Yes, I am proud to say my family and I are in LOVE with TortillaLand. If you follow my blog at all, I am sure you recall a post a did a few months ago about TortillaLand Fresh Tortillas.
If not, let me refresh everyone about TortillaLand.
TortillaLand is proud to produce three varieties (flour, corn and whole wheat) of fresh and delicious uncooked tortillas. You can find this amazingly convenient fresh tortilla in your stores refrigerated section.
Don't let the fact that TortillaLand tortillas are uncooked scare you. They are beyond quick and simple to prepare. Trust me once you prepare a TortillaLand tortilla...you will never go back to the precooked tortillas on your grocery stores traditional shelves.
From the package to your table...TortillaLand tortillas only take 60 seconds to prepare. Yes, only 60 seconds!!! You can prepare them many different ways and enjoy the aromas while they cook.
I personally have cooked them on the grill...
It adds a nice smokey, charred flavor.
I have cooked them on the stove in a pan, and also directly on our flat stove top...it works perfectly and no clean up (which is my favorite).
And just this past week I have started using an electric Quesadilla Maker to prepare these Fresh TortillaLand tortillas.
Enjoy homemade freshness any time with premium-quality uncooked flour tortillas from TortillaLand. I my opinion you can't get any more authentic of a tortilla, unless you are previlaged to have a talented individual who creates these by hand for start to finish for you.
My youngest son enjoys warm TortillaLand tortillas so much, he asks for them plain as a snack before bed.
My middle son LOVES his TortillaLand Quesadillas from the maker.
And my oldest son is camara shy...but he loves his TortillaLand Tortillas fresh off the grill and created into fish tacos.
I think the best part about being a Mom and using TortillaLand Fresh Tortillas is they are made with Only 5 Simple Ingredients....No Cholestrol, 0g Transfat and No Saturated Fat. I have received materials and products from TortillaLand, but all opinions are my own.

I am so guilty....I own more t-shirts than I do any other piece of clothing.
So, whenHeadline Shirts asked if I would do an honest review and giveaway one t-shirt from there immense line of t-shirts....Did I have to think twice?
NO!!! I was right on that! I was so "right on that" I actually purchased a second t-shirt for my husband and you will soon see.
Headline Shirts creates funny t-shirts from themes in the news: pop culture, politics, music and of course history (like the 80s!). When something happens in your world, Headline Shirts is on the scene to make a t-shirt about it.
The Catwork Orange is mine and I purchased the men's size, even though they do offer Women's sizes...I like the way Men's shirts fit better. The shirt fits true to size and is 100% cotton and washed up very well. The shirt was very soft and of average quality.
I love the tagless feature....and Headline Shirts adds some very funny "care details" on the tagless design....if you win...you will understand. Plus they use Eco-Friendly Water Based Ink.
I purchased my husband the Worthy Adversary Shirt. He chuckled when he saw it and likes it.

"Our mission is to indulge your senses of sight, smell, and taste with a tantalizing new experience that comes from just a single bite into an Amella Caramel"
The secret ingredient in Amella Caramels is Pure Cocoa Butter. The cocoa butter changes an ordinary caramel into an extraordinary experience...a caramel that also acts like a truffle. The cocoa butter lets the flavors in each Caramel explode and tantalize your taste buds.
All of Amella's Artisan Caramels are created from the finest and freshest ingredients....including real fruits, spices, nuts, vegetables, and chocolate. No Preservatives are used!! And a bonus....Less Sugar is needed as Amella Caramels rely on superior ingredients for flavor....not just sugar.
Amella never takes short cuts! They actually use REAL fruit or Veggies (yes, veggies don't be scared trust me....mmmmm sweet carrots) and lots of them. And to literary top it off....each Amella is enrobed with a rich bath of the Highest Quality Belgium and French Chocolate Blends! What a great accompaniment.
The Passion Fruit was my absolute favorite flavor. Not only did each bite have the fresh tang from the passion fruit, but I could also taste Tahitian Vanilla. Each bite left me craving more. The milk chocolate coating was a perfect addition to this Royal caramel.
Each bite of Black Forest Amella Caramel was blended to perfection. Amarelle Tart Cherries, Tahitian Vanilla and 70% rich, but not bitter Dark Chocolate. The flavors combined with the out of this world texture to make a bite size dessert.
And last but not least the Carrot Cake Amella Caramel. I would have never thought to combine such ingredients together....but it really works. I even forgot I was enjoying a caramel. Fresh carrots, roasted pecans (really helps bring out the nutty flavors), cocoa butter and white chocolate to top it. When I read the description I was concerned this caramel would be overly sweet. It is NOT!

