Stainless Steel Herb Scissors By X-Chef Review


If you love to cook, then the Herb Scissors from X-Chef is of great help in the kitchen but, if you love veggies and salads, then this product is a must have in the kitchen. Ever since I became a little bit health conscious, I try to eat and serve as much veggies, green salads or use herbs when cooking. Before the X-Chef scissors, I just use an ordinary knife to make my salad so that's why I was so excited to try this product.
I received the scissors neatly packed in a box. It came with a protective plate cover and a service zone manual. Just be careful when sliding the scissors in the case.
 The scissors have 5 blades included. I like this specific design because it cuts and saves time cutting leafy veggies and herbs.
Sometimes, 1 of the outer blade doesn't go in the case and it can hurt your fingers. So be sure that all 5 blades are in before pushing the scissors inward. The culinary scissors are made from food-grade stainless steel so they're always safe to use with veggies/herbs and heavy-duty steel rivets that hold scissor blades together securely so they always perform consistently. The handle looks durable and has a non slip grip for easy and fast cutting. It has 5 sharp blades that make it easy to cut large quantity efficiently. Now I can cut and produce chopped herbs directly as I put it in my dish or plate. I can cut, chop, mince, trim, snip, and shear my salad with just the X-Chef scissors. It makes preparing the salad specially for parties more convenient and less straining. I definitely love this in my kitchen.

The Purple Tractor "On The Move" Medium Roast Coffee Beans Review


 I can't last a day without drinking coffee. Yes, I might be addicted to caffeine since I feel sluggish and slow if I don't have my coffee kick for the day. Since I leave home at around 5 in the morning, I would drink my coffee or often bring one on the go to help me stay awake. When I received the medium roast coffee beans from The Purple Tractor, I was super excited to try it. Here is a short description from the company:

100% Arabica Bean Blend
Certified Organic
Fair Trade
Origin: Honduras, Mexico, Ethiopia
Elevation: 1300-1800 Meters
Process: Fully Washed & Natural
Roast Profile: Medium
Cup Notes: Refreshing Walnut and Maple Syrup

On The Move is a medium roast that has everything necessary to keep you going all day. This coffee brews great as espresso, drip, or French press coffee. Its clean feel starts off strong and the transitions into a silky smooth, butter finish. This is the most perfect all around coffee, great for anyone from a novice to a pro. The connoisseur will respect it as truly high quality coffee and the novice will ditch the cream and sugar once and for all.

The first thing I noticed when I received the sealed package of coffee from The Purple Tractor was the aroma of coffee. From the sealed packaging, the nice aroma of the coffee beans were already seeping through.

Since I have a manual coffee grinder at home, I grind just what I'll use and brewed it on my Keurig, using my reusable K-cups.

The taste is a bit stronger than my medium roast at home but I like how fresh the taste is. The smooth and subtle nutty flavor is perfect with my non-dairy creamer and sugar. The bitterness is there but not enough to leave any aftertaste on my mouth. I like the taste of this coffee and I like how it starts my day right.

The packaging is resealable so it keeps the coffee beans fresh. For those who loves coffee and would love to try a new one, this one is a must. It is a bit more expensive compared to the ones in the market but is a must-try.

Chef Christiane's Brazilian Gourmet Hot Sauce Review


I like hot sauces but always preferred the milder flavor because I'm not used to sauces and dishes which are too spicy. When I received the Chef Christiane's Brazilian Gourmet Hot Sauce, I looked forward to trying it because this has a milder spiciness level.
 Here is a short product description from the company:

-  Made with Malagueta Peppers from Brazil Tastes great on chips, Mexican Food, sandwiches, meat, etc.
Made with all natural ingredients - no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no artificial preservatives, and no artificial ingredients

The Chef Christiane's Brazilian Gourmet Hot Sauce arrived in a 5 oz. bottle. The description of the sauce, ingredients used and other information are printed on the label.

I like the mild spicy flavor of the Chef Christiane's Brazilian Gourmet Hot Sauce. It has mild spiciness with a subtle kick at the end. I like using it as a dipping sauce as well as add a little bit to some dishes I cook.

The Chef Christiane's Brazilian Gourmet Hot Sauce is perfect for me because the spiciness is there but, not to the extent of me breaking a sweat. It has a subtle sweetness to it and I like that I can use it in different purposes.

