Land O Lakes Butter Spread with Seeds

What goes better together than bread and butter? This Land O Lakes Butter Spread with Seeds I received complimentary thanks to Influenster is the perfect combo with a tasty loaf of fresh bakery bread. In fact, it’s so good that it won the Best Butter/Dairy Spread Category in the 2021 World DAIRY Innovation Awards!

 

Those extra Flax, Chia and Hemp seeds not only provide just the right amount of texture that I love, they also confer some added health benefits like vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protein, just to name a few.

Even straight from the refrigerator, this butter is creamy, smooth, and easy to spread. I like the texture of seeds in all sorts of foods, and this is no exception; they add a little something extra without feeling gritty or taking away from the delicious taste of the butter. 

We’ve also used it in combination with a variety of different breads, whether it’s plain sliced wheat, italian, or french bread, plain and toasted, and it’s a great complement to them all. If you’re interested in changing up your favorite spread, or just want to try a new snack, I highly recommend giving it a try!

Nasoya Toss’ables Balsamic Vinaigrette

This chance to try out the brand-new Nasoya Toss'ables came at just the right time, since I'm changing my diet and have been on the lookout for healthy grab-and-go lunch alternatives. Toss’ables are pre-seasoned and baked tofu cubes that can be added straight to any dish you want as a meat replacement, from salad to pasta and more.

Keep in mind that they’re also vegan, gluten-free, certified organic, have no preservatives or cholesterol, and are still packed with 14 grams of protein per serving. There are two varieties available right now, Balsamic Vinaigrette or Garlic and Herb, but I was only able to find the vinaigrette in stock at my local grocery store.

The first dish I tried out with Toss’ables was a quick salad, by mixing them in with some organic power greens: kale, spinach, and chard. I found that the seasoning was spot on and very flavorful, especially if you already like the taste of Balsamic vinegar. I felt that other than adding baby tomatoes and possibly carrot shavings, the salad needed no dressing since the cubes were already so powerfully flavored. I’d say the cubes are just the right size, and yes it tastes like all other tofu and has the usual spongey texture.

Next, I decided to add the Toss’ables to some home-made ramen with a Ocean’s Halo seaweed-based broth. Since I typically throw chicken into the mix, I decided to give the Balsamic cubes a go in the broth. I thought it was a nice touch, but as far as flavoring goes it didn’t work well and I thought the Garlic & Herb would have fared better.

In the end, I really think that the Balsamic Vinaigrette flavor just wasn’t for me, and I’d have a better experience if I were able to try out the Garlic and Herb style. Tofu is an undeniably healthy source of protein, and I love that Nasoya offers it organic and preservative-free, so I can’t wait to try the second flavor and incorporate it in some new dishes.

Nasoya Organic Tofu Dumplings

Tonight we cooked up some flavorful Organic Tofu Dumplings from Nasoya thanks to Social Nature. It's a healthy alternative for those who are vegan, vegetarian, or if you're like me and just don't really care for meat. Nasoya is the first to offer fresh and not frozen dumplings to your designated grocery store. 


This is my first time trying a dumpling let alone one made with tofu, but since I’ve had pierogis before, I knew I would have some inclination toward liking them. The image on the packaging looks appealing, so I gave it a go to as a side for dinner. I was able to easily find it in the produce section of my grocery store along side other tofu products. I easily used the Nasoya store locator before I headed out to pick it up.

The instructions were simple enough to follow, and in less than five minutes they were fully cooked. I chose to pan-fry the dumplings and carefully placed all into a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. I will caution that it is very messy, so be careful of hot oil flying back at you while placing the dumplings. Let them sizzle for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden, steam with some water for 2-3 more, and voila!

However if you're not into pan-frying you could always boil them. Place dumplings in 4 quarts of boiling water for a 1 minute then reduce to a simmer. Cook for approximately 2 more minutes and scoop dumplings out and drain before breakage. 

They tasted perfectly crispy on the outside, with a soft, delicious filling inside. I loved the texture and ingredients like sautéed mushrooms, carrots, and the crunchy bokchoy. I personally dipped mine in sweet-n-sour sauce while my boyfriend dipped them in Thai pepper sauce. I also enjoyed the size of the dumplings and thought it similar to a veggie nugget. You can use them for great side, appetizer, or even the main entrée. Overall, we loved them in our household and will be planning more meals with them included.

Nasoya Organic Tofu Dumplings

#TastyVoxBox Review Influenster

Hello,

Hope everyone has enjoyed the past few weeks whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not. I like to try and remind myself to be thankful for 5 things everyday, because this life is short and precious.

Today I am thankful for the opportunity have tried and review tasty goods from Influenster from their #tastyvoxbox

The day I received the box it felt like Christmas morning and I eagerly opened to see all the goodies inside. The size and how much stuff in the box was more than I expected, so thank you #Influenster and all the brands that offered up the goodies. 

