Foolproof Shopping with the New Health Key™ System at #MyCopps + Crock-Pot Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

#cbias #shopWell, here we are, the 5th of January and I’m sure you are all wondering how our clean eating is going so far this year.  I have to admit, I thought it was going to be really hard but so far, we are doing pretty good.  This past Friday night, Alex and I thought it would be best to take an hour to ourselves and head to Copps to stock up on the basics for a few meals since we are experiencing some severe weather here. Who wants to leave the house when it is going to be -20 to -55* F outside? Not this mom!

Since we are eating clean these days, the new health key™ system at Copps makes it easy for us to locate the products we need.  I am doing my best to shop for items that are organic, gluten free and stocking up on as much fresh produce as possible.

The new health key system makes it so much easier to shop for the products that your family needs. Since our family is trying to eat cleaner, we look for items that are fresh, organic and sometimes even gluten free and vegan. I am also a huge fan of the new system because it makes it easier for Alex to go to the store and pick up the items on the list as well….it’s foolproof!

Not only does the new health key™ system at Copps make shopping easier, it also helps us make better choices and stick to our plan to eat clean in 2014.  To be able to walk up and down the aisles and see products clearly labeled means I don’t have to sit and read ingredients on bottles anymore!

Since we are freezing here in Wisconsin, we decided to create some dishes that will keep our family warm over the next few days.  When we get cold, we like to turn to a nice warm bowl of soup to warm us back up and soup is also a dish that the whole family enjoys.

With some fresh, organic produce from Copps along with some organic spices and free range chicken, Roundy’s Organic Rotelle pasta (and a few other items) we created some delicious Crock-Pot Chicken Noodle Soup that the entire family LOVED!

You can easily recreate this dish in your home by grabbing the recipe below and hitting your local Copps store for ingredients!

Eating Right with the Pick ‘n Save Health Key System + Chicken Veggie Slaw Recipe

As I mentioned earlier this week, we, as a family, are dedicating 2014 to getting healthy.  Planning meals and shopping for the neccessary items and ingredients can be a very daunting task when trying new things.  For me, I have always had a hard time trying to dechipher which product was better than the other among the varieties sitting on the shelf in the grocery store.  Thanks to Pick ‘n Save and their new Health Key System, our shopping trips are much easier and we are able to make better food choices.

The Pick ‘n Save Health Key System makes it easier for you to find what you are looking for and make better food choices by clearly labeling items throughout the store so you know if they are Organic, Vegan, Gluten Free and more including products marked as Low Sodium, No Lactose and the list goes on.  

I really like the new labeling system and find that it not only helps me make better choices when shopping but it also saves me a lot of time when picking and choosing products that are right for our family.

In addition to the Health Key System, Pick ‘n Save has also made shopping easier for us with their Fresh Every Day initiative. Knowing that we can get fresh produce every day from our local grocery store makes this mom very happy and I’m even happier when some of it is locally grown!

On our most recent shopping trip, we picked up some fresh produce along with some Roundy’s Fresh All Natural Hand Trimmed Chicken Thin Sliced Breast Cutlets and some bottles of vinaigrette to whip up a fresh and healthy dinner for the family.

Our dinner started with dicing up a red onion, cucumber, 2 roma tomatoes and 2 avocados. From their, we tossed all of the fresh diced veggies in a bowl while grilling up our thin sliced breast cutlets on our George Foreman grill.  Once the chicken was done, we diced that up as well, laid out a bed of fresh greens, sprinkled on some of our Chicken Veggie Slaw along with a drizzle of vinaigrette and our dinner was born!

This meal was easy to make and there was more than enough for our entire family.  I love that it is such a versatile dish that it can be eaten on a bed of greens, in a tortilla or pita or you can even eat it as a dip and use crakers or chips.

Create Your Own LEGO Minifigure Family

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

Are you looking for a creative way to share holiday greetings this season?  Since I spend so much time online and have a large online family, I always like to create a separate digital greeting to share with those that I care about on the internet.  

This year, thanks to LEGO and their awesome LEGO Minifigure Family website, I have created a totally awesome holiday card!

Seriously, can it be any cooler?  Our entire family as LEGO people! I can’t wait to share it with the world!

Creating your own card is super easy too.  You can customize skin tone, facial expressions, clothing, background and greeting.  This awesome card didn’t even take me 10 minutes to create and honestly, it probably would have been less but I had to play with all the different backgrounds and outfits just to see all the different choices.

I just love each of our LEGO Minifugres and how they really do capture each of us so well, even the dog!

Head on over and create your own LEGO Minifigure Family!  I would love for you to share your image on The Megalomaniac Mommy Facebook page so I can see your creation and we can have a big online card exchange!
