Apple Butter Scones Recipe and a Hot Cup Of Lipton Green Tea Superfruit + Giveaway

One thing I enjoy drinking both hot and cold is tea. How I drink my tea depends on my mood. During the hot summer months, I like to enjoy a nice glass of iced tea to quench my thirst. During the winter months like like this month, I sometimes will enjoy a nice hot cup of tea in the morning to get my day started on the right track.

This month I have been asked to pair a food with the Lipton Green Tea Superfruit products. I received three new amazing Lipton Green Tea Superfruit varieties pictured below:

I am a big fan of raspberry, so I am pairing the Lipton Green Tea Superfruit Red Goji and Raspberry flavor with my simple  homemade Apple Butter Scones. I actually drank a hot cup of this YUMMY tea this morning with my Apple Butter Scones drenched with pure and creamy honey. For those of you that have never tried the white, creamy honey, you are missing out!

Check out my stack of Apple Butter Scones… You can eat them plain or serve them with honey or maybe your favorite fruit preserves…

and don’t forget the Lipton Tea to dunk them in….    Now for the recipe…..

Food Should Taste Good Review and Giveaway

One thing we can never keep stock in our pantry is chips. When there are kids in the home, chips seems to be one of the easiest things to snack on and they tend to go FAST! I will admit that chips are not the healthiest option when it comes to snacks, but we all like chips and we are not going to give them up.

This past month we received some YUMMY all natural chips from Food Should Taste Good. I had seen these chips in the natural food section of my local grocery store and had always wondered just how good these chips really were. I mean with a brand name “Food Should Taste Good”, one might think these chips are going to be good. I was right, they are!

Food Should Taste Good has 11 different flavors all natural chips in 5.5oz bags you are sure to love. While I have not tried all of them, I did enjoy the different flavors that we received for review.

Out of the five flavors that I tried, I will have to say that the Chocolate was my FAVORITE. I was a little skeptical at first because it was something “different”, but after eating one of the chips  it was hard putting the bag down. Since I love chocolate and I like chips, the two make a perfect combination.

Don’t think you will like the Chocolate all natural chips? Check out lineup of yummy flavors:

Multigrain, Sweet Potato, Olive, Jalapeño, The Works!, Chocolate, Lime, Blue Corn, Cheddar, Toasted Sesame, and White Cheddar.

If you are looking for a healthy snack, check out why you choose these chips….

  • They are all natural
  • Kosher
  • No MSG
  • Low sodium
  • Trans fat free
  • Gluten free
  • Lactose free
  • No preservatives
  • Cholesterol free

With all that I mentioned above, you should definitely try some of these for yourself. If you are a fan of chocolate, I suggest giving the Chocolate flavor a try. You can find out more information about these YUMMY all natural chips by visiting: http://www.foodshouldtastegood.com.

Ice Huggy Review and Giveaway

One thing that my kids and I enjoy during the summer months is flavored ice pops. They are a fun and tasty way to quench your thirst when its hot. One thing I don’t think I have ever enjoyed was holding anything frozen. When I seen a product that holds frozen ice pops, I knew I had to have a couple for the kids.

We received a package of the Ice Huggys for review. The kids were so excited to be able to use these, it was actually funny listening to my six and three year old talk them talk about them. The Ice Huggy helps keep your frozen treats frozen and not your fingers. I wish I would have these when I was a kid!

Not only do these help keep the frozen ice pops or treats frozen, they might help save on paper towel usage at your house. I know my kids like to hold their treats with a paper towel and now we can save some paper towels this summer.
