Zoku Milkshake maker

tabbyspantry

ot the chance to try out the Zoku slush / milkshake maker and I love it.

I am a true lover of slush and milk shakes but let’s be honest slushy’s never turn out right at home and to pull out and have to clean a whole blender for one milk shake is just too much work.  I was so excited to try this out.   Baby boy had never had a slush (we have no stores that even sell them) so when we got this I went right out and bought some juice to try out.  I got apple juice and orange juice to mix together for baby boy and he loved it.  This was so easy to do and we had a nice frozen good for him treat in less than 5 minutes.  When we were done I just cleaned out the cup and re froze it to have it ready for our next treat.

This was so easy to use just freeze the inside cup standing straight up for 8-12 hours.  When t is nice and frozen put in the sleeve for (so you don’t freeze your hands) and pour your juice in.  Then from there it is no work at all just use your spoon to scrape the edges every time you scrape you will get another layer of slush off the sides keep n doing this every few minutes and bam you are done.  As you can see this was so easy to do even baby boy was helping out.  He had a blast doing it for himself. At the end he had a great slush.   If you are a juicer this will be great for you.  With your fresh squeezed juice every day just add it to your Zoku and make yourself a great slushy.

Wholly Guacamole Halloween

tabbyspantry

I got the chance to do a review with Wholly Guacamole for Halloween and we loved it.

Wholly Guacamole is a fantastic company that makes not only fantastic guacamole but also some great salsa.   We were so excited to have a Guacamole party we started right away coming up with some spooky but still not to spooky treats.  We have the 3 year old so don’t want him waking up scared all night.

 

First we made a great zombie dip.  I used some refried beans on the bottom then added a layer of guacamole and then a layer of cheese on the top and of course some salsa for the red eyes.  And bam we have a great zombie dip very easy to make and it was gobbles up in just a few minutes

 

The pucking pumpkin/ orange pepper was fun.  If you are serving a lot of people you can use a pumpkin we only had a few people due to a random snow storm so I went with the orange pepper.  Just carve a face into it and add the avocado guacamole and mix with the mango salsa or hot salsa and you have your dip.  This looks neat and is also very easy to do.  I also added a little salsa dripping down the face for effect. If you do a pumpkin add a candle for a little more flare.

The twice baked potato eye balls were the hit of the party these were gone the second I put the plate down.  Get a bag of little red potatoes cut them in half and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.  Take them out and you will have a white layer over the cut halves peel that layer off and throw away.   Then I scoop out the inside and add in butter a little bacon grease, bacon bits and shredded cheese and a little sour cream.  Mix all together in a bowl till its all mushy then put back into the potato and cook at 350 for another half hour.  I take out and add a dab of guacamole as the eye ball and a dab on top of that of salsa to finish it off.

 

These are all so easy to make and will be a big hit at any Halloween party.  What is your favorite Halloween Recipe? As you can tell I am no artist but baby boy thought they were the best things ever.  But they did taste fantastic.

Krave Jerky

tabbyspantry

If you are looking for a great jerky with wonderful unique flavors this is it.  I of course am a lemon lover cannot resist it so when I saw the Lemon Garlic I went straight for it.   This is one of the most wonderful flavors I have tasted in sooo long.  It was a perfect blend of seasoning with a jerky that was made to perfection.  I have very sensitive teeth and usually eating jerky hurts my Jaw but I could eat Krave Jerky just fine.  This is a big plus for me.

Hubby of course claimed the rest for himself this did not turn out so well for him baby boy saw what he was eating and went nuts.  The teriyaki was of course baby boy’s favorite we had to hide the bag from him or he would have eaten the whole thing.

I got to eventually try the rest of the flavors when I found out where hubby hide them.  I loved every one.   This is a great company with not only a great product but unbelievable customer service.  For those of you that make gift baskets for presents this would also be a great add to them. Some Of their great flavors are

Chili Lime

Smoky Grilled Teriyaki

Lemon Garlic

Basil Citrus

Sweet Chipotle

 

I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a great Jerky, but be cautious you will be addicted it is just way too good.

Tiesta Tea

tabbyspantry

I got to try these wonderful teas from tiesta.  They were fantastic.