Quaker Oats Oatmeal BzzCampaign #GotItFree

Quaker_Oats.jpg
I've been a member of BzzAgent for quite some time now and I love getting in on their BzzCampaigns. A few months back, I was invited to join the Quaker Oats BzzCampaign and I was sent 2 boxes of Quaker Oats Oatmeal and some money saving coupons to share with friends and family.
Quaker_Oats.jpg
The Steel Cut Quick 3-Minute Oatmeal comes in 2 flavors and I was sent the Blueberries and Cranberries one.
Quaker_Oats.jpg
It has real bits of blueberries and cranberries.
Quaker_Oats.jpg
I like my oatmeal a bit dry and a bit gritty so I loved this! The sweetness is just right for me and I like how easy this is to prepare. The bits and pieces of cranberries and blueberries complement the oatmeal very well.

The second one I received was the Quaker Protein Instant Oatmeal. This comes in 2 flavors as well and I was sent the Cranberry Almond one. Each serving of the Quaker Protein Instant Oatmeal has 10 grams of protein which is great because I happily eat this during breakfast.

The sweetness is just right for me and I also love the bits of cranberries and the sliced almonds in this oatmeal.

I now buy this regularly and I love how I got to try these great tasting Instant Oatmeal from Quaker Oats. Thanks Quaker and BzzAgent!

DISCLOSURE: I am a member of BzzAgent and was invited to a campaign to try and review the Kashi Hummus Chips. I received a full size sample to try and make a review of the product and no other form of compensation was given. All opinions are honest and based on my own experience.

No More Soggy Sandwiches With Perfect Sandwich Review + #Giveaway 5/25 US/CAN


Perfect_Sandwich.jpg
One thing I hate about sandwiches is when the bread starts becoming soggy. That's why, I always ensure that when I eat a sandwich, it's freshly made and I eat it within 10 minutes after making it. When I received the Perfect Sandwich, I couldn't wait to try it because in one lunch box, I can pack a sandwich and eat it at a later time without compromising my sandwich, specially the bread.
Perfect_Sandwich.jpg
Here is a quick summary of the Perfect Sandwich from the company:
What is Perfect Sandwich? Quite truthfully it’s the only solution to the age old soggy sandwich problem. Americans consume over 45 billion sandwiches every year! And yet, despite this astonishing number, not one company has come up with a solution to the soggy sandwich problem……. until now.

Perfect Sandwich is a patented, one of a kind lunch solution that enables the diner-on-the-go to separate the fresh ingredients from the bread until mealtime, all while keeping it’s contents chilled for up to 8 hours.

- Perfect Sandwich is the ONLY product in the market to separate the wet from the dry and truly address sandwich sogginess and overall freshness.
- With its FLEXtech Divider, Perfect Sandwich is the ONLY product in the market to offer this amount of consumer versatility in a container of its size.
- With its PerfectCHILL technology, Perfect Sandwich keeps contents within the USDA guidelines for perishable foods of under 40F degrees for 5 hours and under room temperature for a full 8 hours.
- Perfect Sandwich eliminates the need for costly disposable bags, plastic and aluminum wraps, styrofoam and other food storage solutions by providing a reusable, self-cooling container to transport your food.
- Perfect Sandwich is BPA free, dishwasher safe and extremely durable. A container to be enjoyed of many years.
- It's used for far more than just sandwiches...

Perfect_Sandwich.jpg
The Perfect Sandwich has a bottom green PerfectCHILL® cool pack which can be placed in the freezer. It is a reusable cooling pack which is very effective in keeping veggies and deli meats cool.
Perfect_Sandwich.jpg
It has a nice size perfect for the ingredients needed for the ingredients for a personal sandwich.
Perfect_Sandwich.jpg
The veggies stay cool and fresh as well as the deli meat (if ever I like to add meat to my sandwich). Aside from keeping the veggie and deli meat fresh and cool, this helps separate these from the bread to keep the bread fresh and not soggy.
Perfect_Sandwich.jpg
Perfect_Sandwich.jpg
The top part is used to hold the bread. For bread alone, the top part can be popped up to hold 2 slices of bread.
Perfect_Sandwich.jpg
The top part can also be pushed down to accommodate a fully made sandwich.
Perfect_Sandwich.jpg
The top cover can be locked to prevent the contents inside from spilling.

