***The giveaway has ended and you can see who won here.***

OK, Is there anyone else out there who raids there kid’s snack cabinet like it is going out of style? Sometimes I just can’t seem to resist some of the goodies they have in there! This is definitely not a good thing for me since my 2nd baby is now 6 months old and I am trying, and this is my new years resolution (of course), to lose my baby weight! Having all this tempting food around me all the time needs to stop…

A few weeks ago Popsicle sent me some very interesting and intriguing information that hit straight to home with me and I thought I would share it with you – along with a yummy giveaway of course!

*******************************************

When you’re hungry for a snack, do you find yourself heading for your kids’ stash in the pantry?

(Heck Yes!…OK back to the info!)

According to a recent survey* commissioned by Popsicle^®, nearly 80% of moms admit to breaking into their children’s arsenal of snacks and desserts. Because of this, the survey revealed that the foods moms try most to avoid having in the house are candy and baked goods.

The dessert dilemma that moms face is two-fold:

· Three in four moms agree it’s a challenge to find desserts and snacks the kids enjoy and that are not bad for them

· 60% of moms agree it’s tough to find desserts and snacks that satisfy both their kids and themselves

What you may not know is that there are snacks that both you and the kids will love! Popsicle and Fudgsicle offer a variety of better-for-you treats, including Low Fat Fudgsicle Triple Chocolate bars and Sugar Free Popsicle Tropicals ice pops.

OK, so I received a box of the Sugar Free Tropical ice pops, the Fudgsicle Triple Chocolate bars, and Klondike 100 Calorie treats and I honestly had to fight my son to try even one of each! These are so yummy you will not know you are eating something sugar free or low fat! I am pretty picky about my sweets but these satisfy both my 3 years sweet tooth and my own. Truthfully my son is a bit too attached to these. He asks for one when he wakes up in the morning and before he goes to bed at night and all the moments in between

I can’t recommend them enough especially if you can’t seem to kick that sweet tooth (like me) but you really want to lose some weight or simply be a little more healthy.

“Deal”icious Mom Attempts to Cook with Rosarita Salsa

You would think with a blog name like “Deal”icious Mom I would be able to cook like a pro, right? WRONG!

I am trying my best to become a better chef but it is a slow process. This week I was sent three bottles of new Rosarita salsa to sample. My family was so excited to have their mom in the kitchen cooking enchiladas!

Honestly, I was terrified to make them but it was actually quite easy. I simply put some chicken, onions and new Rosarita Salsa Verde salsa in the crock pot for 4 hours on high and left it. Then I came back and used this recipe to create some awesome enchiladas. I was so proud of myself!

Recipe for Enchiladas Verdes (Green Enchiladas)
Ingredients

• Pam Original Non Stick Cooking Spray
• 1 Jar (16.75 oz) Rosarita Medium Salsa Verde, Divided
• 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1 cup shredded Montgomery Jack cheese, divided
• 12 corn tortillas

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 F, Spray 13×9 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread 1/4 cup of the salsa over the bottom of the baking dish and set aside.
• Combine chicken, 1/2 cup of salsa and 1/2 cup of the cheese in a medium bowl, mix well and then set aside.
• Spray both side of each tortilla with cooking spray. Heat one at a time in a skillet over medium high heat until sides get puffy and softened.
• Top each tortilla evenly with about 1/4 cup of the chicken/cheese/salsa mixture and roll up. Place the seam side down in the prepared baking dish and cover them with the remaining salsa. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese melts and the sauce is bubbly.
• Top with salsa
• Sprinkle cheese/garnish with cream and avocadoes

The meal looked good, smelled good and you know what the real kicker was… my husband ate the left-overs the next day! So I know they were good!

Tomorrow for New Years I am going to make tostadas with the left over chicken from the crock pot with this recipe using the new Rosarita Hot Salsa Taquera. I think this will be the perfect meal to watch the Rose Bowl!

Recipe for Chicken Tostadas
Ingredients

• 2 cups of canned Rosarita refried beans
• Rosarita Salsa
• 2 packages tostadas (6-inch diameter)
• 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 4 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
• 1 cup Queso Fresco (fresh Mexican cheese)
• 1 large, firm ripe avocado, pared, pitted, sliced
• ½ cup sour cream

Directions

• Heat refried beans
• Spread onto tostadas
• Apply thin layer of shredded chicken
• Top with thin layer of lettuce
• Top with salsa
• Sprinkle cheese/garnish with cream and avocadoes

The new Rosarita salsa comes in three authentic flavors that range from mild to hot- Mild Salsa Mexicana, Medium Salsa Verde and Hot Salsa Taquera. The salsa will only be available in four cities — LA, Dallas, Phoenix, and Denver — at select Walmart and grocery stores. I found some at Ralphs and I noticed when I bought the Rosarita refried beans for the tostadas there were $1 off coupons for the new salsa on the cans so keep an eye out for those! The salsa ranges in price from $2.99 to $3.29 for a 16.75 oz jar.
