Salt Shooters

Image may contain: food


Are you looking for something fun to do at your summer party with your friends? Tequila is always fun to have at a party, but having it with the Salt Shooter kit makes it that much more fun. 

The first thing that I noticed about this kit that it was designed in festive  and colorful Mexican Art. This is a unique gift set that includes four 100% Himalayan Salt shot glasses. I have never seen anything like this before. They are cute and they come in handy. Also it will be the talk of the party. This kit also comes with a wooden serving tray. It also comes with a ceramic dish where you would put the limes.

What is neat that these shooters have a patented liner to keep the Tequila from becoming to salty. They are roughly about 3 inches big and hold 1.5 ounce of Tequila. The shooter shot glasses can be sold separately if you need more. 

What I find interesting about these shot glasses is that there is little care to clean them after use. It has pink Himalayan salt that is long lasting, naturally anti bacterial mineral so these glasses take a little care. When cleaning them make sure you don't put them in the dishwasher. This would ruin your shot glasses. All you need to do is wipe dry between each use. Then you can keep the shot glasses in the freezer for the perfect chill shot. 

When I saw this Himalayan Salt Tequila set I was impressed. Its a fun set to pull out while having a party. It has many cool aspects to it. The box itself is a topic to talk about. The art is amazing and fun. I also like that the kit has everything that you need. It gives you shot glasses that are a lot of fun. You get just the right amount of salt. It also comes with a tray and ceramic dish. This would make a great gift, you can find more at the link below.

Clif Bar

Are you looking for that extra boost in the morning or even the afternoon? Well I have the perfect product for you if you are. Clif Bar came out with new coffee flavor Clif Bars. I know when I'm at work that these bars come in handy. They are a perfect snack or that perfect pick me up when you need that extra boost. 

The three new flavors that we took a look at was their Dark Chocolate Mocha, Carmel Macchiato, and Vanilla Almond Latte. The first Clif Bar that we took a look at was their Dark Chocolate Mocha Flavor. This comes in a Fudgy Dark chocolate that is accented with roasted coffee notes. This has a bit of dark chocolate mocha and crunchy chocolate covered organic coffee beans, all in one. This will help you get that extra boost that you are looking for during the day.

The second bar that we took a look at was their Caramel Macchiato Flavor. This one is my favorite out of three that I was able to try. This has an amazing flavor of rich, buttery caramel and roasted coffee flavors that come together. I noticed when I was trying this bar that it had a crunchy chocolate cover organic coffee beans. This also has white mocha pieces to add to the flavor. 

The last flavor that we tried was their Vanilla Almond Latte. I will admit at first I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this flavor. I was pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed it. This has a creamy vanilla-flavored coffee blended with crunchy, chocolate covered organic coffee beans, white mocha chunks and roasted almonds to give it that extra boost. This one will leave you wanting more.

All three Clif Bars were pleasantly a great surprised. I know that I have tried their regular bars in the past and they are amazing.

Spice Madam


Do you have a cook in the family? Are you looking for a special gift for that special cook? Than you may want to take a look at the subscription service Madam Spices. What makes this subscription service special is that it will take you to destinations around the world. 

When we received our Madam Spices subscription box in the mail it came in a small rectangular box. When we opened it up we got some cute cut up paper with a note from their company which was a nice touch. After removing the paper we came to a nice wrapped up tissue paper with a sticker which added a nice touch to the box. We gently opened up the tissue paper to see what was inside. 

When I opened up the tissue paper the first card that I took out of the box said Biennvenue France. That is when I know that my box would feature spices from France. On this card it said welcome to France. It gave you a list of did you know facts. Which was nice learning a few things about France. Then we received three little bags of spices that we can use for the recipes that they included. We received the Herbs De Provence, Nutmeg and French Lavender. Then they provided 5 recipes in the box that you could use your spices for. They gave you a variety of different spices to make wonderful foods that our featured over in the French culture. Then they provided a card that shows you the France shopping list and menu plan and cooking guide. The last card is French Spice where it describes the spices that they sent you and the descriptions of them. 

Overall this is a fun box and it would make the perfect gift for someone who loves to cook. This would be a fun subscription box that they would receive in the mail and they would be able to use this on new recipes for the family. You can find their subscription boxes on their website on the link below.

