The Biscotti Company Variety Pack of Handcrafted Biscotti

If there is one thing that makes coffee or tea taste better, it is a fresh biscotti cookie. If you can find one that is homemade – even better! Bruno LoGreco, the owner and head baker at The Biscotti Company grew up making biscotti with his Mother and Grandmother with a family recipe that had not been changed in 200 years! The Biscotto Company cookies are as close to homemade as I have tasted.

The best way to experience their biscotti cookies to try the Variety Pack. You get 3 full size bags of their 3 flavors – Almond, Chocolate Almond and Dark Chocolate & Orange. They are light and so crisp. The chocolate they use is so delicious.

As I browsed their shop to see what else I could enjoy, I found that they have a gluten free variety as well. They have several GF flavors to enjoy. Visit The Biscotti Company to order your Holiday supply of these delicious biscotti cookies.

MeatCrafters all natural sausages and charcuteri for summer grilling

August 5, 2022August 7, 2022 Erin Sluka

It has been a while since I have relied on grocery store meats. With grocery prices so high, the dollars have gone up and the quality seems to have lowered. For this reason, I get my meats from meat packs I create at my local butcher. Ordering meats has saved me money in bulk and I get great meat! MeatCrafters is a great source of meats you can order to your door and this is not the first time I have used MeatCrafters natural sausages. They are so fresh and always gain compliments when I cook for others, whether grilling or to create a killer charcuteri appetizer.

I just made MeatCrafters Pork Raging Brat Sausage for lunch and they were so delicious. I taste a lot of zest and a bit of sweetness. I boiled them first then seared over olive oil. There are no preservatives and 1 link is under 200 calories and 17g of protein – a perfect lunch for my macros!

MeatCrafters was established by Entrepreneur Mitch Berliner, his Wife (Debra) and business partner Stanley Feder in 2015. It is a Washington State brand so that is at home for me! All of MeatCrafters products are made only with meats raised on an all-vegetarian diet, and without antibiotics or growth hormones. Shop MeratCrafters selections online! They will arrive as fresh to you as they did to me, even on a warm summer day!

Hubs Power Packs Virginia Peanuts make a great protein snack

June 21, 2022June 20, 2022 Erin Sluka

School may be out for the kids, but I am still in the office through June. The kids leave and many staff are left behind to close school and prepare for next year. It is very mellow right now. The office seems empty and I can actually stay focused on the work I am doing. But, it is too quiet at times. To keep myself motivated, I make sure I have the right meals and snacks at work. I have just a few weeks before I get a break and I have so much to complete. I need to stay focused and having little protein power snacks is a must! I grab a Hubs Power Pack of Virginia Peanuts and toss it into my lunch bag every morning as I leave for work.

Hubs are not your ordinary peanut. There is something about a peanut that is so fresh, has a bit of moisture and a great taste to every peanut. They are salted just right and 1 pack is hardly enough. I always want more.

What is great is that these peanut packs are packed with 7g of protein, 2g of fiber, B Vitamins,Vitamin E, and are naturally vegan, gluten-free and non-GMO certified. They are home cooked and have been a hit since 1954 from Virginia.

You can stock up on these delicious Virginia peanuts by visiting Hubs online shop. They deliver to your door and the more you buy, the more you save! Shop Hubs today.

Straight from a generational farm in Montana are these protein and fiber snacks that are surprisingly addicting right out of the bag. These lentils are farm-grown, seasoned and packaged to snack on or add to salads and recipes. Lentil Crunchers are vegan and gluten-free (the facility processes wheat products, but the ingredients are GF).

Little Crunchers have around 8 servings a bag and each serving is 100 calories. You get 0g of added sugars and 7 grams of protein with 14g of net carbs. A great healthy snack!

Even my teen has been seen opening these a lentil snack bag and pouring some into his hand to much on. The flavors and crunch make them an addicting snack. The come in a few flavors – Signature Salty, Dill Pickle, Sweet Hickory and Chipotle Ranch. Farver Farms also produces Lentil meal and baking mixes to ship.
