Almondina Toastees Review & Giveaway

Almondina cookies have been on the market for over a quarter of a century.  Almondina now introduces Toastees, a new snack/cookie, that is the first product introduced by the next generation of the Almondina family.

Almondina Toastees are the perfect all natural snack with coffee, tea,
yogurt or ice cream or paired with your favorite cheese. 
Baked then toasted gives Almondina the perfect crisp crunch. 
Perfect anytime of the day snack. 

Almondina Toastees are wonderfully crunchy and does not have to be (paired with something else to be enjoyed). However, it is a delightful accompaniment for
​coffee, tea, soft cheeses and fine light wines.
The rush to eliminate fat from gourmet foods too often has also eliminated most of the flavor, a fact which is in sharp contrast to this enticingly delicious cookie.

The Delicious Cookie Without the Guilt®.  The kitchen that brought the all-natural, crispy almond cookie with no cholesterol, added fat, salt, preservatives, or trans fat, proudly announces that it has created Toastees™!  This all natural, twice baked almond crisp with a few simple ingredients is The Delicious Crisp without the Guilt™.  Like all Almondina® products it has no cholesterol, no added fat, salt, trans fat, or preservatives and is dairy free.  Toastees™ also has 1 to 2 grams of protein and only 60 - 70 calories per serving (4 pieces). Deliciously Snackable & Crunchy! They are great out of the bag or with toppings.

Coconut Orange Almond Toastees are my favorite. They have a great coconut taste with a hint of orange. Perfect with a cup of tea, but even alone just as a snack. I like the thinness, crispness and the toasted almonds spread throughout each bite.

The Right Cup Review & Giveaway

The Right Cup is the first ever fruit flavor cup that leads your brain to believe the plain water you are drinking is flavored.
Trick your brain, drink more water.

The Right Cup comes in 4 flavors with a 5th in the works. 
Mixed Berry  ~ Red Color Cup
Orange ~ Orange Color Cup
Apple ~ Green Color Cup
Peach ~ Peach Color Cup
In the Works ~ Cola ~ Brown Color Cup

I'm good about drinking water, so this cup doesn't help me much. But for someone that doesn't their share of daily water, this cup would be perfect for them. 
Each cup smells like it states, mixed berry, orange, apple or peach. 
When you fill it full or cold water or plain seltzer water it tricks your brain into thinking you are drinking something other than water. The water or seltzer isn't going to taste like the fruit smell, it's the smell that tricks your brain into thinking you are drinking the fruit smell. 
​
The overall flavor experience is a result of the combination between scent and taste. While the tongue only tastes 5 sensations (sweet, bitter, sour, salty and umami), it is the sense of smell that's responsible for 80% of the flavor experience. 
That's why when your nose is stuffed, you hardly taste any flavors at all.

We took the same FDA approved aromatic fruit flavors which beverage companies use in their drinks, and by using proprietary technology we've managed to safely insert them directly into the
The Right Cup instead of into the drink. 
Our unique design positions your nose right over the opening, so your nose fully picks up the fruit aroma while your tongue flirts with a hint of sweet taste. 
As a result, your brain is led to believe you're drinking deliciously flavored water, while in fact you're drinking natural, healthy water. Simply pour pure water into The Right Cup and enjoy the flavor your brain craves while your body will get the healthy hydration it needs, without any of the junk.

If you have kids that don't drink enough water, spending to much money on sugary drinks, trying to loose weight or just want to reduce water bottle waste give The Right Cup a try. It's not very big ( I do hope they come out with a bigger cup soon) right now this cup holds about a cup of water. But it's a good start tostop drinking sweet drinks. 
Get one in each flavor. 

Over 18 thousand people have backed this company. 
When you contribute to their goal you will be rewarded with
The Right Cup

Kid Licks Organic ~ Edible ~ Polish Review & Giveaway

With four young kids, the creators of Kid Licks have seen kids try to eat just about every gross thing known to man. They've made peace with most of it - food off the floor, sand at the beach, hair balls, some grosser stuff they don’t like to relive. But they at least try to make sure that the stuff they put on their kids’ hands is safe.
Since they weren't able to find a food based nail polish anywhere on the market, they decided to make one the way they would want it to be made, with a full list of ingredients and nothing in it that doesn't belong in their kids’ bellies, because that’s where it could very well end up.

