 Camano Island Coffee Roasters

                             Winter Drinks Holiday Gift Box

        

Coffee lovers, Tea lovers, and Hot Chocolate lovers this is the holiday gift for you.  Whether you are buying it for your own family or giving it this holiday season there is something in this box for everyone in the family.  For just $39.99 you can get this fantastic gift for the special family this holiday season.  I personally would get two.  One for me and one for a friend. 

   This is such a great deal with a pound of whole bean Holiday roast, 12 oz of Island Select Cocoas Dark chocolate, and A tin that will brew 50 cups of Earl Great loose leaf tea, and of course some fantastic peppermint candies.

 

The coffee was a wonderful dark roast coffee.  A nice clean taste, which will wake you right up in the morning.

 

I loved the Cocoa I mixed with milk to make it creamier.  A nice rich taste that was so relaxing.

 

The Earl Grey tea is a black tea.  It’s a little stronger but taste ohhh soo good.  I drank it alone and with milk and sugar.  It was fantastic both ways.  Each serving you can infuse up to three times.  The leaves also really expand so you do not need a lot of this loose leaf tea.

 

Camano Island Coffee Roasters has a few different holiday boxes you can choose from.  Any of them would be a perfect present.  I am thinking for the Hostess this holiday season.  If you are buying a present for your household you should really consider joining their Coffee Lovers Club you can choose when you want it delivered.  Never run out again.

Olive Leaf Tea

tabbyspantry

   Mirabilia Organic Olive Leaf Tea

  You all know I am a tea lover.  I have never tried an olive leaf tea so I was excited to give this one a try.  This is an organic tea handpicked in Abruzzo, Italy.   It is free of caffeine and tannin so no worries about drinking this at night time.  This came in a 30g package which will last you quite awhile.  Just a pinch in an infuser will make you two cups.  Let this one seep a little longer then you normally would to get the full flavor.

  The tea itself was a very light tea so if you are not a fan of black teas don’t worry this one will not over power you.  It had a very fresh and clean taste I did not even add any sugar or milk to it.  It was great on its own.    This one will not leave any stains on your cup or on your teeth.  This was a fantastic tea I could drink every day.

  I would completely recommend this tea to everyone it was fantastic light refreshing and tasted so good it did not need anything else.

Honest Tea

       Honest Tea


  As you all know I love my Ice Tea.  I can drink it all day long.  So far I have really only drank the sweater teas.  I love Honest Tea Green tea with honey.  Until I had the chance to try out their new teas I never thought of a spicy tea. I was pleasantly surprised on how much I loved these two.  Also they are both 0 calories a bottle.  You heard that right all 0 calories.

 


The Ginger Oasis Herbal tea had a nice flavor.  I could really taste the ginger in it but it did not over power the drink or burn my mouth.  It is brewed with real ginger and will warm you up from the inside out.

 


The Cinnamon Sunrise Herbal tea has an awesome fall flavor.  I have a lot of people saying they can’t wait for the awesome fall foods and flavors.  Well guys you don’t have to wait this one is fantastic.  The taste of tea and cinnamon mixed together is a perfect combination.


  These two are some perfect fall flavors you will not want to miss out on.  They are both USDA organic, Caffeine free and non GMO.  You cannot go wrong with these two awesome teas.  Stock up today and get warmed up from the inside out this fall.

Knives Ship Free

             Knives Ship Free

                                       

   When I got the chance to work with them I was so excited.  I could not wait to see which knife they would have me write about.  I was so excited when I got the message about Shun Knifes I actually know these pretty well.  I have had the chance to use them in the past and they are a perfect gift for the hard to shop for guy.  These kitchen knives will make all the difference in the kitchen.  A good knife is something every kitchen needs.  I can also say from experience they do not lose their sharpness easily, but if they do no worries you can ship them back and for just the price of shipping they will sharpen them for you.

  I was first introduced to these knifes when I was working in a golf course kitchen.  Our chef walked in and first thing he told us what these were his knifes.  He brings them everywhere with him.  Also to not touch till you had earned the right to do so.lol As you can tell he was very proud of his knifes.  I had finally earned the right and I could see why.  They cut threw everything like butter.  They were very well weighted you did not have a heavy handle and a light blade.  It was the perfect knife. 

  I truly think these knifes weather you get one or the whole set will be the perfect present under the tree for him or even make them for the household.  I do have one favor to ask though please hand wash these beauties.  I cannot tell you how many times I see people buy a fantastic knife set and throw them in the dishwasher.  It’s like stabbing me right in the heart.  Take the extra minute to clean and dry them you will be happy when they last you forever.

Bean Stalks

       Bean Stalks


I was very interested when I got the chance to check out bean stalks.  These are snacks make from beans.  Pinto beans, Green beans, and Cannellini beans they also come in three different flavors.  They have Cheddar, Sea salt, and BBQ they are Gluten free and non gmo.

 

 

  We all know how I am when it comes to healthy eating it’s not really up my alley I need something that taste good. There is No point in eating if it does not taste good.  So of course I went straight for the sea salt, I would lick a salt lick if hubby would let me.  To my surprise I loved them.  They really were not over salted and they did not taste like a healthy snack.  They were delicious.  So of course little guy wanted to check them out and he stole the entire bag. 

