Francesco Rinaldi ToBe Healthy Pasta Sauce Review

Francesco Rinaldi ToBe Healthy pasta sauce is the first major line of pasta sauce fortified with DHA Omega 3, which is essential to heart health. We are always trying to eat healthy whenever possible and with a very picky toddler that isn't always easy. Pasta is one of the few things both boys will always eat. There's a great variety of pastas and sauces on the market today making them so versatile.

We had the opportunity to try Francesco Rinaldi ToBe Healthy Tomato Basil pasta sauce. I switched it out one night while making penne pasta. I usually make my own pasta sauce so the boys did noticed a change in flavor. I will be honest and say they didn't mind the new pasta flavor. The sauce was thick and rich, just the way we like it. It didn't have too much acidity from the tomatoes (why I always add a little sugar to my sauce) and a nice taste of basil mixed in (my favorite herb).

Francesco Rinaldi ToBe Healthy pasta sauce comes in four delicious flavors:
Tomato Basil
Garden Vegetable
Garlic & Onion
Spicy Marinara

You can purchase Francesco Rinaldi ToBe Healthy pasta sauces from their website or check out your local retailers. Francesco Rinaldi also has a recipe collection for their ToBe Healthy pasta sauces as well as all of their other products. It's great to look through when you need help coming up with dinner.

I received this product free of charge for review on my blog. No other compensation was received. All views and opinions are my own.

Teacher Gifts

I can't believe my sweet baby boy is finishing his first year of preschool tomorrow. J turned 4 in April so he will have another year of preschool before heading off to Kindergarten. I can't believe how fast time flies.

So I was trying to come up with teacher gifts for both of his teachers. I wanted to get them something useful yet still thoughtful. I remember reading somewhere about gifts to NOT get your teachers. Real teachers chimed in and two of the things that I always remembered, nothing with apples and nothing with your child's picture on it ha!


I took these two plain boring clipboards...

and turned them into this!

I did these designs on the back of the clipboards so that the bumps from the letters wouldn't get in the way when they were written on. I also included a bunch of cute colorful clips, clamps, pens and notepads for each of the teachers. I figured this is something practical that they could actually use and still thoughtful because they were personalized.

What do you think??