Audrey is the brains behind Kid Licks. She’s the one who, while watching her daughter try to eat another company’s supposedly kid-friendly polish that was really just chemicals in a bottle, came up with an idea – an edible kid’s polish. Audrey is also the ambassador and key tester. She’s out there every week showing other parents how to use this stuff and make their kid’s play time just a little bit healthier and a little bit less stressful.

Josh came up with the Kid Licks formula itself. He spent several months mixing up all sorts of goo, consulting with chemists and food safety experts and eventually working with manufacturers and laboratories to put the finishing touches on the product.

​Kid Licks comes in 3 totally fun colors for your little one. I have the Acacia Pink. It's an adorable and subtle color that's perfect for little girls and moms who don't want to be to flashy but want to add a splash of color to their finger tips. Kid Licks also comes in a vibrant Beet Red and Sour Carrot Orange so no matter what mood you are in your can highlight it with the proper color.

​All of Kid Licks polishes are vegan, non-GMO and cruelty free.
​

​ Kid Licks is made right here in the United States which I absolutely love. All the ingredients are completely edible so you don't need to worry about your little one consuming some. We all know how many times kids fingers end up in their mouths. With Kid Licks you can rest assure there will be no toxic ingredients included. All Kid Licks nail polishes are made from fruits, vegetables and other plants.

​One of the many things that I love about Kid Licks is that this polish is easy to remove. You don't need to cover your kids nails with chemicals to get the polish off. All you will need is water and a little elbow grease. I was even able to peal it off when I wanted to take it off.  Kid Licks will dry within 5 minutes but you can speed up that process if you use a hair dryer. It does take a few hours to totally cure so it is suggested to be applied at night before bed. That way it can cure while your lil one sleeps so they are set to show off their color throughout the next day.

Once the bottle ofKid Licks has been open it is best to be stored in the refrigerator since it is made completely from edible products. It will last for up to two months after opening if kept in the fridge. Kid Licks is safe for all ages just make sure if your child is under the age of 5 that you help them or paint their nails for them. 

You can purchase these polishes individually or in a set of all three. They are $12.99 each or you can save and buy all three for $32.99. You can get free shipping within the U.S. if you spend over $25!!! YAY!!! 

Purchase your Kid Licks directly off their website and they will be shipped right to your door.      http://kidlicks.com/       

GIVEAWAY!!!!

Would you like to win a bottle of Kid Licks to try? Kid Licks is giving away one bottle of Beet Red polish to one very lucky Simple Side of life reader.

Imagine Foods Broth Review

For over 30 years, Imagine Foods has dedicated themselves to providing premium organic and natural foods. Their products are made with real, whole ingredients such as organic chicken, garden-grown vegetables and fresh herbs — with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Many other soup makers rely on cutting corners by primarily using powders, pastes or concentrates. You can see the difference on their labels and you can taste the difference in their products.

Imagine brand broths and stocks are perfect for all of your meals. We have been using the Free Range Chicken Broth in 100 ways. Add it to a gravy, bake chicken in it or even just warm it up and drink it straight. It is absolutely delicious.  Imagine makes a broth for every dish. ~Free Range Chicken Broth ~Low Sodium Free Range Chicken Broth ~Vegetable Broth ~Low Sodium Vegetable Broth ~Vegetarian No-Chicken Broth ~Low Sodium Vegetarian No-Chicken Broth ~Organic Beef Flavored Broth ~Kosher Chicken Broth ~Low Sodium Kosher Chicken Broth ~Chicken Cooking Stock ~Low Sodium Chicken Stock ~Vegetable cooking Stock ~Beef Flavored Cooking Stock ~Beef Low Sodium Cooking Stock

One of our family favorites is to make a cream sauce with the Free Range Chicken Broth and cook our chicken in it so it soaks into the meat and creates a tender juicy meal.

