We eat a lot of snacks and crackers in our house.  What is your favorite kind of cracker to munch on?  I received some tasty samples of Milton's Gourmet Crackers.  These are great to eat all by themselves or to top with a variety of different things.  They are a great addition to any cheese plate too.  How would you serve these?

Milton's Gourmet Crackers come in 5 varieties.  They offer Original Multi-Grain, Everything Multi-Grain, Roasted Garlic and Herb Multi Grain, Whole Wheat Sesame Multi-Grain, and Crispy Sea Salt.  I love to eat the Roasted Garlic and Herb crackers by themselves.  These are full of flavor, but not too overpowering.  I love to top the Original Multi-Grain Crackers with things like cheese or salami.  All of these crackers can also be used as an alternative to dipping instead of a chip.  They are great that way too.  They all are flavorful and you truly can tell that they are made with quality ingredients.  They are also really nice to have around, so you have something to put out when you have guests over.

Milton's also offers Wholesome Bread, Snack Crackers, and more.  You can learn more about all of the tasty products that they offer by visiting their website.  You can also connect with Milton's on Facebook and Twitter too.

Caramel Matchaccino Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I have always loved everything green tea.  It has such an amazing flavor.  I have never tried the matcha powder, but have been very intrigued by it.  I have had a blended green tea frap at a coffee house.  I will say that it is honestly too expensive to enjoy frequently.  Did you know that you can make these kind of blended green tea drinks at home?  It's really easy too.  Red Leaf Tea offers powdered mixes that you simply put in your blender with just a few other ingredients.  The results is a delicious drink that is right on par with those more expensive drinks that you buy at coffee shops.

I want to introduce you to Caramel Matchaccino from Red Leaf Tea.  This is so easy to make!  I used my little single serve blender to mix it up.  You add a scoop of the mix, 6 to 8 oz. of milk, and ice.  You blend it and then enjoy.  The drink is very flavorful.  I loved it.  It was nice and frothy too.  The drink was perfectly sweetened and I really like that it was not overly sweet.  The Caramel Matchaccino mix can also be used to make hot tea latte drinks too.  How would you try it?

You can learn more about Red Leaf's Caramel Matchaccino mix and all of their other products by visiting their website.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Shelton's Premium Poultry Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

We eat a lot of chicken and turkey in our house.  Did you know that not all poultry is the same?  Shelton's is the largest poultry distributor in the US.  Pretty neat!  They began in 1924.  It all started with just one hen that was given to the Shelton's as a wedding gift.  Their poultry is raised in free range conditions too.  What exactly is free range though?  Their poultry is completely natural.  This means that the poultry has a way to go outdoors.  This is still a family run business.  Their products are used in many fine restaurants out West.

Shelton's offers more than 50 products.  I was sent some of their products to try out.  I was really impressed.  I expected nothing else with the background behind this company.  I received some of Shelton's Turkey Sticks.  My kids love jerky sticks, but I limit how often they are allowed to eat them.  Let's be honest.  Most of them are loaded with junk.  Shelton's Turkey Sticks are completely different.  They are loaded with flavor and quality ingredients.  They taste great and are a wonderful snack that I can feel good about my kids eating.  These are available in flavors like jalepeno turkey, pepperoni turkey, and original turkey.  My personal favorite is their jalepeno turkey.  Their Turkey Sticks are low in calories too.  They are just 36 calories per stick!  They also offer Turkey Jerky.  This is some of the best turkey jerky I have ever had.  It is also low calorie, but loaded with flavor.  The jerky was tender too!

Shelton's also offers chili.  I love chili, but often the canned variety doesn't really resemble what I would call chili.  Shelton's Turkey Chili is a quality chili that is made with quality ingredients.  I tried both the spicy and mild and enjoyed them both.  I love spice, so my personal favorite is their spicy variety.  Shelton's Turkey Chili is perfect to serve on a cold day.  I love that I can open a can and have really good chili that has a homemade taste.  What variety would you want to try?