Tasty Goodies:

Yogi tea
Franks RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
French’s Crispy Fried Onions
Splenda Naturals
Kashi GoLean Shake
Country Crock
Smart Ones frozen meal

Yogi Tea

 

I received a sample pack of two different flavors from Yogi Tea that included Cinnamon Berry Probiotic Balance and Green Tea Kombucha. I seem to be hearing more and more about this tea so I was excited to try two very different teas.

The first I tried in the pack was the Cinnamon Berry Probiotic Balance and I found it intriguing and very different from what I normally drink in teas. It supports digestion by keeping a healthy balance in your digestive tract. The warming spices from the Chai and Cumin and Hawthorn Berry add a spice along with a fruity flavor. I normally don’t have digestive tract issues so unless that changes I will refer to buying this tea for a healthy option before going to medicine. I would recommend for anyone who needs to calm, relieve and promote healthy digestion.  

The second in the pack is the Green Tea Kombucha which I opened up on Black Friday after taking a small trip to one store and all its craziness I needed to feel some serenity. I absolutely love green teas and always get on a kick. There are so many benefits such as antioxidants and nutrients that help you relax and reduce weight. The taste is more than that of just a green tea and I loved that it was fruitier with the plum and passion fruit flavors.

A definite favorite. So I headed to the store to purchase more and I never realized how many flavors they had so it was hard choosing a box to settle on. 

Franks RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce

This would be the first time ever using Franks RedHot sauce and I very much enjoyed it. It’s made from cayenne peppers which add a little hint of spice to whatever you add. I decided to try it on some homemade cheesy potatoes. Yum! Gave it just a little extra flavor and kick. 
I usually can’t eat very spicy foods so I felt this was perfect for the mild lovers of sauces. I’m sure if you douse it in extra sauce you can build up the spicy-ness. For me a little went a long way. I liked it and will be trying it with new things like chicken nuggets and scrambled eggs.

French’s Crispy Fried Onions 

I was excited to receive French's Crispy Fried Onions because I already had planned on making green bean casserole for Thanksgiving. Having tried these before at family gatherings I knew they were going to be tasty. They are crispy right out of the container and taste great just on their own. The casserole turned out great and I loved the little extra crunchiness. What I didn’t know how versatile these onions actually were until I looked up other recipes. We had a little extra left so I will be trying them with my veggie burger next time.

Splenda Naturals

Having already received sample sizes of the Splenda Naturals I was thankful to have a little extra at home, but they won’t last long! I have enjoyed using the original Splenda for years, but after initially trying these I have already went out and bought a box to switch over. Mainly because I love the taste of the Naturals compared to the original and yes they do taste different! I also love the fact that they don’t have any bitter aftertaste whatsoever and it’s made from a more natural process.

Kashi Go Lean Dark Cocoa Power

#Shelfie

I decided I would give my complimentary Kashi Go Lean Dark Cocoa Power from Influenster a go after a hard workout. I was tired and had high expectations that this would relive my hunger and that the taste would be good. I was caught off guard however when I first tasted it. It literally tastes like cardboard. Knowing it was plant-based I was hoping the Dark Cocoa would be enough to counteract that. It is an acquired taste. I would recommend adding fruits, honey, and yogurt possibly with the powder to make a smoothie. I like that is very healthy and from a brand I trust, but I may be hesitant to actually buy this in the future. I do still have a lingering curiosity how it would taste in a smoothie so I may bite the bullet and buy more to get the added benefits of the protein. 

Country Crock (Calcium plus Vitamin D)

I can remember Country Crock being a staple in my household growing up. We never used any other brand except this one. Even the color of the containers are relatively the same tannish-brown. Growing up I have adapted this into my fridge as well. 

It’s great butter that works literally for everything from multi-grain bread to vegetables. The texture is smooth and spreads very easily over anything. The taste is great and this time around I decided to purchase the Calcium with Vitamin D. The sizes of the containers vary to whatever you need and are easily affordable. When I was younger we always got the large tub for our family of 5, but now with my little family we can get by for quite some time with 15 ounces.

The original Country Crock only contains 50 calories per tablespoon, so not as bad as most would think about butter. I like to use mine in moderation and it always tastes wonderful, especially on a piece of warm cornbread. Mmm!

I also made cookies with the Country Crock and they turned out delicious! I will leave a link here soon. 

Smart Ones Frozen Meal (Fettucini Alfredo)

#Shelfie

Sometimes you don't have time to make a five course meal.. wait who actually does that? I had the opportunity to choose a free Smart Ones meal and give my honest opinion. I would say it's pretty good for a frozen meal and the portions are just right. It wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping, but I did enjoy the taste. It's a simple Fettuccine Alfredo with large chunks of broccoli. I am not on the Weight Watchers program, but I do appreciate that it's only 250 calories.  However, the sodium level is a bit high. 


Overall I could see purchasing this in the future and possibly trying other meals from Smart Ones.

I received all products from Influenster for free for my honest opinions. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to try new foods, foods that I haven’t had in years and ones that I already implement in my life because they are so tasty!
