Veggie Burgers - Boring or Bold???








Product review time again...

For all of you that know me in real life then you know I am strictly a meat and potatoes woman.  I hardly ever try new foods and new cuisines as it is all 'Greek to me', if you will forgive the pun.

When I got into the BzzAgent campaign for MorningStar Farm vegetable products, I just figured that maybe, just maybe I needed to try something different. I had heard from other people at various times in recent months how many different varieties of product there are in the 'meatless' category and how the brand of MorningStar was one of the better brands available.

When I received my BzzKit with coupons, it just so happened that it was also shopping day.  I went to my local supermarket and was happy to see that I could purchase the item to try it in my regular store and that it was not a specialty item that was hard to find in a local supermarket.

I chose the Tomato Basil Pizza Veggie Burgers because I love anything with an Italian flavor to it as I have since I was younger growing up in a traditional Italian household. I decided to try them as a Saturday lunch whereas I would usually have a peanut butter sandwich or tuna fish salad since they were quick and easy. However, making the decision to actually cook on a Saturday afternoon was prompted by a need to get back to basics and reintroduce myself to my kitchen.

Upon removing the veggie patties from the package they looked to me like a pre-packaged hamburger patty with extra spices mixed in so at least I could relate that they were not some weird color which is what I was expecting.  There was several ways I could have cooked them  so I chose to just put them on my burger grill and see what happens.  They browned nicely and evenly over both sides.  I served them with a side of veggie chips.

The taste of the patty was smooth, not grainy like other veggie products I have tried.  For this you really got the taste of the tomato and basil but not overpowering. It also had the right blend of spices so it did not have an acidic afterglow.  I recommend this product and will have to try other varieties as these MorningStar Farms products are available in different flavors and for different meal times.

It was a great quick meal and will be part of my 'new' regular palate of groceries.  To see more visit https://www.morningstarfarms.com/

Spritz'n Clean Amazing Ion Phone Cleaner

I really like this product.  Cell phones and tablets are among the dirtiest technology that we cannot live without these days.  Do you realize that if you do not clean the screens of the units and continue to use them you are just piling on the germs and spreading them around? If the unit touches your skin on your face when you are using it the germs make contact and this is a perfect a Not to mention the natural oils in your hands smudge the screens and make them unreadable. This is a great product for taking care of those nasty devices and ensuring you get a shiny screen and no germs to spread. You fill the chamber with the cleaning liquid and it comes out in an ionized fine mist on the screen.  You use the special MicroChamois that is infused with silver to wipe the screen.  Silver is known to have antimicrobial/antibacterial properties. That's it.  It could not be simpler and it works!  You get a nice carrying case for the device and a nice pouch made out of the same si

Rapid Release Pain Relief That Works

I love sampling products that I know come from trusted brands and from a site that comes through with lots of awesomeness.  I am talking about Crowdtap with whom I have been a loyal user of for a few years now. This newest sampling is a brand you may be familiar with as I have written about it before a few years ago.  I am talking about Advil.  This product is a Rapid Release formula and makes it their fastest acting Advil to date.  I received my samples recently and funnily enough immediately following a short stay in hospital for a pain related malady. Coincidence? Maybe fate was looking down? Either way it was pretty incidental. The samples were such a relief because I choose not to take prescription painkillers unless absolutely supremely necessary. The way I was feeling at that moment was that I know Advil has worked in the past and I was hoping it would work this time too. I would have been disappointed not to be able to bounce back a little quicker.  However th

Sunhats in Style

Hats were never really my thing until I realized that not only did they serve a purpose but they could be extremely fashionable as well!   I really am a person who loves to go outside, but my skin does not.  Even sunscreen can and has failed me.   I was excited to try this sun hat when I saw it because I love the look of it as trendy, chic and the embroidery and ribbon around the brim just finish it off perfectly. Once I had it on it became a part of me.  I knew it was just the thing.  It fit my head perfectly and covered my eyes and face from the harmful rays.  I wore it on the Boardwalk and when I was strolling I got a lot of compliments on the style.  It is a fashion forward and yet vintage style.  The hat travels well too.  Just fold it up and unfold at your destination and in a short while it springs back to the correct shape for you to grab it and go out an enjoy the day. This hat is so cute and comes with many sayings in the embroidery that I may have to pi