Silver Spring

During the summer months I love cooking out on the grill. I also love having a nice hamburger and hotdog. The one condiment that I know that I have to put on my hotdog or burger is mustard. My daughter asked me a question the other day and asked me why are there so many different kinds of mustard. I explained to her it depends on what your making that different mustards come in handy. Sometimes you want an extra kick, or you just want plain mustard. 

Recently I was introduced to a company called Silver Spring. They offer a variety of different kinds of mustard on their website. When I checked out their website I noticed a few things that stood out to me. They have a tab where you can find recipes that you can try. This incorporates the different mustards that they offer on their website. I also enjoyed reading about the heritage of Silver Spring. 

When we received our mustard package in the mail. I was quite impressed with the presentation. It came in a nice box that showed a picture of a farm. The box Also had their name on the top. I also liked how the lid had their social media information and their website. When I opened up the box it was sectioned off in six different spot that had the mustard in those slots. 

Beer 'n Brat MustardThe first mustard that we pulled out of the box was their Beer and Mustard. This came in a 9.5 oz bottle. This mustard has a flavor profile which I thought that was neat. This mustard flavor profile: the texture is more coarse than yellow or dijon mustard with eye-watering heat and a broad range of mustard flavors. This mustard goes will with Bratwurst and sauerkraut, deli style sandwiches, summer sausage, deviled eggs, pretzels and beer. 

Spicy Sriracha SauceThe next sauce that we took out of the box was their Sriracha Sauce. This comes in a 8.5 fl oz bottle. This Sriracha Sauce is mane with sun-ripened chilies, garlic, and smoothed into pure creamy goodness that spice up any dish that you are making. The flavor to this Sriracha Sauce is creamy and tangy with a bold and spicy chili flavor. I was surprised with the dishes that they recommend this sauce for. Although I'm interested in trying it. The recommend dishes are Fish Tacos, Sandwiches, wraps and burgers, sweet potato fries, roasted vegetables, and Seared Ahi tuna or salmon. 
Jalapeño Mustard
The next mustard we took out of the box was their Jalapeno Mustard. This has jalpeno peppers in this mustered and they are known for their distinctive flavor as much as their heat. The flavoring of this mustard is a tangy yellow mustard with the spicy heat and rich flavor of Jalapeno peppers. This Jalapeno Mustard will pair well with hamburgers, potato salad, hot dogs, corn dogs, cuban sandwiches and pretzels.

Applewood Smoke Flavored HorseradishOne of my dads new favorite sauces that they sent was their Applewood Smoke Flavored Horseradish Sauce. This sauce has a creamy texture to it with a slightly sweet and you taste a little bit of smokey flavored.  You will defitinely taste the horseradish in this sauce. This Applewood Smoke Horseradish is recommended for baked or grilled salmon, grilled steak, potatoes, hot beef sandwich and great for dips.

Dijon Mustard Then we took a look at one of their original mustards. The Dijon Mustard that goes with almost anything. I consider this one of the classics for my family. They took a spin on the Dijon Mustard blends the flavors of white wine and mustard seed into a gourmet spark that will compliment any meal. The flavor of this mustard is a tangy and full bodied dijon with a creamy smooth texture. This pairs well with chicken, salmon, sandwiches and vinaigrette.

Chipotle MustardThe last mustard that we took out of the box was their Chipolte Mustard. If you like heat than this mustard is for you. They have the classic chipotle pepper into the versatility of mildly spicy mustard. The flavor of this mustard is a smokey, peppery mouth watering body with a semi-coarse texture and a tangy finish. This pairs well with bratwurst, sandwiches, chicken tenders, cheese platters, and sour cream to make a taco dip.

I was quite impressed with the variety of mustards that they have to offer. I was also impressed with the website and how I was able to get through website easily and see all the sauces and mustards. If you want to check out these amazing mustards and sauces you can find them at the link below.

Amelia Toffee

I will admit that I have a sweet tooth and I love all types of candy. I will admit I'm a huge fan of toffees. Although I will admit that I haven't had toffee in awhile and usually I get the toffee at the store. The store toffee is ok, but when I was able to try Amelia Toffee it was like tasting a piece of heaven. 