My favorite thing about this recipe is it only takes one pan to make the entire meal so clean up is a snap. 
​
Fry chicken in 1 table spoons of olive oil to desired crispiness.
Remove chicken
​In the same pan as the chicken drippings on medium heat whisk
1 cup of Imagine chicken broth
1/2 cup of Heavy Whipping Cream
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
Whisk until creamy.
Stir in 1 cup of fresh spinach
Return the chicken to the pan
Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes ​

Butcher Box ~ Grass Fed Beef & More delivered Monthly to your Door

Every other Sunday I make a menu & grocery list for the upcoming meals. 
In my menu planning I add some sort of grass fed meat every other day. 
We only have 2 stores in our small town that sell grass fed meats so I always made my shopping list geared to those stores, even though they are not my favorite to shop at. 
Since I was introduced to Butcher Box I no longer have to shop at those stores. 
​I just order my grass fed meat online and have it delivered to my front door. 
I can also stop receiving Butcher Box whenever I want. There is no contract. 
The meat you will receive is some of the best quality I have ever had. 
I will start by saying I usually don't eat pork, unless it's in the form of bacon. Pork chops or other forms of pork (besides bacon)are rarely cooked in my home. Just because I am not a fan, the taste and texture grosses me out. But, I received my Butcher Box and in it was 4 bone in pork chops. I defrosted 2 and let them sit in my fridge 3 days while I went back and forth if I was actually going to make them or pawn them off to my neighbor. Last night I finally gave them a try. Oh my, they were excellent. Unlike any pork chop I have ever made. I will include my recipe below. I am not sure if it's the grass fed part of the pork chops or that they came from Butcher Box, but they truly were excellent. I am actually looking forward to making the other two in my freezer. 
Menu & shopping has become much easier with
Butcher Box. 

When I came home on a Saturday after a nice hike I found this box sitting at my front door. I was worried at first since it was a warmer day, but little did I know Butcher Box knows what they are doing when putting meat on dry ice. This box is called the MIXED BOX.
This box was full of the coldest meat ever. It was like ice bricks. I took everything out, disposed of my dry ice and took pictures. Then I immediately started planning on what I was going to make and when it was going to be used. Everything went into my freezer except one package of ground beef. I had taco salads on the menu and figured I would start with using the ground beef first. 

The MIXED BOX contains 8-10 lbs of 100% Grass Fed/Grass Finished Beef, Organic Chicken & Heritage Breed Pork plus when ordering any box using this link you get $10 OFF + Free Bacon. 

So far I have used my Butcher Box Bacon, one package of ground beef, two bone in pork chops and
all four top sirloin steaks. 

With two of the bone in pork chops that I was not to excited to cook (as you read in the beginning) I made Oven Baked Pork Chops and on the side I added some Honey BBQ sauce that I really didn't use much if. It wasn't needed.  To make these wonderful Oven Baked Pork Chops I added the following into a bowl, mixed and added my two pork chops for the day. 2 tbsp Ketchup 1 tsp Lemon Juice 1 tbsp Soy Sauce 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce 2 tbsp Brown Sugar 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil I let pork chops marinade all day.  While my oven heated to 425 I put the pork chops and half the sauce in a glass baking dish. Covered them up with foil & put them in the oven (once heated) I left them alone for 30 minutes. At that time I turned them over, added the rest of my sauce and covered them back up for another 30 min. They were perfectly cooked

I didn't realize there were 2 Sirloin Steaks per package, even though it was clearly marked on the bags. But my boyfriend was happy to see we cooked all 4 steaks in one night. He ate 3 of them. Yes they were that good. These are the moistest, juiciest Sirloin Steaks ever. I just added some salt & pepper and grilled on our outdoor grill. About 4 minutes on each side at the highest heat our grill would go.  Excellent. We are them with grilled asparagus and salad.

