Tootsie Roll Hot Cocoa

Tootsie Roll Hot Cocoa Sampler

 


  OMG its hot coco.  As you all know I m a hot coco lover.  I cannot get enough but before two rivers coffee introduced me to these wonderful new flavors I had always stuck with just one kind.  I cannot believe the different flavors of this fantastic hot coco there is.  My favorite was of course the Tootsie roll hot coco.  This has such a fantastic flavor and was a stronger hot coco flavor. 


  Hubby was in love with the Charleston chew hot coco.  With a slight taste of mocha.   The thin mint was a perfect add to the holiday season with a slight hint of mint and coco it was like a warm holiday drink.  The sugar baby has a slight caramel taste to it.

Each of these flavors had its own distinct flavor added to the hot coco that made it special and unique.  I loved them all.  I read once that having a cup of hot coco at night can help reduce stress and help you lose weight.  I am sure going to test out this theory with these wonderful flavors.  I get my hot coco every night while battling stress.  I loved every single one of these flavors and would recommend them to everyone.  You can buy this awesome set of hot cocoas on Amazon.

Adonia Coffee

                      Adonia Coffee  Review


  I got a chance to try out this wonderful coffee for a review and it was fantastic.  This is a very easy coffee to make.  You don’t even need a coffee pot just 8 oz of hot water a cup and a spoon to mix and you are done.  This coffee has an extra added bonus to it.  They add Ganoderma which is a red mushroom extract that has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. “Ganoderma is beneficial to the whole body, here are some of the most known health benefits: mental wellness, memory enhancement, concentration, relives stress, longevity, immune system boost, viral infections, helps sooth asthma, altitude sickness, appetite suppressant, fatigue, insomnia, helps stomach soothe stomach ulcers, cleanses blood and regulates blood sugar balance.”  How awesome is that a coffee that can help ulcers not cause them.    

With all the great benefits that you can get from this mushroom alone it would be worth it.  To also get your morning caffeine intake and a great cup of coffee at the same time how can you beat that?  With so many coffee options out there this is a great choice.  Not only do you get all the great benefits of Ganoderma but it is also quick and easy to make.  They come in these great portable packages so it makes them perfect for anyone who is on the go or travels a lot.  Just throw a few in your purse and you are on your way.  I also love that when I go into a restaurant that I know makes a terrible cup of coffee I can just order a hot cup of water and make my own awesome cup.   If you are looking for a great cup of coffee with some extra benefits I would completely suggest Adonia Coffee.

PUR

PUR Ultimate 11 cup pitcher

september reviews 001

For our new college students there is nothing I can recommend more for your new Apartment or Dorm room then a great water pitcher. Reading reviews for water filtering products on websites like https://waterfilterway.com taught me that a water filter can save a lot of money. Let’s say it’s been a few years seine I went to college but one thing that always rubbed me wrong, was having to pay $2 for one bottle of water. When I had a 10 hour day if I forgot my supplies, I would end up spending $10 a day just to have enough water to drink. Not to mention if you live in the dorm rooms you are either going to waste a ton of money on bottles of water, or you can buy a few reusable bottles and fantastic taste water for FREE. This is a perfect gift for the college student on your list. Make sure while you are at the store pick up one for yourself too. In our house alone this little baby saves us over $1000 a year and countless plastic bottles in the landfill.

I have been threw a ton of water pitchers living where we do we have a ton of sulfur in the water. Not one pitcher has helped so far, until I tried the PUR the water taste fantastic and I could drink this all day. I no longer buy any water bottles I just got a few glass ones and I refill them with the pitcher. This is the perfect way to go. I just have to mention once again the water is the best I have tasted from a water pitcher ever.

I was so excite when I found out that all PUR filters fit into all of the pitchers and dispensers. No more reading the back off all the boxes to find out if it fits your model. The one filter will filter over 40 gallons which will last about 2 months. The filter is very easy to install and the water reservoir is not only big but drains fast. You will not have to wait 30 minutes to have the water filter. The indication light on the top is also fantastic. No more guessing of the filter needs to be replaced it lights up for you so you will know right away.

8in Pan

      Ozeri Green Earth 8in Pan


   I love Ozeri they have a wide range of home products that are all fantastic.  I have had the chance to try out quite a few of them and every one of them has worked perfect and was at a great price point. 

 


  The 8in Green earth pan is the smaller of the pan sizes it is perfect for breakfast and to make parts of meals.  I had to have bacon already cooked for another recipe and when I do this I also have to do a few bigger pieces for my little guy.  I used half of the pan for my little pieces and the other half for the bigger pieces and they both cooked perfect.   The pan cooked perfectly even so none of my bacon burned even though I had little and bigger pieces in there.  The pan is non stick so there were no worries about cleaning it up.  When I did clean it all I needed was a little soap and water and the pan was clean in seconds.  It even comes with the green pan protector.  Just place this in the pan when you are not using it and you will not have to worry about scratches.


  I am so excited that I added this pan to my collection.  The non stick makes it perfect to cook just about anything in it.  The easy clean up means less time in the kitchen for me. The Eco Friendly Ceramic coating means there is no harmful fumes to worry about.  This pan is all around perfect.