The Perfect Sandwich is the perfect lunch box to use when I want to bring a sandwich and eat it later because it effectively keeps the bread from being soggy and it keeps veggies and deli meat fresh.

The Perfect Sandwich is very well made and I like the quality feel of the materials used. I don't need multiple containers/plastics to separate the ingredients for my sandwich which I think is also nice.

I wash this by hand (since I wash all our dishes and pans by hand) but it says that it's also dishwasher safe.

Flourless Almond Banana Coconut Pancakes Recipe + Giveaway 5/4 US

Morning_Pep_Coconut_Flour.jpg
I love coconut. In the Philippines, ground old coconut is placed on top of delicacies like "bibingkas" and "pichi-pichi", to name a few of my favorites, and I LOVE to sprinkle a lot of extra ground cocomut on top because I love the coconut taste. I also love drinking "buko" juice (coconut juice) with shredded young coconut. So, when I was given the chance to try the Coconut Flour, which honestly I'm not familiar with, I grabbed the chance because I love coconut. :)

Morning Pep sent me a 4 lb. bag and a 1 lb. bag of their 100% Organic Coconut Flour and I was excited to try it. Before I share with you my recipe, here's something about the Morning Pep's 100% Organic Coconut Flour from the company:
  • 100% pure organic Coconut flour; Vegan, gluten-free, Kosher and USDA certified organic by Control Unio
  • Coconut flour is High in fiber and low in sodium and digestible carbohydrates, and very low in cholesterol
  • Coconut Flour is Delicious and is a Healthy alternative to wheat and other grain flours
  • Coconut Flour is an excellent source of dietary fiber that facilitates healthy digestion and absorption of vitamins and minerals
  • Morning Pep Coconut Flour is Packaged in a convenient resealable stand up pouches to preserve freshness and purity
Morning_Pep_Coconut_Flour.jpg
I received the Morning Pep's Coconut Flour in a 4 lb. and a 1 lb. bag. Both are in a plastic stand-up bag with a resealable top.

Since I'm already fond of Morning Pep's Almond Flour, I decided to substitute the Morning Pep's Coconut Flour to my Flourless Almond Banana Pancakes.

For this recipe, I used:
- 4 Tbsp. Morning Pep Coconut Flour
- 1/4 Cup of Vanilla Soy Milk
- 2 Bananas
- 2 Eggs (can be with or without the yolk)
- 1 tsp. Baking Powder
- 1/8 Cup almonds
- butter (for the pan when cooking the pancakes)
Morning_Pep_Coconut_Flour.jpg
First, I mash the bananas in a bowl.
Morning_Pep_Coconut_Flour.jpg
Then, I combine all the remaining ingredients in the bowl with the mashed bananas.
Morning_Pep_Coconut_Flour.jpg
I mix the pancake batter until it's well-mixed. The batter wouldn't look as smooth as a normal flour pancake because of the banana.
Morning_Pep_Coconut_Flour.jpg
I heat the pan to low heat, place a small amount of butter (just enough so that the pancakes wouldn't stick) and then place approximately 1 tablespoon of the pancake batter.

I suggest doing smaller-sized pancakes when cooking this because compared to a flour-based pancake, the Flourless Almond Banana Coconut Pancake crumbles easier.
Morning_Pep_Coconut_Flour.jpg
The Morning Pep's Coconut Flour gave my pancakes a subtle hint of coconut taste which really complemented the bananas and almonds. It has a natural sweetness to it which contributed to the natural sweetness of the bananas.

I like how the Coconut Flour replaces a regular flour because it has lower carbs, high fiber content and is very low in cholesterol. For those who are looking for gluten-free food and alternatives, this is a must try because it taste really good.

I can't wait to try other recipes using the Morning Pep's Coconut Flour. :)

You can purchase the Morning Pep's Coconut Flour in a 1 lb. bag or a 4 lb. bag on Amazon.

Would you like to win either a 4 lb. bag of Morning Pep's Coconut Flour or a 5 lb. bag of Morning Pep's Almond Flour? Well, I'm very excited to share with you that Morning Pep has generously offered a giveaway for either of the 2 bags (your choice)! Just head on over to the rafflecopter form below to enter. :) **NOTE: Winner will have to leave a review on Amazon for the bag they choose. Good Luck! :)

About Kiva: 
At Kiva, we strive to provide you with innovative food from around the world that is great tasting, healthy and of the highest quality. We are committed to using only ingredients that are sourced directly from local farmers that practice sustainable and eco-friendly methods.