With my Smoked Uncured Bacon I made bun-less bacon cheeseburgers. I should of used some of my ground beef but I already had beef thawed out from the store.  The bacon was excellent.  I like my bacon extra crispy, as you can see in the pictures.  We only used 2 pieces per burger but of course ate the rest. After dinner. There was no way the smoked uncured bacon would of lasted a full day in our house.  No Nitrates Added

Butcher Box's Story

Our founder Mike Salguero was first introduced to 100% grass-fed beef through a local farmer who sold ¼ and ½ shares of cattle. After trying it, he was instantly hooked. He preferred the more natural taste and was thrilled to discover the many health advantages grass-fed beef has over ordinary grain-fed beef. So his question became, “why isn’t everyone eating this?”

After doing some research, he discovered that not everyone has access to grass-fed beef, and even if people have access, their selection is often limited to just ground beef. This helps explain why just 1% of the total beef consumed in the United States is 100% grass-fed. Our goal is to make grass-fed beef more accessible than ever before.

Please join us in spreading the Back to Nature Revolution all across the nation.

Qurb™ is not intended to be a meal replacement -- it is a dietary supplement designed to aid with appetite suppression and with a powerful fat burning effect. Qurb™ may help individuals avoid unhealthy snacking.

​I received 2 Qurb Pm's to review. I used them in two consecutive nights to see if I noticed results. 
First it's good, kinda cured my evening sweet tooth. They have a slight fruity taste with a thin texture... not bad as far as taste goes. 
I took it about an hour before I went to bed. 
I did have a craving before drinking and soon after 10-15 min that craving seemed to go away. I then showered and got myself ready for bed. I felt I slept better that night, woke up more rested and not at all hungry. In fact all I did was grab my hot green tea in the morning and left to work, no breakfast. I ended up not having lunch till I little after 1pm. That is rare for me. I am usually starving when I wake up and if I have time I made a small breakfast or make something once I get to work. Day two I had the same results. So in my opinion the Qurb PM shots work. 
I would like to give the day shots a try and see if I can help myself loose more weight.

ABOUT US John Beaver and Erica Perez co-own and operate Oaktown Spice Shop. When John was growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the best stop in his mother’s errand routine was a local shop dedicated to spices. The sacks of seeds, the wooden boxes of cloves and cinnamon sticks piqued his curiosity. The smells: intoxicating.
Later, when he was in high school, John got a job at the spice shop and began learning how to grind and blend spices. He worked at the shop for years on and off in between school and travel. Although he took other directions in his career, his love of spices and good cooking remained.
It was also in Milwaukee that John met Erica, a California native. When Erica got a job in the Bay Area, the couple moved west. When they arrived in Oakland a few years ago, they were surprised to discover that a city with such a vibrant food culture lacked a local spice shop. Two years after beginning work on a business plan, John and Erica opened Oaktown Spice Shop in the Grand Lake neighborhood of Oakland in December 2011.

In my opinion OakTown Spice Shop is by far the best spice shop I have ever seen. I love all the variety they have plus the fact that all the products come in glass jars makes me happy. I am not a fan of plastic jars for anything.  ​ Not everything online is also available in the store, so if you happen to live or be visiting Oakland, CA go check them out.  If not look  ONLINE NOW

Focus Nutrition Products ~ Xylitol Products Review & Giveaway

ALL Focus Nutrition Products are made from Xylitol.  
Before I talk about the products I received for review
I want to make sure all of you know what Xylitol is. 

Among diet conscious people, Xylitol is building up its reputation as one very beneficial and important source of maintaining the desired level of sugar in the body as one of the best sugar alternatives.

Some of the health benefits of xylitol include its ability to control glucose and insulin levels in the body, manage diabetes, reduce bacterial growth, improve the health of gums and teeth, prevent overeating, help in weight loss efforts, fight off dangerous viruses, eliminate ear infections, boost sinus health, build strong bones, strengthen the immune system, reduce ulcers, prevents bad breath, and even protects against stomach cancer.
 xylitol is a sugar substitute that is far better for your body than typical white refined sugar. It is often considered a “diabetic sweetener” and is basically as sweet as sucrose, but has 33% less calories. 

