Seeds of Change Microwave Rice Review

Rice is a staple in my kitchen. I have a rice cooker and it gets a lot of use. The trouble with the rice cooker is the time it takes. I have to allow enough time for the rice to be cooked for the meal. When I heard about Seeds of Change Microwave Rice I knew it was something worth trying.

Seeds of Change started in 1989 as an organic seed company for gardeners and farmers. They have since branched into producing organic foods. Thanks to Seeds of Change I was able to try three of their Microwave Rice products.

I really liked the ease of preparation of these rices. The entire pouch of rice goes in the microwave for 90 seconds and it is done. The rices come in 6 premium organic flavors. I tried the Tapovan White Basmati Rice, the Dharamsala Aromatic Indian Rice Blend and the Uyuni Quinoa & Whole Grain Brown Rice. The Tapovan White Basmati Rice is a plain rice mix perfect for a side dish or complimented with added sauces. It has a clean sweet flavor and a good bite to the texture. This rice would be very versatile in meals. The Uyuni Quinoa & Whole Grain Brown Rice was my favorite. I found this rice very well seasoned and earthy much like a wild rice. I enjoyed the Quinoa grain in this mix. I would buy this flavor in the future. The Dharamsala Aromatic Indian Rice Blend was very exotic in flavor. I enjoyed the texture of this mix but I was not fond of the spices. If you like Indian food you will enjoy this rice blend. The spices are a melange of Indian spices known as Bisibelebath. Okay... something new for me to learn about. The Mung beans and lentils added to this rice dish created an interesting flavor combination.

Seeds of Change makes many organic food products from Rice to frozen entrees and chocolates. They can be found at Whole Foods Markets and other health food grocers in many locations. Find Seeds of Change in your area and try something organic and tasty today.

Many thanks to Seeds Of Change for providing the samples for this review.

National Strawberry Cream Pie Day

Today is National Strawberry Cream Pie Day. What a great idea to extend the sweet summer flavor of strawberries. I found a few recipes for Strawberry Cream Pie on CdKitchen. It seems most Strawberry Cream Pies are made with cream cheese. Sweet Strawberry Cream Pie also uses sweetenend condensed milk for extra creaminess. Here is one for adults only Spiked Strawberry-Lime Ice Cream Pie. It is made with orange liquer and tequila in a limeade strawberry ice cream base. Yum. For something sweet strawberry but not a pie, I found Wild Strawberry Cuppies on Conversations with a Cupcake. She makes a fresh strawberry cake batter with fresh strawberry buttercream frosting. Sounds very scrumptious! I will have to try this recipe. Enjoy your day!

Cook's Country Cookbook Review

I enjoy browsing through the many food magazines I subscribe to. One of my most recent additions to my selection is Cook's Country. I have been purchasing this magazine and finally decided to subscribe. The format of Cook's Country magazine is easy to read. It is a larger size copy with stunning pictures of many of the recipes. There is food information and stories but the best part is the recipes. Included in the recipes are step by step instructions or test kitchen tecniques for the best results. The back cover of the magazine features the index for the recipes in the issue. In my latest issue there is a recipe for Blackberry Roly Poly dessert that I plan on making. It looks so delicious. Cook's Country magazine has been in circulation since 2004. I don't know how I missed this little gem. The result of years of great recipes has produced a wonderful cookbook The Cook's Country Cookbook. There are 500 recipes in this cookbook. The recipes span more than a century.


After more than a year of test kitchen work, we are pleased to offer this handpicked collection of 500 remarkable recipes, including the very best from the first 4 years of Cook’s Country magazine and the new Cook’s Country public television series. And because we extensively test every featured recipe, you can trust EVERY recipe to deliver as promised, from family favorites like creamy Best Potluck Macaroni and Cheese, juicy All-American Meatloaf, and rich Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies, to interesting and regional recipes like Chocolate Blackout Cake, Texas Sheet Cake and Skillet Lasagna.

