So, we’ve been working on changing our eating habits. I’ve posted before about looking for natural foods, and how it’s ben benefitting our family. So often, convenience usually means eating something full of preservatives, and having an ingredients list with all kinds of words that I can’t pronounce.

A few months ago, I worked with a company called Michael Angelo’s, and truly fell in love with their meals. Michael Angelo’s is a family owned and operated business. They hand pick ingredients and make their meals from scratch every day, inspecting it for quality just before they’re shipped out to your local supermarkets. They promise never to use artificial colors, flavors, fillers, chemical preservatives, or other unnatural additives in their foods.

Well, after working with them, I had searched for them at my local grocery stores, only to find there wasn’t a sign of Michael Angelo’s anywhere. I checked my local Walmart stores, where I knew I had seen it before, and they didn’t have it either. I was so disappointed. I have been having such a hard time finding foods that are good for us, and I knew I had to do something about it.

As a Walmart Mom, I am very lucky to have a direct connection to Walmart HQ, and sometimes, I really try to take advantage of it. This was one of those times. I had emailed up to HQ asking about if Michael Angelo’s meals were ever going to come back. It seemed like there wasn’t a definite answer for a while. Then, I was invited up to HQ with several of the other Walmart Moms for the ShareHolder’s Meeting. We also got the chance to sit down with some of the executive folks at Walmart, and I have to say… I was impressed. We got into a big conversation about bringing more natural foods into Walmart. I, along with several other Walmart Moms are on a mission! Anyhow, I brought up Michael Angelo’s in the conversation, and minutes later, the head grocery folks come into the room to discuss why Michael Angelo’s wasn’t in the stores. They told me that they’d look into seeing if they can bring it back and let me know. That was June. Just a few weeks ago, I found out that Michael Angelo’s was coming back to Walmart Stores in my area. I checked for 3 weeks straight, and finally, I found the Meat Lasagna and the Eggplant Parmesan meals. I had hoped that some day, they’d be able to bring more meals to the stores. Just the other day I was checking the shelves, and found that there are now FOUR Michael Angelo’s meals at Walmart! I am so excited!
These meals come in so handy, especially on days that I have TaeKwonDo class and we need a quick and easy meal solution.  There aren’t a lot of quick, easy, and good for you, meal solutions out there, so having Michael Angelo’s come back to my stores is a big deal! I have to say, I’m very excited to have been a part of bringing something good into the stores!  Thanks Walmart for listening to me! I appreciate it more than you know!