Xylitol is obtained from the fibrous material of a number of common fruits and vegetables, as well as mushroom, berries, oats, corn husks, sugar cane, and birch. Xylitol can be created or extracted in a number of ways, including tapping a birch tree for birch sap, as well as allowing the isolated chemical to ferment the xylose and extract a high yield of xylitol. The hydrogenation of xylose also results in the conversion of the sugar aldehyde into a primary alcohol. Xylitol was actually discovered back in the 19th century by chemists in Germany and France, but didn’t come in a pure form until the 1930s. It was actually used during WWII as a substitute for sugar for many troops. Nowadays, xylitol can be found as a replacement sweetener in chewing gum, toothpaste, mouthwash, and even some pharmaceutical medicines. The definition of xylitol as a “natural sweetener” comes under some debate, because while it is derived from natural pulp sources, it must still undergo considerable chemical processing before it can be used as a pure replacement for normal white sugar.

 Now for the actual products
that I was able to review.

XyloBurst is a small candies that is naturally sweetened with 100% Xylitol. They are sugar free and aspartame free.
They come in Mint type flavors/taste and Fruit Sours. My favorite is the Grape Fruit Sours. 
​
The flavors are:
Wintermint, Peppermint, Licorice Mint, Berry Mints, Ginger Mints, Lemon, Berry, Cinnamon
​Grape Sour, Cherry Sour, Orange Citrus Sour, Watermelon Sour

XyloBurst mints & XyloBurst sours are sugar-free and sweetened exclusively with 100% all-natural xylitol! Professional studies have shown that consuming products with high amounts of xylitol, along with daily brushing, may reduce the risk of dental caries. Just like XyloBurst gum, XyloBurst sours will leave your mouth feeling clean and refreshed. And remember 6 to 8 grams each day is recommended to help improve oral health.

You can buy these mints a few different ways but I received mine in the tins. They are perfect to take anywhere, purse, car or even in your pocket. 

The mints and fruit sours all have a great taste. The sours in my opinion aren't really sour, they just have a fruity taste with I guess a mint of sour. All are very good, but the Grape is my favorite.

XyloBurst blister packs of gum come in five different flavors:
Cinnamon, Spearmint, Fresh Fruit, Peppermint & Green Tea

Convenient, simple and fits in any pocket, XyloBurst Blister Cards are perfect for those on the go. Each blister card contains 12 pieces of breath-freshening XyloBurst gum. And each box contains 12 blister cards. It's just like you see at the checkout counter.

Sweet and refreshing yet sugar-free, XyloBurst xylitol chewing gum will leave your mouth feeling fresh and clean. Sweetened exclusively with 100% all-natural xylitol and recommended by dentists worldwide, XyloBurst xylitol chewing gum has positive oral health benefits. Each piece has over 1 gram of xylitol. So remember, 6 to 8 grams a day may help improve oral health.

Each piece of gum leaves your mouth feeling so clean. I love this gum. I am not  big gum chewer, but I do enjoy a piece once a day. When I am craving something sweet lately this is my go to treat.

I really enjoyed all the products I received from Focus Nutrition. I am usually not a fan of things with Xylitol in them. I had purchased some gum a while back containing Xylitol and it just had an odd taste and was very hard and an odd chewy like wax feeling in my mouth. This gum is not that way. It actually tastes like the flavor it is, the taste lasts for a while and it leaves a good feeling in your mouth, a very clean good feeling. As for the mints. EXCELLENT. I love them all. Like I said the mints and gum are both my go to items when I am craving sweets.
Excellent products from an excellent company.

