Simple Mills: Almond Flour Crackers Review

Simple Mills: Fine Ground Sea Salt and Cheddar Almond Flour Crackers Review and Giveaway

As the summer sun sets, also comes the time for evening entertaining. A popular evening activity is watching the sun set with a bottle of win and crackers. For the gluten sensitive this can be a less than enjoyable experience.

One of my favorite things as a blogger is when I company that I have worked with in the past, increases and expands their product offerings. Recently I inquired to Simple Mills for a possible giveaway and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they had added crackers to their already successful mixes. When I reached out they were generous enough to send me a sample of their crackers.

Earnest Eats Blueberry Chia Cup Giveaway

Earnest Eats Blueberry Chia Cup Giveaway

I don’t know about you but breakfast and I have a love hate relationship. I love the concept of breakfast much more than sitting and eating the breakfast.

When I was young my father would take my friends and I to breakfast each Saturday morning – we began to look forward to this ritual and became a tradition for sleep overs. I think that my friends would spend the night just for the Saturday morning breakfast.

Since I do not have the time I used to but still need a healthy breakfast to start my day I look for the most punch in a cup. About a year ago I discovered the Superfood known as Chia, and once combined with whole oats this becomes a healthy and energizing breakfast. In my exploration of chia, I came across Earnest Eats and their Chia Cups and now you can win some for your morning routine.

Open Road Snacks: Sinfully Thin Popcorn Review

Open Road Snacks: Sinfully Thin Popcorn Review and Giveaway

Often times I feel as though I am repeating myself and this is one of those cases – we are a snack house. As time passes, we find ourselves that the snacks we like tend to slant more on the healthier end of the spectrum.

One snack that seems to be not only re-occurant but healthy too is popcorn. Over the past couple months I have come to appreciate popcorn and the many variations that it comes in.

Sinfully Thin Popcorn is a product from Open Road Snacks with the belief that the company keeps a passionate commitment to small batch taste while keeping with a scale to go anywhere meaning that snacker’s do not have to choose convenience over quality.

Chef’s Cut Real Jerky Review

Chef’s Cut Real Jerky Review and Giveaway

As a blogger I spend many hours sitting and far less hours eating as healthy as I should. Many days convenience wins over substance and hunger wins over flavor.

There is a snack that breaks the consistency that convenience brings and also contains the flavor that hunger craves.

The ubiquitous snack I am referring to is JERKY! Now if you are like me, you are unaware that jerky comes in beef, chicken and bacon varieties.

One company is taking the meats that are staples for protein diets, and making them into tasty and flavorful jerky flavors. Chef’s Cut Real Jerky was generous enough to send me a Deluxe Variety Pack to sample, which my jerky loving husband was thrilled about. Continue reading →

Crispy Green: Summer Beach Blanket Combo Giveaway

Crispy Green: Summer Beach Blanket Combo Giveaway

The beach is starting to get busy, and it is no wonder with summer just on the horizon. I live about a stones throw to the beach so when summer hits so do the people and traffic.

Often times on days I take the coast route home (which is nearly all the time) I see people there from morning-to-night. At night the one thing we see the most of is bonfires. When we sit at the stop light to make the left, often times our eyes are right wondering what is around those flickers of light.

In my opinion to have a successful beach outing there are a couple of key elements needed including a blanket and snacks! Back in July of 2015 I reviewed a company called Crispy Green and their product called Crispy Fruit.

Crispy Green has seven flavors of freeze-dried fruit including Crispy Apples, Crispy Mangoes, Crispy Asian Pears, Crispy Bananas, Crispy Cantaloupe, Crispy Pineapples and Crispy Tangerine.
