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.

Simple Truth and Simple Truth Organic Products at Ralphs

Simple Truth & Simple Truth Organic Products at Ralphs

@RalphsGrocery provided me with compensation in exchange for this sponsored blog post. However, all opinions expressed here are my own”

Sometimes as consumers there are times when we want to call a company and make a suggestion but are hesitant that our voice will be heard. Many times these suggestions are jotted down, or emailed to the appropriate party and forgotten about, or so we think. There are times when a company will take it’s suggestions from consumers and put them into action in their products.

The suggestion into action concept came together with the Simple Truth line of products available at Ralphs. Simple Truth is a line of products that are free of 101 artificial preservatives and ingredients. A list was compiled from customers telling the company and brand what they didn’t want in their foods and Simple Truth was the result.

Vision and the ability to notice items becomes higher once our awareness is awakened and that is how the Simple Truth products were for me.

On a recent trip as I walked throughout the store I noticed that every category of food from crackers, baby products, paper goods, to dairy products was represented under the Simple Truth brand.

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.

King of Pop: Critic’s Choice Gourmet Popcorn Sampler Review + Giveaway

My favorite season has arrived – Award Season!!

When I met my husband for the first time I mentioned to him that if there was an award show on the television I would be sucked in to watch it. There is something magical, amazing and at times shocking. When there are awards shows on I watch the outfits, the categories and the speeches.

When I was contacted recently from KingofPop.com for a review and saw their The Critics Choice Gourmet Popcorn Sampler I thought this was the perfect way for me to join ranks in the upcoming awards season.