Amelia Toffee offers a variety of handmade toffees. That are made of perfection. We were excited when we were able to try four of their toffees. We were sent Sea Salt, Orange Bliss Toffee, Coffee Toffee and Bourbon Toffee.

The first toffee that we took a look at was their Bourbon Toffee. This came in a little cute box with the toffee inside. When I took the box out I liked out their was a ribbon wrapped around it and the label on the front letting me know what it was. Their Bourbon Toffee is mixed with a fine handcrafted bourbon which creates the perfect flavor profile of caramel and dark chocolate with a hint of oak. You will find every toffee piece sprinkled with roasted salted California almonds that give it that extra boost. 

The next flavor that we were able to try was their Coffee Toffee. If you are a huge coffee person like my dad is then this toffee is a great choice for you. This coffee flavor toffee is unique and has a bit of tradition in this recipe. What is unique about this recipe is that the coffee is brewed into their buttery toffee. Which to me is just unique. Then after doing that its then enrobed in dark chocolate. Then finishing touches it sprinkled with roasted salted California Almonds. This toffee is definitely my dads favorite out of the four. 

The next toffee that we were able to try was their Sea Salt Toffee and this was amazing and was my personal favorite. With the Sea Salt Caramel it was a little bit of heaven in your mouth and it was amazing.I had to force myself to put it down so I wouldn't eat it all in one setting. Their Sea Salt Toffee is their most traditional flavor using their grandmother's recipe. They cover every toffee piece with dark chocolate and sprinkle it with roasted salted almonds and for the final touch they dust it with seal salt.

The last toffee that we were able to try was their Orange Bliss Toffee. I was a little skeptic when I saw the name of this toffee and wasn't sure if I would like. This another unique toffee blend that they offer on their website. Since they are based in Florida they take advantages of the oranges that grow in Florida. They use the orange oil that is hand mixed in their buttery toffee. Which is unique to me and you can taste the orange with the dark chocolate and it taste amazing. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste and how amazing it was. 

These toffees were a treat. I would recommend them for a snack, treat, gift you name it. You will not go wrong with the toffees that they offer. I also like how they offer different shopping options. If you want a small bag your able to purchase that. If you would like a nicer gift box that is available also and you can gift it just like that as a gift. You can find their toffees on their website below.

Kabaki Purple Tea


My dad is a huge fan of teas and when he heard about Kenyan Kabaki Purple tea he was quite intrigued. I will admit that I never heard about Kenyan Kabaki Purple tea before. You will find this tea high in the valleys and mountain tops of Kenya. What is amazing is that you will find the fields of purple tea leaves glistening in the hot African sun.

This plant is the same single plant, Cameilla Sinesis, that gives us all our green and black teas. What is neat is that the African sun coupled with cool mountain air allow ultraviolet rays to deeply penetrate the tea leaves and bam the purple leaves are born. 

 We were able to review their unsweeten tea and lightly sweeten teas. The first tea that we took a look at was their unsweeten tea. This is a light and earthy body underscore notes of pomegranate and hibiscus in our pure proprietary blend of Kenyan Purple tea. This tea is refreshing and you will love every sip. This tea vitality having more polyphenols and antioxidants that green tea. There are some difference between your regular teas and this Kenyan Purple tea. There is more potent polyphenol. This tea supports cell health and brain function. This tea boost immune system and we all need that right now. This will help you feel energized naturally. This a little caffeine in this tea. This has all natural, organically grown ingredients and there are no chemical preservatives. What I also like is that this tea is brewed and bottled in the US.

The next tea that we took a look at was their Lightly Sweetened tea.  This tea has a touch of organic cane sugar in this tea to make a little sweet. This also has gentle notes of pomegranate and hibiscus come alive in their proprietary purple tea blend. This is a refreshing blend of tea that has an amazing taste to it. My dad is usually not fond of slightly sweeten tea, but he said he will make an exception for this tea. 

