Love with Food - October 2012 (Jump Start the School Year)

Love with Food

With the school year in full swing, it’s once again a challenge to pack healthful, tasty lunches. These delights will keep parents and kids energized and ready to seize the day. While packing your own lunch, don’t forget that you also donated a meal to hungry children all across America.

Love with Food - October 2012

Organic Pu-erh Tea from Numi

Exotic and aromatic, these unique blends of black tea are high in caffeine.

Blackberry Blossom Honey Straws from Nature’s Kick

To enjoy the floral bouquet of this liquid nectar, snip off the ends of your honey stick and stir into your Pu-erh tea.

Cranberry Orange Cookies from Natasha’s Health Nut Cookies

Made with almond meal, these all-natural baked goods are diabetic-safe, low-carb and free of gluten.

^ This cookie was pretty good! :]

Mountain Mambo Mix from Enjoy Life Foods

Free of the 8 most common food allergens, this fun trail mix includes raw sunflower kernels, apples, and tiny chocolate chips.

All-Natural Cheddar Cheese Baked Fries from Snikiddy

Gluten & what free, these crunchy snacks have half the fat of regular potato chips.

^ These tasted like Cheeto Fries but it got nasty after a while. I gave them to my 2 year old niece though and she liked them.

Applesauce from GoGo squeeZ

100% natural fruits meet our fun pouch to bring you a healthy snack the busiest of people can enjoy.

Acai Strawberry Sesame Strips from Mrs. May’s Naturals

White sesame seeds mingle with acai superfruit and antioxidant-rich strawberries.

There were 2 cards in this box, one from CloudMom and one from Love w/ Food. The CloudMom card was informative with tips like how to re-use the pumpkin pieces from the Jack O’ Lantern.  One of her ideas was roasting the seeds, “wash the seeds, coat lightly with olive oil, sprinkle w/ sea salt, and roast for 20 minutes at 350 F.” I love eating sunflower seeds, watermelon seeds, pumpkin seeds, and such cause they are so yummy! I can’t wait to make some myself :] Another idea was for the baby, “cut the pumpkin into cubes, steam and puree.” For the flesh of the pumpkin, I plan on using it for PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE!  I want to go pick out a pumpkin now! For more “practical advice, tips, & how-to videos, from one mom to you; www.cloudmom.com.”

I really liked this box because I didn’t spend too much money on it. Believe it or not but I only paid $7 for 3 months! What a steal, right?!  I can’t wait for next box to arrive! It came quickly because it was shipped from Santa Claral, California!

Have you ever tried a food subscription before? This was my first time and I really like it =]

Thanks for reading!!
