Simple Mills: Chocolate and Vanilla Frosting Reviews

Simple Mills: Chocolate and Vanilla Frosting Review and Giveaway

simple-mills-frostings-on-paddleAs I have gotten older I have realized that there are few things that I can make better than I can buy. One of these items is baked goods – almost everything I make tastes better than what I can otherwise purchase.

Upon this revelation I immediately went to the store and I began stocking up on baked goods. I purchased flour, sugar, baking powder and extracts of every flavor. I excitedly came home and decided to make brownies. I was under the belief that just simple plain brownies would suffice, but I was quickly informed that frosted brownies are better.

I have mentioned in the past that 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. Since I suddenly found myself in a frosting-less situation I inquired to Simple Mills so that I could sample their new frosting’s and when I reached out they were generous enough to send me a their newest sweet offering.

Crunchies Freeze Dried Fruit Review

Crunchies Freeze Dried Fruit Review and Giveaway!!!!

crunchies-freeze-dried-snacksSince I am a review blogger and thus a small business owner, time is precious and ease is preferred over almost any other option.

One of the healthiest and simplest snacks that I have discovered is freeze-dried fruit. The thing that makes these healthy is that this is a single-ingredient snack. Since it is only fruit they are non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free and kosher. As an added plus they have no added sugar or artificial flavoring.

When I received the Crunchies Freeze Dried Fruit Assortment for review, I was looking forward to sample some fruits that I had not tried freeze-dried before.

Goodie Girl: Vanilla and Cocoa Slims Review

Goodie Girl: Vanilla and Cocoa Slims Review + Giveaway!!!!

vanilla-and-cocoa-slimsIt is no secret that I am a fan of Goodie Girl Cookies and we share them with our friends and loved ones as often as we can.

Recently my mother in law was mentioning that she loves the yearly mint cookies, but is sad she has to wait once a year to indulge in her favorite cookie. I have kept this in mind and on one of my mass Goodie Girl cookie purchases I bought her a box of Mint Slims.

I was eager to hear her opinion of these gluten-free cookies, and had to contain my excitement when she was taking her first bite. After she had a couple, she looked at me and declared that she likes these more than her previous once a year favorites. About a week later I heard that the box was no longer, and its contents empty.

I loved this moment and it reminded me of why I began the blog in the first place – to share products with people that they otherwise may not have known about. Recently Goodie Girl released a 8-pack package of Mint Slims, as well as Vanilla Slims and Cocoa Slims.

 Nii Bars Summer 2016 Sampler Giveaway

Nii Bar Out of PackageOne reason I began this blog was to discover and showcase companies that carry items that interested me, and my readers. The way I tend to discover these companies is more on the unconventional side, and my discovery of Nii Bars is no different.

There are certain shows that we watch and it is one of those shows in which I originally happened upon Nii Bars. As we were watching Food Network one night we came upon a show that showcased companies seeking an investment to grow their business.
