Barilla Whole Grain Taste and Share Challenge - Review (and Giveaway) CLOSED

Barilla has made it an even easier for you to take the Whole Grain Taste & Share Challenge! For a limited time, visit: http://on.fb.me/TryWholeGrain, enter box code 1129 and select two of your Facebook friends to share Whole Grain with. You'll be instantly eligible to print a $1/2 coupon and your friends will each receive a $1/1 coupon good for any variety of Barilla Whole Grain pasta.


I know that I am supposed to eat healthier, and that I am supposed to serve whole grains to my family.  My problem is that usually the white stuff just tastes better.  You know what I mean, right?  Especially when it comes to pasta.  All of the whole grain versions resembled something like cardboard.  And the family refuses to eat it.


Recently, I had the chance to try Barilla's Whole Grain Pasta (along with a bunch of other Barilla goodies.)  FINALLY!! Whole grain pasta that doesn't taste like cardboard.  LJ even finished his plate.  I confess, I never told him it was whole grain...and he didn't ask so I think that's a victory!  Made with 51 percent whole grain, all natural Barilla Whole Grain Pasta has three times the fiber of regular pasta and provides a great way to make any pasta meal more nutritious. In addition, by pairing Barilla Whole Grain pasta with seasonal vegetables, herbs and cheeses you can serve your family versatile, tasty and healthful meals.


Also, as part of the Challenge, anyone can submit a code from a purchased Barilla Whole Grain box at www.facebook.com/barillaus to receive a $1 off coupon for friends and a coupon for themselves. For Whole Grain pasta recipes the whole family will enjoy, visit Barilla's Dinner Kit.


But I really think you should try it out for yourself!  The folks at Barilla teamed up with Mom Central to give away three Barilla Taste and Share kits (just like I got - pictured above) to three Wisconsin Mommy readers.  Each kit has six boxes of Barilla Whole Grain pasta, Academia Barilla olive oil, balsamic vinegar, pesto, Sicilian cherry tomatoes, sea salt with black olives, and a Barilla apron.

Legal stuff:  This giveaway will end at 11:59 pm CST on Sunday 12/4.  The winners will be chosen using random.org and notified via email.  The winners will have 48 hours to respond or forfeit their prize which will be awarded to someone else.  No purchase necessary, chances of winning are dependent on the number of entries.  Open to US residents ages 18 and up, void where prohibited by law.  The prize will be supplied by Barilla/Mom Central.


I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Barilla and received a Taste & Share Challenge Kit to facilitate my review, kits to giveaway, and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
