JK Gourmet – where delicious and gluten-free meet! review and #giveaway ends 6/6
Disclosure: The blog owner (that’s me!) received a product or promotional item from JK Gourmet to facilitate this review. I was under no obligation to post a positive review. The opinions contained herein, are my own and reflect my experience with the product(s). Your own may differ.
I’ve been on a journey to become healthier. I have spent a lot of time researching food allergies and alternative diets. As a result, for both myself, and my children, I have decided to take a gluten-free approach. During this journey we have tried some gluten-free foods that were absolutely fantastic and some that left something to be desired.
Among the fantastic, JK Gourmet and their Original Granola and their Almond Flour Muffin Mix. Grain-Free JK Gourmet began in 2001 by Jodi Bager, and now run by Jodi and her husband, Steven. The Canadian company is devoted to offering all-natural, preservative-free whole-foods and baked goods that not only healthy for you and your family, but taste good, too.
I was very excited to try the original granola, as in my opinion, there is no better way to start the day than with a bowl of granola topped with unsweetened almond milk. The Original Granola did not disappoint. With ingredients like nuts, seeds, unsweetened coconut and organic raisins, I was in heaven. Perfectly sweetened, my leftover almond milk wasn’t a sugary afterthought when the granola was gone.
I have to admit, this granola didn’t last two entire days in our house. It met with my granola and almond milk addiction and then my children’s snack addiction, and while a worthy adversary, it came to a quick end. Leaving me ready to order more. It was that good.
Perfectly sated after the granola, I next tried the Almond Flour Muffin Mix, super-finely ground and guaranteed gluten-free, is exactly what I have been looking for. I have used other almond flour mixes in the past, but didn’t find them ground fine enough for my taste. JK Gourmet’s Almond Flour Muffin Mix was perfect for my baking needs. Barely sweet, with the slightest nutty flavor, it allowed for the other flavors (I added bananas) you are baking with to shine. It mixed super well and leaves you with a nice texture and end result. Definitely a keeper in the way of kitchen staples.
My final thoughts: Everyone in my home enjoyed the Granola (too much lol) as well as the banana muffins I made with the Baking Mix (even those of us not so concerned about health *ahem, my husband*). The wonderful thing is that if the health-unconscious appreciate the Grain-Free JK Gourmet products, those of us with specific dietary needs, will appreciate them even more.
Perfect if…
• You are on a gluten-free diet
• You are lactose intolerant
• You are trying to increase your intake of whole, natural foods
• You are trying to reduce the amount of wheat or other grains in your diet
• You want to eliminate refined sugar from your diet
• You are following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) for intestinal health (our honey-sweetened products are perfect for you!)
• You love delicious granola, cookies and muffins, but want to eat them guilt-free!
Purchase JK Gourmet on their website and be sure to like them on Facebook too!
The wonderful folks at JK Gourmet have generously offered one of my readers the chance to win a bag of their wonderful granola and a box of one of their yummy new baking mixes, like the ones I was sent! Thank you so much!

Calico Dragon Bags – Bold fashion, big mission – review and #giveaway ends 6/5
Disclosure: The blog owner (that’s me!) received a product or promotional item from Calico Dragon to facilitate this review. I was under no obligation to post a positive review. The opinions contained herein, are my own and reflect my experience with the product(s). Your own may differ.
One Very Bold Fashion Statement. One Really Big Mission. Save the Animals
I’ve been struggling for a couple of days to actually write this review. I try, for the most part, to at least try to remain a little detached when I write a review. This time, it just hasn’t been easy to keep my distance.
The entire line of Calico Dragon Bags speak to my heart. Candy Brown, founder of the company, has made it her mission to speak for those among us that cannot speak for themselves….and does it in a way that is extremely fashion forward.
The Calico Dragon Bags line features many messages – whether you live a vegan lifestyle, are against animal abuse, speak out to make our oceans safe for the creatures that dwell there, work to keep elephants out of the circus, are against wearing animal fur, are a rescue worker or volunteer, there’s a bag you’ll love!
I’ve been proudly sporting my “Rescue, Foster, Adopt” bag everywhere I go. It’s the perfect size to carry everything I need for the day – wallet, keys, notebook, wipes, lip balm, dog treats, water bottle, an extra leash and my camera, too. There’s still room for anything else I might need! It never fails to draw comments and compliments, too, and leaves no doubt where my passion lies. A lady at the grocery store actually told me that it was my bag that inspired her to adopt from a local rescue instead of buying from a backyard breeder! That’s huge!
Below is a list of charities that we currently support through sales of our handbags. We can also create handbags with custom designs for your charitable organization. Please call or email for details.

