Ozeri

Artesio Soft Touch Electric Pepper Mill and Grinder

As you all know I have been a fan of Ozeri products for a long time.  They not only make great quality products but they are perfect for your everyday life.  They look great in your home and are easy to use.   They can withstand a crazy 3 year old and they last.  Not one product that I have gotten has been broken even when little guy gets a hold of it.

The Pepper grinder was perfect for our house.  We love to have fresh ground pepper in our house.  I use it on salads and in so many recipes.  I always got one of those little hand held ones and let’s be honest you are turning that thing back and forth for a very long time just to get a little.  This was very easy to use and saves us so much more money.  It is reusable so I am not throwing away that little container every time and I can buy my pepper in bulk and just refill as needed.  Just add 4 batteries and pepper and you are ready to go.  Just push the button and you have fresh ground pepper whenever you need it.  I loved this pepper grinder and would recommend it to everyone.

Mighty Leaf Tea

tabbyspantry

Yaaaaa I love tea and mighty leaf is one of the best I have had the pleasure of trying.  When I got the chance to try these out I got the choice of Tropical or World Teas.  As you all know I of course picked tropical and I am so happy I did.  These teas not only had a fantastic flavor but also brewed up perfectly and were fantastic hot and cold.  The three flavors I got were African Nectar, Vanilla bean and Green Tea Tropical.  All of them were fantastic.  I loved that on the side of each box they had whether there was caffeine or not, so I knew not to drink the caffeine ones at night.   I also got a fantastic commuter mug designed for my tea bags, so I could pull the tab threw and I was on my way for the day.

Mighty Leaf is a family owned company who use all natural ingredients.  They even designed they own silken tea bags to hold all the wonderful tea leaves, blossoms, herbs and fruit.  They are hand stitched with unbleached cotton. So no glue or staples in your tea.  I love that these teas are organic and they are a good fit for my new diet.  I get a great tasting beverage that helps me relax and I am not consuming tons of calories.  I love this tea company and would recommend them to everyone.

They have a fantastic contest going right now.  That you can enter here for a chance at a spa week or $100.00 gift certificate from mighty leaf click here or enter below on the raffle copter

Silicone Bakeware

tabbyspantry

I got this to use and I was excited to try it.  It is hard enough cooking in high altitude but if you dont have the right pans there is no way your muffins will come out right.  With my normal pans the tops of the muffins would be just done and the bottoms would be burnt.  My family loves strawberry muffins so I tried it out.  They turned out perfect.  Cooked perfect on the tops and the bottoms.  They were also very easy to get out of the pan.  I did not lose one.  When you have a hungry 3 year old and hubby losing even one can mean you have to cook a whole new batch.

When you first get this pan make sure to clean it well with soap and water do not use an abrasive brush.  Then you just dry and cook.  I did use cooking spray and they slide right out of the pan.  To clean just clean with soap and water again and you are ready to go again.  This took no time at all to clean because nothing stuck to it.   This was a fantastic muffin pan to use.  I will be using this one every morning.

BC Chicken

tabbyspantry

I was looking up recipes for bacon wrapped chicken breast and I found a lot that added sweat ingredients and it popped in my head.  Woo Hooo Dimples rub is sweat and so off to cook I went.  This turned out so good I am now out of my dimples rub because we made this over and over again. Lol

What you need

Chicken breast

Dimples rub

Bacon

After the chicken is defrosted cover both sides with the dimples rub (I used boneless skinless tenders)

Take your bacon and wrap up your breast.  I accidently bought thin cut so I used double pieces to wrap them up

Sprinkle the bacon wrapped breast with more rub.

Cook at 450 for about 20 – 25 minutes until bacon is cooked

You are done yummy yummy

This is so quick and easy and hubby went nuts for it.

Ozeri Pan

tabbyspantry

Ozeri Green Earth 10” Pan Review

When I first got this pan in the mail the first thing I told hubby was wow look how awesome this pan is.  I knew from the moment I opened it that I was going to be in love.  Not only does it have my non stick coating that I love but it was so deep I could make anything in this and not have to worry about it spilling.    As you can see from the picture the tortilla I made for baby boy just slipped right out no sticking at all.

Next we made a grilled cheese sandwich.  In our house this is the biggest test for a pan.  They really do have to cook even and not stick to be a good sandwich and as you can see it came out perfect and slipped right out of the pan.  This pan is 100% PTFE and PFOA free.  It is ceramic with a non stick coating.  I love Ozeri products they make a very wide range of product for all your household needs. I would recommend them to everyone.

Jiva seasoning

tabbyspantry

Jiva Organics Turmeric Ground seasoning

I have to be honest here when I first got the opportunity to try this one I had no idea what it was or how to use it.  After a little research I found that it is used on everything from eggs to meat to veggies.  So I decided to make a chicken/port veggie mix in the oven and it turned out fantastic.  I used yellow peppers, orange peppers, onion, chicken breast and a pork chop.  Put it all in tinfoil and added Turmeric, soy sauce and a little bar-b-q sauce.  I wrapped it up and cooked at 350 for about 45 minutes and it was fantastic.

