Logging Miles at Bee Well for Life motivates and donates all at once

As a Bee Squad member I am learning more and more about Bumble Bee as a company. One of the areas they are passionate about is living healthy.

Bee Well for Life

Bumble Bee has created a site called Bee Well for Life where members can log the miles they walk, run, surf, or whatever the chosen activity is! Not only that, Bumble Bee is donating $.10 for every mile logged to Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization!

I have been playing around with a few different programs to track my calorie intake as well as my activity. Knowing that if I log my miles with Bee Well for Life, each mile or minute of activity is generating a donation for a worthy cause gives me that extra motivation to keep moving!

Want to log your miles and generate donations?

Disclosure: As a member of the Bee Squad Bumble Bee is my official sponsor to attend the BlogHer 11 conference. I have received a box of product for my family to use as we explore the Bumble Bee line of products and document the experience here. I may at some point offer a giveaway and that product will be supplied at not cost to me.

Bumble Bee is getting sloppy (Joes that is)

As a member of the Bee Squad I get a heads-up on all kinds of cool things you can do with Bumble Bee tuna and seafood products.

Bumble Bee has a new video series of kid-friendly recipes that are easy and taste great!

The lastest video is how to make sloppy joes using Bumble Bee tuna.

WHAT?!!?!

I know - but trust me - it looks really good and tastes even better!

Check it out:

What you need:

Warmed Sloppy Joe sauce

Bumble Bee Chunk Light tuna

Buns

The tuna will warm up quickly if the sauce is already hot. Serve it with some carrot sticks and celery sticks (instead of fries) and you have an easy, healthy summer meal!

Check out all of the Bumble Bee Food kid-friendly recipes and let me know if you've tried any!

I'm a member of the Bumble Bee Bee Squad!

I know what many of you are thinking...

What they hey?

Until you learn how much I love tuna fish.

Tuna is to me what pizza is to you the morning after a late night

In college the morning after a late night party all of my friends would get greasy comfort food like pizza or burger. Me? I always got a tuna melt.

It's comforting. It's inexpensive. It's filling. It's actually quite good for you too!

I still love tuna and eat it at least once a week. I specifically like Bumble Bee so I was thrilled when they asked if I'd join the 2011 Bee Squad in exchange for paying my way to BlogHer '11!

"You want me to work with my favorite tuna company and eat a bunch of Bumble Bee products and write about it? Um, how do I say this... HELL YES!"

And so it begins.

Exploring the Bumble Bee product line

I recently received a welcome kit in the mail complete with all kinds of Bumble Bee product as well as an apron which makes me feel like a real cook!

 

The Mister quickly ate the seasoned cans of tuna called Bumble Bee Sensations (Lemon & Pepper, Spicy Thai Chili and Sundried Tomato and Basil) before I had a chance to write about them properly or even write up a fancy recipe.

Here is the one close-up shot of the cans I got before they disappeared into his stomach:

BUT, I can at least tell you what he said,

"Am I in trouble again?

Oh. OK. Sorry.

Next time I'll take a picture before I eat them.

Um, they were good! Didn't even need mayo. Get more of them."

And that last part, "Get more of them" is what is key here folks.

That means he really like them. And I like the no mayo because both of us need to be watching our calorie intake.

In the next few months I'll be highlighting various family-friendly Bumble Bee recipes like the tuna pizza I made (seriously good), the Bee Well for Life program (which donates $.10 a mile to breast cancer research), and the way Bumble Bee practices what they preach with encouraging their employees and business to be healthy and green.

Now I'm starving and off to make myself a tuna melt!

All opinons expressed here are my own and you are welcome to contact my college roommate to verify I did, infact, eat tuna melts regularly and you can leave a comment here for The Mister to verify just how many cans of Bumble Bee tuna I have purchased and are currently stored in my basement before I ever became a Bee Squad member. Actually - someone please do that. Make him work a little for the tuna, right? Kidding. This disclosure is getting too long already and was obviously not approved or reviewed proior to being published.
