Mamma Chia Vitality Granola Clusters: The Perfect Summer Snack! + Giveaway

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

Mamma Chia, the leader of the chia revolution, has introduced a delicious new way to embrace your crunchy side with the introduction of their soul-satisfying, organic Chia Vitality Granola Clusters.

Made with gluten-free whole grains, each serving provides 1500 mg of Omega-3s, 10 grams of protein (soy-free and dairy-free) and 5 grams of fiber (20% of the recommended daily value!), making it a healthful snack, yogurt topping or breakfast cereal for busy summer mornings and road trips! 

We loved the Mamma Chia products we reviewed!  The Chia Vitality Granola Clusters are like comfort food:)  They are wholesome, satisfying, sweet and crunchy...I could go on and on!  We loved all three flavors, especially the Wild Blueberry.  The Cinnamon Pecan and Vanilla Almond were great too.  We used ours in breakfast and dessert parfaits with a little Greek yogurt and fresh berries and also used them in our homemade trail mix.  Of course, our favorite way to eat them was straight from the bag:)

I love that these are very allergy-friendly and are a perfect protein snack that actually tastes good and is good for you.

Spice Up Summer with Sabra Hummus, Dips and Salsas!

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

Get ready to spice things up this summer with Sabra!

Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue or just chilling by the pool, Sabra offers a large selection of tasty hummus, creamy Greek yogurt dips and fresh salsas for every occasion.  Pair these with a bag of pretzels or tortilla chips or a tray of fresh veggies and you're sure to please any crowd:)

Sabra is best known around here for it's delicious hummus that comes in 13 flavors:
Basil Pesto
Tuscan Garden
Roasted Red Pepper
Classic
Olive Tapenade
Roasted Pine Nut
Lemon Twist
Chipotle
Spinach and Artichoke
Sun Dried Tomato
Jalapeño
Roasted Garlic
Supremely Spicy

We eat a lot of hummus around here.  Typically, we make our own,, but Sabra is great when we are pressed for time or want a larger variety without the cost of extra ingredients.  Sabra hummus is so versatile!  It's great as a spread on sandwiches, a coating on grilled chicken or as a dip.  We especially liked the spicier versions like Chipolte and Jalapeno.

Sabra has 6 Greeek Yogurt dips to choose from:

Crisp Bell Pepper

Cucumber Dill

Diced Onion

Mediterranean Herb

Tzatziki

Farmer's Ranch

These dips are made with all natural ingredients and protein packed Greek yogurt.  They were super satisfying.  They were yummy with fresh veggies and can also be used to up the flavor of any recipe that uses sour cream or Greek yogurt.

Sabra has 8 fresh tasting salsas:
Restaurant Style Salsa
Roasted Garlic Salsa
Mango Peach Salsa
Homestyle Salsa - Mild
Homestyle Salsa - Medium
Chunky Pico De Gallo Salsa
Southwestern Style Salsa
Garden Style Salsa

The salsas we tried were very fresh tasting, like restaurant salsa.  They were a bit sweet for our tastes, but we had some out-of-town guests try them and they loved them!

Sabra even offers convenient snack packs and single sized serving containers which makes snacking on the go a breeze!

Add Flavor To Dinner With Benissimo Mediterranean Garlic Oil + Giveaway

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

The roots of Hongar Farms date back 450 years ago to a farm nestled in the Austrian Alps, just east of Salzburg. Only the highest quality herbs, spices, oils, vinegars, produce and meats were used in the kitchens of Hongar Farms, and they were carefully sourced to please regional royalty, wealthy traders, and landowners. While their roots date back many centuries, their current flavor-infused oils developed into today's flavors between the 19th and 20th centuries. These beloved, time-tested recipes are available in the Benissimo product line.

These products are 100% natural and contain up to 800 milligrams of omega-3 per serving. Producing a great tasting, healthy product is the company's highest priority, and their products contain no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives or cholesterol.

.Here are just a few of the ways we used the versatile Mediterranean Garlic Oil in the kitchen:

The oil was wonderful for pan searing chicken breasts.  We also used it to saute fresh onion and garlic for our red sauce:

The flavors of this oil really popped in our roasted tomato/onion/mushroom side dish:

We used it to saute baby bellas and were very pleased with the results:

It was also great straight from the bottle as a bread dip, plain or mixed with a little basil pesto.  

 If you are looking for a little inspiration, Hongar Farms provide natural, easy, and delicious recipe suggestions and seasonal cooking inspiration daily on their Facebook and Instagram pages.  They also suggest recipes and announce giveaways on Twitter, and provide a recipe collection available on their Pinterest page. Their flavor-infused oils can generally be substituted for traditional oil in recipes containing similar flavors. Some great ideas are to drizzle the flavored oils on pastas and soups, brush them on garlic toast, blend them into salad dressings and sauces, and use them to marinate and season roasted meats and vegetables. 

Hongar Farms products make great gifts for foodie friends, home cooks, and even aspiring cooks who might enjoy a beautiful bottle of oil for a little inspiration. The price at the online store is discounted ($4.99 per bottle, discounted from up to $8.99 retail), so this is the perfect place to buy a sampling of different flavors for home cooking enthusiasts or a variety of bottles to give individually as hostess gifts, teacher gifts, housewarming gifts or extra items to have on hand for last minute gifts. For those who prefer to shop locally, there is a list of stores that carry Benissimo products on their website under the "Shop Now" link.

Up the flavor ante in your kitchen this summer with Benissimo Oils!

I admit it.  I am a pen hoarder.  I LOVE getting new pens and it's even better when my new pens perform exceptionally well, which is definitely the case with the assortment of Schneider pens I recently got to review from Shoplet.com! 

Schneider pens are produced almost exclusively in Germany and this company really cares about making the best pen with the smoothest ink in a variety of styles to fit every customer's need.  Many of these ballpoint pens feature Viscoglide ink technology that is smoother than gel ink and dries quickly without smearing. 

The pens we reviewed:

Schneider Xpress Porous Point Pen - 

Slider Edge 1.0mm Ballpoint Pen -

Slider XB ViscoGlide Ballpoint Pen - 

Slider Memo XB ViscoGlide Ballpoint Pen - 

Slider Memo XB - 

Slider Ballpoint Pen - 

These pens are AH-MAZING!  Seriously, some of my favorites EVER!!  I use them every. single. day.  I'm not exaggerating!  They are so smooth and the grips are so comfortable...even the kiddos love them!

 I cannot say enough good stuff about these awesome pens:)  They have really made writing more fun!