Thanks to America's Test Kitchen I was able to review this beautiful cookbook. There are 17 chapters including Starters, Soups, Lunch Counter Specials, Slow Cooker favorites, Blue Ribbon Cakes and much more. One of the features I appreciate in this cookbook is the index of each recipe at the beginning of each chapter. This comes in handy when looking for just the right recipe. On the pages you also come across cooking tips with photos to help. The stories about the recipes are enjoyable to read. A lot of work went into this fabulous collection. It does contain photos of great quality in sections of the book. One of my most bookmarked sections (lots of sticky notes) is the Lunch Counter Specials. I grew up in a diner restaurant that my grandfather owned. A lot of the recipes in this section remind me of his diner. For anyone longing for classic recipes, old favorites and new recipes to try, The Cook's Country Cookbook is a must for your kitchen.

You can purchase The Cook's Country Cookbook from Cook's Illustrated or it is available on Amazon.com at a very good price. It would make a great gift for the cook in your family. Be sure to include sticky notes to mark all the recipes they want to try.

King Arthur Flour White Whole Wheat Flour Review

In a previous post about King Arthur Flour, I mentioned this is one of my favorite sites. I was able to sample the Key Lime Cheesecake Bars Mix and they are delicious. Thanks to the great people of King Arthur Flour I was also sent a bag of their White Whole Wheat Flour to try.

King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour has all the fiber and nutrition of traditional whole wheat, with a milder flavor and lighter color. A tasty way to add whole grains to your diet.

Because of its lighter flavor and texture, you can substitute the White Whole Wheat Flour for the all-purpose flour in your baked goods. On the King Arthur Flour website there are many recipes to make with the White Whole Wheat Flour. I decided to try a recipe I have always wanted to make - Biscotti. I found a simple recipe on Nancys Kitchen for Coconut Biscotti. I used the White Whole Wheat flour for all the flour required in the recipe. They turned out fantastic! I never realized Biscotti was so easy to make. The flavor was delicious and not grainy like some whole wheat flours can be. I like knowing it has the added fiber and grains. I will be searching for more recipes to make with the White Whole Wheat Flour.

If you have not tried King Arthur Flours I highly recommend them. The website is filled with baking information and wonderful products. I even found the flour for sale at my local Albertsons grocery. Check with your local grocer or purchase directly from the King Arthur Flour shop. For all your holiday baking needs, try King Arthur Flour. Your baked goods will be the best ever!

Decisions, Decisions!

This past summer my husband and I were doing some sprucing up of our home. We have been painting the rooms and rearranging furniture. It was our version of vacation this year. When all the painting and cleaning was finished, we looked at the furniture and said Ugh! So I have been in the hunt for new living room furniture and accessories. While looking for modern furniture I found AllModern.com. There are so many items to choose from for every room in the house. It is easy to browse the selections. I like the feature of letting me know how many are in stock for each item. You can shop by room, product or designer to find the perfect item. Take your time browsing, there is a lot to look at. I even want to change some of the light fixtures and have been considering new wall sconces. I think I have chosen a few products I want (new sofa, lights, pillows, wall art, new desk chair and a new bed for the dog). Honey... come back with that credit card!

Amella - Artisan Cocoa Butter Caramels Review

Caramels, the sweet buttery golden candy has been taken to an entirely new level. Amella Artisan Cocoa Butter Caramels are pure artistry in a decadent morsel.
Amellas are an all-natural buttery caramel made using pure cocoa butter, real fruits, nuts, and vegetables all hand dipped in the finest chocolate.

The flavors of Amella caramels are mouthwatering.

Passion Fruit is made with real passion fruit, cocoa butter, Tahitian vanilla with buttery caramel, then hand dipped in the finest milk chocolate.

Black Forest is made with real Amarelle cherries, 70% dark chocolate, Tahitian vanilla with buttery caramel, then hand dipped in fine white chocolate, topped with dark chocolate sprinkles.

Carrot Cake is made with fresh carrots, roasted pecans, and cocoa butter with creamy caramel, then hand dipped in the finest white chocolate.

Thanks to Amella I was able to sample each flavor of these beautiful caramel creations. The flavors of each of these unique caramels is almost beyond description. The Black Forest is enticing to the eye. The caramel is soft to chew with an explosion of cherry chocolate flavor. The creamy white chocolate topping adds to the smoothness of the cherry taste. Pure Cherry Bliss. The Passion Fruit - wow. Wow! I saw stars when I tasted these. It is so fruity, buttery, creamy all I can say is wow! You really have to taste these to truly appreciate the flavor. Carrot Cake tastes just like a rich delicious slice of carrot cake. Very pleasing. It is creamy, with pecans and loaded with carrot flavor. The white chocolate topping mimics the cake frosting. Scrumptious.


