Dunkin Donuts Anytime

Do you run on Dunkin'?  On mornings when I'm running late, I run straight to the nearest Dunkin' Donuts location with a drive-thru.  I'm currently addicted to their Vanilla Chai Latte.  

Did you know that you could "Run on Dunkin'" all day long?  You heard me....ALL DAY LONG!


Dunkin' Donuts expanded their all-day menu to include four new bakery sandwiches.  Recently, I was invited to taste the newest additions to the Dunkin' Donuts menu.  


One of my new favorites, the Turkey, Cheddar & Bacon Bakery Sandwich with Ancho Chipotle sauce.  Nice kick, and who doesn't love bacon?!  I could have used more sauce for dipping...MMMMM!  
 



I also REALLY enjoyed the Texas Toast Grilled Cheese.  This gooey yummy-ness was introduced in stores in December.  Definitely not low in calories, but SO worth the cheat!!




"As people find themselves busier then ever, they are snacking more frequently throughout a clockless day," said John Costello, Chief Global Marketing and Innovation Officer at Dunkin' Brands.  "The guests' changing eating habits and expectations for more fast and satisfying menu items that can be enjoyed any time of day."  

Some other treats that I was able to enjoy....

Mint Hot Chocolate....like a liquid Andes Candy!

Oh yeah...it's GOOD!

So stop by your nearest Dunkin' Donuts and try some of their DDAnytime treats...they will keep you "running" all day!!

Thanks, Dunkin' Donuts and Tilson PR for a wonderful day!

Dunkin Donuts ~ The SMART Way to Get Started {with giveaway}

What do you think of when I say Dunkin Donuts?  I think of fresh, sweet, and sinful donuts.  Oh yeah, and the delicious coffee...light and sweet for me!


Did you know that there is a new DDSmart menu at your local Dunkin Donuts to help you make healthier choices when on the "run"?  You heard me....Dunkin Donuts has healthy choices!  And they are tasty too!


Being on the go most of the time, I recently visited my local Dunkin Donuts before my son's baseball game.  My kids wanted to try the heart shaped donuts for February and my husband wanted coffee.  What better time to try the new DDSmart choices on the menu, right?

I ordered the small Latte Lite which was only 80 calories (before I put my sugar in it....sorry, not a Splenda girl!).  And I had egg white flat with turkey sausage....yummy!


There were so many other delicious and healthy choices on the menu also, but I wasn't hungry enough to eat it all (not to mention that would defeat the whole "smart" part of it all!).


I just looked for the DDSmart logo next to menu items to find the healthier side of Dunkin Donuts.

When I got home, I checked out the Dunkin Donuts website to learn more about this change in menu and I found that not only can you "Run on Dunkin" but Dunkin is helping you run...a 5K that is.  They have a link to get you to run with a plan to run from 0 to 5K  and a link to find a 5K in your area.

Really? Really?

So I went to the Dunkin' Donuts Back to School event this week.  It was my first blogging event ever...I was so excited.


I already gave you a run-down on all of the fantastic treats that we got, but I didn't mention the real "treat" that everyone else got...


A glimpse into why I'm so exhausted....

Before leaving the house:


Me: "Boys, we're going to Dunkin' Donuts."
Boys:  "Yay!"
Me:  "We're going because Mommy needs to meet with some people that work on the computer."
6 year old:  "You're going to make new friends?"
Me:  "Yes.  But you have to promise me that you will be good.  If you promise, then I will get you donuts."
Boys:  "We promise!"


Little did I know, I should have looked for crossed fingers....


All went well when the first testers of donuts and Coolattas went around.  Then I started talking to the other bloggers and all went down hill!


I have no idea what happened, I just know that I look up and my 6 year old is hitting his brother!  The little one is crying and I step in and pull my oldest to the bathroom (as he screams that I am hurting him) only to find it locked.  So I pulled him to a corner to talk with him.  He then walked back over and put his head down.  All the while my more dramatic 4 year old was wailing about how he hurts.


HOW EMBARRASSING!!!!


I guess I should buy stock in Calgon so it can take me FAR away!!

Moms Love Dunkin' Donuts!

Did you know Dunkin' Donuts has other things besides donuts??


I knew that, but was a bit timid to try new things (this is something my husband makes fun of about me...).  I'm sorry, I like to stick with what I know!  Chocolate glazed and cinnamon donuts are my all time favorite.  I prove this by getting one of each when I visit any Dunkin' Donuts...     


But recently, I was invited to try out some other lesser known products that are available at Dunkin' Donuts.  Mini samples of all kinds of deliciousness were passed around for us to try.  (I think every restaurant should do this, by the way...)


A Back to School event for blogging moms was hosted by Tilson PR firm at a Dunkin' Donuts in Miami, FL. The event was focused around the ever popular slogan, "Everyone runs on Dunkin'." Well, they proved that even busy moms can "Run on Dunkin'" too!


I am now a new lover of other things on Dunkin' Donuts' menu, including new flavors of donuts.  I really enjoyed the Strawberry Frosted donut...who knew?  And the Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Twist?  Even my little adventurous eater liked this one.




Have you ever had the Tuna Croissant or the Pepperoni Stuffed Breadstick?  I recommend them both.  Want something fabulous?  Try the Turkey, Cheddar and Bacon Flat Bread....to die for!  And don’t get me started on the Southern Style Chicken Flatbread...I’ll definitely be going back for more.




And what about the beverages?  My kids’ favorites were, of course, the Blue Raspberry Coolatta and Cherry Coolatta.  As a lover of all things sweet, I really enjoyed the Sweet Iced Tea.  And I now have a new coffee obsession...the Iced Caramel Mocha Latte.





Of course the girls at Tilson PR and Dunkin’ Donuts provided us with goody bags filled with all kinds of goodies including these 

ADORABLE USB flash drives in the shapes of favorite Dunkin’ Donuts products!

Did I mention I won a re-usable travel cup in the raffle???  SCORE!

Thanks, Dunkin' Donuts and Tilson PR for a wonderful day!
