Barilla Whole Grain Taste & Share Challenge

With a dinner table full of picky young critics, keeping our kids on a healthy, nutritious and balanced diet can many evenings feel merely aspirational. 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 the basic every day pasta kids tend to clamor for become 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.

This fall, Barilla has come up with a Whole Grain Taste & Share Challenge to encourage Barilla’s Whole Grain pasta with your family, and see how they enjoy the flavor while you enjoy the added benefits. Submit the code from a purchased Barilla box at www.facebook.com/barillaus and share to receive a $1 off coupon for your friends and one for yourself. For pasta twist ideas, visit Barilla’s Dinner Kit for delicious recipes to try.

Three lucky Mom Central readers will each win a Barilla Whole Grain Taste & Share Challenege Kit containing 6 styles of pasta, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, pesto, cherry tomatoes and sea salt with black olives, and an apron. 

This giveaway is now closed.

Congrats to our winners Brandi J., Emily S. and Debra E., and a big thanks to all who entered!

Disclosure: Mom Central received three Barilla Whole Grain Taste & Share Challenge Kits courtes of Barilla, a current client of Mom Central Consulting.