Shelton's now also offers canned chicken.  I typically have not liked the canned chicken I have tried in the past.  Shelton's canned chicken is much different though.  It is antibiotic free just like the rest of their products.  It is made with really nice pieces of chicken breast meat.  It is delicious.  It's easy to use.  I love to serve it on top of a salad for a quick and healthy meal.  It is also a really quick way to make chicken salad.  

These are just some of the products that Shelton's offers.  You can visit their website to learn more about them.

Mama Francesca Premium Cheese Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

I am always looking for ways to jazz up my meals, but not add a ton of calories.  I love to find products that add lots of flavor to my dishes.  What do you use to enhance your food?  I love to use parmesan cheese.  I use it on salads, Italian dishes, and much more.  I want to introduce you to Mama Francesca's Premium Cheese.  This is not just your typical cheese in a shaker.  It is much more!

Mama Francesca's Cheese really grabbed my attention when I saw that they offered more than just regular parmesan.  They offer 6 great varieties of premium cheese.  Their cheeses are aged perfectly.  Their cheeses come in blends that are flavorful, unique and delicious.  Mama Francesca's Premium Cheese is available in the following varieties. . . . 

Audace - Parmesan and Romano

Terzetto - Parmesan, Asiago, and Romano

Perfetto - Classic Parmesan

Fiero - Parmesan and Red Pepper

Aromatico - Parmesan, Basil, and Oregano

Pungente - Parmesan and Garlic

These premium cheeses are impressive.  I fell in love with them all.  I love spicy food and my favorite is the Fiero.  This is the perfect blend of parmesan and red pepper.  It is full of flavor.  I love it on my spaghetti and meatballs, salads, or a sprinkle on garlic bread.  I typically put a little parmesan in my meatball mix and these cheeses are perfect for that too.  My husband's grandmother has an amazing egglplant parmesan recipe.  I plan on trying some of these varieties in the dish to add some extra flavor and richness.  How would you use Mama Francesca's Premium Cheese to enhance your meals?

I am very fond of the cosmetics from Mia Mariu.  I have used them previously and had great results.  Have you tried any of their products?  They offer botanical skincare and mineral makeup that is reasonably price, but great quality.  They offer products for your face, lips, and much more!  I recently found out that they offer fragrances too.  I instantly fell in love.

Melissa's Produce Citrus Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

It is officially citrus fruit season.  I absolutely love all citrus fruit.  I get excited when this time of year comes around.  I have fond memories of picking fresh citrus off of our trees as a child.  I want to introduce you to Melissa's Produce.  They offer wonderful quality produce.  They are located in the Los Angeles area, but you probably have seen a number of their products at your grocery store.  Their citrus fruit is truly impressive too!  

Meyer Lemons and Cocktail Grapefruit

Kumquats

Melissa's Produce sent me a beautiful selection of citrus fruit.  What is your favorite type of citrus fruit to enjoy?  I personally love Melissa's cocktail grapefruit.  This is not your average sour grapefruit either.  My son typically does not eat grapefruit, but I convinced him to try this.  It was super sweet and flavorful.  My son loved it too!  I also love the kumquats that Melissa's sent me.  This was something new for me to try, but they are absolutely delicious.  These are a tiny citrus fruit that is packed with flavor.  Melissa's Neopolitan Tangerines were the sweetest tangerines I have ever had.  Melissa's also offers Meyer lemons and key limes.  These are great to slice and add to a glass of water.  The Meyer lemons are super juicy.  My kids enjoy making fresh lemonade with them.  Melissa's Cara Cara oranges are a unique citrus fruit too.  These are one of my favorite varieties of oranges.  They have a pinish flesh and are very sweet too.  What variety of Melissa's citrus fruit would you want to try?

Cocktail Grapefruit

Neopolitan Tangerines

These are just some of the wonderful and super fresh produce items that Melissa's has to offer.  You can visit their website to learn more or to order too!  You can also connect with Melissa's Produce on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.