Jiva Organics is a small family business that brings you only completely natural and certified organic products.   They do not use any artificial flavors or preservatives.    They have a ton of different spices so if you are looking for something you use every day or to try something new make sure to check them out.   You will get a lot for your money and they are organic you cannot beat that.  I would recommend them to everyone.  Bring out your inner cook and try something new.  You never know what you will discover.

Cakes under the influence

          Cakes under the influence review

  When I got then chance to try these out I was so excited you know I cannot resist chocolate.  I had never heard of these and it was such a fantastic idea cakes with alcohol yummy yummy.  Now you know me with a 3 year old in the house there is no way I can make cake and not make some for him so we used the cake mix they sent us and cut it in half.  I did half with alcohol and the other half with whipping cream for little guy.

       For the adult I used

 1 oz Carmel vodka

 1 oz kahlua

 2 oz Irish cream

 Mix in the coca mix and yummy umm it was fantastic

  For baby boys I used

 3 oz whipping cream

 1oz milk

 Mixed in the rest of the coco mix.

     This was so easy to make.  After you mix your batter put the blue rubber things into a muffin

pan.  Then put the metal cake shapers into them add your paper’s into the cups (this makes it a no clean up and makes your cakes look very fancy when in the serving cups).  When they are done cooking wait till they cool and put into cups.  I added a little powder sugar on top and they were all fantastic.  They have a ton of different recopies for you to check out on their page.   I really do recommend you use their cake mix the coca one was just fantastic and I could not get enough. These were so easy to make and everyone not only loved them, but thought they way they were set out was very fancy.  I love to have a great item when we have people over that will really wow them.  This definitely did that they thought I spent hours making this.   If you are having an all adult party or one for everyone this is the way to go.  The mix and presentation is wonderful.  Baby boy loved having his own cup cake cups and we loved ours.  To keep them separated I used a Permanente marker and made a black line on the paper for the ones that were baby boys. (Better to be safe then to have a drunk baby lol).  I loved their products and I will defiantly be using this for many years.  In case I have not said it yet make sure to get the coca mix when you order I could have just ate the mix by its self and been a very happy camper.lol

6 Piece Bamboo Kitchen Utensils Set Review

As you all know I love to cook. But to cook right you need the right equipment. One thing that always just erks me is when my pans get scratched. Nothing ever cooks right in it anymore. So when I got the chance to try out the Bamboo Kitchen Utensils I was so excited. This 6 piece set came with all the different pieces you need to cook just about anything. When I first opened them I was excited to see they were very thick and great quality. They did not have any splinters which we all know our old wooden spoons get very easily.

They were very light weight and they do not take up much room in my drawer at all. When it came to cleaning them it was very easy just a little warm water and soap and they cleaned right up. They did not heat up at all when I was cooking with them so I did not have to worry about grabbing a hold of them if I left them in the pot. (Yes I know you are not meant to leave them in the pot but sometimes a little ones cries and you just run off to see if everything is ok). They have anti-bacterial properties and they are harder then maple. They were made of 100% bamboo. This was my first time using bamboo utensils and I am in love. They did not scratch my pans at all and very easy to clean up. Every cooks dream. I would totally recommend these to everyone. This awesome set is on sale for $9.49 right now don’t miss out.

Look how little room they take up.

Batter babies

tabbyspantry

I got the chance to try out the batter babies and we loved it.

This was so much fun to try out.  If you have not heard of them yet or tried them this is a must for any baker.  They are great cup dividers for your cup cakes or in my case muffins so you make 2 different types in one.  As you all know I am trying not to make cup cakes right now do to the fact that I eat them all. Lol so I decided to give 2 different muffin mixes a try and I loved it.  You all know me I still have to go with some kind of sweets so I went with Chocolate chip muffin mix and strawberry muffin mix.  These turned out so good.

These are very easy to use just place in the pan and pour one side of one kind then the other side of your second kind.  Then here is the biggest thing you have to remember Take Out The Divider or you will get melted plastic cup cakes.   That is all I had to do then we just put in oven and baked.  Mine not only turned out delicious who does not like strawberry and chocolate but they looked cute too.   The one thing to remember when buying these is to buy 2 sets so you have enough to fill a whole cup cake pan.   The only thing I would change about this product is to make them in mini pan size too so I could make bite size strawberry chocolate muffins yummy umm.  If you are making cupcakes for a party this is also great you can make two different kinds in one and use 2 different frostings and make a truly unique cup cake for your party.  Also great for sports fans.  Have a party for your team you can pick the two team colors and make team cup cakes I will be doing this for super bowl.

I would recommend this product to everyone
