tbs olive oil
   1 lb of Arla Dofino Haverti Cheese slices
   1 lb ricotta cheese
   1/2 lb mozzarella cheese
   1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
   
    Cook noodles in boiling salted water until tender.  Drain and add oil.  Arrange in shallow 2 1/2 quart baking dish, making 3 layers each of cooked noodles; havarti cheese; ricotta cheese; mozzarella cheese; sauce and grated cheese.  Bake in oven at 325 degrees for 45 minutes.  Let cool before serving.
Serve with hot rolls or Italian bread and butter.
Now that's Italian.  Your family will be begging for more.
With Arla Dofino Cheeses you can make nutritious meals all of the time and that get's an A+ from me!

Fiber One Protein CRANBERRY ALMOND Cereal, So Good You Will Think It's Dessert~

Have you ever had those cereals that were so packed with sugar that they were a turn off? General Mills got the natural sweetness down pat with their New Fiber One Protein Cranberry Almond Cereal.  In fact, it is so delicious that I have to remind myself that it's not dessert but a meal.  A definite plus is there is only 220 calories per serving and that it contains 20% of the daily fiber content we need.  Now with Valentine's Day right around the corner, which is my wedding anniversary...I've found the perfect way to celebrate that morning with my spouse.  Because of BzzAgent and General Mills I was able to taste this new cereal in exchange for my honest opinion.

Healthy Means Taste Great With General Mills New Fiber One Protein Cereal's

Being a Bzz Agent has it's perks such as receiving free boxes of the new General Mills Fiber One Protein Cereals in exchange for my honest review.  Noone knows better than my family that this mom has a sweet tooth and healthy foods don't generally turn me on.  Not until I tried the New Fiber One Protein Cereal Maple Brown Sugar.  After my products arrived, I wasn't certain what to expect.  I was blown over after trying the Maple Brown Sugar.  Who would believe that something so healthy could tastes as awesome as well.  I love love love the taste, so much in fact that I not only eat it for my breakfast cereal but I have a couple handfuls at night when I need a sweet snack. Only two days into this campaign and more than half of my box is already gone.  That's ok, I'm planning on a long love affair with Fiber One Protein cereals.  For all of those out there who made their New Year's Resolution to watch their weight....this is a preferred treat for you.  Who say's that cereal can only be eaten in the morning.  At only 240 calories per cup, this is a better decision for lunch than those high fat and calorie sandwiches.  Finally I think I'll be able to reach my weight goals...Thanks to General Mills; Bzz Agent and Fiber One Protein Cereals.  Next to try and I should be posting about is the Cranberry Almond Fiber One Protein Cereal.  See you than~

More Rewards From Kroger for Buying Your Gift Cards There

Take it from me, KROGER's is where to buy those gift cards so you don't lost out on multiple rewards. I bought two of my granddaughter's Mp3 players for Christmas and the majority of teenager's use iTunes to download their music.  So, of course, this grandmother had to get this accessory for both of the girl's.  Before I went to Kroger's I checked out their website and found out that buying them with Kroger's coupon gave me Save $10.00 on Groceries When you buy either TWO (2) $25 iTunes Gift Cards or TWO (2) $25 iTunes App Gift Cards.

Garnier Olia Gets Rid of Resistant Grays

Being a Bzz Agent definitely has it's perks.  I was given the awesome opportunity to try out Garnier's new Olia  Hair Care in exchange for my honest opinions.  At first, I had my doubts because I have stubborn, resistant gray hairs which are difficult even for the best hair stylist to cover completely.  I took the challenge expecting a negative result.  I was soon to find out that Garnier stands behind their promises.  Since pictures can say a thousand words, I have embedded them below to show my readers how my hair looked before and after using Garnier Olia.  Give me a few moments to elaborate on this wonderful product.  Garnier's Olia does not contain ammonia rather than that it uses 60% oil blend containing natural flower oils in the colorant.  Applying the solution is very easy and I found that leaving it in my hair an extra five minutes because of my resistant gray was the answer.  Not only was all the gray completely covered but the color was so vibrant and stunning.  I particularly enjoyed the silky feel of my locks and the incredibly low price for a product that actually works.  I must confess that this was my first experience with Garnier Hair Coloring and they have made a big fan out of me.  I've already stocked up on several more boxes to use in the future.  Note in the first photo below (Pre-Garnier Olia) how I have a lot of gray right in the front of my face which always made it difficult for me to pull my bangs off of my face.

And the final results which was a pleasant surprise~

Keeping it Real With Coricidin HBP

Having High Blood Pressure is no laughing matter, it is very serious and those with hypertension know as well as I how hard it is to find the right kind of medication to take when you don't feel well.  Most of the time we could only suffer through the miserable symptoms without any relief so when I was given the opportunity as a Bzz Agent to try their cold and flu tablets, I jumped at the chance.  Many factors weigh into my struggles with hypertension.  Not only did I inherit it from my grandfather and my dad but I also have a chronic painful disease.  The two conflicts keep me constantly aware of my condition and on my toes as to what I can eat or not eat and take without causing further problems.  Coricidin HBP was a miracle for me.  The past week I had been suffering with a runny nose and fever making it difficult to sleep.  After taking my first dosage of Coricidin HBP, I slept like a baby.  It was wonderful and my body sorely needed it.  I awoke refreshed and happy with energy I hadn't had in sometime.  Coricidin HBP carries a line of products geared for those with High Blood Pressure.  I'm elated over these awesome products and will gladly recommend to all those I know.
