Our thoughts on the products we received.

Paloe Powder Seasoning: We tried this on some chicken breast that I seasoned then baked in the oven.  Everyone in the family liked the flavor of this seasoning, but each person seemed to have a different take on the flavor.  My mother thought that it had a sort of smoky, hickory flavor while I thought it had more of a Mexican seasoning flavor.  This seasoning would be great for a variety of items and we look forward to purchasing and using more in the future. 

Trolli Sour Bites Crawlers: These are a classic and everyone loves them, I was kind enough to let my son have the entire bag, which was gone very quickly.  The Trolli gummies are definitely the best especially when it comes to the sour flavor. 

Crown Maple Sugar: I wanted to get the full flavor of the maple sugar so for the first try, I used it in my coffee.  I made a plain coffee  and used regular milk for cream so that I could taste the sugar which I felt provided a good sweetness with a hint of added flavor.  I also used some to make my son some toast, I use this maple sugar in place of cinnamon sugar.  He liked the toast and ate it all up but when I asked him he said that he liked cinnamon toast better so I will be sticking to my coffee for this. 

GinnyBakes Chocolate Chip Cookies: I shared this package with my mom, sister, and myself.  There were approximately 5 small cookies in the package which is perfect for a quick snack.  I personally liked the crunchiness of he cookies, I am not a fan of soft cookies so these were perfect.  I also think that the hardness of the cookies would help them to stay nice for commuting rather than getting crushed as cookies often do.  I think this would be a great snack for anyone that craves sweets because this gives a good sweetness but limits the person to only the few in the package. 

Butterfields Hard Candies: These were fantastic! I love hard candies and purchase them frequently but often they all taste the same while these definitely had a distinct orange flavor.  They were incredibly delicious and I cannot wait to pick up more to set out on my desk at work.  My sister and I shared the package that we received for free and have had a hard time saving them.  These are also great for someone with a sweet tooth to help kick that craving. 

Lovebug Probiotics: I let my mama try these out and she has been loving them for kick starting her dieting.  She has been taking them each night before dinner time and she is finding that she feels less hungry and is eating less at dinner time.  I think she was skeptical at first but has grown to like these. 


Rufus Teague BBQ Sauce: This BBQ sauce was great, my husband tried these and loved both but especially the Honey flavored one.  He kept mentioning that the whole family would really like he Honey flavor and that it would be good on the BBQ pulled beef sandwiches that I make so I think we will try to purchase a bottle of this for next time we make that for dinner.  He said that he liked the consistency of the sauce, it was not too think nor was it too runny and it did not make a sticky mess like many BBQ sauces do.  This seemed to be the perfect consistency. 

GURU Energy Drink: For this one we received the flavor that is in the Red and Black can and unfortunately no one in the family liked this drink.  I first tried it and was not impressed, I then gave it to my younger sister who also did not like it and who then gave it to our mother who then gave it to my husband.  My mom said it tasted like carbonated cough syrup and I have to admit that she is sort of right about that one.  We did all say that we would be willing to try one of the other flavors though. 

Nellie's All-Natural Baby Laundry Soap: This laundry soap was great ...for my husband.  He is always complaining about how the laundry detergent irritates his skin and causes rashes, he complains if I buy generic or if I buy Tide it really doesn't matter so I decided to try this on his clothing.  After a few loads of washing and him wearing his clothing, I began asking if he was having any trouble and he had nothing to mention.  He did not seem to have any issue what so ever with this laundry soap product.  Additionally, he is a mechanic and obviously the clothing comes home quite dirty.  I was surprised that this All Natural Baby laundry soap did such a great job of cleaning a mechanics clothes yet was so gentle for the skin.  I will definitely be purchasing more of this so that I can avoid the fussing in the future.