They sent me a verity of their most popular teas.

Nutty Almond Cream, Blueberry Wild Child, Fruity Pebbles, Passion Berry Jolt, Maui Mango

.As you know I love a good tea.   These are a loose leaf tea so when they showed up I got my loose leaf tea steeper out and got to brewing.  I was instantly surprised when I saw the package and it said makes 30-50 cups I thought no way. But to my surprise you did need very little to make a great cup of tea.  They also had the caffeine level right on the front of the package no searching to find out if it was a day time or night time tea,  I love this there has been so many time I make a cup of tea at night just to realize it had high caffeine in it.  You all know what happens then.

I loved every one of the teas that they sent me but of course I have my favorites.

Maui Mango

Ohh my god like a little cup of heaven. It actually has Pineapple bits, Orange slices, Safflowers, marigolds, and strawberry bits.  I drank this one hot and cold. It was great both ways.  I could not believe that these few things mixed could make such a great cup of tea.

My other favorite was Passion Berry Jolt. This one is just what is sounds like a great Passion berry tea with a high level of caffeine which I need early in the morning and some times in the early afternoon.

This is a fantastic company with a great product and a great bunch of people working there.  I would recommend them to everyone.

Functional Beverage Shots

tabbyspantry

Functional Beverage Shots for Sleep, Energy, Relaxation, Sports, Blood Circulation, and Focus

 

I got the chance to try these great shots and loved them.


 

The first one I used was the relax and after the last few weeks I have had I need it.  I was a little weary at first because a lot of these shots taste really gross.  I was very pleasantly surprised by how good all these shots tasted.  The relax was great I did feel more relaxed after I took it and it had a slight lime taste and I do love me some citrus.      

 

After I had the first one I was very excited to try out the rest.  Each and everyone had a very pleasant taste and helped do just the job it said it would. I was very happy with the fact that the sports and the energy did not have me crashing after but it did give me the energy and stamina I needed for the event.  The sleep was great fell off to sleepy land and did not wake up groggy in the morning at all. 


These are just too great I cannot say enough about them.  I will definitely be buying for of these. It is so hard to find these shots that taste great and actually do what they say.  For you mommy’s out there the Focus shot is a must.

 

I loved these shots and would recommend these to everyone.  They have a great one for whatever you need is.

Tropical Traditions

Tropical Traditions

We got the chance to try the Tropical traditions Coconut oil and loved it.

 

Of course the minute I told most people about this review they all went nuts.  I could not believe the amount of people who are in love with coconut oil.  After getting to try it my self I can totally understand why.  This is not only a great product for cooking with but also for everyday use.

 

 

 

As you all know I am a bath nut and a tropical nut one suggestion I hear that of course I jumped on what to hold about a table spoon under running water for a great bath oil that smelled fantastic.  They were right I can tell you I will be doing this often not only did the whole bathroom smell great but my skin was so soft after my bath.

Another great idea was to use it as a body oil, which of course you know I tried out and loved it.  Like I said if it makes me feel like I am on a tropical vacation it is a must in my house.

 

Cooking with it was so easy.  One of my mail uses was to use it for hasbrown in the morning made us a tropical breakfast with some coconut oil hashbrowns with a nice fruit salad and scrambled eggs, it all went perfectly together.

 

With a great product with so many uses I think it is a must in any household.  More great ideas for this great product check out this video.

KOPALI Chocolate

tabbyspantry

I got the chance to try the Kopali dark chocolate and loved it.

 

We got to try 2 different ones the Chocolate covered banana and the Chocolate Nibs.   These were so good and perfect sizes not huge chunks so I could grab a hand full and eat a few and did not feel like I was eating a whole candy bar.  I loved that fact that it was dark chocolate which I am usually not a big fan of but theirs was delicious.  I could eat these all day long.

Some Great Info on them I think this is why their chocolate is so good.

Kopali Chocolates are crafted from exceptional quality, single-origin cacao from Peru; we even manufacture and package everything right there at origin – to minimize excess transit, and to maximize freshness, quality, and positive impact on the community.

