Brazi Bites "Brazilian Cheese Bread" Review

It’d been four years since I’d moved to the U.S. to be with my husband Cameron, so I called my mother in Brazil and asked for our family recipe. She was excited and quick to share the family secrets that made “the perfect cheese bread.” . . . to read more about Brazi Bites click here

When it comes to Cheese Bread we always feel the need to eat it with spaghetti & meatballs aka pasta. I usually tend to skip the bread & butter because we all know bread has a lot of carbs, but we want to indulge once in awhile. I know my family is really big on bread and butter and like to dip it in the oil with the spices or at least I know my husband does, and my son loves the spray butter and puts it on his bread. I received a few "free coupons" in the mail to purchase a product called Brazi Bites which you can get at your local "Whole Foods Market". We chose Garlic Asiago & Cheddar & Parmesan. 

These were actually the only two flavors they had at my local Whole Foods Market store so we just went with these two flavors. Which is great because I love garlic & cheddar parmesan. These are really petite small cheese breads and they are the perfect size and only need a little bit to put on a pan to bake.

My family can eat, so I put a few more then expected to on a baking sheet and baked for about 20 minutes and they were done. They use the best healthy ingredients that I can think of which is really decent and important to me and my family. I love how they used safflower oil (which I never really heard of) tapicoca flour, yucca root and the other ingredients we are all formilar with like eggs, cheeses, salt, milk, etc.

Brazi Biters are Gluten-Free, Trans-Fat Free, Sugar Free & Soy Free.

I had made cavatelli pasta and we used the Garlic Asiago Brazi Bites first. I love garlic and the cheeses mixed together. The cheese bread bites were very soft and light which I liked. I don't normally love a lot of the dough. I would always tend to pick out the dough part because it was honestly just to much for me to eat and would make me full quicker. These aren't like that and they are very light and not to much filling in them and I like that. The taste was okay not to much garlic I couldn't taste it really and I didn't put butter on them, but my son did.

My son Nicholas with his Brazi Bites, he told me that they are just the right size for him an he liked them a lot. He and my husband had about 5 each and I stuck with 2. Besides the two flavors that I mentioned they also have Zesty Pepper Jack & 3 Cheese Pizza. I would of loved to have tried the Zesty Pepper Jack it looks tasty and good. I like a bit of a kick to my food. You could easily use these as a appetizer as well and make a marinara sauce and dip the bread in as well. Find more Recipes to use with Brazi Bites!

Ozeri Review

"Disclaimer:  All the opinions given, good or bad, are my own. The product is only used by me or someone in my immediate family. I received this product free of charge for an exchange for my honest review and they are 100% my own opinions. I received no compensation for this review."

Ozeri is a specialty manufacturer of digital lifestyle products for the modern home. Ozeri began as a supplier to the destination club market . .  . to read more about Ozeri click here

I received a Ozeri Touch 440 lbs Total Body Bath Scale to review on my blog. It measures weight, fat, muscle, bone & hydration with Auto Recognition, and I think that is the most amazing thing ever. I haven't own a scaled in awhile and my husband was always nagging me to get one, so I am happy we finally own a nice brand one called Ozeri. I love the touch screen LCD screen it's really easy to use and really easy to read with it's high contrast and blue light pops up on the screen you'll see below:

I just tapped my foot on the scale and it came up to 0.0 my son was the brave one to step on the scale because I'm not comfortable showing my weight on my blog for everybody to see, sorry. Some of you will understand. My son kept getting the numbers wrong because I told him that it also calculates your body fat and muscles and he thought that was pretty cool.

It just calculated his weight which he weighed in at 67.4 lbs. Great for a 10 year old. I'm also aware that you can weight your pet as well as holding them because there is a Tare setting on the scale as well which is very convenient. The best part of this product is that it has a built-in memory for up to 8 users with auto recognition technology for shared use at home or at your local gym or even your office. Each profile stores your weight, gender, height, and age data so that your family members can each track their progress. If that isn't enough I don't know what is because that is genius. I love that it's excellent.

I highly recommend this product if you are trying to loose weight or just want to track your weight every now and then. For the age group I don't recommend someone as the age of 9 or below to have a profile as it doesn't let you put that age group in. My son is 10 so we set his profile to 10 and that was an option. If you are thinking about purchasing read all the reviews to get the best of your knowledge and perks of the scale. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we are. You can view the product here:

Pure Indian Foods Review

Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post. I received complimentary products for review purposes. All opinions are my own.

Pure Indian Foods is a family-owned business from New Jersey that makes certified organic ghee and herbal and spiced ghee from grass-fed cows. We have been in the ghee business in Northern India for 5-generations, since 1889 . . . to read more about Pure Indian Foods click here

I've never really heard of Ghee before so it's interesting to me and my family to try these types of products out and get a good feel and enjoy it with other foods in our every day life. There organic Indian Ghee is made using grass fed cow's milk. Which I have no idea what that is even, but I read about it on Google and it means that Grass feeding is a practice not yet familiar to all consumers. 100% grass-fed cow's milk comes from cows who have grazed in pasture year-round rather than being fed a processed diet for much of their life. They don't add salt, preservatives, trans fat, dyes, colors, or anything else to there ghee. Which sounds really good because I don't like to consumer any of those ingredients either. I like healthy eating and using healthy products for myself & my family. It's important.

I was sent a Turmeric Superghee to review on my blog. I've tried a bit on my finger and it tasted different at first but it has amazing flavors of butter, but with the shelf life of cooking oils. I used this on my vegetables in a frying pan as you would as putting some EVO in a pan, etc. I like that it's gluten-free and provides healthy fats as well using this product. I usually like my vegetables with butter and my son loves butter he puts it on his bread most of the time and we can use this as a substitute of regular butter on our bread. You can use as follows: Fry, Saute, Bake. The benefits of turmeric are great but a ton of turmeric in ghee is just not very tasty combo, but everyone is different and a little goes a long way. I suggest using this on popcorn for a special treat if you are craving a night snack it is more healthier and can help you loose weight as well.

Be sure to use silverware because the color can stain your fingers or clothes! I learned that the hard way. Other then that, I love this product and so does my husband.

#HealthLabsNutraDigestiveEnzymes Review

"Disclaimer: I received this product complimentary for testing purposes."

Get Fast Relief from Gas, Bloating, Constipation and More! 

If you suffer from gas, bloating, constipation or any other symptoms caused by IBS or intestinal problems, a digestive enzyme supplement may be all you need to take back control of your body and start eating the foods you love, again. Even if you don't have digestive issues, everyone can benefit from taking digestive enzymes with their meals, as they help maximize nutrient intake from food. Poor diet and rapid eating can cause incomplete breakdown of foods and without the enzymes needed for proper digestion, the body may not be able to digest and absorb all the valuable nutrients it needs.

I personally do not have digestive problems, which I may be kind of surprised because my mom I think has had some issues in the past not sure if it was digestive problems but had gotten surgery with something along with her throat and food going down of some sort. Not really sure if that is even related to this product of digested health, etc. I suffer from constipation a lot and have been taking some stool softeners, so I am really hesitate to try this out since it didn't work for a friend family that had been trying it out for two weeks or so, but everyones body system works differently and this product may not be for everyone, but I was looking on the description that I put above some of the symptoms I suffer from and that is why I want to give it a try of what is left to see if it works for me. I hope so, fingers crossed!

A look at what some of the products I received in my May box. I really loved the ginger candy the best out of this box and some I gave to my husband because I was not a fan of a few things and some are men things in this box. I wasn't to thrilled for the May box.

Ginger candy helps soothe my stomach when it's upset or hurts. The Georgia peanut butter was really tasty. I used that on my fluff sandwich. The shampoo I had my son use it for the first time last night when he got his shower. He said I need to buy more pumps like this for shampoo. "Okay, Nick!" You got it!

I didn't receive the below product in my May box which was supposed to come with. I was a bit disappointed because I love mints and wanted to really try these.

Nikiani Review

Nikiani Inc, designs and produces premium lifestyle family and kids products.

I received a Brilliant Blanket Cabana Collection in Cabana Blue to review on my blog. It's a picnic approved water proof family size blanket with weighted corners. I love this because me and my son love to have picnics once in a blue moon at a park, and we couldn't use this for Mothers Day like we planned on using because it had a bit of a storm and it was really muddy and wet. I didn't want to risk it because it was heavy and I know it says waterproof but maybe like a bit of wetness but not a lot of wetness. I just didn't want to ruin a perfectly good product.

I like how big and roomy the blanket is because a family of three you usually have to bring 2 sets of blankets. I know this will come in handy for the 4th of July. I can't wait. The Family Size Blanket will fit up to 5 adults comfortably. I know this will come in handy for the beach days too not having to bring a big hot blanket to the beach is a relief. I like how they said in the description you don't have to hold down the corners with your belongings or shoes because it has that covered in this product. It has three smart layers made up of 100% cotton on top for softness, plush cushioning and waterproof underneath.

