I love a good sauce, particularly a good barbecue or steak sauce. So when Country Bob’s contacted me about checking out Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce, I was game. The sauce bottle proclaims that it is for steak, hamburgers, chicken, fries and barbecue.
The GOOD: This sauce is like KC Masterpiece barbecue meets A-1 steak sauce, [...]
When Cate asked me if I wanted a go at reviewing Vosges chocolate, I couldn’t respond fast enough. I have been drooling over Vosges for what feels like eons. Ever since I learned about their bacon bar … sigh. Vosges Haut-Chocolat’s organic line is gluten-free and vegan-friendly. It’s also certified organic by the Oregon tilth. [...]
Oh, coffee. My devoted friend. It’s what wakes me up in the morning and keeps me going through late nights. It’s my comfort when I am tired and my savior when I am exhausted. That said, I like good, rich coffee that’s been brewed well. That means coffee makers need to be cleaned, descaled and [...]
When we were in high school and college (heck! all the way into adulthood), my friend sw0re by Little Debbie brownies. The fudge-y, chocolatey little brownies even accompanied her to the hospital when she had her first baby. But they aren’t exactly the most healthy things out there. So when I saw that Little Debbie [...]
I am somewhat of a purist when it comes to crushing spices. Sure, I could use my ultra-awesome coffee grinder, but do I really want to run the risk of getting coffee ground mixed with my cloves? Ah, no. That’s why I am a big fan of mortar and pestles. Sure, it’s totally old school, [...]
It’s no secret that my day starts with a cup of coffee … followed quickly by another cup of coffee. I love the stuff, particularly when it’s swirled with caramel and topped with whip. But it can be expensive to maintain a habit like that. And in this fragile economy, people are doing everything they [...]
My husband and I drink a lot of tea. From green tea to peppermint, and a variety of herbals, our tea cupboard is stocked. So whenever the opportunity to review tea presents itself, we are game.
Recently, Ito En gave me the chance to review Ito En Holiday Mini Chabako, which is filled with sencha with [...]

Always open to a new, healthier alternative to my son’s beloved chicken nuggets, I was happy to find Ian’s Chicken Nuggets during my last trip to Whole Foods. But were they enough to rival or even topple McDonald’s?
The GOOD: Using organic white meat chicken and organic Panko bread crumbs, these nuggets are also free [...]
There are a lot of things to make you feel good about giving your kids EnviroKidz Organic Crispy Rice Bars. The gluten-free, low-sodium rise, USDA Organic bars have ingredients lists filled with familiar things and are trans-fat free.
Nature’s Path was kind enough to let me try two of their new flavors -Fruity Burst and Peanut [...]
