Love With Food- Feb Box 2013 Review

Hello everyone! So, I know I'm a bit late on this, but here is my review on the Love with Food February Box! Valentines Edition. Dun Dun duuuuuun.

 So starting with the February month, Love with Food changed their packaging- It is now left as it is, but inside a plastic encasing. Pretty cool!

What was inside:

[o] Jer's Squares -Original
Haven't tried these but I'm not a big fan of chocolate with peanut butter. Still, heard these were pretty good!

[o] Truffle Pigs by Hagensborg Chocolates  Caramel & Peanut Butter
Hmm. These Truffle Pigs were in a previous Love with Food box- though lasts time it was just milk chocolate. The Truffle Pigs are nothing but average chocolates. Not the best, but not the worst. They're a pretty good treat. Now with that said, the caramel one was amazing. I mean, caramel and chocolate is ALWAYS a winning combination. The peanut butter truffle was okay. Again, I don't really like peanut butter mixed with chocolate.

[o] Beanfield's Pico de Gallo Bean & Rice Chips
Yum! I was a bit hesitant on trying these, but these are really good! They have a spice to it, that isn't really spicy, but gives it a strong peppery type of taste.  It has a nice grain aftertaste.

[o] Millie's Savory Teas Tomato Basil Sipping Broth
Have NOT used this. First of all, I am not really fond of tea, and second of all...a sipping broth in the from of a tea bag? Hm. If it actually tastes like a broth, then I'm all for it. However, other review suggests that it tastes too watery, or just odd.

[o] Bobbysue's Nuts! Original Nuts
Ugh. I hate these. These were in a previous box, and it was just horrible. It's a heavy mixture of sweet meet spice. But I only tasted the sweet.

[o] Funny Face Flavored Dried Cranberries
I believe I got the strawberry flavored- haven't tried them yet, but my mother claimed they were yummy.

[o] Donsuemor Chocolate Madeleine
Whoa. Super soft, with a fluffy, and moist texture. Pretty good, especially with coffee! I was seriously tempted to order a whole box of these.

[o] Nektar Honey Crystals
Eh.. I don't drink tea, and I prefer regular sugar for my coffee. Wasn't used.

Overall this box was pretty good for me! I only paid 2$ due to a discount, so yay.  Worth the value.

Love with Food Jan Box- Plantain Chips Review

Plantain Chips by Turbana.

Hello Everyone! So, this was one of the items that I received for the Love with Food- January Box (Theme: International Delights). Growing up as a child, I had plantains as snacks and as part of a main dish. It's truly amazing how different it can taste depending on how you make it. I was excited to try this out!

More air than actual chips- very disappointing.

Mmm! Are mouths drooling yet? Because mines just did.

The Plantain Chips taste like any other plantain chip out there. Nothing too unique or exciting about these. However, I still found it delicious. Personally, I wished it was a bit more salted, but I have seen that many have said it was salted enough. Darn my salty cravings! (Time of month, maybe?).

Oh. Oh my. Okay. So these are VERY ADDICTING despite how common the taste is. The chips are crisp and crunchy, and the salty flavor seems to rush into your mouth as you chew the plantain around. Needless to say, it was hard to put down the whole bag! These will make a great alternative to potato based chips. Overall, I do recommend these, and most definitely will be on the look out to buy these.

December Goodies Co + January Love with Food

Hello everyone! So I finally decided to take pictures of the two food boxes I received, a few weeks back, while I was in New Jersey. Do note, I have NOT tried anything yet, however I probably will share these with family as to speed up the process. Enjoy (:

Subscription: Goodies Co. - December Box
Theme: Naughty or Nice
Price: $7 a month
Link: Goodies Co Linkage

Items in December Taster Box 2
* Sun Cups - Dark Chocolate Mint Cups
* Sun Cups - Sunflower Butter Milk Chocolate Cups
* EatSmart Naturals - Veggie Chips
* Effie's Homemade - Oat Cakes
* Rocky Mountain Popcorn - Cinnamon Sugar
* World Table - Mint Chocolate Cookie Thins
* Bare Fruit - Cinnamon Apple Chips
My initial impression: Great, I happen to get the mint vs cinnamon combo. Not a huge fan of mint, especially when paired with chocolate. I like chocolate to be...well just chocolate. On the other hand, I am a fan of cinnamon, however I am kind of skeptical of how Cinnamon sugar popcorn will taste like. I have never tried apple chips before. For $7 this is another awesome box!

Subscription: Love with Food - January Box

* Almond Anise Bisotti
* Plantain Chips
* Firecracker Chocopod
* Gluten Free Shortbread Tea cookies (3 pieces)
* AppleStrawberry Applesauce

My initial impression: Uh, well, small cringe moment. Not the best of boxes from Love with food, and most of the samples were super small. The Cinnamon and Belgian chocolates are far too small to even be called a sample. Overall, not too excited about this box, however can't wait to try the Plantain Chips! Used to eat them when I was a child- yum.



So, there you have it! Love with Food (January) and Goodies Co (December) Boxes! Will review each box fully when I get to try them out. (:
