Love With Food: May 2017

I don't know about you, but I am so thankful that it is finally spring. We had a few weeks of constant rain not too long ago, and I thought I was going to go crazy if I didn't get a bit of sun. I've finally gotten my wish, and the weather ha been absolutely gorgeous. I'm spending more time outside now, and my mood has definitely improved. Who knew that weather could effect your mood so much?

Anyway, I was on my way home from a walk when I spotted my Love With Food box on my doorstep. Needless to say, I was pretty pumped. This month's theme is Savor Every Moment. I'm going to switch things up this month and list everything in the box below. Enjoy!

-MadeGood Chocolate and Banana Granola Bar

-WOWButter Toasted Soy Butter

-La Panzanella Multigrain Croccantini Crackers
-Mandy's Rich Chocolate Cookie Thins
-Dolcetto Cookies and Cream Wafer Bites
-Sensible Foods Organic Apple Harvest Crunch Dried Snack
-Route 11 Dill Pickle Kettle Potato Chips
-Lance Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers
-Bakery On Main Maple Multigrain Muffin Instant Oatmeal

That's everything! I really like everything that they included this month. I can't wait to try the dill pickle kettle chips and chocolate and banana granola bar. Actually, everything in this box looks freaking amazing! This is another great box!

Love With Food: April 2017

Hey guys! I hope you all have had a good week so far. I've been on a bit of a spring cleaning spree recently. The clutter was really starting to make me claustrophobic. I had no idea that I owned so much crap. It feels so good to throw away things that I know I will never use. 

Yesterday I came home from work, and saw that my Love With Food box had arrived. It could not have come at a more perfect time. I typically keep snacks in a drawer at work for when I forget to pack a lunch, and today I went to grab something and found out I was all out. SUCH a bummer! I'm going to restock my stash with items from my box this month. Fingers crossed I received some good items. Keep reading to see what is inside! Oh, and this month's theme is Be the Change.

I figured I would start with the savory items in my box. The first thing I pulled out if something I have actually purchased before, Utz Original Potato Chips. I get these to bring to parties and barbecues all the time. The next item is the 180 Snacks Almond Pops with Blueberry. I use to buy something similar to these at Target a few years back. I'm super excited to give these a try.

I had a ton of sweet items in my box this month. The first item is the Prince of Peace Ginger Candy, and I already know that I will be passing these along. I'm not a huge fan of ginger, so I'll pass these along. I am very excited to the the Surf Sweets Organic Fruity Bears. Anything gummy is right up my alley. I guess the fact that they are organic makes them healthy, right? I also received a bag of Dang Foods Cacao Coconut Chips. My dad loves coconut, so these will go right to him. Next is The GFB's Dark Chocolate Coconut Bar Bites. I've actually tried this brand before in a Popsugar Must Have box. I'm not a huge fan because of the coconut, but one of my friends really liked them so this will go to them. The final sweet item looks absolutely delicious! The Kashi Salted Chocolate Chunk Nut Butter Bar sounds so amazing. I've eaten Kashi cereal before, but never tried one of their bars. Who doesn't like chocolate though?

My box also included a protein powder this time around. I had no clue that Burt's Bees made protein powders. The Healthy Radiance Protein Powder isn't really my thing, but I can pass this along to someone else.

Love with Food: March 2017

I feel like doing a little shimmy every time my Love with Food box arrives on my doorstep. I swear it always comes whenever I run out of snacks in the house and start complaining about the lack of snacks but am too lazy to go buy more...Anyway, keep reading to see what was inside my box this time around!

The first product that caught my eye was the Chocolate Emoji Cookies from Tasty Brand. These cookies are so cute. I'm a sucker for any type of fun packaging or gimmick. I was also happy to see that they included a granola bar this month. I love keeping them in my bag in case I get hungry at work or while I'm out running errands. The 18 Rabbits Jr. Granola Bar has strawberries, mango, and chia in it, and it sounds wicked good. I usually like anything that has mango in it. 

There are so many sweets in my box this month...Of course, I don't mind one bit. My box included Coffee Candy from Bali's Best, Milk Chocolate Almond Toffee from Enstrom, and Chewie Fruities from Torie & Howard. I've tried the Chewie Fruities before, and they are basically softer and organic Starbursts.

Savory snacks are my favorites, and there were two in my box this month. The first is the HIPPEAS Far Out Fajita Organic Chickpea Puffs. I love how these puffs are vegan, non-GMO, and gluten free. The second item is the Wise Sea Salt Popcorn. I eat this stuff all the time, so I already know I will enjoy it. It's always nice to have small bags of popcorn around for a quick filling snack that is on the healthier side.

They included a beverage this month! I was happy to see the Monbana Hot Chocolate. It's still cool where I live, and hot chocolate is the perfect way to warm up on a cold night. I've been drinking so much hot chocolate recently, so this will definitely be used.

Love With Food: February 2017

Oh yeah, it's time for yet another Love With Food unboxing. My monthly box came days after my Gluten Free Mystery box did, so I figured I would share both of them. My inner foodie looks forward to this box arriving all month, and it's always a great day when it is on my front doorstep. The theme for this month's box is Follow Your Heart. It is a nice change from the usual Valentine's Day theme that most boxes do this time of year. I've never been a huge fan of Valentine's Day, so I appreciate when companies think outside the box.

I received quite a few savory snacks this month. I'm more of a savory snack eater, so I was quite excited. The first item I am PUMPED about is the Bacon Heir Rosemary & Sea Salt Pork Clouds. They are fancy-schmancy pork rinds, and I'm all about them. I tried them months ago, and they are so freaking yummy! The next savory item is the Blue Diamond Cheddar Cheese Nut Thins, crackers made with almonds. I like almonds and crackers, so I'm sold. The next two items are kind of out there. Watusee Foods Tomato Basil Chickpeatos are basically seasoned roasted chickpeas. I've never tried a roasted chickpea before, so fingers crossed that I like them. The last savory product in my box is the Kitchen Crafted Marinara Mia Tomato Mayo Spread. Now, I'm kind curious about this. Is it mayo? Is it marinara sauce? Both?

There were quite a few sweet snacks this month as well. The first is the  Belgian Boys Mini Cookie Stashes. You heard that right, these are cookies that are shaped like mustaches. I am dying over how fun these are. I'm not going to pretend like I didn't rip these open immediately and pretend I had a mustache. I know, I'm real mature. Oh yeah, and the cookie was yummy too. My box also included a bag of Sheila G's Salted Caramel Brownie Brittle. I've already purchased this a couple of months ago, and it is seriously addictive. I am obsessed with the name of the Laughing Giraffe Lemon Snakroons. How fun is that name?! I love anything lemon, so I'm sold on this already. My box also included an assortment of YumEarth lollipops. I like how these are organic, and allow me to pretend that a lollipop is healthy.

There is one item in my box this month that is completely new to me, and to be honest kind of confuses me. It's the Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts, and I had no freaking clue what they were when I saw them. I did a quick google search, and apparently they are shelled hemp seeds that add protein to salads, cereal, and yogurt. I guess they are kind of like chia seeds... I might have to pass these along to someone else.

Love With Food: January 2017

I’m back today with a Love With Food unboxing. I’ve been a subscriber of Love With Food for a year now, and I still am in love with the company. LWF is a business with a conscious. They donate 1 meal to a food bank for each box that they sell. It’s such an easy way to give back and still receive a little something for yourself.  I have seen first hand how hunger can impact a child's life, and I am happy that Love With Food is using their company to do some good.

I’m a foodie at heart, and I always love trying new and interesting things. I always say that I am game to try anything once. Each tastings box included 8 snacks that are either non-GMO, gluten-free, organic, or just plain healthy. There is usually a nice variety of sweet and savory snacks, so there really is something in there for everyone. I have been known to share snacks from time to time with friends from work or family...I know, I'm just a giving kind of person. Haha!

The theme this month is Seize the Day. Very fitting for the new year. I already tested a few of the products in this month’s box (lack of self-control, anyone?) and I can tell you that this box is a winner!

The first product feautred this month is Pirouline’s Dark Chocolate Rolled Wafer Cookies. These wafers are so delicious. I can get a large tin of them from time to time at my local Christmas Tree Shop. They are a serious indulgence.

My box this month included quite a bit of chocolate. I received Dave's Sweet Tooth Milk Chocolate Toffee, Dilettante Chocolates Coffee Trio Truffle Cremes, and Lily's Sweets Original Dark Chocolate Bar. Of course, I won't complain about having an excess of chocolate in my house. I already tried one of the milk chocolate toffees, and it is literally amazing.

The only savory item in the box this month is the Lundberg Family Farms Sea Salt Rice Chips. I've been a fan of rice cakes my entire life, and I think these will be similar. I'll have to save them for work one day this week. I'll also be saving the Bakery on Main Peanut Butter & Chocolate Granola Bar. Granola bars are usually pretty filling, and perfect for days when I don't have the time to sit down for a meal.

My box also included some Truvia Natural Sweetener. I actually already use this, so it's nice to have some more around the house. I also received some cookies this month! They are the Honey Heroes Whole Grain Cookies from MySuperCookies. I'm always game for a cookie.

I won’t lie, I was a bit nervous when I saw the Aloha Chocolate Protein Powder. I’m not one to really use protein powders, but I am always game to try anything once. I tried it out this morning, and I have to say that I am not a fan. It was a texture thing for me. I'm sure someone who is into these types of powders would have loved it though.
