Absolutely Amazing Ambrosial Granola

For some, a snack that falls into the category of healthy foods simply isn’t enough. Our foods need to be special – produced in the most environmentally friendly manner possible while at the same time giving us both flavor and nutrition. The desire to produce high-quality food like this is exactly the reason why Ambrosial Artisan Foods was born.

Granola We’re not talking about just any kind of food, though. We’re talking about insanely delicious Ambrosial Granola. These granola products are delicious, organic, and are inspired by the free-loving way of life Anastasia Makoulis learned growing up in the Mediterranean. All of the grains, seeds, nuts, and fruits used in Ambrosial Granolas are not only organic but have undergone as little processing as possible in an effort to maintain their integrity and taste.

Ambrosial Artisan Foods specializes in three main products: Organic Athenian Harvest Museli Fiber Boost, Organic Grecian Grove Antioxidant Blend Granola, and Organic Venetian Vineyard Omega-3 Granola.

Museli has long been considered an excellent source of fiber and this delicious blend is no exception. It includes goji berries, apricots, raisins, dates, pumpkin seeds, and hazelnuts – all blended together to create a low-fat, wheat-free, kosher, and vegetarian treat you have no excuse for not enjoying.

The granola blends are amazing as well. The Grecian Grove Antioxidant Blend combines apricots, raisins, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds to create a healthy threat with a distinct and satisfying taste. The Venetian Vineyard Omega-3 Plus Granola incorporates flax seeds, cashews, and walnuts along with a series of spices to create a snack rich with the Omega-3 fatty acids we all need. Both granola products are wheat-free, cholesterol-free, kosher certified, vegetarian approved, and 100% delicious.

Words can’t describe how delicious these particular organic granola treats really are. You’ll have to visit Ambrosial Granola for yourself to find out!

Bella Cucina - Amazing & Artful Italian Foods

The consumption of food is about more than nutrition and balance. Food is about experience – a blend of togetherness with great taste to make memorable moments in life – snapshots you’ll never forget. Creating delicious foods isn’t a science – it’s an art. That’s exactly how the owners of Bella Cucina Artful Food feel about each and every product they create.

Citrus_crate The idea for Bella Cucina started in the early 1990’s at a café in Atlanta, Georgia with the same name. The food was so delicious that the customers often asked for samples to take home and enjoy later – pestos, appetizers, even condiments. From these experiences, the artisan food business known as Bella Cucina was born.

Not sure where to start? Try the amazing Panini spreads in Garden Herb, Kalamata Olive, and Spinach Arthichoke Bruschetta flavors. Looking for something with a little more bite? Try the Farmhouse Olives, Citrus Fennel Olives, or Lemon and Garlic Marinated Chickpeas.

The pestos created by Bella Cucina have always been a hit. Favorite flavors include Mint and Pistachio, Roasted Eggplant, Walnut Sage, Savory Pumpkin, and Sweet Vidalia Onion. Their collection of flavored oils and vinegars will complement any cook’s kitchen with aromas ranging from Mediterranean Tangerine Aromatic Oil to Olio Santo Chili Pepper Oil.

We had the opportunity to sample some of Bella Cucina’s Aromatic Savory Salts as well as some goodies from one of their delectable boxes of spreads. Each had an amazing taste with flavors that lingered pleasantly on the palate.

Anyone who enjoys fine Italian cuisine but doesn’t have time to create these types of artful creations at home should definitely consider visiting Bella Cucina Artful Food online. With such a wide variety of appetizers, spreads, condiments, pastas, and even desserts to choose from we’re sure you’ll have no trouble finding yourself a satisfying treat!

Crisp, Clear Tastes from Cold River Vodka

Developed by Lee and Donnie Thibodeau, Cold River Vodka is one of the finest spirits available today. Growing up in the heart of Maine’s potato country, the brothers loved listening to the older men in their lives talk about turning potatoes into vodka but it wasn’t until much later in life that those stories turned into something much more – the birth of Maine’s very own vodka distillery. After partnering with friends Bob Harkins and Chris Dowe the group set off on a journey to make the finest vodka possible using only ingredients from Maine.

Vodka Cold River Vodka has a distinct reputation in both the agricultural and spirits-producing industries. The agricultural industry recognizes the company as one that has found a way to utilize Maine’s local crops in a productive manner. The spirits industry is simply astounded – as Cold River Vodka is the only distillery in the United States that plants its own potato crops, produces the vodka, and bottles it all in the same place.

