Dave’s Gourmet Specialty Sauces Review

Dave’s Gourmet Specialty Sauces: Creamy Parmesan Romano Pasta Sauce and Wild Mushroom Pasta Sauce Review + Giveaway

I have mentioned in the past that my husband comes from an Italian family. There are stories of his youth that involve large plates of pasta, zucchini boats, lasagna, salads and of course garlic bread.

While these are fond memories, those days have passed for the most part and our own cooking limits the quantities of food selections dramatically. The one thing that has not changed is the love of sauces that he has. The one thing is that since he grew-up on authentic sauces, he is somewhat picky about the pasta sauces he eats now.

When I saw Dave’s Gourmet and their line of pasta sauces I thought that maybe Jason would find a pasta sauce that would remind him of those days of endless pasta meals.

Crispy Green: Crispy Fruit – Valentine’s Day 2017 Giveaway

Crispy Green: Crispy Fruit Valentine’s 2017 Giveaway

When I was younger (much younger) and in grade school, I loved when the time came to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Overall, I remember this as a time to have cupcakes in class, and most of all, trade envelopes and treats with my fellow classmates.

The Valentine’s given usually reflected the personality and always gender appropriate of the giver. Many students also gave an additional treat with their card ranging from chocolate to conversation hearts. Rarely were the treats healthy and were always full of sugar, many times cavities could be seen month later.

Many things have changed since those carefree candy filled days and parents and teachers are looking for healthy alternatives to share with classrooms such as Crispy Green’s Crispy Fruit.

True Jerky’s Turkey Jerky Review

True Jerky’s *NEW* Turkey Jerky Review + Giveaway

I have mentioned in the past that one of my favorite things is when companies introduce new products. Since starting this blog I have discovered that jerky is one of my favorite things and that there are as many varieties as I am willing to sample.

As many readers know I am in San Diego, and I am a proud San Diegan. One of the highlights of my reviewing journey is when I have the opportunity to review local companies.

When I attended the Natural Expo West Show in Anaheim last year, I came upon True Jerky (previously known as True Gentleman’s Jerky). The thing that got my attention were the unique flavors and with the new release of their three turkey jerky flavors, my attention has been gotten again.

Pipcorn: Delicious Mini Popcorn Review

Pipcorn – Truffle and Sea Salt Review + Giveaway

Each week, on Friday nights, we watch Shark Tank. There are days that we look at each other and wonder who would purchase the product that they are introducing the audience too. Other days we wonder how the world has survived without the product in their lives.

One of these products that we wondered about was a hulless popcorn that we saw on the show called Pipcorn by Pipsnacks. What got our attention the most was that this mini popcorn had made Oprah’s Favorite Things list twice and touted as easier to digest, is kinder to teeth and seeing overall reaction when eaten.

Boulder Canyon Crisps Review

Boulder Canyon: Snap Pea Crisps and Ancient Grains Crisps Review + Giveaway

NeoCell: Glow Matrix Capsules Review

NeoCell: Glow Matrix Capsules – Advanced Skin Hydrator Review + Giveaway

It has always been a dream of mine to harness a power or energy. I grew up in the era of cartoons with super heroes male and female. I was always amazed by the abilities that these heroes had from not only looking beautiful to having extraordinary powers to change the future.

While I am unable to attain the abilities these super heroes of my youth had, I can attain my own youth. The super heroes used swords, or ropes to make things happen, I like to use collagen.

Collagen is it’s own powerful tool and NeoCell Laboratories is harnessing its power in their line of products. By using collagen to assist in re-engaging the body’s own potential for healing and rejuvenation, the products can help me retain the youth in my self. Since I see such a positive result each time I use their products that when I had the opportunity for another review I accepted. I decided to review NeoCell Laboratories Glow Matrix Advanced Skin Hydrator Capsules.
