Love with Food {Sample Box}

This month, I decided to try a sample box subscription from Love with Food. Love With Food sends a curated box of organic, all-natural snacks to your door every month. And for every box sold, they donate a meal to several food banks such as the Feeding America Network and Share Our Strength - No Kid Hungry. Nice.

Yesterday I received...a gluten-free sample box of treats curated by Chef Ming Tsai...

Cheddar Cheese Organicasaurus from Good Boy Organics

Roasted Red Pepper and Artichoke Bruschetta from Milas Foods

Blueberry Fruit Bar from Betty Lou's

Roasted Garlic Hummus from Wild Garden

100% Natural Crunchy Cinnamon Apple Chips from Bare Fruit

Cherry Berry Raw Cookie from Licious Organics

Sipping Broth from Millies Savory Teas

Cinnamon Crunch from Cosmos Creations

Fruit Snacks from YumEarth Organics

It was a nice selection of goodies that quickly was distributed into lunchboxes this morning. I'll hear the verdict this afternoon, I'm sure. While I love the idea of the box - and especially like the do-good aspect of the company - I think that the price is a little steep for what you get.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron.

When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