Amella Artisan Cocoa Butter Caramels are available for purchase directly from AmellaCaramels.com. When you order you get 3 - 1.25 oz boxes each containing 3 caramels in the box for $15.00. They also have a variety assortment so you can taste each flavor. Very reasonable price for such a high quality incredibly delicious caramel.

Order some for yourself. You will enjoy them.

National Peanut Day

Today is National Peanut Day. I searched out more information about peanuts and came across the National Peanut Board. There is so much information on this website. News, recipes and a store to purchase peanut items. There is a kids section, Buddy McNutty, with games and cool things for kids. I was browsing the recipes and found a few I would love to try. Curried Pumpkin Peanut Soup caught my eye for fall. Roast Pork Loin with Sweet Potatoes and Peanuts for a main dish. For dessert - it was hard to choose but I would like Soft Ginger Peanut Cookies, Yum. Share a peanut with an elephant today because the squirrels don't share! Enjoy the day.

Hershey's Extra Dark Review

Chocolate? You want me to review chocolate? Oh I guess. Are you kidding me? Chocolate is my middle name. Hershey's Extra Dark is pure dark chocolate with 60% cocoa. Cocoa is an all natural source of flavanol anti-oxidants. I always new chocolate was good for you. Hershey's Extra Dark is now approved as a Best Life Treat for the Best Life Diet by Bob Greene. Hershey's Extra Dark Chocolate's naturally occurring antioxidants and proven vascular health benefits helped the product to earn this distinction.

How does it taste? I am doing the happy chocolate dance here. I was able to sample Hershey's Extra Dark in 3 different flavors. Pure Dark Chocolate is rich, dark and creamy with a long lasting chocolate flavor that lingers. The Pure Dark Chocolate with Pomegranate flavored pieces is the same delicious dark chocolate with little bits of fruity nuggets. I found this chocolate very berry-like in flavor. I am fond of raspberry with dark chocolate and this tastes very similar. Fruity deliciousness! The Pure Dark Chocolate with Cranberries, Blueberries and Almond pieces is delightful. These were delicate in blueberry flavor with the tartness of cranberries and the crunch of the almonds. This is truly a treat. I am still doing the happy chocolate dance. The key to making this a healthy treat is moderation (although I could eat the whole bag). Just knowing I can actually have a piece of chocolate, every once in a while, that is good for me makes it a chocoholics dream.

If you enjoy dark chocolate try Hershey's Extra Dark. It can be purchased at many retailers and grocery stores nationwide. Join me in the happy chocolate dance.

Samples for this review were generously provided by Hershey's.

Remember the families today.

My thoughts and well wishes to the families today.

Where were you?

I was in Oklahoma just getting to work. My boss was watching the TV and I had no idea what was going on. I came to see the images on the screen. I grew up back east and had visited the Towers when I was little. My family moved to California but still has family in the New York Area. I quickly called my mom in California and she was already crying. My grandmother lived across the Hudson with a view of the New York Skyline. She had passed away before the incident and my mom was glad she did not have to see it. It would have devastated her. She always loved New York. I sat in silent shock all day watching the events unfold. The first hit I thought could have been an awful airplane accident but the second hit proved otherwise. My heart sank. We had no business that day and my boss closed up so we could go home to be with our families, hug each other and cry.

Lost in a Moment - Ride on a Sushi Belt

This is a very interesting video. I watched it a few months ago and still enjoy seeing it to this day. Two videographers decided to place a camera on a Sushi belt in a restaurant. I find it very artsy and soothing. See if you can pick out the two creators. It runs just short of 5 minutes. Enjoy!

Thomas & Wilson's Gourmet Popcorn Review

Caramel popcorn always reminds me of fall. It is delicious year round but I remember enjoying it the most around Halloween. I recently tried a scrumptious caramel popcorn from Thomas & Wilson's Gourmet Popcorn. Thomas and Wilson's Popcorn is made fresh, in small batches, just-in-time for your order. Made with the best ingredients.