MY REVIEW:

We love to broil our meat and fish because it's super easy to do. When I received the Kiva Hot and Sweet Smoked Spanish Paprika, I looked forward to try it because this is actually the first time I had a Paprika powder at home.

I tried this on our broiled salmon and chicken. I mixed it with our Montreal Steak seasoning and sprinkled it on top of the salmon and chicken.

The Kiva Sweet Smoked Spanish Paprika gave the broiled salmon and chicken a smokey taste with a mild hint of spiciness and sweetness. It tasted great and I really liked it.

The Kiva Hot Smoked Spanish Paprika tasted a bit spicier with a smokey taste. I have a low tolerance to spiciness so coming from me, the Hot Smoked Spanish Paprika has the right spiciness for me. It does have a spicy kick at the end but not enough for me to not like it. :)

I like how these 2 seasoning tasted and I like how easy they are to use.

Gogo SqueeZ Fruit & VeggieZ Review for #BzzAgent #GotItFree

GoGoSqueeZFruit&VeggieZ.jpg
I've been a BzzAgent member for quite some time now and recently, I was able to get in on the GoGo Squeez Fruit & VeggieZ campaign. Since my daughters are picky eaters, I was so excited to try the GoGo Squeez Fruit & VeggieZ to see if they would like it.
GoGoSqueeZFruit&VeggieZ.jpg
There are 4 flavors available and I was able to choose the flavor I wanted. I chose the Boulder Berry flavor and it contains Apple, Carrot, Raspberry, Strawberry and Blueberry. The 3 other flavors are:
GoGoSqueeZFruit&VeggieZ.jpg
The GoGo SqueeZ Fruit & VeggieZ is great for kids because according to GoGo SqueeZ:
  • They’re made with 100% all-natural fruits and veggies and NO high-fructose corn syrup, GMOs or added colors, flavors or preservatives.
  • They’re Kosher certified, never watered down and always gluten, nut and dairy free.
The pouches of the GoGo SqueeZ Fruit & VeggieZ are BPA-free and resealable.
GoGoSqueeZFruit&VeggieZ.jpg
My daughters were so excited to try the GoGo SqueeZ Fruit & VeggieZ in Boulder Berry flavor and they liked the taste. I tried it too, just so that I know how it tasted, and it tasted like apple sauce. It has a thick consistency, similar to apple sauce, and I was glad that they liked it.

Here are some fun facts from the GoGo SqueeZ website:

So, what makes this stuff taste so great?

Behind every squeeZ is a team of people dedicated to bringing the orchard straight to your snack time:
  • The company sources all their fruits and veggies from the good ole USA — we’re talking evolved farms and orchards that use the best ecological practices to grow and harvest produce, keeping the use of any chemical agents to a bare minimum
  • They also remove and recycle the peels on all the fruit they use, so your kids get pure squeezable goodness with no hidden nonsense

What makes the packaging top-notch, too?

Here are a few benefits of the unique and convenient packaging that should make your day a little breezier:
  • The resealable pouches have a built-in straw, making them a no-spoon, no-mess way to enjoy all-natural fruits and veggies on the go
  • All packaging is BPA- and phthalate-free
  • GoGo squeeZ can be enjoyed at high altitudes; head through the security line safely at the airport
  • Pop it in the freezer for a healthy popsicle. Call it a Fro-Go! Definitely no utensils needed there.
  • GoGo-copter cap! The helicopter design cap makes it easier for kids to open GoGo squeeZ independently and uses 40% less plastic than the standard large pouch cap
After trying out the GoGo SqueeZ Fruit & VeggieZ, I love how my daughters are able to "eat" veggies without me having to force them. I am looking forward to try the other flavors as well because they sound delicious too.

