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/

Strong, Functional Umbrella

This is absolutely the best umbrella I have owned in a long time! It is functional and fashionable! I bought the turquoise blue because I am so tired of the sea of black umbrellas I see every time it rains. I wish more people would have bright colored umbrellas to brighten up those dreary rainy days. But I regress... This umbrella is different from the moment you get it home. You can see the difference in just the opening of it when you see the sleeve it comes in and the material the sleeve is made of. The umbrella is made of that same material. It is thicker than your standard umbrellas you can see that and the material feel is soft yet durable. When you see the handle it has the auto open/close button and a wrist strap. The feel of the handle is almost like those plush microfiber materials yet made of plastic. It felt very comfortable in hand and did not slip. When you finally open the umbrella there is a black 'powdercoat' on...

Cute and Functional Desk Accessory

This is a really cute and functional product. I got this flag for my desk for reasons of needing people to know when I am busy or not, in the office or not, have time or don't etc. It is printed on a very nice plastic and was easily wiped off when I got a little liquid on it before I installed it on the desk. The metal clip is easy to use. Just peel off the backing and position where you choose. The flag clips in easily and holds sturdily and moves in a 360 degree fashion. When I put the flag up it stays without falling. This item would be great for family reunions, tour groups, big corporate conventions, even for office accents in workers cubicles for a little touch of whimsy. You can visit their website here at Deskflags.com and see for yourself their stock designs or if you want you can call them at 615-750-5972 or e-mail customflag@deskflags.com. #deskflags Disclosure: I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and...

Over the Rainbow - Stylus

Giveaway Service kindly accepted me to review this stylus set from Acid Labs LLC. I know many people may say that a stylus is a thing of the past, however I disagree. Everyone's body chemistry is different and I have a very hard time getting screens to react to my touch. I am not sure if it is the temperature of my skin or what. That's why I need a stylus for my tablet and sometimes even my cell phone when i am relaxing and searching the web These stylus are cool to the touch, lightweight and glide easily over the screen. There was no drag while using them and the screens reacted very well to the fine point of the stylus. They come very nicely packaged in a poly/vinyl plastic pouch with a zip seal closure and a metal grommet in the top. There was even a bonus of a small screen cleaning cloth to ensure the screen stays clear from prints or marks! This set would make a very nice stocking stuffer for your favorite tech junkie! I know i s...