I find the prices at Thomas & Wilson's Gourmet popcorn are very reasonable for a high quality caramel corn. They also offer Cheese popcorn and Caramel Nut popcorn. Starting at 1 lb. for $1.70 up to 2 lbs. for $29.00 with sizes inbetween. They also offer catering party specials with a variety of popcorn flavors. That is a great idea! Thanks to Thomas & Wilson's I was able to sample the caramel popcorn. It is very delicious. It has a buttery caramel flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. It was crunchy and not stuck together. I was very pleased with the caramel popcorn.

Visit Thomas & Wilson's website today and order for yourself. I think the party specials would make awesome football party food. Make sure you order enough for those hungry football fans.

Mia Mallows Marshmallows Review

Mmmmmm. Fresh gourmet marshmallows. There is a lovely store on Etsy I found, Mia Mallows. Mia Mallows Gourmet Marshmallows are a confectionery delight adding unique elegance to any occasion.

The flavors of Mia Mallows are incredible. Available Flavors:
Banana, Bavarian Cream, Blueberry, Caramel, Cherry, Chocolate, Coconut, Coffee, Cotton Candy, Dulce De Leche, Eggnog, Lemon, Lime, Orange, Mango, Peach, Peanut Butter, Pina Colada, Pineapple, Pomegranate, Praline w/chopped pecans, Raspberry, Saltwater Taffy, Strawberry, Vanilla.

All of Mia Mallows marshmallows are handmade in a commercial kitchen. They are hand packaged. They use all-natural ingredients and organic, all-natural flavors. There are absolutely no preservatives in the marshmallows. All orders are prepared fresh upon receiving your order.

I received a flavor assortment from Mia Mallows to sample for this review. My first impression is they are beautiful. The colors of the marshmallows are so vivid and bright. They are good size EXTRA LARGE 1 1/2 inch Cubes of marshmallow goodness. My favorite color is the blueberry. These are truly pretty.

The flavor is incredibly delicious. The texture of a fresh marshmallow is softer and lighter than a commercially made marshmallow. Mia Mallows melt in your mouth. She makes so many yummy flavors. My assortment included lime, banana, lemon, chocolate, blueberry, orange, coffee, strawberry and Dulce De Leche. These are so good. I tried the strawberry first and it was a good choice. The strawberry flavor was intense and delightful to eat. The color was a stunning pink. Very appealing. Next I tried the coffee, it was like a cup of coffee. Rich and delightful. I loved the banana. What a tropical treat. Full of banana flavor. My favorite of all the flavors I tasted is the Dulce de Leche. It was creamy, with a rich caramel flavor. It was wonderful eaten by itself but I could picture these beauties melting in a rich hot chocolate for a caramel treat. All of Mia Mallows are fantastic. The big thick pieces of marshmallow are just right. The colors are so pretty they would make fun eats for bridal showers or baby showers. You could match color themes.

Mia Mallows can be purchased from her Etsy shop. The prices are reasonable with 6 marshmallows selling for $5.00. She also offers a sampler package if you can't decide on which delicious flavor to try first. Order some today. Once you taste a freshly made Mia Mallows gourmet marshmallow you will want another and another and maybe one more.....

Many thanks to Mimi of Mia Mallows for providing the samples for this review.

Singing Dog Vanilla and Red Ape Cinnamon Review

The holidays are coming fast. It is the season of the year I do most of my baking. This year I have 2 new wonderful ingredients to use. From Kestrel Growth Brands I was introduced to Singing Dog Vanilla and Red Ape Cinnamon. These top quality gourmet products are used by restaurants, bakeries and culinary schools around the world. Now the same high quality ingredients are available to the home gourmet. Singing Dog Vanilla beans are grown using traditional, organic methods. A portion of all Kestrel Growth revenue is returned to their partner farmers to support their organic growing methods. Thanks to Kestrel Growth Brands, I was able to sample Singing Dog Vanilla Bean Paste and Red Ape Ground Cinnamon.

What is vanilla bean paste? It is a vanilla extract with vanilla beans in it. It is a thicker syrup more than a paste. You can see the flecks of vanilla bean in the paste. Use vanilla bean paste in place of vanilla extract in something you want to feature the specks of vanilla bean. I used my Singing Dog Vanilla Bean Paste and Red Ape Cinnamon to make a rice pudding. It was easy to measure the Vanilla Bean paste and mix into the ingredients. It looks rich with all the bean flecks. The flavor seemed more intense than vanilla extract so I did adjust the amount using slightly less than I would extract. I loved seeing the bean specks in the rice pudding. I then made an apple topping again with both the Vanilla bean Paste and the Red Ape Cinnamon. Both turned out scrumptious.

The Red Ape Cinnamon is pure ground organic cassia cinnamon from Sumatra. It is fragrant, sweet and robust. It was not too strong or bitter as some cinnamons can be. The Red Ape correlation: 5% of all profits are donated to organizations the protect orangutan habitat. This is excellent cinnamon. It was not overpowering, it was more enhancing in my baking. It brought a delicate cinnamon flavor to my pudding and apple topping. Combined with the Vanilla Bean Paste, the Red Ape Cinnamon are my go to spices this holiday baking season.

Look for Singing Dog Vanilla and Red Ape Cinnamon in local retail locations or you may purchase them directly online.

Try Singing Dog Vanilla and Red Ape Cinnamon for all your baking. Please Help! I am looking for a recipe for a Vanilla Cinnamon Crumb or Coffee Cake to make with my spices. If you have a recipe please contact me. I would love to try it.

Simply Salads Cookbook Review

It has been very hot in my area for the last couple of weeks. Too hot to cook. We have been making a lot of salads to beat the heat. I recently received a wonderful cookbook: Simply Salads by Jennifer Chandler. This book is a delight. There are more than 100 delicious recipes. These are simple to make recipes using prepackaged greens and a few easy to find ingredients.

Jennifer Chandler has a lovely website called Cook With Jennifer. Jennifer has been in the food industry for the past 15 years. She has been a chef, market and restaurant owner and is currently a food writer. Simply Salads is her first cookbook.

I enjoyed browsing through the book while trying to decide on which salad creation to make. There is a photo for every recipe. Tantalizing delicious looking photos. The book is categorized by ingredient type. Greens, poultry, meat, seafood, fruit, etc. With each salad recipe is the suggested dressing. Many of the dressing recipes are on the same page as the salad. Great idea! It makes it convenient to make the salad and dressing without having to turn pages. There are so many wonderful salad ideas in this cookbook. Here is a sampling of the book recipes from Cook with Jennifer: Margarita Chicken Salad and Confetti Chip Salad. Looks delicious.

I chose 2 different salads to make. First I decided to try a slaw. I made Honey-Lime Corn Slaw. The ingredients included fresh ears of corn, packaged Cole slaw mix, red bell pepper, scallions and cilantro. Simple. What made it spectacular was the dressing. Honey-Lime vinaigrette. Yes it is as good as it sounds. Fresh lime juice, honey, extra-virgin olive oil with salt and pepper to taste. Easy to make. The flavor of the slaw is incredible. This will be a family favorite recipe. I was explaining how good it turned out to my mother and she has already requested I make it for our next family get together.

Next I made the Curried Rice and Chickpea Salad. This salad is a perfect side dish salad. Again simple ingredients, brown rice, chickpeas (garbanzos), shredded lettuce, red bell pepper and slivered toasted almonds. The dressing is fantastic. Orange juice, white wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and curry powder. Lots of flavor to this salad. I would serve this as an accompaniment to a meal.

You can purchase Simply Salads at Amazon.com or check with your local bookstore.

Simply Salads is a joy to look through. You can now create stunning gourmet salads to replace the plain boring green salads. You will never look at lettuce the same again.

Many thanks to Jennifer for providing my review copy.

Virgil's and Reed's Beverages Review

It is Labor Day weekend. Are you planning a big cookout? How about trying a new beverage this holiday. Virgil's Soda and Reed's Ginger Brews. Virgil's Root Beer is famous. It is a Root Beer lovers favorite drink.

Made Naturally for the Root Beer, Cream Soda, BLACK CHERRY CREAM SODA, AND REAL COLA Connoisseur, Virgil’s is one man’s passion to create the finest soft drinks ever produced. After retiring from a very successful career in the beverage industry, Ed Crowley set out to research what it would take to make the finest soft drink ever. As a result of his research Ed developed the recipe for Virgil’s Root Beer. Recipe in hand, his search for the finest ingredients took him around the world. The results are an award winning soft drink made naturally without caffeine or preservatives.

