Nicks Sticks Holiday 2016 Giveaway

Nick’s Stick’s Holiday Assortment Giveaway

As we close the month of November and begin the march into December, the time has come in which I begin to prepare my gift list.

As I prepare there are certain people that are easy to buy for – hobbies clear, favorite author and always brand loyal. These are the people I love to shop for. but there are others on my list. These “other” people to shop for are the people that literally have everything already, and if they want an item they purchase it themselves.

If you happen to have someone like this on your list then I have the perfect gift – sticks and jerky!

Garlic Gold: Garlic Gold Gift Box Holiday 2016 Giveaway

Garlic Gold: Garlic Gold Gift Box Holiday 2016 Giveaway

Since I have ventured into the world of cooking I have discovered that even if your ingredients or protein are of lower quality if you have solid spices, most items can be recovered.

The one item that we tend to use a lot of is Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It is important to monitor the heat and light that the oil receives, as these two elements will destroy the oil. Since this is a consideration while cooking, I have been practicing my heat application.

With the coming holidays upon us, Garlic Gold has offered a Garlic Gold Gift Box to one lucky reader!

Crispy Green: Holiday 2016 Stocking Stuffer Giveaway

If there is one thing that I find difficult during the holiday season is the annual stocking exchange. Each year my sister in laws shuffle names and we get to pick a name, and it is then our responsibility to fill a stocking with items for the recipient.

Sounds fun right? Well yes, it is but it is a task that comes with a bit of heavy responsibility to not disappoint the recipient.

Since my both of my sister-in-laws are into healthy snacks for their children I think I have found the perfect stocking stuffer that mom and kids will love – Crispy Green’s Crispy Fruit.

Sunbelt Bakery – Dark Chocolate Chunk Granola Bars Review

Sunbelt Bakery: Dark Chocolate Chunk Granola Bars Review + Giveaway

When I was a child I took dance classes and spent a good amount of time in my father’s car when he would take me to and from dance class. At the time the only place to take lessons was almost 25 minutes from home.

Often times on my way home I would get hungry and my father would hand me a granola bar or equal treat. I always wondered how he knew I would be hungry after dance class and now I wonder why I was not some days.

The granola bars I remember were crunchy and came in simple flavors such as maple, peanut butter or the overly simplistic plain flavor. When I received Sunbelt Bakery’s Chewy Granola Bars, I knew this was not the granola bar of my youth. Continue reading →