Overall my dad was very happy with this Kabaki Purple Tea. It was fun learning about Kenyan Kabaki tea and the history of this tea. Also if you are interested in trying this tea, there is a variety of different teas available to try. If you like Peach tea they also have that availale on their webpage as well. I would highly recommend checking these teas out on their website below

This syrup is a rich maple syrup from the Catskill Mountains is infused with Stumptown Coffee Roasters Hair Bender Blend, creating multidimensional tasting notes or dark chocolate, cherry, toffee, and fudge. 

The one thing that I really liked was that this was great over chocolate or vanilla ice cream and it sweetened it up a lot. People even put it in their cocktails. I'm not sure that I would do that, but it's an option. We also have tried it on pancakes and it tasted amazing.

 Mason has a few things that you need on hand to have a little fun at home. All you need to have is some Whiskey on hand. Eli Mason Old Fashioned 750ml Single Bottle. This is a great conversation starter if your having friends over or just wanting to have a good time when your at home. 

The Old Fashion is a true classing and can be inspiring. What I like about this old fashioned mixer is that it's handcrafted with cane sugar and premium bitters for a refined taste and rich texture. This bottle come in a 750ml size bottle and it easy to make drink. I feel like anyone can use this product without any problems. One of these bottle can make 30-38 serving while making a drink.

I know when you want to make a drink how do you measure. Sometimes I know I eyeball stuff, but that is when it get ruined for me. Thats when I learned about this cocktail measuring jigger this was everything I needed when I was making mix drinks. It came in handy and was easy to use.

One of my favorite product that I use on a daily basis is Hidden Valley Ranch. I use my ranch on almost everything like chicken strips, fries, salads and so much more. When I think about Hidden Valley all I think about is Ranch. I was not aware that they offer a variety of different products. I was excited to take a look a few of their new product that they have to offer. 

Smokehouse Secret SauceThe first new product that we took a look at was their Hidden Valley The Original Ranch Secret Sauce. This is a smokehouse which is savoy and smooth. This comes in a amazing bottle that has a great squeeze tip that make using this product that much easier. this comes in a 12 oz bottle. This has a a great smokey flavor to the sauce. What I really like about this sauce is that you can use it on chicken strips, burgers, hot dogs and even fries. This taste amazing and I would highly recommend adding this sauce to your entrees. 
Blazin’ Hot™
The next new sauce that we took a look at was their Hidden Valley Ranch Blasted Dipping Sauce. This sauce is Blazing Hot. This sauce is for my dad and son. I'm not a huge fan of really hot sauce. I tried a little bit and boy is this hot. It hotter that I can handle, but it tasted amazing. This is a very blazing sauce that has buttermilk, habanero pepper, onion and vinegar flavor. This is great for all different kind of food, but I personally would recommend putting it on your burger. 

Spicy Secret SauceThe last sauce that we took a look at was their Hidden Valley Ranch Secret Sauce Spicy. This is similar to the first sauce that we took a look at, but this one has more of a kick to it. If your like my dad and likes that extra kick to it then this would be for you. This is a spicy ranch flavor to your next meal. When trying this sauce its a creamy texture to it. This great if you want to give your tacos that extra kick. I would highly recommend this sauce.

Garlic ParmesanThe next line of product that we got to try was their Hidden Valley Ranch Deluxe Cheese Ranch Dip Garlic Parmesan. Personally I am a huge fan of Parmesan and Romano cheeses. So when I learned about this new cheese I knew that I had to try it. This is a blend of Parmesan and Romano Cheese, garlic, herbs, and spices enhance every bite. 

Aged CheddarThe last item that we took a look at was their Hidden Valley Ranch Cheese and Ranch Dip. This is a decadent pairing of aged to perfection cheddar and the classic ranch taste you crave. Perfect for veggie platters or your favorite snacks. This is great for on the go dip. 

I was excited to try a few of their new products and they were amazing. I was quite impressed with the quality and taste of their products. Before now I only thought that Hidden Valley Ranch was ranch and not the other product that they have to offer. I would recommend using their cheese spreads at a party. It amazing and I would highly recommend trying these products out. I would recommend going to their website and taking a look.

Original Gel Shots

I know times are tough during this time. I know personally with this shut home order it has been a few months stuck at home and it gets old pretty quickly. I remember able to go out with friends and able to go to the bar and have a good time. Although that is not possible at the time to go out and have a good time. Original jel Shot can share a good time and deliver their amazing jel Shots to your home. 

