On The Go Edamame Tropical Fusion Snacks: Gluten-Free, Low in Sodium, and Delicious

February 13, 2019 By Joi Sigers

I recently received samples of a delicious new snack I know you’ll love as much as I do. These are On The Go Edamame Tropical Fusion Snacks. In addition to Tropical Fusion, these Edamame Fusion Snacks are also available in Berries Fusion and Goji Berry Fusion.

When I first heard about these snacks, I was completely intrigued. When I’m on the receiving end of snacks, gluten-free food, seasonings, etc., my emotions usually run the gamut from excited (when I just KNOW something will be delicious) to dubious (“How is this going to taste??“). However, this is the first time I can honestly say I was simply “intrigued.”

One of the reasons why is that I am the world’s biggest edamame fan. Seriously, I am addicted. I always have at least one bag of frozen edamame on hand – usually two. I love it popped in the microwave, salted, and set right in front of me….. and I really don’t like to share.

I also LOVE edamame in tossed salads and pasta salads. Crazy delicious.

But… in a snack mix???

Like I said, it had me intrigued. Probably like the first time Popeye heard about Green Smoothies. Intrigued.

As soon as they came, I opened the box, quickly took pictures of the packets, and tore into one. Nevermind the fact that I was in the middle of cooking lunch – I had to know what they tasted like.

Suffice to say I nearly ruined my lunch by eating a packet at once.

Every single bite is delicious and nutritious.

I (obviously) love that they’re gluten-free – but that’s just one of the many things to love.

Edamame Infusion Snacks Are…

Preservative Free
Gluten-Free (worth mentioning twice)
Sulfur Free
Good Sources of Protein
Good Sources of Iron
Good Source of Fiber
Perfect for Lunch Boxes or Backpacks
Ideal to keep in the desk door for snacking

Since I’m one of those people who has low blood sugar, I always keep a snack in my purse – just in case I find myself in need of something to eat before I drop to my knees. Carrying snacks in handbags, pockets, lunchboxes, or backpacks can be tricky. Chocolate melts, cookies crumble, granola bars… well, let’s be honest, sometimes I’d rather deal with dropping to my knees. Snacks such as this are always fresh and delicious. They won’t crumble, melt, or taste like cardboard doing an imitation of oatmeal.

I’m a huge fan of granola bars, could you tell?

Visit On The Go Snacks to learn more about their different snacks – this particular one is completely out of this world.

Where to Buy: You can find On The Go Edamame Fusion Snacks on Amazon (Amazon link). I’ve linked to the Tropical Fusion variety, but the others are there as well.

Lance Gluten Free Cheese Crackers Review

August 13, 2016 By Joi Sigers

I’ve always loved the saying, “What a great time to be alive!” – its enthusiasm and happy disposition are so contagious, how could you not love it? I often borrow the phrase in my daily foodie life these days and say, “What a great time to eat gluten free!” If, like me, you have to eat gluten free OR like so many others choose to because doing so makes you feel better – I’m sure you echo my sentiments.

Lance Gluten Free Cheese Sandwich Crackers are yet another reason to shout our proclamation…. even if it means showering everyone within reach with cracker crumbs when we do so.

Here’s what’s whackadoodle – I never was a huge cheese and crackers fan, before I had to give up gluten. It was Lance’s peanut butter and crackers that I was nuts for. Yet, here I am, completely unable to get through a day without these delicious little Cheese Sandwich Crackers. They are even better than the non-gluten ones, in my opinion. I love the tiny size, too.

I haven’t tried them yet, but Lance also has Gluten Free Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers. I just found the little guys on Amazon and have already thrown a few into the cart.

Click through any of the links for more information. I’ll let you know how the PB Crackers are in a week or so. If they’re anywhere near as good as the Cheese crackers, I’ll have two new addictions.

Righteous Felon Craft Jerky from O.G. Hickory: The Best Beef Jerky, Period.

April 7, 2016 By Joi Sigers

I recently wrote a glowing Eat, Feed, Love Taste Club Box Review on Get Cooking – telling you all about the deliciously exciting subscription box program for foodies. If you haven’t read the review or looked into their big-hearted mission, I hope you’ll do so – after reading this particular review, that is.

