Children of Lir. This one comes in a delightful little tin illustrating the cursing of Lir’s children to be turned into swans. I found it really hard to get the tea OUT of the tin without making a mess (it is packed full to the brim). I love the smell of this tea. The hazelnut […]
I am a lucky duck! Being that I’m a big fan of tea, the fabulous folks at Adagio gave me a chance to review some of their teas. Of course I said HELL YES! Teenager and I pored over their catalog and picked out samples of about ten different teas and have been slowly working […]
I recently received a box of Go Veggie!’s entire vegan line of alterna-cheese products to test out (thank you Go Veggie!). This is a brand my local grocery carries, but they only have the Lactose free line (it has been my experience that unlike gluten intolerance, the average person has never heard of casein intolerance […]
So in the whole wake of the no cheese drama, there was much flailing and wailing and gnashing of teeth. I grabbed The Uncheese Cookbook and kept trying stuff. There was a recipe in there for a faux buffalo mozzarella that the author swore would melt. It totally didn’t and the pizza I tried to make […]
One of my great pleasures as a food blogger is the opportunity to try products that I otherwise would never have access to. A while back I was offered the chance to try out some of Pastamore’s gourmet gluten free pasta line from J.D. Gourmet. I got three (so there will be more recipes to […]
I make no secret of the fact that I am a food snob. Or the fact that I really like to eat. So when I think of Lean Cuisine, the first word that comes to mind historically is DISAPPOINTED. They never ever look as good as the picture on the box. The portion sizes are […]
So it’s National Pasta Day! How cool is it that we have a day for that? So of course I had to feature, you know, pasta. I got invited by Classico to try out their new Creamy Spinach and Parmesan Pasta Sauce, along with a fabulous pasta pot, a swanky new Oxo grater, and some […]
Light alfredo sauce sounds like an oxymoron, doesn’t it? I mean, everything about alfredo sauce is rich and delicious. My prior attempts to make it lighter just didn’t have the right texture or taste, so I admit my skepticism when Classico Light Alfredo sauce came up as an option for the Foodbuzz Tastemakers Program. I […]
Foodbuzz is going to think I’m a bad food blogger. I was supposed to post this by the 20th. But, well, I live in a small town and despite the generous coupon for a free bottle of Marzetti Simply Dressed salad dressing as part of the Tastemaker’s program , I had a devil of a time […]
Boy do I have egg on my face. This was supposed to go up by the 15th and I totally mis-scheduled it. Oops. Sorry Foodbuzz! In any event, via the Foodbuzz Tastemakers program, I got chosen to receive a $25 gift card to put on a cheese tasting with Sargento cheese. How awesome is that? […]
