Walgreens promo

Not only is eating your fruits and vegetables good for you, so is taking care of your health which includes taking all your vitamins and prescriptions each month!

For those that do not have insurance and spend out of pocket cash on your prescriptions, Walgreens offers a way to save money on both brand name and generic prescriptions with their Walgreens Prescription Savings Club. With this promotion, you can sign up your family for only $10. As a member, you will receive savings on more than 8,000 brand name and all generic medications.

For me, I prefer Walgreens over most of the other pharmacies because my local Walgreens is open 24 hours and even offers a drive-thru service. When I need medicine in the middle of the night, I always know I can count on Walgreens to be open, even on the holidays.

For those that are affected by the Walgreens and Express Script disruption of service last month, this might be a great way to save money if you are now paying out of pocket costs if you choose to keep refilling at Walgreens.

Remember, this promotion is only good this month! For more information, please find:

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Schar for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

While I am not on any special diet, I do often find myself buying products that are gluten-free. If you are a fan of bread and like to restrict the gluten in your diet, you are going to want to take a peek at the Schar products.

If you are familiar with Schar, they have recently re-launched their Sub Sandwich Rolls, Ciabatta Rolls and their Baguettes. Schar offers a taste of Italy right from their oven with their light, fluffy and flavoriful ciabatta rolls. They also have a gluten-free baguette that many enjoy as an addition to their meal. These baguettes are known to be crispy on the outside and nice and tender on the inside. I LOVE baguettes!

Schar is one of the leaders in gluten-free food products and are offering a free sample to the first 2,000 members that join the Schar club and request a free sample. To get a free sample, sign up for the Schar club, then find the column that is titled “toolbox” under that column and then look for the “Giveaways” option. Once you click that link, you will be taken to the page to order your free sample.

What will you make with your free sample?

Sunkist Lemon Seafood Paella Recipe

October 25, 2011 By Stefani Leave a Comment

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sunkist S’alternative for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

When it comes to cooking, I often use salt. I might even use more than I should because I like the flavor that it can bring to my food.

Did you know that you can use a freshly squeezed lemon as an alternative to salt?

I am going to take the S’alternative!

Sunkist S’alternative is using fresh-squeezed Sunkist® lemons as a healthy sodium-free alternative to salt. Using Sunkist lemons as an alternative to salt can help reduce sodium, increase potassium and enhance the flavor of recipes.

According to the Sunkist Sodium Quiz I am a Shake & Baker!

You’re a culinary Columbus, in search of new frontiers in flavor. You tend to choose meals high in sodium, driven by the intensity. It’s fun to seek the savory but getting turbocharged taste doesn’t mean you have to ignore sodium. Get the high-flying taste you crave without the sodium when you substitute Sunkist lemons for salt. You’ll find bold flavor and surprising health benefits. No pain, no grain, just fresh, zesty adventures in food and drink!

Be sure to visit the Sunkist Facebook page to take the Sunkist Sodium Quiz too! Looking to try using lemon as an alternative? Be sure to check out this yummy recipe below for Sunkis Lemon Seafood Paella:

Ingredients:

1- 32 oz can low sodium vegetable broth
1 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon saffron threads
1lb. of firm, fresh pieces of whitefish such as tilapia, bass, halibut and swordfish, cut into 16-21 pieces
1lb. or 16-21 mussels, cleaned and de-bearded
1lb. or 16-21 medium sized clams, rinsed
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 Sunkist® lemons, zest and juice
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup minced onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
3 cups uncooked short-grain rice such as Valencian, Arborio, or Calrose
1 cup frozen green peas
1- 8oz jar of sliced, roasted red peppers

Directions:

To prepare broth, combine all the ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat.
To prepare paella, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large paella pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish pieces to pan and sauté 1 minute. Remove fish from pan, reserve and keep warm. Add onion to pan and sauté 5 minutes. Add the lemon zest, garlic and crushed red pepper and cook 5 minutes. Add rice and cook 1 minute longer, stirring constantly. Stir in broth, bring to a low boil and cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in the peas and red pepper slices. Add mussels and clams to pan, nestling them into rice mixture. Cook 5 minutes or until shells open; discard any unopened shells. Stir in the reserved fish and chopped parsley and cook 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in lemon juice and check for seasoning. Cover with a towel and let stand 10 minutes before stirring.

Enjoy!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hass Avocado Board featuring Hass Avocados for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

When it comes to food that grows on trees, an avocado is definitely on of my favorites. I just wish they weren’t so expensive to buy sometimes when I am grocery shopping. When I find them on sale, I love making my own homemade guacamole and it can be added to so many different dishes.

Right now the Kick Off with Hass Avocados Recipe Contest is in full swing and I am thinking I should create a recipe that I can enter. Even if I didn’t win, it would be a good excuse to eat some guacamole. I took a peek and there is some delicious looking avocado recipes that have already been submitted.

The Grand Prize winner of the recipe contest will win a Round trip airfare, hotel accommodations, participation in a Rose Bowl Game® Welcome Reception, admission to the “behind-the-scene” Rose Bowl Parade® decorating site, sightseeing tour of Pasadena, admission to the Rose Bowl Game® on January 2. 2012 + more!

In addition to the recipe contest, you can also enter the Kick Off With Hass Avocados Avocado Giveaway to enter win a a box of Hass Avocados. Know that I already entered this giveaway because I am one what would really enjoy a free box of avocados.

Here are some fun avocado facts:

One-fifth of a medium avocado (1 oz.) has 50 calories and contributes nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, making it a nutrient-dense food choice.
Avocados contribute good fats to one’s diet.
Over 75% of the fat in avocados is unsaturated (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats), making them a great substitute for foods high in saturated fat.
