This Frugal Family

Zak Designs is amazing.  I truly mean that.  When I went looking for Fall colors, for a small family get together, I found Zak Designs.  They have this amazing Orange tableware.  It’s perfect, so I grabbed up two sets, off of Amazon.  There’s so many colors to choose from, but of course, I picked the most Fall color of all, orange! It’s top shelf dishwasher safe, but I wouldn’t microwave!  My hubby found that out the hard way.  It got really hot, but didn’t melt.  We just had to let it sit momentarily until we could dump out the water, in the bowl. The modern embossed design tastefully layers together and makes a nice addition to existing dinnerware pieces, table linen, and surrounding decor. This dinnerware set is perfect for both everyday use and special occasions. You can go, and check out all of their designs, styles, and colors on the website, listed at the top, and bottom of this post.  I love these, and will use them every Autumn for years to come.  I just got a new house, so this is perfect! I love Zak Designs, and will be dealing with them a lot in the future.  Their…

Absolutely Gluten Free My son in law bit into these.  He said they were a delight.  He ate the entire bag, in one sitting.  He said he couldn’t get enough, and he wanted more, so low and behold, I ordered him some for Christmas.  The Absolutely Gluten Free Raw Coconut Chews were a real treat, to Josh. There are plain, and chocolate drizzled.  “Both were incredible,” says Josh.  The Absolutely Gluten Free Coconut Chews didn’t last around that 23 year old.  I didn’t know if he’d like them, but he LOVES them.  I’m so glad I was able to get him something, sweet, he will love this Holiday season.

I love tea, so this review was a no brainer.  Wissotzky Tea is really delicious!  My daughter, Sarah, age 23, loves all the varieties, as does her mother.  They’ve been drinking it, since we received our package.  “It’s the best tea I’ve had in a long time,” Sarah said.  She says nothing beats a cup of tea, in the morning, while getting ready for work. There’s an amazing box set, and it’s on sale, right now.  You will love it, I promise you.  These teas are excellent, and they hit the spot.

Mighty Sesame Company Mighty Sesame Company has so many products, that are fantastic.  Everything they sent, was loved by our family.  They have it all covered, everything with sesame, including recipes on their site.  It’s a great site, and great food. My husband loved the Mighty Sesame Vanilla Tahini Bars.  He said, “They’re like heaven”.  He ate the entire box, within a few days.  He said he’d tried nothing like it in the past, but it had a great flavor, and texture.  The bars are only 100 Calories, and Gluten Free, among many other things.  The Tahini Bars also come in Pistachio & Cocoa. A twist on classic tahini. This Vanilla Tahini bar packs a naturally delicious vanilla flavor which partners perfectly with the delicate flavor of ground sesame seeds. This is true bliss! The Organic Tahini Bottle was fantastic too.  I added it to my hamburger for a sesame taste.  It was beyond delicious.  It’s vegan, and 1 ingredient. Delivering superior flavor, quality, and convenience with one ingredient in one bottle. This is surely a gift my family would love for Christmas, this year.  They have been eating it, since I received it, and even asked for more. Connect…

Gruvi is non-alcoholic, and is perfect if you want the taste of sweet drinking, but don’t want the alcohol.  My mom loves Gruvi, she’s been drinking it for about a month.  She says it’s got the same taste of those alcoholic beverages, but she doesn’t have to worry about the hangover the next morning! Sip on the stars with our bubbly, non-alcoholic prosecco (now called Dry Secco).  This is her favorite, and right now, it’s sold out.  When they get it back in, be sure to try it. This beer is a true take on an English-Style pale ale, which are known for their balanced bitterness from barley and hops.  Pale AleThe is a limited time, so if this is one you want to try, don’t wait, order now. My parents are the last of the big drinkers, so my dad tried the Pale Ale, and loved it.  Said, “It’s got a great taste, and no alcohol.  Hmm…I won’t be hungover in the morning”. There’s a lot of choices, with Gruvi, all non-alcoholic, but fantastic.  Check out their site, to see what your choice is. When you are the designated driver, but you still want to drink, this is a great option!…

The flavors are so spectacular.  I got to try Vanilla Honey, and Peppermint,  they were so perfect.  I love it.  I’ll be buying more, when I run out.  The flavors, for Mongo Kiss, are all supreme.  The Banana is my little ones favorite.  And, YumBerry is my daughter’s favorite.  They are all so spectacular.

Clorox is one of my favorite brands, so when they introduced Scrubmate, I could resist trying it.  I use it, mostly, on my pots & pans.  It makes them crystal clean.  I love how clean my Kitchen becomes when using Scrubmate.  I even used them on my stove, and I’ve never, in 16 years, see my stove sparkle like that.
