For more than a decade we’ve asked St. Louis area moms and their kids to enter Mother’s Day contests. Sometimes they are essay contests, sometimes they are photo contests. But by far, our most popular is always the mother-child look-alike contest. Who can resist the draw of admiring strong genetics? This year more than 100 pairs entered our annual Mom & Me contest. Then our readers voted on their favorite. This year, it wasn’t a pair, but a whole family: Mom, her two daughters and their two daughters.

I love Cheetos. All kinds, all shapes and sizes. But when I learned Cheetos has a Simply line of baked snacks with no artificial flavors, color or preservatives, I was truly in love. Add to that the fact that these taste amazing. The white cheddar flavor is similar to the traditional Cheetos puffs, but it's a bit more mild and less artificial tasting.