I loved everything in the box, which is why I’ve been writing individual reviews in addition to the main Taste Club Box review. And, as a reminder, you can buy the individual products on Eat. Feed. Love. – whether or not you subscribe to the Taste Club Box.

The food item I want to shine a spotlight on today was the otherworldly delicious Righteous Felon O.G. Hickory Beef Jerky. I know what you’re thinking (because I thought the same thing when I pulled the bag from the box), “Beef Jerky is Beef Jerky…”

Not. Even. Close.

This amazing beef jerky doesn’t just stand above every other beef jerky I’ve ever had – it LOOMS above every other beef jerky I’ve ever had. Put another way, Righteous Felon O.G. Hickory Beef Jerky is the best dang beef jerky on the planet. And it’s gluten free!

Description from Eat. Feed. Love:

Even though this “OG Hickory” is a take on the classic hickory flavored jerky, there is nothing common about it. Made from all-natural Black Angus beef, this jerky promises a blast of flavor with each piece. With its tender texture and tangy pepper and smoke seasonings this jerky tastes exotic in comparison with most and suggests that its spawn from true jerky epicures. It turns a very common snack into a gourmet treat and it’s a task to stop eating once you’ve started. Read More…

If you want to taste what Beef Jerky is supposed to taste like, check out Righteous Felon O.G. Hickory Beef Jerky. You’ll never look at the others the same again…. if at all!

Review: Snyder of Berlin Gluten Free “Cheesy” Snacks (Delicious!)

March 31, 2016 By Joi Sigers

Snyder of Berlin’s Delicious Gluten Free Snacks

Snyder of Berlin (Berlin, PA) is a snack company with delicious chips, cheese snacks, and popcorn. They’ve recently introduced a new line of snacks – “Cheesy Fingers Good” – and I don’t know about you, but they had me at Cheesy.

I was sent big, beautiful bags to review on the food blog and I’m delighted to do just that.

Snyder of Berlin Cheese Curls. These delicious cheese curls are baked with real cheese, contain no preservatives, and are gluten free.
Snyder of Berlin Cheese Puff-n-Corn. This (as well as the one that follows at number 3) was one of my favorites. For whatever reasons, these “Puff-n-Corn” snacks are incredibly fun and addictive. Add that to uncommon deliciousness and we’re talking a brand new addiction here.
Snyder of Berlin Original Puff-n-Corn. While not in the “cheesy” line, this is without a single doubt one of my favorite snacks in the world. As I said above, they’re fun to eat and most certainly qualify as addictive. SO GOOD!
Snyder of Berlin Cheese Pop Corn. This is one of the best packaged cheese pop corns on the market. It’s also gluten free, so (thankfully) I can keep on keeping on. And I will!

{Review Continued Below…}

From Snyder:

The “Fun for You” refreshed Cheese Snack line is made from a new cheese formula, and is the cheesiest ever, with 2 kinds of real cheese: Hearty cheddar and Tangy blue specially blended for intense deliciousness. These Snyder of Berlin reinvigorated snacks are now available in a variety of sizes. Now with “Facts up Front”, the new packaging design is bold, bright and features beauty shots of the irresistible snacks.

Snyder of Berlin Cheese Curls are baked with real cheese, which is a secret blend of two kinds of cheese for an extra-intense flavor; additionally they are Gluten free, with NO preservatives and 0 grams of Trans fat. Snyder of Berlin Cheese Curls are available in a variety of sizes, with the best-selling 6 oz. size retailing at $2.50.

Snyder of Berlin Cheese Puff-n-Corn is bursting with cheesy-licious flavor, and is made with two specially blended types of real cheese, offering a more intensely satisfying flavor. Additionally, the product is Gluten free, with NO preservatives and 0 grams of Trans fat. With a melt-in-your mouth quality due to the unique “hulless” quality, this snack is available in Original, Cheese and White Cheddar flavors. Snyder of Berlin Puff-n-Corn is available in a variety of sizes with the best-selling 6 oz. size retailing at $2.50.

