6/11/09 Contest Closed~ Thank you for entereing!

If you've read our blog for any amount of time you'll know that we don't just talk about our nest. Our mission and the filter that we run all of our products through; is "does it nurture"? We love to talk about other companies who have similar mission statements! Stonyfield Farms is not only on a mission to nurture; we think they are leaders in the organic market!

Take some time to read their story ( bring tissue).

Stonyfield Farms has given us another opportunity to share with our readers, our fiends about their new product line and a chance to win goodies.

YoBaby Yogurt has a new look and improved nutrition…and it still has the same great taste! My babies got off to a great start with StonyField yogurt six years ago! YoBaby was the only brand I would buy and the only yogurt my girls would eat. What can I say? They've got good taste for yummy food.

It’s Greek to me… (review & giveaway) OVER

Giveaway Closed- I will post the winners by March 13th

A few weeks ago, Donna asked me to do a review for the Perch, and being the good friend that I am, I agreed. Twist my arm. Eat my most favorite food on the planet, made by a company I adore, and then share my adoration with the world… no problem! But I’ve had trouble writing this post, seriously. I get emotional, I swoon, I want to go on and on and on. So forgive me in advance…

First, I can’t say enough about my love of Stonyfield Farms, their dedication to people and planet, their perseverance & commitment to their inspiring business model (really, when I feel like Blessed Nest is a pipe dream that won’t survive the obstacles that keep coming at us, I read their story and I am moved to tears). Add to that their unbelievably delicious, affordable organic products and it defies reason. Am I gushing? I can’t help it… in times like these (or any times, really) doesn’t it feel better to spend your money on quality products made by exceptional people (and happy cows!)? I think so!

But I digress. This is a public service announcement, after all, and I have a job to do. There may actually be a few people out there who have not tried (perish the thought) Oikos Greek Yogurt, and have no idea why their lives seem so empty. Is that you? Well, sister, hold on to your hat… your life is about to change.

Imagine a world where brownies make you skinny, chubby legs are darling well into adulthood and 40 really is the new 30. This mystical place must be named Greece, because sitting on your supermarket shelf right now is the most divine substance called Greek Yogurt. It is rich and creamy (like cheesecake) and so tart and tangy it’s almost sassy. It has twice the protein of regular yogurt (and fewer carbs), and (you’d better be holding on, don’t say I didn’t warn you!) it has NO FAT and 90 tiny little calories per 5.3oz serving! And the thing is, that’s not one of those “fun sized” servings that leaves you feeling cheated. It’s hearty, delicious and totally satisfying… add some fruit and a little honey and you’ll feel like you’re breaking the law. (they even make it easy by adding natural flavors like vanilla, honey and blueberry… geniuses.) Did you forget that it’s made by Stonyfield Farms, so it’s also organic and comes from family diary farms? Really, I would not lie to you about something like that.

And get this: swap it for cream cheese, milk, sour cream, even buttermilk in your favorite recipe and you’ll have the neighbors calling you a liar at your next block party, when you show up with the fat free dip. Need that birthday cake to be gluten free? No need to deprive anyone of the joy of frosting, just whip some Oikos up with a little honey and you’ll have Martha calling you for your recipe. (think carrot cake… mmmm) In fact, forget the cake. All you need is a spoon. (more attention-getting recipes here)

Greece must be magical. Maybe I can celebrate my <eh-hem> 3o^th birthday there & show off my adorable chubby legs!

(be warned, you will be subjected to more of my gushing about Stonyfield in the near future… you love it, I know you do)

Love, To the moon and back