SalsaCrazy Habanero Bloody Mary Mix Review


SalsaCrazyHabaneroBloodyMary.jpg
ABOUT THE PRODUCT:
  • SalsaCrazy Hot and Spicy Bloody Mary Mix
  • From the People that brought you the Salsa Mastery System
  • Fresh, Natural, and HOT - The Perfect Bloody Mary
  • No added fillers
MY REVIEW:

Honestly, I've never tried a Bloody Mary drink before. Upon receiving the SalsaCrazy's Habanero Bloody Mary Mix, I was quite scared on how this would taste. I followed a recipe I found online and since I can't tolerate too much heat/spiciness, I only placed a little amount of the SalsaCrazy Habanero Bloody Mary Mix. At first, I didn't really felt the heat from the SalsaCrazy but after a few more sips, I tasted the "kick" of the bloody mary mix. It's spicy and good thing I only placed a little amount, or I couldn't have continued drinking my drink.
You can purchase the Salsa Crazy's Bloody Mary Mix HERE with free shipping if you are a Prime member.

Not Your Usual Banana Almond Pancakes Recipe Using Morning Pep's Almond Flour + Giveaway 5/4 US

MorningPepAlmondFlour.jpg
I love pancakes but I try to limit and stay way from eating it because of the carbs. I eat it once in a while but there are days when I just crave for them. I feel guilty when I give in to my cravings and honestly, I feel bad if I don't.

Thanks to my sister, I learned and loved a recipe to satisfy my cravings without having to sacrifice my guilt when I eat pancakes made from flour.

I've never heard about Almond Flour before and honestly, I wouldn't have learned about this kind of flour and recipe if not for my sister. So, thanks to her, I learned this yummy, easy to make, homemade Not Your Usual Banana Almond Pancake. Read on below for the recipe. :)
MorningPepAlmondFlour.jpg
When I received the Almond Flour from Morning Pep, I was excited to see how it would compare to a regular pancake. Their Almond Flour is available in 2 sizes: a 5 lb. bag and a 2 lb. bag. Both are in resealable plastic packages to easily retain the freshness of the almond flour once opened.

The Almond Flour has a yellowish color and looks much coarser than a regular flour. It also doesn't have any smell.

Here is a quick product description from the company:
  • Made from 100% all-natural Certified Gluten-Free by GFCO blanched almonds
  • Substitute for wheat flour in cakes, breads, cookies, muffins and more.
  • Great source of dietary fiber, Vitamin E, protein, iron, magnisium & calcium
  • Very finely-ground it Gives baked goods and sweets a rich flavor and moist texture
  • Certified Kosher And Gluten Free with No additives or preservatives.
MorningPepAlmondFlour.jpg
We used the ingredients above to make approximately 7 pieces of 6" inch diameter pancakes:
- 1/3 Cup Morning Pep Almond Flour
- 2 Bananas
- 1/4 tsp. Baking Powder
- 2 Eggs
- Pinch of Salt
- Optional: 7 pcs. whole raw almonds (I crushed it manually since I don't have crushed almonds at home)
MorningPepAlmondFlour.jpg
First, I mashed the bananas in a large bowl.
MorningPepAlmondFlour.jpg
Add the 2 eggs on the mashed bananas.
MorningPepAlmondFlour.jpg
Add 1/3 cup of the Almond Flour from Morning Pep.
MorningPepAlmondFlour.jpg
Add 1/4 tsp. of baking powder into the mixture and a pinch of salt. Then mix.

Optional: I added the crushed almonds after the salt and the baking powder. If you don't like to add in crushed almonds, you can skip that part and proceed to the directions below. :)
MorningPepAlmondFlour.jpg
Next, I heated our pan and placed a bit of butter to prevent the Banana Almond Pancakes from sticking to the pan. Cook similar to a regular pancake.
MorningPepAlmondFlour.jpg
Serve with our without syrup. I prefer to eat it by itself with no syrup because the natural sweetness of the fresh bananas is already in the Banana Almond Pancakes.
MorningPepAlmondFlour.jpg
My daughter, on the other hand, prefers to add a little bit of syrup on her Banana Almond Pancakes.

This recipe is a hit in our family and I'm really happy that it tasted really good. I only needed a small amount of the Almond Flour to make approximately 7 pieces of the 6 inch diameter pancakes, so the 5 lb. bag will last a long time.

I like how I can satisfy my pancake cravings without having to feel guilty after eating it because of the Banana Almond Pancake recipe my sister taught me. These pancakes also makes me feel full faster and longer. I like the high protein content and the lower carbs in each serving of our Banana Almond Pancake.
