Michael Season’s Popped Black Bean Crisps Review + Giveaway

March 13, 2012 By Stefani

Since I am a foodie, I obviously like to try new foods. I also like to stick new foods in our pantry to see if the kids and my husband will grab it and see their reactions.

I recently received some of the Michael Season’s Black Bean Crisps to try. These are all natural popped black bean crisps that currently are available in 3 different flavors. These snacks are definitely healthier than the normal chips we buy and they are also gluten FREE. When I received them, I thought it would be fun to stick all 3 bags in the pantry to see who would find them first. [Read more...]

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

February 2, 2012 By Stefani

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…..
