MorningStar Farms More Ways to Eat Smart Party

A big thank you to MorningStar Farms and House Party for a great sampling event hosted by your truly MarksvilleandMe.

The box is here, what is inside?

Awesome! Reuseable grocery bags, hot mitt, Frisbee, coupons, and a apron.

Here is the bonus stuff laid out to see.

Here I am thinking about which burgers to try first.

I just picked up my MorningStar Farms veggie burgers the other day.

We decided on:

 Asian Veggie Patties which are sweet & spicy, with hints of chilies, garlic, and ginger.

100 calories a burger and cholesterol free.

Grillers California Turk'y which is a veggie turk'y burger with avocados & tomatoes.

100 calories a burger and also cholesterol free.

Last but not least was the Meiterranean Chickpea which is a veggies style burger made with chickpeas, spinach, and roma tomatoes.

110 calories a burger.

Here is a picture of the boxes. Don't worry about the small size because they are big on taste.

I was very excited to see that they picked up the grill marks from our inside grill.

A really good plus for me is that the clean up was a breeze.

Regular burgers leave a lot of grease to clean up while the MorningStar Farms Veggie Burgers were a quick soapy water wash with no scrubbing needed.

We decided on Veggie Burgers and Salad for dinner.

Above you see our lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and feta cheese .

Not pictures were the condiments, dressings, and olives.

Yummy Salad!

My husband the meat and potatoes man traded his double cheeseburger for a doubt veggie burger. 

His first veggie burger ever.

He says the MorningStar Farms burgers fell apart to easily, because all of the good stuff that keeps regular burgers together was missing!

He did eat them, but said he wouldn't buy them for the price they want, but if they were on sale and I had coupons then I could buy them again.

Here is my 6 year old having her first veggie burger with cheese and ketchup. 

She likes spicy but thought there were a little too spicy. 

Daddy finished her burger for her.

While not my first veggie burger I have to say that MorningStar Farms make a good burger. 

Sadly I agree with my husband unless they were on sale, and I had a coupon I don't see us buying them too often.

Overall our family enjoyed these and wouldn't mind eatting MorningStar Farms products again, but the price is a bit steep 

For our family this was a great no meat meal to go along with our weight loss efforts which you can read about over at Pam's fight to lose weight.

Terry Treetop and the lost Egg written by Tali Carmi

Send your kids on an adventure!

Terry Treetop books: Adventure & Education series

("Animal Habitats & Environment children's books collection")

This fun children's picture book is about a boy with red hair and freckles named Terry, yet everybody calls him Terry Treetop because he loves climbing trees.

Terry finds a small egg, and his quest is to bring it back home to its mom.

But where is the egg's home?

Does the egg belong to a turtle on the sand or a crocodile's spring water? 

Did it come from a frog in a pond or a chicken in the wild?

** Don't forget to Get your FREE GIFT **

Do your kids love to listen to stories about the habitat and environment of different kinds of animals?

Do your children like beautiful picture books?

Terry Treetop and the Lost Egg is a sweet children's book, written especially for you and your age 2- 6 children

with simple rhyming text and 18 colorful illustrations .

The story is suitable as a read aloud book for preschoolers or a self-read book for beginner readers children.

MarksvilleandMe Review

Terry Treetop and the Lost Egg is about a little boy who loves to climb trees. While climbing a  tree during a camping trip he spots an egg, and sets out on an adventure to return it to the rightful owner.

The illustrations were very cute. My 6 year old daughter Dorothy listened while I read this to her. She loves our Snuggle and Story time.

In 1st grade they learned a lot about animal habitats so this fit right in with what she had learned.

To be honest I learned a few things about habitats while reading this as well.

Kids love adventure, Terry Treetop and the Lost Egg delivered this in a fun and thoughtful way.

I would love to read more books like this with my daughter.

Dorothy is in between 1st and 2nd grade. Her favorite part of the book was the the happy ending.
