Colman’s Mustard Was In My Deviled Eggs

November 25, 2011 By Stefani 5 Comments

Up until yesterday, I had only used mustard in a liquid form out of a bottle. With all the cooking I have done, I never realized there was an actual dry version of mustard that I could use in my food.

I was making deviled eggs and I remembered that I received a neat tin of Colman’s Mustard to check out. Since I use mustard in my eggs, I thought I would go ahead and try some with my egg mix and see if anyone would notice. I thought they tasted good and I guess so did everyone else because all of my eggs got gobbled up.

Here is a peak of my deviled eggs with the Colman’s Mustard in the mix….

After thinking about it, I didn’t get a chance to eat any eggs of this tray so they must have been good!

Lotus Biscoff Spread Review

October 16, 2011 By Stefani 1 Comment

I have found a product that I think I might just have to keep as a staple in my pantry. This is something that might just win over on the peanut butter when I am making a sandwich because it is that good. And I LOVE peanut butter. What I am thinking about right now is the Biscoff Spread by Lotus Bakeries. This stuff isn’t just yummy, it is delicious.

I think the Biscoff Spread is perfect with just a piece of bread or a bagel. I was thinking it might be a great to use in some of my dessert recipes too! If you have not tried it, it is a sweet creamy spread that is made with original Lotus Biscoff Cookies. My husband gave me funny looks when he first seen me eating it on a piece of bread. The next time I ate some, I made him a piece and he asked for another piece. I don’t think I am sharing with the kids….

For those of you that have an allergy to peanuts, this might be perfect because it contains NO NUTS.

Heinz 57 Sauce – My New Condiment Staple + Recipe

September 19, 2011 By Stefani Leave a Comment

You know up until last month, I had never tried the Heinz 57 Sauce. I am a big fan of condiments and I had never tried Heinz 57 Sauce on anything. Don’t get me wrong, I have heard of it and seen the bottle on the shelves the grocery store, just never grabbed a bottle to buy. This year Heinz 57 Sauces is celebrating their 100th Anniversary, so that right there must mean that the stuff is good!

Sometimes there are those that have their favorite steak sauce and they don’t want try anything else, wink wink. Well what I found out is that Heinz 57 tastes awesome on chicken. When it comes to meals that I prepare, I would say that we eat chicken more often than all other meats. With that said, I am always looking for new ways to give it some flavor. This past month I have been using the Heinz 57 in various chicken dishes to give it some zest. The kids and the hubby have been pleased with my Heinz 57 chicken dishes too!

I will definitely be keeping a bottle on stock in my fridge!

Below is a recipe that you can find on the Heinz 57 website for Heinz 57 Chicken Turnovers.

Recipe: Heinz 57 Chicken Turnovers

Ingredients

1 package (13.8 oz.) refrigerated pizza crust dough
1/2 cup Heinz 57® Sauce
1/2 cup prepared spinach dip
2 cups frozen cooked fajita-style chicken strips, thawed and chopped
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle work surface with a pinch of flour or cornmeal to prevent dough from sticking if desired. Unroll dough onto work surface and cut into 4 pieces.
In a small bowl, mix together 57 Sauce and spinach dip until smooth. Spread about 1/4 cup of Sauce mixture evenly on each piece of dough, leaving 1/2-in. around the edge. Arrange 1/2 cup of chicken and 2 Tbsp. of pepper onto one half of a dough piece. Gently fold dough over the filling to form a triangle shape. Seal the edges by crimping with fingertips or with a fork. Cut 1 or 2 slits on top of crust. Repeat with remaining dough pieces. Transfer turnovers to baking sheet and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve immediately
Enjoy

What is your favorite condiments?

Nonni’s Biscotti Review

August 12, 2011 By Stefani 9 Comments

I have a new love for Biscotti!

Up until this last week, I never really thought much of Biscotti. I have heard the word, but never knew just how good a piece of Biscotti could be. That is up until I took my first bite of a Nonni’s Turtle Pecan Biscotti. Don’t get me wrong, there are other Nonni’s Biscotti that are good, but this one is SUPER GOOD in my opinion.

The Nonni’s Turtle Pecan Biscotti could be described as a light crunchy cookie that is filled with the finest pecans available, blended with creamy caramel and dipped in gourmet milk chocolate. This is an awesome combination that will have you eating more than just one.

While these are great for dipping, they are great alone as well. They are individually packaged in the box and have a calorie value of only 110. These yummy treats are also All Natural!

Nonni’s Biscotti is made with real eggs and butter, making them rich in flavor, light and crunchy in texture, and delicately sweet. They are baked twice, then individually wrapped to ensure that the cookies you get are exactly as Nonni intended them- fresh tasting and of the highest quality.

We also received for review some of the other flavors that include: Cioccolati Biscotti, Decadence Biscotti, Originali Biscotti and Classic Almond Biscotti. We LOVED them all….

If you are looking for a bite size Biscotti, try the Nonni’s Biscotti Bites…. We received some of these and they were just as good, just a small version.

Be sure to “Like” Nonni’s Biscotti on Facebook for your chance to WIN a Nonni’s Biscotti jar filled with Nonni’s Biscotti plus coupons or even a $100 Amex card to “Treat Yourself”. They are having giveaways that are daily, weekly, monthly and a grand prize trip for 2 to Italy.

Fish Tacos With Sea Pak + Recipe

July 16, 2011 By Stefani 2 Comments

At my house we eat a ton of tacos. Not at one time, but just in general. We even have a little tradition we try to do each week called “Taco Tuesdays” where I get out the frying pan and make homemade tacos. Today I made my first fish taco. I know its not Tuesday, but I am practicing. What was really cool was my picky daughter Hannah made a fish taco for lunch too. She is almost 7 years old and not one to eat any kind of fish. I think I might have got her interested in it now.

Since it is Saturday and I felt like being lazy, I made my fish tacos today using the Sea Pak Popcorn Fish. I LOVE this product and wish to keep it as a staple in my freezer. The Sea Pak Popcorn Fish is made with small bits of flaky white fish that are then coated with Sea Pak’s signature breadcrumb coating. These are perfect bite sized fish that are ready in only 14 minutes. These can be used as a snack or even as a meal. Today I decided to use them to make Fish Tacos! I even used a tomato from my own garden!

Ritz Multigrain Crackerfuls Review

July 11, 2011 By Stefani 2 Comments

When it comes to snacking, cheese and crackers can sometimes really hit the spot. This is especially true if you have a box of Ritz Crackerfuls on hand…..

This month I have had the opportunity to try the Ritz Multigrain Crackerfuls. The Ritz Multigrain Crackerfuls are the same as a regular Ritz Crackerful but made with multigrains. These crackers are made with real cheese, 5 grams of fiber and 8 grams of whole grain per serving. They are sold in a box of 6 individually wrapped crackers.

We tried the three multigrain varieties and I LOVE them all. For me, I can’t just eat one either. Once I eat one of these YUMMY crackers, I have to have another one. Maybe they will come out in 2 packs in the future. We tried the Sharp Cheddar, Garden Vegetable and Garlic Herb flavors. I am a fan of cheddar, so of the three varieties that I tried, the Ritz Multigrain Sharp Cheddar Crackerfuls are my FAVORITE!

Ready to buy some? Be sure to visit the Ritz Crackers Facebook page to print a coupon to Save $.75 cents OFF Ritz Crackerfuls.