The vodka produced by Cold River Vodka is 100% gluten free. Every batch is made small and is triple-distilled, ensuring that the end result is the smoothest and clearest vodka possible – a demanding flavor with just a hint of underlying sweetness.

Sadly, Cold River Vodka isn’t sold all over the country. It can be found primarily in the New England section of the United States and in a few other states. These include North Carolina, Florida, and Indiana. If you’re dying to try Cold River Vodka you can contact the company and they’ll help you to locate the nearest retailer or restaurant serving it.

Hunting down a bottle of Cold River Vodka will be worth every second you spend on the task. We had the opportunity to sample both their regular and blueberry flavors and have never tasted anything quite as delicious. Use it to blend your favorite cocktail, let it add flavor to your favorite dishes, or simply drink it straight. No matter what you do you’re bound to agree – Cold River Vodka is definitely special.

Gorging on Gourmet Pepper Jellies from Brimstone Originals

Every holiday my grandmother used to bring out a block of cream cheese covered in jelly. As a child, I turned up my nose. As an adult, I’m more than happy to smear the nearest cracker with her favorite peppered jellies. Next time I have guests in, I’ll add my own contribution to the table – a gourmet pepper jelly from Brimstone Originals.

Brimstone The jellies made by Brimstone Originals are some of the finest you’ll find on the market today. They’re made with 100% natural ingredients and are completely free of artificial preservatives and additives. In an era where cooks are scouring nutrition labels, you’ll be happy to find that all of the jellies made by Brimstone Originals contain 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 MSG, and lower sugar contents than any of their competitors.

Brimstone Originals has created a line of jellies you’ll be proud to have in your pantry. The Hot Pepper Jelly can be easily added to Thai peanut sauce or used as a wing dip while the Medium Pepper Jelly goes great with cheese and crackers or as a dip for your favorite coconut shrimp. The Cranberry Pepper Jelly, Pineapple Pepper Jelly, and Burgundy Wine Pepper Jelly are all delicious additions to your culinary repertoire as well. The jellies are great on their own and also make excellent marinades.

Florida natives will find Brimstone Originals in local stores but the rest of us will have to purchase our favorite jellies online at the Brimstone Originals website. Those who’d like to start their collections with all six delicious flavors should take advantage of the Brimstone Originals Pepper Jelly Promotion. Purchase five jars of jelly (any flavors you want) and receive a Burgundy Wine Jelly for free.

Brimstone Originals products are all made in the USA and have a shelf life of up to 4 years – even after the jar is opened. These gourmet pepper jellies are worth trying out at least once. We’re pretty sure that once you’ve tasted them you’ll never want to be without them!

 

DennyMikes....Right on 'Cue!

Summer is just around the corner and what does that mean? Barbecues, cookouts, picnics, and plain old fun in the sun! There’s just one problem. The foods you’re preparing to grill may not be properly seasoned!

Here’s where DennyMike’s ‘Cue Stuff, Inc. comes into play. This incredible company sprang into existence about 50 years ago with the birth of Dennis Michael Sherman (aka DennyMike). Alright – the truth is that DennyMike himself wasn’t actually introduced to Texas-style BBQ until the early 70’s, but from then on he was hooked. He fell in love with “’cue” and spent years tasting seasonings and sauces from all over the country. Then, in 2002, he ventured back to Old Orchard Beach, Maine where he opened DennyMike’s Smokehouse BBQ and Deli – featuring his own line of distinct BBQ sauces and rubs.

DennyMike's favorites include the tangy Carolina-Style sauce, the rockin' Chick Magnet Southwest rub, and the sizzlin’ hot Cow Bell Hell spicy rub. Seafood lovers will especially enjoy the Fintastic Savory Seafood Seasoning, featuring a citrus flavor that blends decadently with both salt and freshwater fish.

Not sure which of these, and the dozens of others available, you’d like to try? We highly recommend checking out the Full BBQ Gift Set. The set features smaller sizes of almost every sauce and rub available and is made complete with recipe cards bound to transform your kitchen into a barbeque haven!

Those local to Maine will have no trouble finding DennyMike’s ‘Cue Stuff in local stores, but anyone outside of the immediate vicinity will have to order their favorites online by visiting the DennyMike’s website....which is totally awesome! Easy shopping, cool games, hot barbecue recipes, and a National Barbecue Calendar! Plus a great array of cooking demonstrations! We got hooked on there for quite some time. And we guarantee you’ll be hooked for life after just one barbeque using DennyMike’s rubs and sauces. They’re finger lickin’ good! PS...Congrats on your recent awards from the 18th Annual National Barbecue Association’s (NBBQA) Conference & Expo. We knew you were good!