Snyder of Berlin Cheese Pop Corn has extra “cheesiness” in every bite, and is also Gluten Free, made with wholesome whole grains, and has NO preservatives. This popcorn is bursting with real cheese flavor and crunch, and has only 80 calories per cup. Snyder of Berlin Cheese popcorn comes in a variety of sizes with the best-selling 6 oz. size Cheese popcorn retailing at $2.19 and the 6 oz. size White Cheddar popcorn retailing at $2.50.

Snyder of Berlin snacks have been made in the Laurel Highlands since 1947, and as the tagline touts: “Small town pride is crafted in every bag of Snyder of Berlin”. The Barn image next to the Berlin logo reminds consumers of the bucolic countryside throughout the Berlin, PA area. The products can be found in supermarkets, convenience, mass market, and club and specialty stores or purchased online at www.snyderofberlin.com.

“Our bright, bold packaging reflects the intense, new cheese formula in every bite of Snyder of Berlin cheese snacks. This is Fun For You done right! Cheesy Fingers Good is what it’s all about!” – Jeff Leichleiter, Vice President and General Manager of Snyder of Berlin

You’re going to love all four of these snacks, but if the Puff-n-Corn varieties become a full-on addiction, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Delicious Free for All Kitchen Brownie Thins

Free for All Brownie Thins: Crunchy and Delicious

Before I get to my review of my newest favorite gluten free snack, Free For All Brownie Thins, I just want to give a huge shout out and thank you to all companies like Partners (the makers of these delicious Brownie Thins) who are making eating gluten free totally painless, beautifully easy, and completely delicious.

Now for the review…

I was sent a couple of bags of the Free for All Brownie Thins to review on Get Cooking. Like all of the gluten free food reviews I do on the food blog, the opinions and images are my own. No one even suggests what I should or should not say. So, when I say that this chocoholic’s world has been rocked and rocked but good, know this – these are my own words, straight from my own lips and my own feelings, straight from my own heart.

Brownie Thins – a New Favorite Gluten Free Snack

These delicious Brownie Thins do not taste like some gluten free snacks – you know the ones, the snacks that taste as gluten free as their name. Free for All Kitchen’s Brownie Thins do not have one single ounce of flavor that even whispers gluten free. The flavor screams CHOCOLATE with echoes of DELICIOUS!

The crunchiness of these brownie thins makes them as fun to eat as they are yummy – it also makes them a dream come true with a glass of milk or a cup of hot chocolate or coffee.

Free for All Kitchen Brownie Thins with Milk

Brownie Thins with Milk (Perfect!)

The light dusting of sea salt just adds to the addictive mojo of these little beauties. When you think about the most prominent ingredients – Dutch Cocoa, Buttermilk, and Sea Salt.. is it any wonder these Gluten Free Brownie Thins are so uncommonly delicious?

One of My Ceramic Pigs is Getting Ideas…

In addition to eating these brownie thins with coffee and milk, I’ve also put peanut butter on them, which is outstanding. Another favorite spread is good old fashioned, always delicious cream cheese.

Fantastic!

I have also made tiny little ice cream sandwiches with them by placing a spoonful of vanilla ice cream between two – out of this world good on a warm afternoon. I didn’t realize how much I’d missed ice cream sandwiches until I took a bite. Amazing, amazing, amazing.

I can also see using the Free for All Brownie Thins to build a great truffle with layers of brownie thins, whipped topping, and vanilla pudding. Throw raspberries on top and you have a dessert fit for any get together or party!

Free for All Brownie Thins with Peanut Butter – YUM!

Basically, the options and ideas are limitless because these little guys are so delicious. I was going to experiment with them by crunching them up in my food processor and making a pie crust with them, but, alas, I could not stay out of them and have eaten them all.

Hey, don’t blame me… they’re the ones that taste so addictive and delicious!

They’re delicious, crunchy, and perfect and there’s no wrong way to enjoy them, but when all’s said and done, my favorite way to eat these brownie thins is right out of the bag. One after the other after the other…

Which is why they are gone.

No problem, though.. I can order more any time I want to. So there’s hope for that chocolate pie crust after all.

I 110 percent urge you to check these brownie thins out for yourself. You will be blown away – they are just do darn good! Click HERE for all the information you need and to order your own sweet new chocolate addiction.