We carefully select, roast and blend the cacao for Kopali’s chocolate, to craft a luscious dark chocolate that is rich but not bitter, and smooth, with just the right level of satisfying sweetness.  We are getting great feedback from all sorts of chocolate-lovers!

Kopali Chocolates are extremely pure, with no oils, dairy or refined sugar added; they are vegan as well as gluten-free.

Kopali Chocolates are certified organic as well as fair trade; we first founded Kopali while living and farming in the rainforest of Costa Rica, feeling the opportunity and importance to support communities of sustainable farmers growing amazing food in harmony with nature

The chocolate cover banana was baby boy’s favorite I could not keep them away from him.  I loved the chocolate nibs these were so good and hubby put them in his coffee and loved them.  This chocolate will melt in your mouth and the dark chocolate is so much better for you then the milk chocolate.  My only warning is buy more than 1 bag you will finish the first and not want to wait for the next bag.  My favorite time is when baby boy went to bed I would get my goodies and watch my favorite TV show you all know I love some good mommy time.

I would recommend These to everyone they are fantastic.

tabbyspantry

Baby boy got the chance to try out some of the great food and snacks from Ella’s kitchen and loved them.

Ella’s kitchen make a great selection of snacks and foods for your little one.  You can get them at most supermarkets in lots of veritys.  I could not believe when I went to the store how many different veritys they had for my little guy.  I was also very happy to see that the price was a good price and I could afford to get baby boy a few different ones.   Don’t forget to join them n facebook they usually have some great printable coupons for you too.  These are a great way to have a to go snack for your little one where they can still get all their fuits and veggies they need.

He got to try out the Nibbly fingers in banana + raisins and cranberry + acai. The food packs in Chicken casserole, Thai Curry vegetable with rice, and Tomato-y Pasta, and the Squeeze pack in pears mangoes and papayas.

 

The Nibbly fingers were fantastic baby boy had one every morning as a snack before breakfast.  His favorite were the Cranberry + acai.  They are perfect finger foods for your little one in a nice to go package so you can also throw them in your bag and have to snack on the go.

 

The food packs are great for our house hold.  There are many time where hubby works nights and baby boy has is going to pass out early I have no food made but want to make sure he gets something in him.  These were perfect for him had all the good ingreadents he needs and in a simple open and serve package.  Of course the Curry Vegetables with rice was his favorite but he also liked the others.

 

And the squeeze pack a favorite in our house.  As you know our house hold loves these not just baby boy but me to for a quick and easy snack.  He loved the Pears and mangoes and papayas were wonderful.  Baby boy shared this one with me and we both loved it.  I love that the squeeze packs they are simple easy and very portable.

We loved Ella’s kitchen and love the new flavors they have come out with a more grown up tast for your little one helping them get started for all the wonderful flavors they will find in the big world.

Ozeri Knifes

tabbyspantry

Ozeri Knifes

I got the chance to try out their knife set and love it.

You all know I love cooking and nothing makes cooking harder than having a bad set of knifes.  So I was very excited to try these out.  This was a great set of three knifes I could use for so many things.  The knifes where sharp and ready to go.  I also loved that packaging they came in.  The two things most responsible for making your knifes dull are washing them in the dish washer and throwing them in a drawer.  So this packing was perfect when I clean them I put them right back in and put the whole package up and of course out of the way of little hands.  They are sharp and ready for the next use.

It came with three ceramic knifes.  Which I love ceramic I have had the chance to use ceramic knifes before when I was cooking at a golf course and loved them,  They stay sharper longer and cut threw stuff like it was butter.  I have to admit I always thought they were way to expensive I had no idea you could get a great set if them for just $29.95 (this is a sale price of them on Amazon right now as I am writing this)  Normally $79.95 which is still a great price for three.

The knifes had great balance and cut through my fruits and veggies like they were nothing.  These are a great set whether you cook for fun or professionally.   I love the fact that there were three different ones when I am making a big meal no cleaning in between changing items, I can use one for meat one for veggies and one for fruits I don’t have to worry about cross contaminating when cooking I used a different knife for everything.  I have to admit my favorite is the little one I have very small hands and it helped me keep control while cutting big slabs of meat into little pieces.

I would recommend these to everyone