Knife Stand

                           Ozeri  Knife Stand

  

  I love my ceramic Ozeri knife set.  I have used it for over a year and they cut threw everything like butter.  For all this time I of course clean them by hand but then I would have to put them back in the box to protect them.  I just found out they actually make a stand for them.  I know it does not seem like a big deal but I use these knife at least once a day so finding the box and putting them back in is actually a pet peeve of mine. Not I have then right on my counter ready for the nest use.

  

  This stand it perfect it has a no slip bottom and holds the knifes perfect.   It has a very stylish sleek design that will match almost any kitchen.  I am very pleased with this stand.  I would suggest not only the knifes but the stand too they are a great buy together.  If you love to cook like me this is the perfect duo to add to your kitchen.

Push Pan

    Push Pan by Love Cooking Company

   

I was so excited to try out this new pan by Love Cooking Company.  Everything I have tried with them has been fantastic and this gave me a chance to try out making my first cheese cake.  I was truly interested in finding out how it worked.  How on earth does the batter not leak out if the bottom pops out?  Will it really pop out that easily? 

   I was excited to find out it does seal very well on the bottom nothing dripped out.  At the same time it really did pop out very easily.  After I was done baking I just tapped it a few times on the bottom and it popped right out.  Hubby said it was the best cheese cake he has ever had.  The outside was cooked perfect and the inside was creamy and delicious.  Seeing how this was my first one I told him it was the entire pan.

In my recipe I used

  Crust (I like a thick crust)

1.5 cups crushed gram crackers

1 tablespoon sugar

½ cup melted butter

½ teaspoon cinnamon

      Mix all together and spread at the bottom and about 2 inched up the side of the pan

Filling

2 8oz packages of cream cheese

¾ cup sugar

1 tablespoon flour

1 tablespoon vanilla

¼ cup milk

2 eggs

  Mix all ingredients with a hand mixer.  It needs to be mixed well

Pour inside pan

Bake at 375 for about 25 minutes or until the outer edges are settled

Take out let cool about 30 minutes.

 Separate edges from pan

Tap bottom of pan on a can of anything

      

Let cake cool the rest of the way

Cover and cool in fridge for 4 hours

   The days of making a grilled cheese sandwich with your iron in your dorm room are over. (Yes guys we used to do that).   You can now make a much better tasting snack right in your room without the starch from the iron. Lol this is perfect for your dorm room or apartment.  Just plug in wait a few minutes put your quesadilla together and close.  In 3-7 minutes you have a hot and ready meal.

  Hubby did cheese and chicken, I did beans and chicken.  They both turned out perfect and hot as can be.  It’s so simple to buy a ready cooked chicken from the store shredded cheese and you are set for the perfect meal any time.    

 

                              september reviews 048

The clean up with the Imusa Quesadilla maker was so simple just a wet paper towel and wipe it down it was perfect and ready to go again next time.  This is a perfect kitchen tool for our family and I would recommend it to everyone.  Next time you come home late back to the dorms this will be a life saver.  A quick hot snack you will be so happy you got this baby.   Its smaller and light weight so finding a place to store this awesome Quesadilla maker will not be a problem.  The biggest problem you will have with it is everyone will want to use it.

Bento Style Lunch Boxes

 Sunsella Bento Style Plastic Lunch Boxes (4 Pack)

  I have wanted a set of these since I had seen them at my sister’s house.  They are perfect to pack up lunches for hubby and especially for baby boy.  You know how kids are once one food touches another it is no loner edible.  I was paying a lot more money for single serve packages to make sure this would not happen.  Now I can buy the bigger boxes and separate them right in his lunch container.  I am also excited to make my lunch for the week.  On Sunday I can bake my chicken and steam my broccoli and make a lunch for each day of the week and be set.  No more cooking everyday for lunch.

        

  This set comes with 4 bento style lunch boxes.  You can keep them for yourself or even assign each person a color so you know when it’s missing; they are BPA free and can be put in the freezer.  If you buy a few sets you can make dinners or lunch for a few weeks and just freeze and go.  The lids fit nice and snug so no worries about it coming off and spilling everywhere.  When you are done you can just rinse and throw them in the dishwasher.  I am very excited that I now have these in my life they are going to make lunch time in our home so much easier.

Salad Spinner

        Ozeri Salad Spinner

                              

  If you are anything like me you buy your lettuce every week.  I think I am going to have it every night with dinner and even lunch.  This never happens.  It sits in my drawer till I buy a new one and throw out the old one.  It’s just too much work to add in everyday making each salad one by one.  Then having to clean the lettuce, it never dries so I always have a puddle of water at the bottom of my bowl. 

       

  When I got the Ozeri salad spinner I was excited to give it a try.  I cut up the whole head of lettuce and rinsed it.  I loved that the colander you rinse it in is part of the salad spinner no dirtying 20 different bowls.  Then just place inside pop the lock and spin.  All that extra water that is usually at the bottom of my bowl came flying off.  Then just dumb the water.  The spinner locked back down and now it’s stored in its own container.  I had this front and center in my refrigerator and I actually had a salad every night.  I even had a few for lunch.  This was a perfect add to my kitchen I will be using it every week to help keep me on track and have some fantastic salads.
