There may be snow on the ground and frost on your windows , but down by the bayou it’s time to party! So break out your beads with this bright red box and warm up with a tasty trip to The Big Easy. Extravagant? Who dat?

Lemon Wafer Bites by Dolcetto
With a rich, creamy center wrapped inside a crispy wafer, these are sure to do a little voodoo to you know who.

I wasn’t sure if these were going to have too strong of a sour lemon taste but they were actually just right and I enjoyed them.

Traditional Hot Chocolate by Monbana
Created by French Master chocolatiers using 32% chocolate, one sip and you’ll float away to the French Quarter.

As of writing, the only thing I haven’t tried yet

Olive Oil Potato Chips by Boulder Canyon
Pure potato chip satisfaction with no cholesterol, trans fats or msg! Cooked in small batches in 100% olive oil, meet your new kettle cooked addiction.

Loved these! Tasty and no cholesterol, sign me up.

Baked Mac N’ Cheese Puffs by Snikiddy
Hush puppy… Corn and rice puffs doused with cheddar cheese and kissed with buttermilk make frying so old school.

I love Mac N Cheese and I wasn’t sure what to think of these at first – then I tried them. Love them!

Milk Chocolate Mini Pieces by Divine Chocolate
Produced by the only fairtrade chocolate company owned by cocoa farmers, this is big, but it ain’t easy! There’s more than meets the eye with this delight.

I’ve never met a chocolate piece I didn’t like. 😉

Original Creole Seasoning by Tony Chachere’s
From crawdads to gumbo, this msg-free Creole seasoning turns every mouthful into a party for your palate.

Protein+ Almond Honey Bar by Rise Bar
Only 3 ingredients? That’s nuts! No really, it’s almonds, honey and whey protein isolate. Talk about our kind of bar scene.

I really like almonds and honey so it was no surprise that I liked this bar.

Toffee Crunch Trufflecremes by Dilettante
Laissez les bons temps rouler! A combination of butter toffee with almonds enrobed in fine milk chocolate, who wouldn’t roll with these?

As I said before – I never met a piece of chocolate I didn’t like.

 

 

Book Review: Abigail and the Tropical Island Adventure

abigailAbigail and the Tropical Island Adventure is a book about Abigail, a girl who is at home on a rainy day.  She remembers that she has a magic bicycle and uses it to go to an archipelago.  There she meets Lelei, learns about pearls and starfish and helps them have a party. When Abigail returns home – in her hula dress – her mom thinks that she has quite the imagination.  But if this was all in her imagination – how did she end up back at home in her dress?

I thought this was an adorable book and a great way to teach your kids.  I was surprised to see a word like “archipelago” included in the text – but teaching your child what it means could be a great learning experience.  The book had lots of vibrant photos and was a lot of fun to read.

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review. I was not otherwise compensated.