New England Coffee is owned by a third generation of the Kaloyanides and Dostou families and has been providing quality and service for over 90 years. They believe in the highest standards of customer service and product quality which has been passed on in the true tradition of family business.
While they have grown to become New England's largest independent coffee roaster, their philosophy and goals are still the same - to buy and sell premium coffee and provide the best service possible.
New England Coffee methods are not cutting edge. In fact, they're antiquated by most people's standards. And they wouldn't change a thing. It's the only way we know how to make sure that you'll always enjoy a consistently great cup of coffee.
As fine coffee becomes more and more integral to the American way of life, New England Coffee will continue to indulge you with their consistent tradition of good taste.
New England Coffee sent me out a bag each of their Seasonal Pumpkin Spice and Eggnog freshly ground Coffee to review.
I just want to start by saying I wish I had "SMELL-O-VISION" available on my blog. As I am going to do my best at capturing the delightful aromas and flavors I am still enjoying, one cup at a time.
It is full of sweet pumpkin flavor with a nice bite of spice. (yet, it is smooth and not bitter. I very nice light roast) I think I could taste cinnamon, nutmeg and maybe some cloves. I love enjoying a cup of this after supper. It is like dessert in a mug + my house smells wonderful.
New England Coffee, some how captured the essence of Eggnog with this Light Coffee blend. It is very balance and has a nice hint of nutmeg. I will be saving the rest of this to serve to guests over Christmas. This is going to be a hit! I just know it. I will be trying some with a dollop of fresh whipping cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg for a elegant and flavorful touch.
Happy Holidays!

A few weeks ago I was searching online for something new and healthy to offer my young boys. Especially something that they would love and fit in their lunchboxes (for the two that go to school).
I came across a company call Giddy on Facebook. I then had to go check out their website.
"The key to our happiness is pretty simple—balanced, healthy living. Eating well is such a huge part of feeling good. We know parents want wholesome and convenient snacks for their kids, but kids often prefer the more artificial, fun options. That's why we created giddy. We're using simple, all natural ingredients and offering them in engaging, interactive formats. We've made wholesome fun! Our lives are hectic. Finding snacks both you and your kids love shouldn't be."
I knew these were the snacks I needed to find for my boys! Giddy was so kind to provide me or should I say my boys (and my husband...keep reading) a box of Giddy Dip'ems Tropical and one box of Sour Apple.
My boys went Giddy over these.... Here are is the play by play!
YUMMMMMMM!!!!!!
They truly loved them. And my husband (Yes...he stole an entire package after supper last night...all for himself) loved the Tropical (I also snuck a taste...and so do I). I can't wait to stock up on more of these. You can find out who carries them right HERE.
Giddy's first snacktivity - dip'ems!
biscuits baked with whole grains to dip in real fruit
no high fructose corn syrup
all natural
a good source of calcium
no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives

