So, we were all just at our local natural foods store over the weekend (which admittedly happens to be a little fringe-elementish) and my husband was glaring at the frozen foods section in a an almost snore-like trance (he tends to zone out when it comes to food purchases) when all of a sudden he gleefully exclaimed “Look! Healthy Frozen Kids Meals!” I immediately thought, Oh no, he is just getting our son’s hopes up and surely whatever it was he spotted couldn’t possibly be healthy---especially if it was marketed to kids (remember, not everything in the natural foods stores is healthy!) but, I was wrong and he was right. Amy’s brand now makes frozen kids meals. We got the Baked Ziti, which came with broccoli and an apple dessert---I added more frozen broccoli to my son’s meal (see photo above) but other than that I really did just heat and serve. The blissful convenience of it all got me to thinking, what have I been missing all these years….

Hello,
While looking for blogs on food, wine and cheese topics, I came across your website and found it very interesting.
I’m emailing on behalf of Ile de France, a French cheese importing company
(Schratter Foods, since 1936). Their most popular and award winning cheeses
are the Ile de France Brie, Ile de France Goat and Ile de France Camembert.
(Ile de France Brie being the very first Brie imported to the US over 70
years ago.)
We would like to know if you would be interested in receiving a sample of
these French cheeses and write about one of them in your blog.
This is our second “sampling project” this year, and you can check online what other bloggers wrote last time: iledefrancecheese.com/blogs
Ile de France Cheese would send you one Goat cheese, or one Brie or a Camenbert to taste and comment on.
Please let us know before September 16th which cheese would you be interested in sampling and writing about.
We are giving you the choice between these three different products, because we plan to send you another type of Ile de France cheeses to sample later on this year if you enjoyed this project.
The cheese will be shipped in a cooler (UPS overnight) the 23rd of September.
Therefore we would need from you an address where someone can receive the UPS delivery.
We hope you will be interested in participating. In case you are not, rest assured, that we would not contact you anymore.
In addition to the sampling program, we are also launching a recipe contest.
The first prize will be $1000. The second and third prizes will be a cheese basket worth $150.
In order to participate, you would need to send us a picture/pictures or a video of you cooking with Ile de France cheese as well as the recipe itself. You may enter any type of dish (soup, sandwich, desert, etc.), as long as it includes Ile de France cheese. (There are no obligations to participate in the contest, weather you accepted and received the cheese or not.)
The recipe contest will start on September 25th and will end on October 15th when the voting will start.
More information on the contest will be posted soon on iledefrancecheese.com.
If you are interested in participating please let us know.
Please do visit our website (www.iledefrancecheese.com) anytime, it is full of cheese recipes, tips, pairing ideas, and much more, regarding other specialty cheeses such as Morbier, Comté or Boursault.
Feel free to pick any of our recipes to write about as well, just remember that you need to mention the source and place a link to our website.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Alex