This time of year it’s hard to find a good snack for after school and for sports events. This is a perfect one to add to your shopping list. Your kids will love them and you will not have to feel guilty about giving them these.

 

  Hubby and little guy fell in love with the Cheddar and the BBQ they each claimed their bag and hide them from the rest of us.  I am so glad this is a healthier snack I can give my family and it taste great.  So many companies go healthier and forget about the taste not Mediterranean snacks they decided to master both.

 

  Head out to your local store and stock up.  These are a great snack for lunches and after school that you will not feel bad about.

Chomps Sticks

          Chomps Snack Sticks

                              

  Finding the right snacks to send with hubby in his lunch can be challenging.  When he is at work he rarely has time to eat lunch let alone have a snack.  He works a ten hour day so I need something that will keep his energy up, tastes good and if he puts it down won’t go bad in just a few minutes.   If he gets distracted he might not be able to get back to his food for quite awhile.

                                         

  I love that these are a great source of protein to help keep his energy up all day.  They are gluten free, 100% Non-GMO Grass-Fed Angus Beef which is sourced from New Zealand.  They also come in fantastic flavors so hubby is excited to eat them during the day.  They have Hoppin Jalapeno, Original flavor, and Crankin Cran.  Hubbys favorite was the Jalapeno it had great flavor that did not overwhelm them beef flavor.  They are great to throw in your lunch box; they are ready to go when you are. 

                                      

  If you are looking for a better for you snack that actually tastes good make sure to get a few of these.  They will make snack time good again.

Java me up

                                        Shoplet Java me up


 Shoplet has more than just office supplies and promotional products they also have some great snacks to keep you going for the day.  Before I got the chance to try out the Java Me Up bars I had not heard of them.  These fantastic bars are a chocolate dipped Coffee energy bar with the caffeine of ½ cup of coffee.  The mocha almond flavor bars had a very coffee taste.  If you are a coffee lover these are a fantastic breakfast bar or afternoon pick me up snack for you.  The mix of coffee, almond, oat, and chocolate taste was fantastic.  My husband immediately took the rest of the bars and stuck them in his lunch bag.  This bar only has 160 calories but has 6g of protein and 5 grams of fiber.  If you are on a low sodium diet these are a great way to go.

 

  When you are thinking of buying your next office stationary or supplies don’t forget to also add your snack need either for yourself or the whole office.  These coffee bars are the perfect pick me up to keep your staff going in the afternoon.  You can buy then buy the 2 pack case, 4 pack cases or 8 pack cases.  Also on a side note one thing I love all orders over $25.00 ships free.  I love free shipping don’t forget to take advantage of this before it’s too late

Mommy’s Time Out

tabbyspantry

    Its time for  Mommy’s Time Out


  Sometimes as a mom you need to give yourself a time out.  There is no reason to feel bad about needing some time.  It’s how we moms stay sane.  After 12 hours straight of mommy, mommy, mommy, cleaning, cooking and more it’s ok to give yourself a time out.  If you love wine then mommy’s time out wine is perfect a little treat. Why shouldn’t you have a nice treat you have a somewhat clean house everyone is alive and you have clean underwear.  Job well done for the day.

 

  I have read before that a glass of wine can not only help your mood but can help you lose weight. Making sure you have a little time to yourself and relaxing even if it’s only once and awhile can lower your stress levels and aid in weight loss.  I read it so it must be true and I like to believe that it is.  “Sorry honey I need a glass of wine and a few minutes to myself I am trying to lose weight” ( lol sounds good to me). 

I loved my mommy’s time out wine I picked the Delicious pink.  It had a nice fruity flavor and the alcohol in it was not over powering.  I enjoyed this with a few good friends and they all loved it.  If you like a wine with subtle fruit flavors and a crisp clean taste this is the way to go.  They have a few others you can choose from so if you like a little stronger red wine I would suggest the Delicious red. They also have a Garganega Pinot Grigio that I would love to try. Don’t worry dads they did not forget about you they even have a daddy’s day off wine.  No matter is you are a stay at home mom a working mom or a single mom make sure you get a little time out for yourself and enjoy this delicious wine.

Funny Wine Glass

“What Night?” Funny Wine Glass Review

Besides the stem less wine glasses I have this is the first wine glass I have every owned.  I am very particular about my stem wear in my house.  I don’t want to have just the old boring glasses.  Anyone can have those.  I have always loved the hand painted glasses but let’s be honest most of those run about $50.00 a piece and I am not about to spend that on a wine glass at this point in my life.

When I got the chance to review this glass I was excited.  It is cute I would buy this one to start my collection and the price at $17.95 right now is perfect.  It is cute, funny and reasonable priced.  I like that it is not just the ordinary glass with nothing special about it.    I love that it is unique not something you can just buy at the local liquor store.  This glass worked perfect and I love the lines it really does give me an idea of what to pour for the day.  I can see threw it still so I know what I am pouring and what I am drinking.  Everyone that came over loved this Wine glass.  If you like unique and funny stem wear then this one would be the perfect glass to add to your collection or start your collection.
