Feeling Creative?

I wanted to share with you all a program that Rudi's Organic Bakery is running called Let's Doodle Lunch.

Through their Facebook page they are accepting uploads of kids art work (and let me tell you the gallery has got some very cool submissions).

There will be a contest and in the end some lucky children will have their art on the front of a sandwich box.

Pretty cool idea huh?

I think so, but then packing lunches in a cute way makes me excited...I might be a little weird.

Rudi's is working with The Lunch Box to help encourage more homemade lunches and to help children, grades K-12, to move away from processed foods.

What better way to encourage children to eat a homemade lunch than by eating from their own sandwich box adorned with their artwork.

So you've checked out the links above and now you are thinking "Man I wish I had some art supplies so I could create a sandwich box!"

I knew you were, so guess what?

One of my lucky readers is going to win this delightful art set (compliments of Rudi's):

In your package is included:

• sketch pad
• reusable bag
• beret (all artists need one)
• art set (includes paints, crayons, and markers)
• 2 coupons for Rudi's bread

Do you need some suggestions as to what bread to pick up with your coupons?

I would be more than happy to give you my two cents.

My favorite is the Rocky Mountain Sourdough and their newest addition to the Rudi's family the Multigrain Sandwich Flatz.

The sourdough has just the perfect "sourness" and it is soft and delicious to boot.  The flatz provide a reduced calorie option for sandwiches (at only 110 calories a piece), not to mention they have 24 grams of whole grains and 5 grams of fiber.

Should you be sensitive or allergic to gluten Rudi's does have a gluten free line to suit your needs as well (you must try the cinnamon raisin...YUM!).

Now that I have made you hungry for both bread and to make some art how about entering the giveaway.

A Mother's Day Lunch

Happy Mother's Day to you all

For my women readers you may not be a mother to a child but you may certainly have influence over some children OR maybe some pets.

Any which way I do just want to give a pat on the back to all of the women out there so that they know they are loved and appreciated.

I have been away from blogging for a little while so this post may be a little bit like learning to ride a bike again.

I took a little unintentional vacation from blogging as time just didn't seem to be available, however today that changes and I want to share with you a local restaurant that my mom and I visited this weekend in honor of Mother's Day.

The Celtic Fringe in Reidsville, NC.

A fantastic little pub serving some very delicious food.

I had the fish and chips (the fish was haddock and the fries were hand cut):

My mom chose the Welsh rarebit:

I forgot to take a picture of the delicious chocolate cake and strawberry shortcake, my apologies once I saw my cake I just had to dig right in...there was no time to get a camera out.

The service was wonderful and the atmosphere was something right out of Europe.

If you ever find yourself in small town Reidsville, NC make sure to make The Celtic Fringe one of your stops.

This was a great Mother's Day treat, and I hope my mom enjoyed going as much as I did.

It was kind of nice, even though I love my children, to have a meal without them and be able to carry on an actual adult conversation, and more importantly, with no interruptions.

So again Happy Mother's Day mom...I love you.

Happy 5th Birthday

Yesterday was my son Andrew's 5th birthday.

I don't know how the time has passed so quickly as it just seems like yesterday that you were so tiny.

You've gone from figuring out how to eat

To helping prepare food

I just want to say that you will always hold a special place in my heart.  And when the ladies come knocking at the door (because you are a miniature Paul Newman) I don't intend to make it easy for them.

I love you wild man
