Celebrate National Coffee Day Dunkin Donuts New Fall Menu + Menu Review

Sunday, September 28, 2014

I am really excited to tell you about the New Pumpkin Menu for this season. The new pumpkin menu which has a lot of items. I was lucky enough to sample some of these items at my local Dunkin Donuts for this post and I have to tell you to come in and try their new menu everything is amazing!! One of the new items on their menu is the new Pumpkin Crème Brulee Coffee and Lattes you can get these hot and iced which is a mixture of pumpkin and vanilla. These are really good I was able to try both hot and cold. Another great item they are going to have is there Spicy Smoked Sausage breakfast sandwich this was really good it was pretty spicy and I like spicy so i loved this. And other fall menu items include a full line of beverages and baked goods. Perfect Pumpkin picks that are available anytime of the day.

Some of the items that you can expect throughout the Fall are:

Pumpkin Coffee and Lattes their are two different varieties of pumpkin you can get Pumpkin or Pumpkin Mocha and they can be served hot or iced.

Pumpkin Pie Donut this has a pumpkin pie filled buttercream filled in the donut frosted with white dripping icing and sprinkled with graham cracker topping.

Pumpkin Donut and Munchkins Donut Hole Treats this is a glazed pumpkin cake donut that can be also enjoyed as Munchkins donut hole treats.

Pumpkin Muffin a delicious spiced autumn topped with white icing and sweet streusel crumbs.

Pumpkin K-Cup packs available at dunkin donuts stores nation wide 9.99 a box for this variety of the brands popular k Cup packs for the Keurig k cup system and now you can enjoy the smell and taste at home.

Pumpkin Packaged Coffee this is available in 8 oz size at participating Dunkin Donut restaurants .

All these items will be available through the Fall at participating dunkin donuts.

And be on the lookout there will be a fun new pumpkin treat added to the menu in October.

And be on the lookout shortly for the Spicy Smoked Sausage Breakfast Sandwich this ahead of the cooler weather this sandwich has a spicy split sausage link with egg and American cheese served on a English muffin. This sandwich was really good I have been loving spicy things right now and this sandwich hit the spot my son even liked it but I made sure not to give him the sausage part in case it was.

Some other great things we were able to try were pumpkin mocha coffee which is available in hot or iced. I liked them both ways.

The next item that was really good was there Pepper Jack Supreme Bagel which was amazing with the melted cheese and peppers so good.

Now for something new they have on the menu is there new chicken Snack'n go this is a yummy wrap with chicken and bacon in it my son loves chicken so there was no surprise that he would enjoy this. Perfect for a little one at lunch time or really any time of the day.

Are you in the mood for an ice coffee??? You should try there french vanilla swirl ice coffee. This coffee is a good one all year but to me it has a fall taste to it if that makes sense!!

Then there was there hazelnut ice coffee which is really good too it has a nutty taste and reminds me a lot of fall.

And the last but not least we were able to try the pumpkin milkshake my son was a huge fan of this. It was very sweet and creamy and very very good!!

And we had some of baskin robbins cheesecake ice cream this was a creamy ice cream that was really good also and a big fan of that of course was my son that is all he asked about.

And now for the special I have been wanting to tell you. For one day only on Monday September 29th is National Coffee Day and Dunkin Donuts is providing 1 Med Dark Roast Cup of Coffee all day for free no purchase necessary!!!!

The dark roast coffee we actually were able to sample and was pretty good but usually I like mine a little sweeter. But I do love how strong the dark roast is it really wakes you up!!

Holiday Gift Guide Butterfly Bakery Review

Monday, December 16, 2013

I really enjoyed the items I received from the Butterfly Bakery the items we were able to try were the sugar free Chocolate Chip cookies 6pk and also the no sugar added Blueberry Mini muffins. Both products didn't last long in this house they were really good. My kid's both loved the cookies and the muffins. I favored the muffins over the cookies just because they were so light and moist so good. My husband even liked the muffins and that is saying a lot coming from him. I did love the cookies too. I just love sweets in general.

Packed with big fresh Maine wild blueberries, this No Sugar Added blueberry muffin is a delicious treat any time of day. Nature’s sweetness is at it’s best with our No Sugar Added recipes. We use fresh fruit nectars, along with our signature blend of sweeteners including 100% natural Stevia. Together they make moist fluffy baked goods with the perfect amount of sweetness and unmistakable flavor. Butterfly Bakery made with 100% love. Retails for $5.99

We take great pride and care to bring you sugar free baked goods that fit your lifestyle and conquer your cravings. Butterfly Bakery made with 100% love. Retails for $5.99

About the Company:

It all started with one oven, one mixer and a whole lot of love!

In 1998, I started experimenting with Sugar Free desserts that my mom could enjoy. See, she has diabetes and the choices at the time were limited. I set out on a mission to satisfy her sweet tooth. This was no easy task, as she is an exquisite baker and very tough critic.

I kept experimenting with sugar free recipes, baking cakes and muffins - even creating my own buttercream frosting... until one day, my Mom took a bite of my cake and declared it, “Simplesmente perfeito!” (’Just perfect’ in Portuguese). I knew I was on to something when I started to get requests from friends and family who didn’t even have diabetes.

And The Butterfly Bakery was born.

The first Butterfly Bakery team with their first order in 1998.

Pictured 3rd from left, Brenda; 2nd from end Brenda's Mom.

