Nantucket Off-Shore® Nantucket Rub

Now that it's the colder holiday season I cook most of my fish in a steamer in my kitchen, and still use this rub on a regular basis. I tend to drizzle a little olive oil pressed with citrus peels over the fish and then sprinkle the rub on top of the catch of the day. Preparing meals with thought brings a level of gourmet flavoring to my meals and provides a cheaper, better tasting, and often healthier option than most restaurants in the area.

Hickory Farms® Party Planner Gift Box

My house is filled with cookies, everywhere! Every weekend before Thanksgiving my friends and I all get together at my house to do a massive cookie swap. A time of laughter and story telling, it's always a benefit to have quality snacks to munch on to make the night extra special. After receiving a "Hickory Farms® Party Planner Gift Box in the mail my guests had the pleasure of snacking on a combination of summer sausages along with a wide assortment of high-end cheese selections. Safe to say Hickory Farms® will continue to be a permanent fixture in our future cookie swaps and holiday events.

Nantucket Off-Shore® Holiday Turkey Rub

Containing zero salt and sugar, making turkey delectable has never been so easy. I simply poured a little olive oil over my turkey and then dropped a couple tablespoons of the rub. Helpful instructions are listed on the back of the tin including suggested cooking temperatures. It's always appreciated when I read the ingredients on products I plan to consume and recognize each one. For instance, the rub contains: rosemary, sage, oregano, thyme, black pepper, onion, dried cranberry, ginger, and lemon peel. With these components, opening the tin makes for a truly epic smelling experience!

RYVITA® Fruit & Seed Crunch with Honey

Eating a healthy diet, working out on a regular basis, and incorporating all natural foods into your diet will likely make getting dressed in the morning a joyous occasion. Containing pumpkin, RYVITA®'s new Crispbread flavor is a nice sweet-tasting alternative to eating a batch of brownies. Biting into the bread and tasting currants, sunflower seeds, and honey makes this fiber-filled snack something I now crave on a regular basis.

Candy Coated Panda® Licorice

When it comes to food, authenticity is something one often assumes without much thought. You shouldn't have to wonder what you put into your own body. Containing real licorice root extract, I have always relied on Panda® Licorice products for all of my licorice needs. Made in Finland, today's review features the brand's new delicious candy coated snack pack style licorice. After Halloween party guests consumed all of my samples I was ecstatic to see that I could purchase more locally from my natural food store.

Mount Hagen® Organic Instant Coffee & Erba Dolce® Stevia Natural Sweetener

I'm awake. Even though I've been up for 18 hours, I'm still up and working hard. You might ask, how am I able to do it? Thanks to the Mount Hagen® Organic Instant Coffee Single Serve packets I'm not doing too bad getting so much work done. Encompassing a blend of 100 percent arabica coffee beans, I appreciate the rich natural flavor. Adding in a packet of Erba Dolce® Stevia sweetener makes my taste buds satisfied beyond measure.

Le Saunier De Camargue Sea Salt

I may not have the chef hat to prove my appreciation for cooking gourmet food, but I do however have the ingredients. A product of France, I recently received some Le Saunier De Camargue Sea Salt to review. The packaging alone on this item is stunning, from it's cork top to it's illustrated label. The top of the cylindrical container lists the actual name of the Master Salt Maker that gathered the salt. For instance, one 4.4 ounce canister of Fleur de Sel was gathered by Patrick Ferdier while another was collected by Alban Mouret. This touch of disclosure adds a level of communication that makes this product a truly special gift for any food aficionado in your life.
