Congratulations, Nelsby! You were comment #310, which makes you a winner!

The contest is now closed, but stay tuned for more great reviews/giveaways!

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

This is a compensated review from BlogHer and SmartFood.

Have you tried the new SmartFood delightful snacks yet? They are simply scrumptious...and you want to know the best part? They are delicious AND healthy. How many times do those two words actually fit in the same sentence? SmartFood is the snack for women who want to indulge without feeling guilty. We've got enough guilt to deal with on a daily basis without adding food into the mix, right ladies?

Now before you write me off for calling Cranberry Almond, Honey Multigrain, and Chocolate Cookie Carmel Pecan popcorn clusters "healthy", let's look at the nutritional facts together.

Here's the label from my personal favorite, Cookie Caramel Pecan:

* 2g of fat

* 120 calories

* 5 grams of fiber (21%)

* 200mg of calcium (20%)

* No MSG

All in one whole package!

Fiber and calcium something we chicks can't get enough of!

Who knew nutrition could taste like caramel corn with chocolate?

SmartFood is the perfect hold-me-over for any woman. Working, Student, Mom, or Retired, we're all on the go. SmartFood grab and go packets make a having a sensible snack an easy option for once!

"Girls Night In" may never be the same again!

Sonja said...: Girls night is best with a chick flick, freshly popped popcorn (not microwaved), a comfy couch, a friend or 2 and a diet coke. A side of chocolate always adds a nice touch ;0) Kids in bed, or gone from the house is a must for maximum enjoyment!

Joanna on June 16, 2009 at 3:42 PM said...: I've got weird friends, I guess. when we get together, we can all sorts of things... green beans, pickles, beef stew... we experiment. There's a lot of "doing" time as well as "waiting" time, all in the same small space of the kitchen. And, at the end of the night, we have something to show for our work- food to feed our family for months to come!

Anonymous said...: Girls nights are my FAVORITE!!! :) They make me so happy because its like medicine for your soul/body everything. When we have girl nights we always gather at a friends house have a couple of movies picked out to watch (most of the time they are put in but never watched because we just talk/laugh and everything in between haha!!) We normally dont have anything planned and just let it go as it happens. Normally we have lots of food (these smartsnacks sound like something we should try next time),lots of laughs and catching up with everyone.

We start with mani-pedi's, pop some popcorn, put a movie in (the last one we watched was Bride Wars) and just relax. I so hope and pray that my sweet little girl won't outgrow our mommy daughter girls nights in and that we can continue to do this for years on in. (Maybe next time I'll incorporate these yummy healthy snacks instead of popcorn :)

Typically if I get a night 'off' I am not spending it IN, I am going OUT! Typically to dinner and drinks with girlfriends - no prep, no clean up, no pre-planning other than picking the time and place - it is a win-win for all!!!

We are all mom's of young children, so we always get together after the little ones have gone to bed. We eat, laugh, and talk about EVERYTHING - kids, marriage, God, struggles and triumphs! I love my hens! :)

christina on June 19, 2009 at 3:28 PM said...: Girls night in for me is one of two things: gossip, gossip, gossip OR gossip, combined with great girly drinks and wine, easy (and healthy!) food, all while sitting around a fire in the winter or out on the patio in the summer. Girls nights are the best!!

phishstyx on June 22, 2009 at 6:52 PM said...: Depends how many girls. I like Movie Night with 2 or 3 gals. Spa Night, is great too.

But with a larger crowd, definitely Impromptu Supper. Each gal brings an ingredient. We look at what we have and figure out several courses to make. We've got a couple snide types who try to bring unusual ingredients or things they think won't work. Their offerings are often the most fun. (Not necessarily the tastiest dishes, but definitely fun to argue about.)

It's apparently a confusing idea. Newbies often bring a bottle or a 6-pack, maybe they bring a prepared dish like it's a potluck and then, there are those who come empty-handed. But usually first-timers jump right in and have a great time discussing flavors and cuisine. Even if they "don't cook", everybody eats and most people love to talk about what they enjoy or dislike.

Madonna Cramer on June 27, 2009 at 10:54 PM said...: Girls Night In usually revolves around some sort of great non-cartoon or kid movie, great food either ordered in or we have made and shared, lots of talking before and after, and the opportunity to just be together and support each other.
Amy L on June 28, 2009 at 6:08 AM said...: Girls night in for me is when 1 or both of my daughters come over to watch a movie or Tv (Like our current favorite "So You Think You Can Dance") We make popcorn and have a great time.

September on June 29, 2009 at 9:42 AM said...: We celebrate with a whole girls weekend away in the mountains! We "say" that we're going to scrapbook nonstop for 4 days, but in reality, we talk, eat, scrapbook, snack, go to the beach, get pedicures, (no manicures, those would give away that we didn't spend ALL our waking time scrapping!), hike, sit in the sun, and enjoy each other's company. We often end up praying for one or another of our group who is down or ill, and end up having a wonderful, very fulfilling weekend of girlfriendship. :) It doesn't get any better!

Thanks for the chance to win!
