Ford Hits 2 Million Mark With EcoBoost Engines

WESTLAND, Mich. - With so many vehicles now having a turbocharged option, Ford has hit the 2 million mark with EcoBoost Engines. This milestone has been reached because of the quick production of the gas-saving engine, with more than 100,000 being produced a month.

The turbocharged EcoBoost engine is a great option for drivers looking to save a little money on gas. While the engine option may cost a little more, the savings is certainly made up when you calculate how much money you save on gas. This engine delivers up to 20 percent better fuel economy than the standard gasoline engine - something that makes this engine extremely popular with Ford drivers.

Ford has hit the 2 million mark with EcoBoost engines, and the lucky car to get the historic number 2 millionth engine was a Ford Escape built in Ford's Louisville, KY plant. Besides the Ford Escape, 7 other vehicle brands by Ford will offer the EcoBoost engine by the end of the year.

Deliciously Easy After School Snacks

WESTLAND, Mich. - School is back in session which means kids will be trying to adjust to the long school days and will be coming home ravenous. Instead of reaching for the potato chips and goldfish, we have a few deliciously easy after school snacks that are both healthy and easy to make.

Fruits and veggies are the best snacks for kids, since they are healthy and can taste great if prepared correctly. Unfortunately, most kids will avoid the fresh produce and go for a chip bag or a candy bar. That's why we've found a couple of ways to get your kids to eat their fruits and veggies - by adding something sweet!

Chocolate banana pops are delicious and easy, just simply cut your banana, stick a wooden handle in each piece, dip it in melted chocolate and freeze! When frozen, the banana slices taste more like ice cream, which gives your kids another reason to love them!

Apple smile snacks are delicious as well. Taking two slices of apple, put peanut butter on one side and make an apple sandwich with marshmallows in the middle. Your kids will love this snack for the taste, and also for the silly smile!

Simply cutting up various fruits and vegetables and providing them with a dip might work as well. With the fruit, we recommend giving them the option to dip it into a marshmallow fluff or Nutella. As for the veggies, any kind of ranch or veggie dip will work!

One final deliciously easy after school snack that your kids will love is putting a variety of fruit and chocolate chips in an ice cream cone! It's convenient for them to hold on to, and keeps the unhealthy ice cream out of the picture.

With these quick and easy recipes, hopefully you'll be able to find something healthy that your kids will love. At North Brothers Ford, we have something YOU will love: New Ford Cars and New Ford Trucks! We have an extensive selection of vehicles, both new and used. We are proud to be the Ann Arbor Area Ford Dealer as well as the Ypsilanti Area Ford Dealer. So stop by and let us help you into a vehicle that you'll love!