Infusion is done in a delicate manner to ensure the olive oil is protected from excess heat and particulates. This ensures that only the flavor is changed, but the core nature of the oil is not affected. At enFuso we use a hand selected blend of sweet, nutty, and aromatic woods that best complement the oils and a specially designed smoker that enables us to precisely control the heat and smoke levels. "
The Yee's were kind to share some of their artisan Smoke Infused Olive Oil with me to sample and review. The provide a bottle of Late Harvest enFuso Smoke Infused Extra Virgin California Olive Oil.
They also sell Early Harvest and Unsmoked Early Harvest Olive Oils. The main difference between the Early and Late harvest is the Early is more robust in flavor.
I started by just tasting the Last Harvest enFuso. Wow! It was amazing and delightfully smokey. It truly reminded me of smoked salt, with out all the sodium.
The first recipe I tried enFuso in was some of my homemade "refrigerator" soup. I call it refrigerator soup, because you never know what might be in it out of the fridge :). The reason I decided to add a little of the Late Harvest enFuso was due to my addition of polish sausage as the meat.
It was a winning combination. The enFuso really brought out the smokiness of the sausage and did not add any extra salt.
I can't wait to see what other uses I find for enFuso. I know I am going to be trying it as a dipping oil with a little fresh cracked pepper. Yummmm!
Add to your guacamole to spike up the flavor or just drizzle on your taco or burrito. Add
flavor to your carne asada or carnitas with a finishing spritz.
Sprinkle over an artisan salad instead of dressing, such as a field greens, walnut and goat cheese salad
or classic Caesar. Make a smoky vinagarette with balsamic vinegar, fresh garlic, salt, pepper and hint of Dijon.
Use in lower heat stir fry recipes or just finish off your hot stir fry with an extra squirt for flavor. Drizzle on potstickers or into the filling of your eggroll. Add smoky flavor to your fried rice. Sprinkle over your popcorn, and toss in some grated Parmesan cheese for an amazing snack. Make some
home-made croutons or roast chex mix with smoked olive oil and add nuts for your quick energy fix.
Just to share a few from their website.
I am certain you are interested in trying some out yourself.
You can purchase directly off of enFuso's website store.
Just because Summer is over and Autumn has arrived...doesn't mean you have to stop grilling or using your favorite spices to make your food more exciting and enjoyable.
With the help of "The Gourmet Seasoned Salt Company" you can make any dish come alive and be remembered by all who had the chance to sample it.
Speaking of sampling The Gourmet Seasoned Salt Company from Valparaiso, IN sent me out some wonderful samples to try of their Gourmet Seasonings and they are also allowing me to share the love with one of my bloggy buddies...who will receive 3 - 2oz bottles of The Gourmet Seasoned Salts. A $20 Value with Shipping and Handling!
Let me share with you my excitement and ease the three different flavors I have the opportunity to sample brought to our table.
We are always eating fresh veggies for supper. But some times I am just in the mood to make our veggies special...but without all the hassle (3 boys, school, homework and bedtime come around too fast at our house.) Well with the help of:
Groovy Greens Vegetable Seasoning! It is buttery and some lemon included seasoning with some red and green bell peppers. It is delicious on green beans! It didn't take very much of the Gourmet Seasoning to add a totally different and refreshing flavor profile to something so simple and healthy.
"It is ideally suited to vegetables, mushrooms, fish and potatoes. It also goes very well with ground beef, and as a rib rub."
Kickin' Chicken Seasoning & Rub will elevate your chicken & poultry recipes to the top level, instantly! After one smell of this flavorful Seasoning...There was no doubt in my mind how I was going to enjoy it! On a bowl of fresh popped popcorn. It was so gooooood! Garlic, onion, tomato, lemon, sweet peppers...are you drooling yet? I know I am. I can't wait to actually try this on my beer can chicken on the grill.
"It's also been known to assist cooks in the performance of minor miracles involving beef, pork, fish, seafood, potatoes and vegetables. It is a good all around seasoning, suitable for both kitchen and table use."
Steak Warrior Seasoning & Rub is the ideal solution for the miraculous transformation of any piece of beef! It enhances and magnifies the natural flavor of red meat without over powering your taste buds.
I don't know if you have noticed, but a lot of steak rubs/seasoning I have tried always see spicy and actually cover up the meat flavor. Steak Warrior does not do that at all. I am not sure how they came up with such a balanced seasoning but they did. We love this at our house and need to place an order for some more.
Now on to this Sensational Giveaway.....
One Person will win 3, 2oz Bottles of the Gourmet Seasoned Salt Company Spices I sampled. ($20 Value with shipping)
