Trying Jimmy Dean Breakfast bowls

I love blogging, with that comes many opportunities to try new products and let my readers know how my family or I felt about the products. I am a member of The Insiders and I was picked to try out out these new breakfast bowls from JimmyDean. 

Our family is big on breakfast. What I mean by that is that is we can eat breakfast foods anytime of day or night, while almost never getting bored. There are just so many combinations. Yes we buy breakfast products like hash browns, eggs, sausage, bacon, veggies, pancake mixes, etc, but we don't often buy products that are made for the microwave. 

Don't get me wrong there are lots of great microwave meals we have tried and use regularly throughout the year we just prefer making things from scratch. Our family has been through the ringer for the last year and half  so convenience has been the necessity due to circumstances beyond our control. 

During the whole time we never got around to trying out the JimmyDean Breakfast Bowls, not sure how, because I know we looked at them tons of times, but money was tight so we always said next time. 

Now that we have had time to settle somewhat back into our regular routine we were able to try the JimmyDean Breakfast Bowls out in three different varieties Burrito Breakfast Bowl, Ranchero Steak & Eggs Bowl, and Loaded Potato Breakfast Bowl.

Loaded Potato Breakfast bowl was probably my favorite due to the bacon that was in it, followed by Burrito Breakfast Bowl, and then Ranchero Steak & Eggs Bowl. What I loved about the Burrito Breakfast Bowl was that the beans did not over power the dish. There were just enough to give it that burrito taste with firm beans instead mushy re-fried beans. The Ranchero Steak & Eggs Bowl was by far my husbands favorite. JimmyDean had him at Steak. 

 These are all quick and easy to make, Great for quick breakfast solutions or when you are on your own but don't want to make a big mess in the kitchen. Great for bloggers like me when the rest of the family is out and about.

Perfectly Round eggs and pancakes

We are a breakfast family so we like to change it up quite often from sandwiches to a full out buffett depending on how many of the family are present. My girls love round eggs for sandwiches and round pancakes for breakfast. 

With a silicone egg round like these from ABAM you can have perfectly round eggs or pancakes. You can even use scrambled eggs and add your own fillings to make tiny omelets for sandwiches too. 

Easy to use just spray mold before use, apply slight pressure when you add egg or pancake mix, then when the ring moves easily, remove ring and flip. It really is that easy. 

The ABAM ring mold 4 pack is available at my affiliate link below.

Surviving the day with belVita Biscuits

My Story

Our family tried belVita Biscuits out about two years ago for the very first time. Me of course being the mom who likes to get the most for our family's buck, bought them on sale with a coupon for maximum savings, while also stocking up.

I had originally bought them for my children who are always rushed in the morning and sometimes need a quick breakfast to get them started for the day. What I found was that my whole family really enjoyed these and kept asking for more. I don't think there is a variety or flavor they don't like. I even gave them a whirl one day when I knew I had to be out and about all day long.

They travel well, and when eaten with fruit and a dairy product they provide 4 hours of steady nutritious energy. This is when I fell in love with belVita Biscuits myself. Being a busy on the go mother who also blogs, I often forget to feed myself when I am writing or out and about running errands. I learned just by popping belVita biscuits, fruit and a stick of frozen string cheese into my bag or placing them near my desk I was really keeping my energy flowing.

The belVita biscuits are also great for stashing in your car, diaper bag, backpack, gym bag, or sports bag for on the go snacks that will keep you going all day long. Just having them in my car saves the say when you pick up a hungry child after school. Surviving the day with belVita Biscuits is easy and nutritious, not to mention delicious

Shopping for belVita Biscuits is super easy at Walmart. Our local store has a sidekick or what some might consider a 4 way with the belVita Biscuit line but you can also find them in the Cracker Isle if your store does not have the display.








I am really excited to try out some of the new flavors below.
.

Flavor:

• belVita Breakfast Biscuit Bites in Cinnamon Brown Sugar (NEW)
• belVita Breakfast Biscuits in Toasted Coconut(NEW) or Blueberry
• belVita Breakfast Sandwiches in Strawberry Yogurt or Vanilla Yogurt (BOTH NEW)

belVita is also available in several other forms and flavors for all day snacking
• Biscuits- great for any morning
• Bites- great for on-the-go
• Sandwiches: savor the yummy creme inside


All of the new flavors from belVita Biscuits that I tried are a hit with the whole family. My favorite way to start my day blogging is by having a bowl of yogurt with frozen fruit topped with crumbled toasted almost belVita biscuits.

You can easily crumble biscuits in bag and then pour on your fruit topped yogurt. A great way for a energy boost to keep me blogging right up to lunch time.





There is also a great ibotta offer available right now  (sign up with my ibotta code if you don't already have this app and gain 10.00)*subject to change without notice, as well as other opportunities when you return to your nearest participating Walmart on Saturday, January 7th or Sunday, January 8th for a special belVita  Biscuits Breakfast in-store event.

Breakfast in a hurry

Making ahead breakfast is one way we combat being busy as well as me having Fibromyalgia. On a good day we try to put away different food that are easy to prepare on our busy and my bad days which seem to be more often again.

I want to make sure the kids have good food and one way to do this is by putting breakfast sandwiches together that my children can just heat up quickly and go on their way to school. These make perfect round eggs for english muffin sandwiches.

You can even scramble your eggs, adding in onions, peppers, or cheese, Yummy. So versatile. These Silicon Ring molds work so much better then my old metal egg molds. The metal kind has dings, dents, and really do not resemble a circle at all anymore.

These are great for eggs, pancakes, hash browns, etc. Even though they don't call of it I always mist mine just on precaution. So far all of our eggs have come out well. These rings also clean up quickly and hot soapy water, no more scrubbing which I am very thankful.

You find these Ring Molds on Amazon.