I have been drinking bone broth for a few months. I used to make my own, it's very time consuming and I don't really like the smell it makes in my home. Then I found Kettle & Fire. It's a wonderful already made box of organic grass-fed bone broth that is ready to heat and serve. Just pour the amount you want into a mug, heat and sip. 
The taste is wonderful, very fresh. 
I have found that the benefits of drinking bone broth are amazing. 
Since bone broth contains high levels of collagen and glutamine I have noticed my skin, nails and hair all look great.
I always had dry, flaky skin, no matter how much water I drank or lotion I used. My nails were always breaking after growing out some and just looked gross. Since I started drinking just one cup of bone broth a day my skin has never looked better. No longer is it dry, itchy and flaky. My nails actually grow and don't just break off the minute they grow out. I have also experienced less pain and inflammation. 
I am a true believer that drinking bone broth or using it in your cooking is a huge health benefit. 

Kettle & Fire is:

• Loaded with amino acids, collagen, and proteins that heal leaky gut and improve joint and skin health
• Made with bones from 100% grass-fed and grass-finished cattle
• Made with organic vegetables and herbs
• Slow simmered for 20+ hours
• Free of all hormones, antibiotics and artificial ingredients
• Gluten-free, Non-GMO, Organic, Dairy-free and Soy-free

​THE MANY BENEFITS OF BONE BROTH
For many of you, bone broth may be a bit of a mystery. Why should you use it? What can it do for you? Should you join the bone broth fan club? Here are some of the many benefits of bone broth.

BASIC NUTRIENTS
We’ll start off easy and look at some basic familiar nutrients that can be derived from bone broth.

Did you know that bones are basically 50 percent protein? Cooking them in a broth extracts the protein and amino acids - like collagen, glycine and glucosamine - that are then converted by your body into energy, stronger muscles, and a more effective immune system.

During the cooking process, many naturally-occurring vitamins and minerals seep into the broth from the bones. You may have heard of some of these guys - calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. Pretty heavy hitters that all contribute to overall health.

WHAT SETS BONE BROTH APART
Sounds good so far, you may be thinking. But, what makes this stuff so special? The short answer is collagen. Bone broth is unique in that it utilizes ingredients that are rarely used but that produce a great deal of collagen. Namely the knuckle, patella, femur, and foot bones.
Collagen does a whole host of amazing things for the human body:
SKIN
It promotes healthy skin and improves the skin’s elasticity, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, helps wounds heal faster, and protects against the signs of aging due to sun damage.
JOINTS
Increasing the amount of collagen in your body can also improve your joint health. Collagen can help rebuild tendons and ligaments which can lead to less inflammation and a decrease in joint pain.
DIGESTION
​One of the highly touted benefits of bone broth is its positive effect on digestive problems – particularly leaky gut. Collagen can help to improve the structure of the gut by restoring the stomach lining. This is an issue faced regularly by people suffering from IBS, inflammation, and celiac disease.

Innocent Chocolate I am not a chocolate fan, never have been. So to be honest I did not taste the Innocent Chocolate bar. But I did have my boyfriend taste test it for me, he follows keto, sort of, he isn't a strict keto eater like I am but he does eat what I cook.  He liked this bar, said it was a very rich deep chocolate and a little goes a long way.  77% DARK CHOCOLATE MADE FROM ORGANIC CACAO BEANS EACH BAR 2.65 OZ ~ 75 GRAMS Innocent Chocolate™ is the first chocolate bar that’s actually good for you. Scoring 9 out of 10 in an independent taste test, it’s a bold dark chocolate with a distinct smooth bitterness and long finish.

I saved the BEST for last and that is odd coming from a non chocolate lover. 
These wonderful fluffy KETO and CO Brownies were so good. 
I only ate one, but loved it. My boyfriend decided to eat them all for me, to spare me from my chocolate-dislike. 

KETO and CO Delicious indulgence with only 1.3 grams net carbs per 100 calories (yes, really).  These brownies have a milk-chocolatey flavor and a light texture.  It might be more accurate to call them high-fiber milk-protein-almond-coconut-heavy-cream brownies given the ingredients, but that's a bit of a mouth full (like these brownies) and we think milk-chocolate is an acceptable shorthand. One bag of mix makes 9 brownies (210 calories each).   Stevia-Sweetened and Dark Chocolate versions coming soon. BUY HERE
