Pur Gum: Cool Mint and Cinnamon Flavor

      I received my Pur Gum to try yesterday. I was very glad to receive this package, my family and I enjoy gum and trying new kinds. We got two different kinds to try: Cool Mint and Cinnamon. I am not a fan of anything that is cool mint, but do love cinnamon flavored gum.

      I gave my husband and son the cool mint to try. My son tried it first and said it had a good taste, he also said the taste didn't just disappear after a few minutes. My husband tried some a little later and said the same thing, that it had a good flavor and the flavor lasted a little while. He said he would buy it for sure to have at work with him. I tried the cinnamon after dinner and I sat down to relax for the evening. I tried it while watching a sitcom, it had great cinnamon taste. It did not burn my mouth like some cinnamon flavored gums and candies can do. I chewed the gum the whole time I was watching my TV show which was 30 minutes. It still had just about the same flavor at the end of the show as it did when I first started chewing it. I was very surprised, gum usually lasts no more than 10 or so minutes with flavor.  

      I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to try some flavorful gum to give the Pur Gum brand a try, if you come across it. We all enjoyed the flavor and how long it lasted. Another product that my family got to try and love. We would all buy this gum to have again.

Green Earth Frying Pan

      I received my 8" Green Earth Frying Pan by Ozeri a week ago. I was ready to try it out because I enjoyed using the 10" one so much. I used the 10" pan to make my family some pan bread. I have a really hard time finding a pan to cook it in. I decided to try to make some pan bread in the 8" as well just because it is such a good way to test a non stick pan.

      I made two batches of the batter for my pan bread, I was bringing some to my parents. Dinner was ready, and it was time to get started on the bread. I put a little bit of oil in the pan and started with my first piece of bread. I have to say I actually loved the 8" pan even better than the 10" to cook my pan bread in. It makes the pieces not as big around but thicker and cooked it perfectly. I love this brand from Ozeri. Absolutely great size for my pan bread. This is my new favorite pan from Ozeri to make my pan bread.

      Anyone looking for any size pan that Ozeri carries, I strongly recommend that you try it out. This is an awesome product. I was so thankful to have the first 10" pan to try out but the 8" pan was just great for my pan bread. If you're looking for new cookware I would suggest giving this a try.

      I received the John Paul Pet Grooming Pack the other day and could not wait to try it out on my dog. It had a waterless foam shampoo, oatmeal conditioning spray and a brush. I bathe my dog at least once a week but he always manages to get into something sticky or yucky. He is part Yorkie and has bristly fur and no matter what I have used to make it not so course, I couldn't find anything that worked. I was really ready to try this out.

      First I read the directions of both bottles. I then sprayed my dog with the shampoo first, following the directions. I then brushed him and let him run around for a few minutes, then picked him up not only did he smell clean again but he felt clean. I loved this product. I tried the conditioner next, by following the directions on the bottle. I brushed him and let him round around for a few minutes again so it would dry completely. I called him to me and I have to say I was really surprised at how soft he was. With his bristly hair I had tried some conditioner but nothing worked. It did not feel as course, was softer all over his body, but especially on the back where it was the roughest feeling. I was so happy to finally have found a product that made his fur not only clean but feel softer.

      I definitely recommend this product to anyone with animals. It worked great on my dog who has course/bristly fur. The shampoo and conditioner should definitely be given a try. A very big thumbs up for this product.

