Thank you Fruttare for sponsoring this post. Bite into the bright side with Fruttare, a new line of delicious frozen fruit bars bursting with real fruit taste now in stores.

Recently we were given the opportunity to bite into the bright side with Fruttare, a new line of delicious frozen fruit bars bursting with real fruit taste.  With so many delicious flavors to choose from, we had a hard time deciding which to try first.  Here are some of the mouthwatering flavors:

• Fruttare Fruit and Milk Bars are made with creamy milk and real fruit, and are available in four varieties – Strawberry and Milk, Coconut and Milk, Banana and Milk and Peach and Milk.
• Fruttare Fruit and Juice Bars are made with real fruit and refreshing juice, and are available in four varieties – Strawberry, Mango, Orange and Lime.

We chose strawberry, and it was perfectly refreshing after a long day of playing in the heat.  While it tastes like a splurge, Fruttare’s strawberry frozen fruit bar comes in at only 60 calories.  Gotta love a delicious sweet treat that is also diet-friendly!  Adam has embraced his bite into the bright side and told me he wants to try the Coconut and Milk flavor next.  I’m looking forward to trying Mango!

Happy Pi Day!  Today is March 14 (i.e., 3.14).  A day to celebrate math and the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter…by indulging in pie!  Since I already shared a savory pie with you, now it’s time for a sweet one.  There’s no rule against having pie twice in one day (or even one meal)…especially on Pi Day!

Since I didn’t have time to make a my own sweet pie, I jumped at the opportunity to try a Marie Callender’s pie.  The biggest challenge here was selecting which flavor we wanted!  It was a tough decision given all of the tempting fruit and cream pies available (they offer savory pot pies too, but I definitely wanted sweet).   I decided to go with a common flavor that I’ve never had before – Coconut Cream Pie.  (The Banana Cream Pie was a close second).  Of course, we had to sample the pie before actual Pi Day…just to be sure.  We enjoyed every bite of this pie while pondering the ins and outs of Pi (or perhaps we were just pondering another slice of pie!)

While eating pie is everybody’s favorite activity to celebrate Pi, visit Marie Callender’s blog for several neat Pi-related activies, as well as other party ideas, how-to’s and more.

In general, people consider me a trustworthy person ~ especially with their secrets. I’m always good to keep a secret. Well, almost always, unless for some reason disclosing a secret would be for the greater good…like now. The Green Giant has a very giant surprise that I must share with you!

We sampled the Multigrain Sweet Potato Chips with Sea Salt and the Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips (Zesty Cheddar flavor). I’m a huge sweet potato fan and less fond of flavored chips, so I assumed my preference would fall accordingly. While I did enjoy the sweet potato chips, the veggie tortilla chips were by far my favorite. Adam loved the sweet potato chips. So I saved the sweet potato chips for him and used the rest of the tortilla chips in a tasty recipe (after eating several chips, of course) to be shared soon.

In the meantime, here are some fun facts about the chips:
