Big things to come

Hey guys we're back!

Yes ...yes I said we. As in plural. We have a new, well "new-ish" blogger in these parts. Ed!!!!!! Whoop whoop!

I know I've been off and on with writing, and I'm just going to be honest. I LOVE writing! But somehow running a catering and pastry business and a home which I also LOVE makes it a little difficult to stay consistent since time seems never enough. Somehow I convinced myself that after having my little baby bear, it would be easier.

 Clearly it wasn't.

But alas I had an enlightenment why not ask my hubby, business partner, fellow food lover and chef if he was interested in sharing his foodiness with you guys. After all we are a tag team in all other aspects of life and it works brilliantly! Why not.

Guess what? He said yes!
Happy Dance!!!

Ok so here's whats up. We have lots of fun stuff coming up. New recipes, collaborations, cooking tips, interviews with other chefs, reviews and tons more.

We cannot wait to begin sharing.

Have a delicious week!

My 1st Product Review

Hey there!

Today I am going to share my thoughts on a snack, I found here in our local supermarket. I've heard the name floating around the webisphere. So when I saw them in the store, I just had to try them.

So what I tried was a "Food Should Taste Good" brand snack. Specifically the All Natural Tortilla Chips, jalapeno flavor with crushed red pepper flakes.

I really enjoyed this product. It is a hearty chip packed with flavor. The premise of the company is to use all natural, good quality ingredients. 

These chips are: 

- Gluten free

-Whole Grain

-No MSG 

-Contains 0g trans fat

-Cholesterol Free

-Vegan & Kosher

What I liked about the chips:

Texture: It is a sturdy chip, I could definitely use these as a vessel for a passed canape. They are a thicker cut than typical restaurant style tortilla chips. You can notice the whole grain but in a pleasant way. And you get that satisfying crunch as you bite in.

Flavor: The spice is real y'all! I can definitely taste the jalapeno and red peppers, although not overbearing for me. To me the seasoning is on point, not over salted and not greasy at all. 

Natural all the way. Even the color comes from beets!

I ate these straight up, but I had some company over and I served them with some Pico de Gallo and they were great. Comment below if you would like my recipe for "Pico". 

You could also pair it with:

-Guacamole 

Here's a link to my take on that:

-Mango Salsa

My take on this one here:

Have a delicious week!

Happy August

Coffee popsicles

Soooo I have, had my hands full with my little nugget and wedding season. Weddings every weekend... whoop whoop! Don't you guys just love, LOVE! Sigh... romantic at heart.

Anywho with all this running around in this heat on limited sleep, Iced Coffee sounds great! But even better are Coffee Popsicles! So today I am going to share a quick easy recipe for these yummy treats.

Coffee Popsicles (makes 4-6)

1 Cup brewed coffee (or you could use instant coffee like Nescafe granules)

1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
2tbsp sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream

Method:
Once your coffee is brewed, add the sugar, milk and cream and stir until dissolved.
Allow to cool . Pour into Popsicle mold and freeze for 4-6 hrs.
Un-mold and enjoy!

Tip: To un-mold, dip the mold in a glass of hot water for 15 seconds, remove and wiggle the pop stick and it should come clean out.

I really hope you love these as much as I did.

Sidenote: I am now a proud breastfeeding momma, so I am thinking, I will  share some recipes and foods which help with milk production and energy boosting. Also when little one begins to wean I will share some baby food recipes. If there is anything you guys would like me to add be sure to comment.

Have a delicious week!