Today we make a full garden of varieties of baked goods from Sugar Free, No Sugar Added, Gluten Free, Whole Grain and Low Calorie - all with the distinctive Butterfly taste that passed my mom’s first test.

What is the secret ingredient to

our trademark taste? Love.

Baked right in.

Holiday Gift Guide Shirley J Mugging (Cake in a Mug) Mix line Review

Tuesday, December 10, 2013

Shirley J has some great items they are all cooking related and I love their line of items have you ever heard of cooking in a mug well some of their items you can, they also have something called whisk bliss and that you can make your own homemade alfrado sauce its so good or other recipes from it also. They also have chicken bouillon powder you can make in water as a broth or many other things. I love the whisk bliss and the mugging line of items. They range from pancakes, pumpkin spice bread, chocolate brownie cake, cobbler, and a quiche in a cup that involves cheese one of my favorites to eat and these are all so easy to make.

The sauce cooking

This was easy to make and not that many ingredients at all just water the powder and some parmesan cheese.

This is how the noodles turned out don't they look good this was so yummy. Even my husband said it was really yummy and he's really picky about stuff.

This was so good!!

Here is the baking in the mug this is my favorite of the bunch well i love all the items but I just really love sweets!!

I choose the chocolate brownie cake and what a great choice that was this was so yummy all you do is put the mix in the cup add 5 table spoons of water and mix add some chocolate chips and warm for about 90 seconds and you have you a yummy chocolate cake in a mug!!

This is so easy even your little ones can make it. Of course with adult supervision.

Here it is all mixed up before cooking it.

This was so good I shared it with my son next time I am going to try white chocolate chips. The next item I tried was the pancake. This was so yummy also I love their line of food products.

I added some syrup and butter. And this was amazing and again so simple to make.

Mooney Farms Bella Sun Luci Review

Sunday, December 8, 2013

I love to cook and I love eating pretty good. I was really excited to try these Sun-dried Tomatoes from Mooney Farms I love pasta and salads but the main thing I love them in is a pasta with a white sauce it's really good. When I was younger I never really liked stuff like this but now that I am older I have a taste for stuff like this.

Mooney Farms began in 1987 as a family owned kiwi farming operation. Products were sold at the farmer’s markets in Northern California by the family members. With the addition of sun dried tomatoes, their first sale to Price Club South San Francisco changed everything. The family’s Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes in Olive Oil & Herbs sold out in a record 4 hours! Sun dried tomatoes had become mainstream and the Mooney Family had the winning recipe!

In 1994, Mooney Farms moved to a larger facility located in Chico, California to meet the growing demand for their products. Recently remodeled and expanded, the 100,000 square foot facility reflects their family’s rich history of the Mediterranean with 200 year old olive trees planted among the rows of lavender and rosemary.

The Mooney Family originates from Sonoma County and has always appreciated the natural beauty and style of Sonoma’s Vineyard landscapes and wineries which line the beautiful farming valley’s. Reminiscent of this area, they have created a beautiful rustic Italian style tasting room and storefront, which welcomes you to their family business.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Kernel Seasonings Review

Tuesday, October 8, 2013

I like to snack so when I was sent the many different seasonings of Kernel Seasonings I was super excited to try them all. They have a lot of great flavors and some of them include white cheddar cheese, carmel, butter, garlic parmesan, nacho cheddar, ranch, and so much more these were just to name a few. My husband also loved the seasoning he is always eating popcorn so these are perfect to have in the house.

Now how cute is this gift basket it came just like this in a popcorn container with all the seasonings inside not even to mention a couple bags of popcorn. This package couldn't be any cuter. I didn't even want to open this it was to cute. But I did and I am glad these seasonings are really good.

Now this is all the popcorn seasoning laid out they were pretty generous with all the flavors we were anxious to try them.

About Kernel Seasonings:

A Taste of Inspiration

While in college, Brian Taylor was looking for a way to add some pop to his favorite snack, popcorn. He started mixing what would later become the original Kernel Season’s recipe while living on campus at the University of Michigan.

Kernel Season’s Graduates

Brian teamed up with experienced flavor experts to perfect the recipes and began developing a seasoning line.

Planting the Kernel’s

Kernel Season’s Popcorn Seasoning popped overseas in 2005, shaking up the flavor in grocery stores, movie theaters and millions of homes around the globe.

Pop to the Top

Kernel Season’s is the leader in the popcorn-seasoning category, with even more flavors and on-shelf innovation coming soon!

Hormel Rev Wraps Review

Monday, September 23, 2013

School is back in session and what a great way to kick off the school year with some Hormel Rev Wraps I have nothing but great stuff to say about these and how much our family loved them. These would be great to put in your child's lunch for the day or even a afternoon snack. Or a last min meal when you need to run out the door.

As part of the Hormel Foods Extended Family Blogger Program. We were able to try 7 different flavors. These were amazing. I love the taste of the mixed meats together. Even my children loved these. Some of the flavors were pepperoni pizza, ham and cheese, italian style, spicy italian style and much more. These went really fast in the house every single one was a hit.

You can eat these straight from the refrigerator or you can warm them in the microwave. Either way would be great. For me personally I ate mine straight from the fridge and so did everyone else. Probably the pepperoni pizza one was my favorite!!

And as you can see from the picture they aren't greedy with their meat. This was very filling and satisfying.
