Olde Westport Spice and Trading Co. Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

I absolutely love to cook, and try new dishes.  I love products that make cooking fun, but also easy.  Olde Westport Spice and Trading Co. offers a great selection of products that are perfect for any foodie.  They offer cookbooks.  These always make really nice gifts.  They offer salsa cookbooks, Cajun cookbooks, beef cookbooks, and so much more.  I really enjoyed browsing the great selection of cookbooks that they offer.

Olde Westport offers some great seasonings and spices.  I received some of these to try out.  Their mesquite seasoning is great if you love to grill.  This flavorful seasoning is great to sprinkle on meats or veggies before you put them on the grill.  This gave our food a smokey flavor, but it wasn't overpowering.  This would even be great to season a pork roast with.  You can get that smokey flavor, but still not have to cook it outdoors.  I like to cook things in the crockpot during the week, and I am definitely going to do this.  We really loved the Gold Coast Garlic Shake too.  This is a great all purpose seasoning.  It can be used to create a flavorful dip.  It can be used on meats and veggies too.  We really enjoyed it as a dip!

Olde Westport also offers a great selection of mixes to help you create quick and delicious meals.  They offer a Chicken Enchilada Soup mix.  This is so easy to use and it tastes great.  I like this for a quick weeknight meal.  You simply add chicken, cream of chicken soup, water, and the mix.  The soup is flavorful, and great on a cold day.  

Olde Westport offers some great chili seasoning mixes too.  Their Championship Chili Spice blend includes all the flavorings for that perfect bowl of red chili.  The mix is easy to prepare too.  you add meat, tomato sauce, water, and the spice mix.  This is another meal that is quick and delicious.  I love green chili, but haven't had luck making it until now.  Olde Westport also offers a Three Rivers Chili Verde mix!  This mix is combined with cream of chicken soup, corn, chicken, evaporated milk, canned green chili peppers, and the seasoning mix.  You add this to your sauce pan and simmer for only 15 minutes.  I might even do this in my crockpot, so it is ready when we get home in the evening.

Lily Nily - Great Valentine's Day Gift Idea!

My daughter just turned 8.  She loves jewelry.  I will be honest, and she is hard on her jewelry.  I think jewelry for children needs to be made with that in mind.  Lily Nily offers high quality jewelry for children.  It is fun, adorable, and made really well.  My daughter received a cupcake necklace awhile back from them to review.  It has held up so well.  We love it.  She still wears it all the time.

She recently received an adorable cat pendant from Lily Nily.  She fell in love with this pendant right away.  This is a pink cat pendant with a red heart.  The necklace is made out of 18K gold over brass.  The beautiful colors on the jewelry from Lily Nily are made out of enamel.  Lily Nily really keeps your child's safety in mind too.  Their jewelry adheres to standards for children.  It adheres to regulations for lead or cadmium in the jewelry.  This is very important to me.  

Lily Nily really offers a great selection of jewelry that would make a great gift for any little girl on Valentine's Day, or any special occasion.  They offer necklaces, pendants, earrings, watches, bracelets, bangles, and rings.  They offer fun styles like cupcakes, pandas, hearts, starts, sunglasses, cheerleaders, and so much more.

ISlide Sandals - Customize Your Slides Review

In another month or two it will be sandal season here in Vegas.  I honestly wear sandals and slip on shoes a big part of the year.  I love fun and cute sandals.  I want to introduce you to Islide.  They offer comfortable slide style sandals.  The best part is that you can customize these, and you get exactly what you want.  They offer a huge selection of designs.  This really is a fun idea.  The slides are super comfortable too.  That is also important to me.

I was impressed with how many design options ISlide has to offer.  They offer slides featuring sports team designs, basketball slides, USA pride slides, Summer slides, 90's designs, and so much more.  I decided I wanted their Spidey slides.  These are adorable, and fun.  Each slide has a great Spiderman design on the slide.  They are a great red color.  These are a pair of sandals that will have tons of people asking you where you got them.  They are comfortable.  The sole is soft and feels great on your feet.  The top has a velcro closure and that makes it easy to adjust them.  I think everyone in my house had to try these on.  My 9 year old wears the same size shoe as me, and I caught him walking around in them.  He kept asking me if he could keep them.  

Did you know that you can customize your slides with whatever you want written on them?  I had "Mommie of 2" put on the side of these.  You can add your Twitter handle, or whatever you want.
