Look Who Sponsored Our Spring Refrigerator Makeover

With the arrival of spring, our family is deciding to not only get the spring cleaning done around the house, but to tweak the diet up a notch as well. My husband and I are always striving to have a healthy, well balanced diet. Along with everything else in life, however, it does need to be brushed up on occasion. Read on, Giveaway at end of post! :)

It really is incredible the difference in how you feel on a daily basis when you eat a nutritious, healthy, well balanced diet along with exercise. They really do go hand-in-hand. There are some awesome products in place to help with the diet transition.

My family was given an opportunity for a refrigerator turnover this week by ICBINB. As you can see, it was time for the weekly grocery run. You can see the middle row by the Brita is the carb shelf... pitas, bagels, tortillas.... No comments please on the lovely mega-jar of "light" mind you, Mayonnaise. Bobby Flay would be so proud! Seriously, that was a result of my fine Triples Coupon Days at Harris Teeters! And my ode to my Southern roots - think: pimento cheese sandwich, tuna salad, egg salad... that list goes on. Hey, I said "light" mayo y'all! (Just don't remind me of this post when I tweet out that I can't figure out why my weigh in is flat. :) So this now...

BEFORE



It's time. This time, however, the goal was to get a lot more fruits, vegetables and other healthier items for the week. We did replace our white flour tortillas with whole wheat ones. Also, reduced fat cheese slices are tasty and healthier.

The I Can't Believe It's Not Butter products are one incredible example of this. I just learned that there is canola oil and Omega 3 in the tub of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!! For those of you who do not like salmon (which we love), this is great news!



We have been fans of theirs for some time now. The ICBINB butter spray is absolutely phenomenal. It really rocks on popcorn, for those of us who love extra butter on that snack. Now we can enjoy it without the guilt!

AFTER



Yes, the Tigers helped reload the Refrigerator Makeover with me in about ten minutes flat before dinner! So do notice the content not so much the not-so-perfect stacking, etc. :)



It was awesome getting some ICBINB, to go with our asparagus and broccoli. A trick we have been using for a while is to use the spray on bread. (We try to go with wheat when possible). Part of our healthy kick has been to have lots of beans around. They can be used for a variety of chilies and things in the crock pot. We look forward to hosting our friends on Easter to a healthier cooked meal thanks to ICBINB.

Mountain Man has always said, "Everything in moderation."
His theory behind this is to not completely give up some of the unhealthier choices we crave, but to sparingly eat that kind of food. This trick also helps us not to crave the junk as much. Health, diet and exercises are very important to us, and it is wonderful that there are a lot of different ways today to help balance this crucial part of our everyday lives.
