Enjoy Life Foods: Vanilla Honey Graham and Snickerdoodle Cookies Review

Enjoy Life Foods: Vanilla Honey Graham and Snickerdoodle Cookies Review & Giveaway

I feel as though we have been light on the admissions around here so thought it was a great time to admit to you all that we are a sweet house. At times I wonder if our house has more sweets than proteins. We love cookies, cakes, brownies, and any combination of those that a person can dream of.

In our constant pursuit for healthier versions of the snacks and treats that we love so much we were given the opportunity to sample a couple of Enjoy Life Food’s cookies. We sampled the Soft Baked Snickerdoodles and the Vanilla Honey Grahams.

Send Me Gluten Free May Box Review & Giveaway

Send Me Gluten Free Monthly Subscription Review and Giveaway – May 2015 Box

This month has been one of reflection for me, both of my best friends from high school turned 40. The first one occurred at the beginning of the month, the second happened this past weekend. These birthdays forced me to stop, take a breath and think about my own looming day.

Send Me Gluten Free Monthly Box Review and Giveaway

Send Me Gluten Free Monthly Subscription Review and Giveaway – April 2015 Box

The one thing I have learned is that you can not stop time. Time marches on no matter what we do and how we wish for things to be slower. I heard once that it is called “the quickening” and the longer time goes I think that is the perfect word for the way life passes by. With the march of time comes the passing of months and the quick arrival of a big day in my life, With each day that passes, I reconsider my food choices and the potential benefits of my new choices.

There is something special about knowing that somebody is curating a box with health consciousness in mind. Send Me Gluten Free’s monthly box is doing just that for the Gluten-Free community. Each month Send Me Gluten Free (SMGF) chooses 8-12 full size items to include in their monthly box, which allow for greater sampling of the available offerings for those with gluten sensitivity. They were generous enough to send me the April box to sample and review and included in the box were the following products.
