Love with Food December

The last of the Love with Food box posts. I was not happy that they changed prices on me after I locked in for a year and no refunds were offered and the quality of the items in the boxes were becoming less and less items that I actually would want to try… so I am moving on.  Try it Tuesday will never be the same. It got me thinking if I should switch to something else. Let’s say sausage, for example. Our local producer has a wide choice and uses the best ingredients including casing from dcwcasing.com/. It is definitely worth trying.

Bunch o’ Berries Fruit Snacks

by Horizon Organic

Big fruity flavor comes in small packages. Don’t be surprised if the kids are craving these any time of day.

Can’t go wrong with fruit snacks and this was no exception!

This deliciously dark chocolate doesn’t mess around. 80% cocoa, organic and more than a little addictive.

LOTS of dark chocolate in this box and it all went to Mom!

After tasting these deliciously crispy bites, you’ll swear there must be some magic hidden in those five ingredients.

These were pretty good!

More for Mom… she enjoyed.

This meat stick was nothing to write home about.  Decent.

A flavor combination that the holidays just wouldn’t be the same without. But with no GMOs, there’s practically no guilt.

Also gave this to Mom. She liked it.

Love with Food November

My year with Love With Food is slowly coming to an end.  This is November’s box.  December will be the last one though I’m not sure when that review will be posted as I shuffled posts and these got pushed back because I am so slow at trying the snacks!

 

Cinnabon Popcorn

by Wise

Never be without the heavenly taste of cinnamon rolls again with this on-the-go poppable snack with all the sugary and comforting goodness you know and love.

I was hoping for more cinnamon taste on this popcorn, but it wasn’t bad.  Popcorn and Cinnabon are a few of my favorite things 🙂

Pretzel Crisps

by Snack Factory

Classic pretzel taste made into the perfect vehicle for any dip or spread. All it needs is a little imagination.

I’ve had these before and absolutely love them.  I’m tempted to buy a large bag of them, but also worried I may eat them all in one sitting.

Chocolate Bar

by AWAKE Chocolate

Like you needed another excuse to nom on some chocolate – but this is a great one. This bar has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee, so say goodbye to the afternoon slump!

I didn’t feel much more AWAKE after eating this, but it was good.

These are no ordinary fruit snacks: these are organic, acai and superfruit-boosted, perfect-for-any-age treats.

I’ve yet to try these, even though I am all about peanut butter! I’m sure I’ll like them.

Peanuts Power Pack

by Hubs

The perfect protein-packed power-up snack, with a touch of salt. Peanuts just got turned up.

Great protein pick me up, though a bit salty.

Chocolate Banana Bar

by Nutryttiva

12 Units of Chocolate Banana Bar by Nutryttiva

Don’t believe a bar made with just seven ingredients could be such an explosion of banana flavor? You will.

Mom tried this one and was not a fan.  I’m not sure what it is about us and anything in these boxes containing banana. *shrug*

Chocolate Ginger Chews

by GoOrganic

Rich and chocolate-y with a touch of spice, not to mention zero GMOs and 100% organic ingredients. No reason to feel guilty about splurging on a few of these.

These were great, just enough spice since I don’t really like spice that much and very tasty!

Love With Food : October

20161013_175209

Mom tried these as well but preferred the others.

By Dick + Jane Baking Company
Snacktime and learning all at once. What more could you want from a nut-free whole grain cracker?

I love all of these educational crackers that have come in my boxes. Taste great and you can learn too.

Almond Roca Buttercrunch Toffee
By Brown & Haley
While it’s hard to go wrong with chocolate candy, chocolate combine with almonds and toffee is about as right as candy could possibly be

This was very tasty.

Apple Caramel
By Annie B’s
This rich and buttery treat is the definition of indulgence. Is there any flavor combination more classic than caramel and apple, really?

Ooey, Gooey and delicious!

Original Chai Tea Latte Mix
By Oregon Chai
A warm blanket, Netflix and a cup of this soothing tea. Sounds like a perfect fall afternoon? We think so too.

Still waiting for the perfect afternoon for this but I am looking forward to trying it!

Fruity and sweet, this Mediterranean treat is perfect to pair with cheese – although it’s really delicious with anything

Mom tried this. She loves fig.

As much caffeine as a half a cup of coffee and zero artificial colors. Go ahead, give yourself a little boost

This was good, but I didn’t feel any sort of boost from it.

Love with Food September

 

20160913_183018

We never stop learning, no matter how old we are – whether it’s learning a new language, learning more about another culture, or just learning a new skill. But let’s face it, learning can be a hungry business! This month’s box is packed full of snacks that are perfect for enjoying while broadening your horizons. So go ahead – share your knowledge and share your snacks!

Organic Fruit Candies by GoOrganic
So good it’s hard to imagine they’re completely organic. Get ready to believe in miracles.

These were really good hard candies!

These are not your mama’s crackers. Real ingredients, real energy, and really delish.

Not a fan of cheese crackers, I prefer peanut butter, but these weren’t terrible.

These were pretty good.

Bunches of Crunches Dark Chocolate Sea Salt with Chia by Bakery on Main
Granola meets dessert in these poppable, crunchable, irresitible snack.

Really liked this granola. A great mid day pick me up snack.