      I received my package of CrunchMaster not long ago. The package consisted of Grammy Crisps (cinnamon and sugar), Popped Edamame chips (sea salt), Cheezy Crisps (Cheddar), Multi Grain Crackers (sea salt), and Multi Seed Crackers (original). I was excited to have my family try these, we enjoy crackers/chips.
      My son didn't enjoy them so much, he said they didn't have much flavor. My husband and I disagreed though, we both enjoyed the flavor and crunch of each one. We could tell that they were made with good for you kind of ingredients, not your normal greasy/crumbly potato chip.             Much better than a normal cracker too, you could really taste the multi grains in them. The kind of cracker/chip you could eat without feeling super guilty about the fat/grease you were putting into your body. Out of all of the flavors we got I think our two favorite were the Grammy Crisps and the Cheezy Crisps. The Grammy Crisps had a wonderful cinnamon and sugar flavor, not overpoweringly but just right.       The Cheezy Crisps were very crunchy and had a good cheddar flavor.   We enjoyed all of them but those two were our personal favorites. 
      I would definitely recommend giving the CrunchMaster brand a try. They have great taste and tasted better for you than normal cracker/chips. I was very pleased with the brand and each individual box/bag. I suggest you give these a chance when possible.

      I got my package of SexyPop Popcorn a week or so ago. The flavors we received were: Lightly Salted, Black Pepper, Bangin' Chedder, Brazilian Coconut, and French Butter. They were also awesome enough to send me a Frisbee and small bag with the SexyPop logo on it. I was very excited to give these a try. I absolutely LOVE popcorn and this popcorn was supposed to be better for you than regular. I couldn't wait to try them out.  

      I can't say that I absolutely loved the flavor of them all but it was okay. The black pepper was pretty rough, I ate one handful and that was it. My husband didn't like any of them, saying that they had no flavor and just tasted like regular popcorn with no flavoring. I disagree somewhat, I thought you could taste the flavor but it wasn't very strong. Not a bad flavor at all just not strong enough for me. I think my favorite was the French Butter. It had a pretty good butter flavor.

      If you are looking for a good for you kind of snack I definitely recommend trying the SexyPop Popcorn. I enjoyed getting to try new flavors and the flavor was pretty good to me.

      I recently got my package of Eden Organic Pasta Company to try. I received two different types of pasta to try: Small vegetable shells and Kamut Ditalini. I was excited to try these out, I enjoy pasta.

      The two boxes they sent were kind of small so it really wasn't enough for the whole family to try. I cooked the small vegetable shells first and all I put on them was a little butter and some garlic powder. They tasted good and cooked well. Next, I cooked the kamut ditalini to try with some leftover spaghetti sauce. I thought it tasted pretty good. I would defiantly try them again. The flavors of the pasta was pretty much like any regular pasta, it cooked well, and I think would be good cooked with whatever you wanted.

      I would recommend to give the Eden Organic Pasta Company a try. The flavor is good and it cooks well. Doesn't get mushy or taste crunchy. I suggest any one looking to try some organic pasta to give them a try. I enjoyed it and think most people would too.

      I was so very excited to receive my box of salsa from Naked Infusions Salsa. The box contained: Signature Ripe Tomato, Mild and Medium, Black Silk Espresso, Medium, California Burnt Sage, Mild, Fire Roasted Garlic, Medium, Hot, and Oaxaca White Chocolate. I also received two cute shirts and an apron.  I LOVE salsa, I like to eat it on chips and I enjoy to cook with it too. I couldn't wait to try it out. I wasn't sure yet how I wanted to try it first with chips or to use it in a recipe. 
      I decided to try it out in a recipe first, I used the fire roasted garlic over some baked chicken. It was so delicious. My whole family loved the flavor of the salsa cooked on the chicken. I gave the jar of hot to a friend of mine to try because she loves hot/spicy foods. She said it was definitely hot, to her it was too hot to eat and because of the heat you couldn't taste anything else. Next I tried the Mild in some leftover rice to make like a Mexican rice. I added a little taco seasoning along with the salsa and let it cook on low for about 30 minutes. It was delicious, we really enjoyed it. I have to say by trying the Naked Infusions Salsa it has given me a new recipe for when I make Mexican food. I tried the Medium on some chips that I had and was not very fond of the flavor. It wasn't really hot or had much flavor. I was a little let down about that but we really enjoyed the flavor when cooking with the salsa. 

      I would definitely recommend anyone looking for salsa to give the Naked Infusions Salsa a try. I would definitely buy it for myself and family. If you are looking for a salsa you should give the Naked Infusions a try.