Who is REED'S, Inc.?
REEDS, Inc. is making extraordinary beverages and confections using very old-fashioned, natural methods and wholesome, fresh ingredients.

Reed’s brews six carbonated ginger combinations using only the finest ingredients. The six flavors are: Original Ginger, Extra Ginger, Premium Ginger, Raspberry Ginger, Cherry Ginger and Spiced Apple.

I had no idea there were so many flavors of Virgil's and Reed's drinks. I had the opportunity to sample an assortment of fine sodas and ginger brews sent to me. I had to share the cute message on the box I received.
The message is hand printed on the side of the box. It made me realize I was about to try something really special. Virgil's offers cream sodas, root beer and colas. I first tried the new product Orange Cream Soda. It was good. I liked the orange creamy taste. My favorite flavor is the Virgil's Black Cherry Cream Soda. This is fantastic. Full of cherry flavor with the finish of a great cream soda. It is made with black cherry juice and real vanilla beans. The cola is also delicious. Not to sweet and clean tasting. Of course the Root Beer is outstanding. It is an award winning root beer and you can tell. It is that good.

I have never tried Reed's before so I was excited to sample ginger brew. The first one I tried is the Apple Ginger Brew. It tasted like a cinnamon spiced apple cider. I found it very refreshing. I next tried the Raspberry Ginger Brew. This was a fruity flavor with the kick of ginger. All of the flavors of Reed's and Virgil's are fantastic. I mentioned just a few of my favorites. Reed's Ginger Brew comes in 6 different flavors and Virgil's comes in 5 flavors both regular and diet.

You can find Virgil's and Reed's at many locations nationwide. You can also purchase it online. So try something new this holiday weekend. Find Virgil's or Reed's and experience a new beverage sensation. Have a fantastic weekend.

National Blueberry Popsicle Day

Blueberries are very good for you. Today is National Blueberry Popsicle Day. Sounds like a delicious way to beat this heat. I found a few recipes to make blueberry popsicles. Kitchen Witch Steph has a recipe on recipezaar for a popsicle made with fresh blueberries, milk and yogurt. Sounds cool and creamy. The Thrifty Gourmet has a Peach Blueberry Yogurt popsicle using fresh peaches with the fresh blueberries. Scrumptious. For a more adult popsicle recipe, Food & Wine is featuring a Blueberry Peach Tequila Popsicle. Oh my. Made with fresh peaches, blueberries and tequila. Not for the kids. These recipes take advantage of the delicious fresh blueberries in season. Make a frozen treat and enjoy the day!

Surf Sweets Review

Gummy candy is very popular these days. From gummy bears to gummy worms in sweet or sour flavors, you can find all types of gummy candy. Here is a candy you can feel good about. Surf Sweets are candies made with Organic fruit juice and sweeteners. They are made from natural colors and flavors. They are also made without corn syrup which is a big topic of food conversation lately. Surf Sweets provides 100% of daily Vitamin C. A big plus for my family is they are also peanut free and produced in a facility free of: wheat, dairy, soy, eggs, tree nuts, nuts, fish, and shellfish. For those families dealing with food allergies this is a real find.

I was able to sample some of Surf Sweets popular candies. Gummy Bears are full of flavor with the traditional chewy texture. The lemon flavor really stands out. Super delicious. Next I tried the Sour Berry Bears. I enjoyed these a lot. They are not so sour that you pucker your face but are pleasantly sour for a zing of flavor. These would be okay for the kids. My favorite product is the Gummy Swirls! These little candies are more like gum-drops. What makes them unique is they contain 100% of daily calcium along with the 100% daily vitamin C. I love the fruity flavors and found the texture of the Gummy Swirls not too gummy. Very enjoyable.

Surf Sweets can be found nationwide at retailers including Whole Foods, grocery stores and at select Toys R Us locations, or at several online retailers. Try some Surf Sweets today for a delicious, better for you, sweet treat.

Many thanks to Surf Sweets for providing samples for this review.
