Country Bob's Sauce Review/Giveaway


I had the opportunity to test Country Bob's All Purpose sauce. Country Bob's sauce has so many uses...as a dip, as a condiment, in dishes for added flavor...I enjoyed my Country Bob's sauce! The texture was just right...not too think and not to runny! I tried it with hamburger (not my thing so I wasn't too him on that) and on fries (which was pretty tasty!) It's hard to describe the flavor...you can definitely taste the tamarind which has a slight kick with hints of sweetness. Now, in all honesty, my family was not huge on the Country Bob's sauce, but we grew up with a different brand that has a very distinct taste that we are used to. My little sister found the sauce a little too spicy and for that reason I didn't give any to my son. I see the sauce having tons of potential though! I look forward to trying it in more recipes in the near future...baked beans, with grilled  chicken...
One of my favorite things about Country Bob's sauce was the bottle! I totally expected the bottle to be glass but was pleasantly surprised when I found out it was plastic! My son enjoyed playing with the bottles. He totally wanted to try some haha. My absolute favorite thing, however, is their slogan "Christ is our CEO." I love supporting Christian businesses and I love that they give credit to Christ for their company's success!
Next time you see Country Bob's sauce, grab a bottle to try for yourself! Even though my family wasn't in love with it, I know a lot who are! Everyone has different tastes! If you try this and have a recipe you just love with Country Bob's sauce, please feel free to share below!

(And Video!!) Purex Cookie Scented Detergent Review




I recently had the opportunity to sample the new Purex Cookie Scented detergent and I LOVED it! As with all Purex products, it cleans very well and leaves whites whiter and gets out those tough stains! I was doubtful at first, but after I tried this new product I knew what I'd be buying from now on! This scent is good enough to eat (which you will see in the video that my husband tried to...haha. I do not recommend that by the way.) I'm allergic to so many detergents because of the added scents so I usually need to use the free and clear versions, but the Purex Cookie Scented detergent did not bother my allergies at all! Now our clothes will smell AMAZING! I love the smell of fresh baked cookies and this has it! I found myself sticking my towels in the oven at a very low temp for a few minutes to heat them up and spread the aroma of fresh baked cookies around the house. If you ever need to show your house or have guests over while you're doing laundry, I totally recommend using this scent! The ONLY downside to using this product is that you will end up craving cookies and if you're like me you will find yourself needing to bake cookies every time you wash your clothes! I think I've put on a couple pounds since I've started using this, but I am so glad I found this detergent! Each bottle washes up to 66 loads and works for all machines and is high efficiency which is great! Next time you see this in the store, give it a try for yourself and you will love it too.

Peeled Snacks Review/Giveaway

Peeled Snacks is a company that sells dried fruit snacks. They make sure that their products are the best possible quality, are organic, are healthy for you, and have no added sugars! These snacks come in many different flavors like apple, pineapple and cherry to name a few! I recently had the opportunity to sample these snacks for myself and I have to say, I LOVE them! They are very fresh and I can feel great when I am eating them, knowing that I am putting something good-for-me in my body and they taste great! I also shared these with my son who is a year old and he loved them too! I was shocked, as he can be a pretty picky eater at times. He scarfed down the Banan-a-peel snacks so fast which was great because I had had a difficult time getting him to eat his fruits or veggies at supper! And the best part? He thought it was dessert! I also had my little sister try them too and she LOVED them as well! She told me that her favorite was the Cherry-go-round kind. My personal favorites were the Apricot-a-lot and Apple-2-the-core selections. I also tried pine-4-Pineapple which was just as amazing and much-ado-about-Mango which was honestly not my favorite, but mango is more of an acquired taste. I could eat these all day long! As for the texture, they are chewy so they taste more like fruit snacks and are fun for kids to eat! The single-serve containers are great for on-the-go or in kids' lunches. There are so many amazing varieties, I can't make up my mind which I want to eat right now! I am so happy that I found a snack that my son and I both love that is both healthy and high-quality! Go check out the Peeled Snacks website and visit them on Facebook and Twitter! Peeled Snacks are also available at your local Starbucks Coffee in both the U.S. and Canada so make sure you stop there and try one for yourself!
P.S. I guess I'm having the Banan-a-peel right now because my son just grabbed the pack, brought it to me and signed "please" haha.
