Zesty Mini Corn Muffins {and a giveaway!}

Last month when I attended the Blended Conference, I met quite a few new faces and learned a lot! We had an incredible dinner and received tons of swag, including a couple of samples of Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes.

I was thrilled when Mooney Farms contacted me to review them. They sent me six different kinds of sun dried tomatoes!

Did you know that Mooney Farms has been around sine 1987? They actually started out as a kiwi farm. When they added sun dried tomatoes, their first sale to a big-box warehouse changed everything. They sold out in a record 4 hours {that just shows you how good they are!}

We all know that tomatoes contain the good-for-you antioxidant lycopene, but did you also know that sun dried tomatoes contain 12 times the amount than a raw tomato? 

And a tomato rich diet is associated with a reduced risk of many conditions including:

• Prostate Cancer
• Digestive Disorders
• Breast, Lung and Cervical Cancer
• Heart Disease

    
Ready for some more good news? One lucky reader will receive the same six kinds of Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes as I did! 

• Sun Dried Tomatoes Julienne Cut with Zesty Peppers
• Sun Dried Tomatoes Julienne Cut with Italian Basil
• Sun Dried Tomatoes Julienne Cut with Italian Herbs in Extra Virgin Olive Oil