                (picture from website)

Overall I think this is great for any family with children, great for almost all outdoor actives and then some. It also has a waterproof easy access pocket for your phone, keys & cash. It folds back up to a easy transport; shoulder strap so you can carry it anywhere you go. I couldn't be more happier and will soon get my own pictures when the weather clears up. My potbelly pig can also enjoy this as well when we take her out for adventures too.

McCrea's Candies Review

"Disclaimer:  All the opinions given, good or bad, are my own. The product is only used by me or someone in my immediate family. I received this product free of charge for an exchange for my honest review and they are 100% my own opinions. I received no compensation for this review."

McCrea's award-winning caramels are handmade in small batches with premium, all natural ingredients. We use locally sourced cream, milk, and butter and insist on environmentally-friendly packaging for a product that's good to your taste-buds and to the world at large . . . to read more about McCrea's Candies click here

I received a few sampled caramels from McCrea's Candies to review on my blog. I've pretty much love chocolate caramels they have always been a favorite of mine especially when you receive a chocolate box and all I want is to find the square shaped of the caramel candies, and usually end up stealing the 2 in the box and leaving other's with none ha ha.

I chose the following to review:

Classic Vanilla, Deep Chocolate, Irish Coffee and they also sent me Black Lava Sea Salt which was very delicious and glad they threw in that extra product.

I love how each product came in a nice representable cylinder box the caramels are nicely wrapped. These I wasn't to sure I was going to like because of the sea salt sometimes a lot of chocolate companies put a lot of the sea salt on top and it throws me off guard. "I know I'm a strange woman" I'm picky when it comes to certain foods/candies, but it really tasted nice and to have that extra taste with the caramel. They are creamy and rich & I loved the crystal of Hawaiian black sea salts. My husband thought they were delicious as well.

The Classic Vanilla was my FAVORITE! You can see they are similar from above in the picture. These are by far the best caramels I've ever had in my lifetime honestly. The texture is so sweet and creamy & delicious they just melt in your mouth and the classic vanilla had me coming back for more. I couldn't stop eating them they were so good. 

I couldn't just not share some of the deliciousness and not give my husband some. I'm not that mean ha ha. I new he would love the Deep Chocolate & Irish Coffee. He is a fan of dark chocolate something I lack from and he is a big coffee fan, so the mixture is mutual for him.

 These were little packets and still very neat & cute with the package as well. Great for something to go along with a birthday present in a gift bag in my opinion. My husband really loved these both and he just was amazed at how good they were. He said they were yummy. I tasted the deep chocolate and they weren't that bad but very rich. 

I want to thank McCrea's Candies for letting me & my family enjoy there Hand Crafted Caramels. I would recommend these to my readers. You will be surprised at how good they actually taste and you might just fall in love with the taste and creaminess just like I did!

Whisper Pet Review

"Disclaimer:  All the opinions given, good or bad, are my own. The product is only used by me or someone in my immediate family. I received this product free of charge for an exchange for my honest review and they are 100% my own opinions. I received no compensation for this review."

We developed Whisper Pet to get rid of odors, not add to them. Most odor elimination products use perfumes and fragrances to cover up those not-so-delightful pet odors . . . to read more about Whisper Pet click here

If you have pets you'll want to get this Whisper Pet Odor Eliminator for your house. Owning pets can be a hassle sometimes, but more so for puppies because they tend to make a accident throughout the day and several days throughout the week if you aren't careful and aren't home with them. Luckily for me I have 2 dogs & 1 potbelly pig as my pets. Sometimes I will bring my mom's dog home for a few days and someone is always bound to make a mistake and make a pee pee on the floor. I hate it, but it happens. It hasn't happen in awhile, but there are days when I have this product and it comes in handy.

This must of been my dog Roxy because she pees a little bit and often at night when she probably doesn't want to go outside even though there is a doggy door right out the door way outback. I cleaned it up and patted it down and then sprayed the Whisper Pet Spray product on top. It did take a while to dry up and the smell didn't really have any odor smell like some products do or have a flowery scent. I prefer none at all because some smells give me headaches. Whisper Pet works best on fresh pee, and I so happened to have it on hand for when that accident came. Whisper Pet eliminates the bad stink smell from pee.

