Ingredients for Carnation Breakfast Essentials® #CarnationSweepstakes #BetterBreakfast #CollectiveBias #Ad

I was asked to try Carnation Breakfast Essentials® powder in a recipe of my own devising for seven days. The major challenge to me would be to actually eat breakfast for seven days. Breakfast at our house can be one of the craziest meals of the day. Normally we wake up around 6am to get ready for school. Andrew gets downstairs first, after he tries to wake us so he can go downstairs. Eva will spend some time in her room and come down utterly unprepared for the day. She has to make several trips upstairs to get everything. In between, lunches are being made and many times I do not eat breakfast. I’m either uninterested or there isn’t anything I like. For a while I had been trying to make oatmeal in a mini crock-pot overnight and then eat that. Do you know how many times I’ve completely forgotten to set up the oatmeal? The answer is many. Sadly, there have been mornings where I’ve had a glass of milk and a brownie or cookies for breakfast. I needed to get my act together.

Go for #GameDayGlory Snack Stadium #CollectiveBias #Ad

I don’t think I’ve been more excited to do a project in a long time as I have been these past few weeks while assembling a Snack Stadium. When I learned that I was selected for this shop I researched all sorts of different Snack Stadiums and how to assemble them. I took ideas from all over and made this Snack Stadium my own. Lucky for me, I get so many things sent to me that I had tons of raw materials with which to create. So, I gathered up some boxes, duct tape and tin foil to get started on the structure that would house many snacks such as SNICKERS®, Skittles®, Pepsi™, Diet Pepsi™, TOSTITOS® Scoops, TOSTITOS® Original and TOSTITOS® Chunky Salsa. Also the debut of this Snack Stadium coincided with a get together that my wife was having so it was a dry run for the Big Game. I’ll be bringing the Snack Stadium to work so we can all have a great time despite not being home to watch the Big Game.

Purchasing the materials at Walmart so I can assemble the materials for the #GameDayGlory Snack Stadium #CollectiveBias #Ad

I made my way over to Walmart because that is where I would be able to find many snacks to fill up my Snack Stadium. I picked up a bunch of things because I had space for eight different snacks like TOSTITOS® Scoops in the stadium. I knew I would need more space so I decided to make a tailgate area. The stadium itself was to be for chips and pretzels and things like that while the tailgating area would be for the candy, cookies and sweet things. The field itself was going to be a multi-layer dip that would be perfect for all of the crunchy, salty delicious chips and more in the stands of the stadium. So, how does one go about assembling a snack stadium? Read on to find out how I did mine. Continue reading Go for #GameDayGlory with this Snack Stadium Tutorial →
