Radio City Rockettes and NYC families help welcome the newest member of the Coca-Cola family, the 90-Calorie Mini can. (David Goldman/AP Images for Coca-Cola North America)

Who’s the new smidge in the fridge? It’s Coca-Cola’s 90-calorie mini can, a new stylish way for consumers to open a little happiness and manage the calories they drink!

Nearly half the size and more than twice the fun of a standard can, the 7.5 ounce mini can is packed with small bursts of the same great flavor and refreshment of Coca-Cola. The new packaging, part of Coca-Cola’s on going commitment to support a healthy lifestyle, contains a portion controlled 90 calories, which can be incorporated in any diet.

“The Coca-Cola mini can is a great option for smaller thirst occasions, and for calorie conscious consumers,” said Hendrick Steckhan, president and general manager, Sparkling Beverages, Coca-Cola North America. “Our new sleek mini can supports the idea of moderation and offers people yet another way to enjoy their favorite Coca-Cola beverage.”

I received samples of the new 90-calorie mini can from The Coca-Cola Company. The new mini tasted great and it complimented my new healthier diet. You get taste, refreshment and hydration all in one can. I’m sure you will definitely enjoy these!

Mini options will include Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta Orange, Cherry Coca-Cola and Barq’s Root Beer, among others. Residents in Washington, D.C. and New York will get the first glimpse of the mini cans. They will be available nationwide in April 2010.

The newest introduction from Pizza Hut isn’t pizza — it’s pasta!

Pizza Hut recently introduced Tuscani Pastas - two styles of fresh, hot & delicious pastas delivered right to your door for a great family meal any day of the week.  The pastas are a convenient way to give your family a sit-down meal, without spending the evening in the kitchen.

Tuscani Pastas are topped with one of two sauces before being baked.  You can choose from Creamy Chicken Alfredo (a rich parmesan sauce tossed with chicken) or Meaty Marinara (a satisfying blend of tomato sauce and meat) and each pasta is served with five freshly-baked breadsticks.

My family actually tried the Meaty Marinara Tuscani Pasta and it was very good!  The pasta came in an aluminum pan insulated in a cardboard box and it stayed warm until it was served.  The pasta had a perfect balance of cheese, meat & sauce and definitely compared to restaurant-quality pasta.  I was surprised because even the breadsticks tasted different than the regular ones served at Pizza Hut.  My family really enjoyed the Meaty Marinara pasta and is already looking forward to ordering the Creamy Chicken Alfredo version.

The new Tuscani Pastas are priced at only $11.99 & serves a family of four – click here to order yours today. You will love it!

*Upcoming Contest: One lucky reader will have the opportunity to win a complimentary Tuscani Pasta courtesy of Pizza Hut & Stylish Moms. Details coming soon so check back often!

1 – Go Christmas Shopping! Walking around a mall makes for a great activity and great fun.

2 – The old standard:  Park your vehicle far from the building and walk.

3 – Wrap those packages and once yours are all bundled up, volunteer to wrap some more. Local shelters are in dire need of volunteers during this busy season of the year for everything from wrapping packages to delivering hot meals.

4 – Take the dog for a long walk through the neighborhood at dusk so you can admire the pretty lights in the area. Be sure to take a few friends along for safety.

5 – Throw a Holiday party! As hostess, you’ll certainly be getting in more than your share of activity before the big event. And you’ll be so busy making sure everyone else is having fun, you won’t eat too much!

6 – Grab some friends and go caroling in your neighborhood (bring back the good ole days).

7 – Bake some homemade holiday bread. Kneading is great exercise.