 Make sure you give it time to dry and keep your pets away from the area until it's dried up as well. If you have to just put a chair there so they can't sniff it or inhale it or anything like that. Overall everything seems fine and I haven't noticed the smell as I notice a smell in my son's room which I'm hoping eliminates fast because it's awful. I may just try this spray in there from when my pig peed in my son's closet. I know it works on fresh pee but I just will have to try and see if it eliminates some of the stinky smell. I'll just have to reapply it for the tougher smells. I enjoyed using this product and it has helped a lot.

The New Barn Review

"Disclaimer:  All the opinions given, good or bad, are my own. The product is only used by me or someone in my immediate family. I received this product free of charge for an exchange for my honest review and they are 100% my own opinions. I received no compensation for this review."

A living symbol connecting nature, people, and food. The agrarian third place, where nature begins to gain a glint of service to humanity, and humanity a broader commune with nature. And, the place of true farmers, who do honest work with dignity, respect, and connection to a higher good. A figure of strength and endurance and a commitment to a way of life worth being passed on to another generation . . . to read more about New Barn click here

I received a few "free" coupons to purchase some products from New Barn. I went ahead and selected these three Almondmilk in a bottle. We chose Vanilla, Original Almondmilk & Unsweetened Vanilla. I've heard a lot about different brand Almondmilk but just never tried it. I've had the carton kind you get at Acme to use in my smoothies, and this is just want I used this for with my smoothies. I love making smoothies by scratch and try to use real fruit when I can but usually end up using frozen strawberries. I usually put about a cup or more because I like my smoothies liquid not to clumpy. I used the Vanilla so it gave my smoothies a bit of a sweetness.

How I usually fill my Ninja with the almond milk. It tasted really creamy after using this product. I liked the taste a lot and it wasn't that sweet but just right. I don't know what I would do without my smoothies in my every day life. I just love them. My husband uses his for a creamer which also a great product to be used as well you can even add a bit to your tea. I also did try it with my cereal and it's delicious!

They have delicious Ice Cream flavors too. The closest Whole Foods Market near me only had these two flavors which was okay because I chose the Organic Vanilla and my husband got the Organic Coffee Bean. I really really wanted to try the Banana & Chocolate Chip. Maybe I have to score some at the other location near my Mom's house. 

I made my own Vanilla ice cream waffle sandwich, and it was so DELICIOUS! The Vanilla was perfect to go with a waffle sandwich. My son wanted to do the coffee, but he didn't end up liking it so my husband enjoyed the coffee bean.

My husband is a big coffee drinker so he was pretty happy that they had Coffee Bean as a choice from New Barn. I tried it too and it was really creamy & delicious. It had little specs of the coffee beans in the ice cream. Very delicious, but yet very high end price and not sure if I would get this on a regular basis. Whole Foods Market is high end and very expensive place to shop at, but if you use coupons they have at the front desk and you can get quite a bit for what you are spending on. I am going to splurge and buy myself the Banana Chocolate Chip I was telling you about that they have as well. I think I would like that a lot. It sounds really good.

Sneakz Review & Giveaway

With a simple blend of organic whole foods, including sweet potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, spinach and beets, Sneakz combines great taste with positive nutrition to help kids eat better and enjoy their veggies . . . to read more about Sneakz click here

For a lot of you that know me I love giving my family the best healthy meals possible and the best drinks possible when it comes to organic. I know organic can be a lot more expensive then other groceries. It seems kids these days know already what they like and don't like. Like my son for instance says that he already knows he does not like these Sneakz I'm assuming my mother tried these and bought them because he said he had them over her house, so what he doesn't know is I sneak these in my smoothies that he loves and well there you have it. I can be a sneak too and use these delicious milkshakes as a alternative for my family.

Since my son Nicholas didn't want to drink any my husband decided to try these and he loves them. He tried the Chocolate Milkshake first then the Strawberry he says he likes them both the best! Score!
Hey, so parents can have some nutrients too right? Each single box has a 1/2 serving of veggies which is great and really good benefits for your family.Gluten Free and great for school lunches and every day at your house for a snack. It has the following veggies in each: Carrot, Cauliflower, Sweet Potato, Spinach and Beets. I couldn't believe I saw the word Beets because gosh I know I hate beets, but you can't really taste any of the veggies in this delicious milkshake.





I personally don't really like the taste either all so much, so I rather put them in my smoothie so I'm at least getting some nutrients that way and as well for my son. I think that is a sweet idea too and my son really enjoys my smoothies too. They have a list of recipes you can find on there website to incorporate if you'd wish to look at some you can visit: https://www.sneakz.com/blogs/recipes