Caramel Apple Crisp Premium Puffed Corn by Cosmos Creations
Don’t think puffed corn could be so reminiscent of a classic comfort food dessert? Wrong.

These were probably the best in the box.

Organic Gummy Cherries by Black Forest Organic
The classic taste of cherries, made 1000% better as a gummy. Whoever said candy is just for kids never tried these.

These were really good but the suggested servings in the bag was 2.5.  That… didn’t happen.

Strawberry Raspberry & Walnut Bites by Orchard Bar
What could be easier than a snack bar? A snack bar that’s bite-sized! Not to mention gluten-free, 60% organic and non-GMO with NO artificial anything.

This was very very heavy on the raspberry so a bit on the sour side and I have little to no tolerance for that, but I enjoyed it.

*Also included was beef jerky which I can’t seem to find on the Love With Food site for details and I ate it first thing. It was a little bland compared to the slim jims I am used to, but wasn’t a bad snack.

Another item snagged by Mom – she thought it was salty, but good/

These kind of scared me at first – carnival kettle tortilla chips? But they were absolutely delicious

They took the peanuts and gluten out, but kept in all of the yummy flavor.

I had a chocolate one with an adorable koala on it and it was very yummy.

The comforting taste and crunch of the cookie you love, without a single smidge of gluten.

Another item in this pack that scared me – but as usual – turned out to be very good!

Love With Food July

20160715_162925

It’s the height of summer, which means that everyone is raring to get outside and enjoy all the sun, warm weather and freedom that this season has to offer. What pairs better with adventures than scrumptious snacks? Nothing,we say. That’s why we packed this month’s box full of bright, bold summer flavors that will be right alongside you are you hit the open road.

Telling you what to eat this stuff with would be a disservice, because it’s good on everything. Fruit, crackers, toast – there’s no wrong choice.

Haven’t tried this yet, but I’m looking forward to it

Pure Growth Organic Popcorn
There’s popcorn and then there’s this organic, addictive, gluten-free stuff. Try it and tell us you can’t taste a difference.

I didn’t taste a difference… was I supposed to?

Shared this with my mom and we both enjoyed it.

One bite was all it took – for me to toss these in the trash. Not a fan.

Talk about a classic summertime snack. This jerky with the perfect touch of spice is easy to bring on the go, packed with energy and so scrumptious.

Probably my favorite item from this box! Very scrumptious.

Not only are these fruity treats all natural, but they’re totally adorable. Almost too cute to eat. Well, almost.

Definitely cute! And tasty.

Not a sour fan so my brother snagged these and enjoyed them.

Jimmybar
Simple ingredients that don’t mess around with any artificial stuff. No wonder this bar is so irresistible.

Another one I split with mom. She enjoyed it more than I did.

I enjoyed this blue popcorn!

Another one that Mom tried and she didn’t like this one.

Mom snagged this one and liked it.

20160414_164726

Joy is an almost perfect word for the almost indescribable idea of love. It’s pure happiness and utter excitement. And both of those things apply to delicious snacks too, right? Obviously. This month’s box is jam-packed full of goodies that we know you won’t be able to help loving. So spread the love (and joy) around!

 

Coconut Oil Kettle Cooked Potato Chips by Boulder Canyon
These will change everything you thought you knew about the humble potato chip – without any GMOs, cholesterol or gluten. Boom.

These were really great, a great addition to our memorial day cook out!

Fruit snacks by Go Organically
Organic. Authentic. Delicious. We believe Fruit Snacks should be made with real fruit. You’ll like what’s in it. You’ll love what’s not.

Brother tried these and enjoyed.

Black Rice Crackers by Laiki
Would you believe only three ingredients could make a cracker so addictive? Just one of these oh-so-simple crunchy snacks and you’ll be hooked.

Mom tried these… “they taste like nothing, but they are good. Not too salty. They are good” I tried one and have to agree.

Blueberry Acai Flax Oatmeal Fruit Squeeze by Munk Pack
Your preconceived notions about oatmeal are about to go down the drain with the first taste of this fruity, nutrition-packed deliciousness.

I haven’t had a chance to try this yet, but it was in another box and I enjoyed it so I am sure I will feel the same way once I get around to this one.

Green Tea Latte Candy by Bali’s Best
Your favorite refreshing drink made into a sweet-but-not-too-sweet, soothing, utterly mouthwatering morsel.

These were good. A little bit different since I’m not used to tea flavored candy but a nice change of pace.

Chocolate Chip Biscotti By Biscotti Di Suzy
Picture this: You + a warm cup of tea + this perfect crunchy, rich, sweet cookie. Sound too good to be true? Not anymore.

So good! Probably tied for my favorite in the box.

Gluten-Free Waffle by Honey Stinger
Waffles are’t just for breakfast anymore. Not when they’re a perfect balance of sweet, crispy, and gloriously gluten-free goodness.

The other favorite in the box. Can’t get enough waffles.

Banana Bar by Nutryttiva

You’re going to do a double take when you realize all this huge fruity flavor is packed into only two ingredients. True story.

This one grossed me out. It didn’t look appetizing and the lime included in it was probably what made me make such horrid faces once I did take a bite.  I didn’t manage to take more than that one bite.