Go Big or Go Home -  Party TrayJel Shots offers a few different options on their website. They are packs of four in a variety of different flavors. They also offer a party tray on their website also. We received a party tray to try and let me tell you we had a party.

We definitely needed this party tray during this hard time. I know that we missed spring break due to the virus and now we can party at home. Each party tray includes 30 individual party shots. What is nice is I could never make jello shots that taste amazing. That is why I instantly fell in love with Jel Shots because it not messy and they taste amazing with little work possible. All you have to do is take the lid off and take the shot. Also what is amazing about these Jel Shots that they don't need to be refrigerator. Which is amazing because you have to fight to put them in your refrigerator. 

This tray offers three different flavors Jel shots. The flavors that is in this tray are Peach, Watermelon and Raspberry. In this pack they have 10 of each flavor. When I tried all three Jel Shots they all tasted amazing, but if I had to choose my favorite it would be the Raspberry. When you try a shot you can't just put it down due them tasting amazing. 

I know things are rough during this time but Jel Shots can bring a little fun into your household and you can have a nice night in. These would be great having them listening to music and playing cards. Right now if you go on their website you can purchase one tray and get one free. Make sure you stop by their website and check them out.

Dwarf Stars

Vegan Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Seed Butter CupI know there are times where people can't enjoy peanut butter cups due to being allergic to peanut butter. To me I don't know what I would do if I couldn't have a peanut butter cup. They are my favorite time of treat. Well recently I connected with Dwarf Stars and they offer a variety of different peanut butter cups that people who are allergic can consume them and they don't have to .

Strawberries & Creme Vegan White Chocolate Pumpkin Seed Butter CupsThey offer a selection of Better-For-You Butter Cups. What I like about these that they come in different flavors like strawberry, carrot cake, milk chocolate, sugar free and more. What makes this peanut butter cup different is that you bite into a pumpkin seed butter cup. You would never guess in a million years that its allergy friendly treat. All of their treats are peanut free, tree nut free, dairy free, gluten free and soy free and they are vegan. They also offer sugar free which is keto friendly. 

We were able to try several different packs that they sent to me. The one out of the four that I really liked was their strawberry peanut butter cup. This one was different but I liked the flavors. I could really taste the strawberry and it tasted amazing. When trying this flavored cup you could get a bite of strawberry with every bite. My dad tried the dark chocolate one because dark chocolate is his favorite. I'm not a huge fan of dark chocolate. When he tried this chocolate flavor peanut butter cup he enjoyed it a lot. He said it was not bad at all. 

You will find other friendly snacks on their website also. They offer a variety of different snacks besides the peanut butter snacks. I was quite impressed on how well it tasted and I will recommend it to my friends who are allergic to peanut butter. You can find their treats on their website.

Hippi Tea

Hippi CBD Tea Twin Pack

Are you looking for a tea to enjoy? Are you looking more into CBD products? Than I may have a product that combines the two that you may want to try. Hippi Tea offers two types of that is infused with CBD that will help your relax. They offer Mellow CBD Herbal Tea and Daydreamer CBD Black Tea.

We received their CBD Tea Twin Pack to take a look at. In each box it contains 14 tea packets. In each serving there is 10mg CBD Per Serving. Daydreamer tea is recommend for your daily activities and Mellow is recommend for drinking before bedtime and helps your relax.

The Hippi Daydreamer Black CBD tea is an organic black tea to produce a rich and delicious CBD tea. This tea can be consumed anytime of the day. Then there is their Mellow caffeine free CBD and this helps you relax. I would recommend this at night to help you wind down in the evening. 

This is what you need to make your tea. The first thing that you need is to Steep. You should steep for about 3-5 minutes. When you let this sit longer the flavor will become stronger. If you don't want it to be strong don't let steep for too long. If you want it strong than let it steep longer if that makes sense. 

The next step is to stir. You can stir your tea during or after your tea has steeped. They recommend to gentle stir the tea. This will help ensure that the CBD that is infused in the tea has fully dissolved into your drink.

Then bam your all done and ready to drink your tea!! If you are interested in learning more about tea that is infused with the CBD. I would recommend taking a moment and checking out their website.
