The no-hassle delivery of fresh food straight to your front door trend seems to have begun with CSA and has now sprouted into a creative way to discover and explore new brands, ingredients, and more.

These are also an awesome gift to give a friend or family member (Mother’s Day anyone??). It’s the gift that literally keeps on giving!

With a Bestowed membership, you will get 5+ new healthy living products to try each month – each one hand picked by nutritionist and author Heather Bauer.

It’s not just food in these boxes though! Our box came with a $25 gift card to iTrain so we could download work programs to watch at home.

So, do want a Bestowed box of your own? Smile

Treat Yourself or a Friend {a*pour toi giveaway}

by Chrissy

apourtoi_LYK5

Who doesn’t love a box of goodies arriving by mail? The answer is simple; EVERYONE loves a parcel full of tasty treats.

apourtoi_LYK6

Although this type of product seems to be an up-and-coming trend (Birchbox, Naturebox, etc..), there are several positives about a*pour toi boxes, which are filled with full-sized, top-notch products.

apourtoi_LYK1

Julie Hasson, the Founder of a*pour toi, describes this product as “gifting with care”, and we love it!

She has a wonderful story behind the box and you can read all about it here but we’d love to talk about the goodies inside!

apourtoi_LYK4

All natural ingredients, no trans fats, no preservatives or artificial flavors. That right there is the way to snack, and treat yourself to some sweets.

Here was the January box lineup:

*Mia Dolci’s Chocolate Vanilla Swirl Crisps: lightly sweet, crispy and great for tea time.

*CiCi’s Italian Butterhorns: light buttery dough wrapped up with cinnamon, sugar and walnuts. It’s perfect with coffee or tea, or served as a desert.

*Almondina’s Dark Chocolate Dipped biscuits: a light, tasty snack or slightly sweet dessert.

*Roy Rene’s Calisson d’Aix: made up of finely ground sweet almonds, melon and orange peel, over wafers, topped with royal icing. Traditional French candies, that were a must for the debut box! WHOA.

*Biscuiterie de Provence’s Aristocades: gluten free and all natural, these crisp, melon flavored biscuits are a French favorite.

*Truffles: light on the sugar, these truffles are rich, creamy and you will find that a little bit goes a long way. Indulge!

*White Chocolate Covered Pistachios: These little morsels are the perfectly sweet pick-me-up.

A balanced diet and lifestyle are always important factors to stress-free living and a joyful demeanor. So, eat healthy, indulge on occasion, and treat yourself or others with a gift like this one!

Happy Blogiversary LYK Part 2: CORE Foods Giveaway!

by Lauren

IMG_6939

There are a few items on the agenda today. First up, Chrissy ROCKED it at the Whole Foods Clash of the Cooks.

Only one of us could cook in the Chopped-like challenge; despite being a man down, she did so great! Here’s the rundown of the event and the exciting results…

She had $50 to shop in Whole Foods and collect any other items she needed for the dish and 1 hour total to prep, shop, and cook.

Her secret ingredients were:
Creamed Corn
Basil
Skirt Steak
Frozen Green Garbanzo Beans

What?! That was our reaction.

(^ Chrissy’s game face)

What is a green garbanzo (turns out, it’s a young garbanzo bean and can be used in cooking the same as the “normal” garbanzos) and how the heck is cream corn going to come together in a dish with it?

Gratefully, we had a few minutes to pow-wow beforehand, and we came up with the idea for her to make an authentic dish with some interesting twists.

Steak Pita with Basil Hummus and Creamed Corn Tzatziki

Anddd drumroll please…

She won 2nd place!

It was SO good and the judges clearly enjoyed every morsel. Congrats buddy!

Next up, a pretty darn awesome giveaway for one lucky reader.

In celebration of our 2 year anniversary as LYK and to thank ALL of you for being such amazing fans and loyal followers we partnered with CORE Foods for a giveaway.

We met the Core Foods team at Foodbuzz in October and worked a neat little deal out in order to provide you with a chance to win some of their bars!core foods

CORE foods is essentially a bowl of oatmeal on-the-go, so in bar form. I’ve been eating oatmeal for breakfast at work lately and I must say, sometimes I’m running a little bit behind and grabbing one of these bars would be way easier than prepping my homemade oatmeal and still just as healthy.

These flavors are also far better than the oats with cranberries and cinnamon that I’ve been whipping up lately.

Did I mention that this company is a nonprofit?? They are simply out there reppin’ healthy, wholesome foods because it’s the right thing to do. The public’s health is their priority which we think that is SO rad.

core foods 2

There are two options for the Core Foods bars, Warrior (with whey protein) or Defender (vegan).

So how exactly can you win a pack of these beauties? You can win your choice of a Warrior or Defender mix pack (3 meals!) by:

1. Commenting on this post to tell us whether you would like to try a Warrior Mixed Pack or a Defender Mixed Pack! Protein or Vegan???

For additional entries, leave a comment telling us you…

2. Like the LYK and CORE Foods on Facebook and leave a comment saying you did.

3. Follow LYK and Core Foods on Twitter and leave a comment saying you did.

Good luck!

This giveaway is sponsored by CORE Foods but we would never give you anything we didn’t enjoy :) . Open to all U.S. residents. Winner will be chosen on Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 8 p.m.

From the Little Yellow Kitchen,

Lauren
