  Best Bakery Party at Bakery Square

a sampling of treats
Last Saturday I went to the Best Bakery Party at Bakery Square. It was really nice!

Even tho there was only one bakery I found with treats for moi. But those treats were delicious!

I had 4 mini cupcakes from Dozens Bake Shop. They are back and better than ever I might add.
The cake was moist and flavorful in its own right, but the icing was knock your socks and boots off good.

Chocolate Buttercream on the vanilla cake and peppermint icing on the Chocolate cake.

Chocolate Cake with Peppermint Icing

If the Choc buttercream had been on the chocolate cake I probably would have gone into a coma eating 2 more of those. But its giving me some ideas....


Lollihop from Health Deals

I got my Lollihop box a few weeks ago and ate it up before the week was gone

This was an extremely tasty and awesome box!


Well not the box, but the things in the box....

- Paleonola, Chocolate Fix

   This was delicious! I need more of this grain free granola asap.

- Good Health Natural Foods (makers of my beloved Humbles)
Peanut Butter Stuffed Pretzels, Salted

    Good but too salty for my liking

- Popcorn, Indiana, Kettle Corn Original

    So tasty! Not as crunchy as fresh kettle corn, but this could definitely get me through winter

- Inka Crops, Gourmet Inka Corn Original
  
   Very good! Not as hard as corn nuts, but that same taste..and bigger

-Calbea Snack Salad Snapea Crisps, Original
  
   You know how I feel about these little bites of yumminess. I happily got several relatives and friends addicted to these things. They are only $1.30 a bag so its not an expensive addiction....

- Two Degrees, Cherry Almond Bar

    These were right up my alley! Filled with fruit and nuts and grain sweetened. My first experience with Chia Seeds. I might have to look into putting these in my date bars.

- Popcorners, Sea Salt

    These remind me of the rice cakes that were made of corn, but these are 300 times better. Just the right amount of salt and the flavor was like fresh popcorn.


Two Degrees Bar in cherry almond
in scary surroundings....

There was only one thing in it that had dairy and I passed it on to the bro,
but it was ranch and thats not up my alley anyway
(odd considering i used to practically drink it out the bottle).


I would purchase all but one of the products they put in my box and was really happy with everything.

Sadly this company is discontinuing the mail order service for a while.
But keep an eye on them.

I love boxes of Stuff!

I received a reviewers box of goodies from the Brad's Raw people last Monday and I really couldn't wait to share it with you.  However, when they said they were sending a sampler I was expecting tiny sample-sized packets, but this is what I got: And since I'm working on not being a greedy gus, I didn't immediately rip into all the packages and devour them. I did eat almost a whole container of the Naked Leafy Kale chips for dinner, but that was out of necessity since i haven't been shopping... Even though I don't strictly follow a gluten free or raw diet, I'm always on the lookout for a good tasting, portable gluten free or raw snack. I usually lean toward the Raw sweet snacks, but I'm open to more salty or savory ones. Along with the box of tasty vittles there was a nicely packaged information folder about how the company started and who Brad is. Brad was the typical American guy (i.e. overweight and unhealthy), but that all changed when he m

In my attempts to reduce my stress load I have rediscovered one of my favorite de-stressors: relaxing with a hot cup of tea. Ive read wonderful things about the relaxing benefits of Earl Grey tea spiked with Bergamot. I have to admit I'm a bit of a tea snob. I like to be able to see the composition of the tea in the bag. I find it thrilling to look in the tea bag and see bits of dried orange and lemongrass. This, of course, can do terrible things to ones wallet. So, in the interest of pinching pennies (sounds gruesome for those poor pennies) I considered the lower costing teas. To be perfectly honest I was not hopeful when I selected this tea. But for a change the tea that cost the least ($2.99) was surprisingly good (Mind you i was shopping at Whole Foods and its pretty hard to buy an awful product there). Bigelow Tea has a wonderful quality to its taste even though it is not a whole leaf tea. And as I was perusing the tea boxes I noticed that it is one of the few teas that has ac

Do you ever Treat Yourself?

Of course I do! But after eating whole foods for so long, my treats tend to be "real food". A treat for me is a trip to Chipotle, Whole Foods prepared foods section, or just cooking something I can't afford regularly (i.e. something with artichokes, avocado, etc.). But that is not to say I don't have non- whole food treats. But feel free to laugh at my list of "naughty" treats. It is kind of annoying when I say I have a craving and my friends laugh because my cravings are relatively "healthy". Anyway, here is a sampling of what I've been indulging in this summer. So Delicious Coconut milk ice cream in Cherry Amaretto with a dollop of Coconut Butter Tortilla chips topped with nooch cheese and tomato sauce Sweet potato fries with peanut butter and coconut butter Soft Pretzel at the Pittsburgh Pirates game Pirates won! Ice coffee with soymilk and maybe a shot of Torani syrup...
