Something wonderful

A few days prior to my surgery, I was sent a wonderful email from Ryan at POM Wonderful complementing my blog and offering to send me a complimentary case of POM Wonderful 100% pomegrante juice. Having two children that absolutely love POM, I naturally said YES!

The case of POM arrived the week after my surgery, and I managed to snap a photo before the kids guzzled themselves into a POM frenzy :)

If you haven't tried POM Wonderful yet, you really should. And not just because Ryan sent me a free case! ;)

• POM Wonderful is the only brand guaranteed to contain 100% authentic pomegrante juice. It's all-natural and contains no added sugars, preservatives, colors or cheap filler juices. Other pomegrante juice brands are made with juice imported from Iran, Turkey and India.
• POM Wonderful's pomegranate orchards are located in California's San Joaquin Valley. They grow their own fruit, pick it by hand, squeeze it with their own proprietary presses, and even manufacture their own bottles!
• There have been 45 studies about POM Wonderful pomegranate juice published in leading peer reviewed journals. To read the full studies, visit Pom Wonderful.

One of the things that Ryan mentioned in our subsequent email conversations is that POM Wonderful is, well, erm, really quite wonderful to cook with! Their website features a lovely receipe section, and the kids and I decided on the Pear Salad with POM Honey Dijon Dressing and Blue Cheese Crumbles. This salad was so scrumptious, it was almost like a dessert for me! I could have happily sat at the dinner table and eaten all 8 servings by myself :)

My son LOVES red velvet cake, so our next POM Wonderful adventure will definitely be the POM Velvet Cake and/or POM Velvet Cupcakes with POM Cream Cheese Frosting! I just need to be sure I accumulate extra activity points the week prior to our making these next yummy treats! :)
