Heart Healthy with Campbell's

How does your family stay heart healthy?  Do you run or walk together?  Play active games outdoors?  Wii Fit?  Cook good-for-you meals?

Health is foremost on people’s minds, keeping your family in tip top shape can be a challenge in these busy times. Campbell’s Soup wants you to “Address Your Heart” with Heart Healthy Tips, recipes and more!

Our family?  We love to ski in the winter!  We try to head out most weekends if possible.  When the weather is warmer, we do a weekly 5K club that runs or walks downtown, plus random hiking with the kids and the dog.  As a military guy, the husband gets plenty of daily exercise, while I opt for a 30 minute kick-boxing gym nearby.  We also *try* to eat healthier, which includes less eating out and more eating at home, since eating out is kind of our vice.  We're far from perfect, but I've noticed meal planning helps with the eating at home plan!

Visit AddressYourHeart.com to get heart-healthy tips, including 21 Campbell’s recipes that are certified by the AHA and product coupons, as well as Facebook.com/campbellskitchen for the latest Campbell’s recipes and offers.

Check out a few of amazing recipes for more heart-healthy inspiration from Campbells!  I'm excited to try some of these, especially the creamy turkey and veggie lasagna!

The Book Thief DVD Giveaway

Based on the beloved best-selling book comes an “extremely moving” (Leonard Maltin, Indiewire) story of a girl who transforms the lives of those around her during World War II, Germany. When her mother can no longer care for her, Liesel (Sophie Nélisse) is adopted by a German couple (OSCAR® Winner Geoffrey Rush and OSCAR® Nominee Emily Watson).

Although she arrives illiterate, Liesel is encouraged to learn to read by her adoptive father. When the couple then takes in Max (Ben Schnetzer), a Jew hiding from Hitler’s army, Liesel befriends him. Ultimately, words and imagination provide the friends with an escape from the events unfolding around them in this extraordinary, acclaimed film directed by Brian Percival (Downton Abbey).

I read the book years ago and need to read it again so I can watch this!  There's also a great discussion guide, in case you do a family movie night or a book group viewing.

Speaking of that, want to win a copy of your own? Use the Rafflecopter below to enter!