www.serenityspringssanctuary.org

www.bigcatrescue.org

www.peta.org (through the PETA Business Friends Program)
The entire line of Calico Dragon is completely vegan and constructed from upcycled materials. Since they order such a small number of bags, the fabric used to make their bags is purchased from factories out of their “scrap” material, which would otherwise end up in a landfill. Heavy duty construction along with a bold message presented in an artistic fashion make these bags truly unique!All are available on their website and you can connect with them on Facebook and Twitter, too.
That’s not all! The good folks at Calico Dragon are generously offering one of my readers the chance to win their bag of choice (except Large Caterpillar Quote design, the Mine Lost Hers small red bag or any of the evening clutches)Thank you so much!

Wordless Wednesday..same turtle, six months later
Six months ago, I caught this picture of Cooper as he ‘protected me’ from the bad old slider turtle that was making his way from the back pond to the front. Yesterday, I captured this shot of Cooper and the same poor slider as he made his way from the front pond to the back…
Honoring the feminine with Bonjour Jolie subscription boxes…
The blog owner (that’s me!) received a product or promotional item from Bonjour Jolie to facilitate this review. I was under no obligation to post a positive review. The opinions contained herein, are my own and reflect my experience with the product(s). Your own may differ.
Women are truly remarkable beings. Every single month, from puberty through menopause, our bodies prepare to nourish and produce new life. We follow the same ancient cycles that countless generations of women have followed before us.
In many cultures, the ebb and flow of the monthly cycle gives the gift of reflection and intuition at one time, as women take pause from daily life to nurture themselves and ponder ideas, solutions to daily problems and our creative energy. This monthly cycle of ours is in harmony with the tides and the moon. We are meant to be in harmony with nature’s ebbs and flows.
In real life? Not so much in today’s society. Gone are the moon hut and the period of rest from the daily grind that went with it. Today’s woman feels like she must do it all…and most of the time, we manage very well, thank you.
Recently, I was invited to review a wonderful new product that honors the feminine in each of us. Bonjour Jolie is a premium subscription box designed with one goal…to pamper women during their period! Containing feminine products, specialty bath and body items, gifts, teas and artisanal chocolates, the monthly box is filled with hand selected items tailored to YOUR needs and preferences.
Begin your subscription today for just $16 (+ S&H) and connect with Bonjour Jolie on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, too.
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go soak in a Zum JuJucuzzi Geranium infused bath while nibbling on my delicious Chicks with Chocolate truffles. Both items were discovered in my Bonjour Jolie box along with a host of other lovely items!
Dei Fratelli Gluten Free Tomato Soup – review and #giveaway ends 6/3
Disclosure: The blog owner (that’s me!) received a product or promotional item from Dei Fratelli to facilitate this review. I was under no obligation to post a positive review. The opinions contained herein, are my own and reflect my experience with the product(s). Your own may differ.
I’m a tomato soup kind of girl. It’s one of the top comfort foods on my list. I always have it in the cupboard for a quick meal of soup and grilled cheese sammies, and I use it it many recipes to build or add flavor.
Recently, I was invited to review Dei Fratelli Gluten Free Tomato Soup and although it’s not my ‘go to’ brand, I agreed to give it a try and I’m so glad I did.
As a fourth generation, family-owned company, our brands thrive on family traditions – just like yours. We take a great deal of pride in knowing that our products are made of the finest ingredients possible and that our tomato products are grown from seedlings that we cultivate ourselves. When the Dei Fratelli family puts a product on our grocers’ shelves for your family, we do so knowing that we’ve taken the same amount of care and attention to quality that we would if we were placing it on our own family’s table.
Using rice flour instead of wheat flour, Dei Fratelli Gluten Free Tomato Soup is one of the very few condensed tomato soups that is 100% gluten free!
Produced without high-fructose corn syrup, tomato paste or water, Dei Fratelli’s all-natural product uses crushed tomatoes to provide its fresher-tasting, rich tomato flavor. The difference between Dei Fratelli Gluten Free Tomato Soup and my old brand is like night and day. For one thing, it tastes delicious….much more like my homemade soup than the other brand. No artificial anything and ingredients that I can pronounce. I like that and my ultra picky husband actually asked for seconds! THAT doesn’t happen often.
Can’t find Dei Fratelli in your favorite store? Purchase them online HERE or fill out this form for your grocery manager to request their wonderful product line. Stop by the Dei Fratelli Pinterest page, be sure to like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter too.
The great folks at Dei Fratelli are generously offering my readers a chance to win a 3-pack of their delicious gluten free tomato soup, like the one I was sent! Thank you so much!
