Submerged In Brazilian Culture

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Each time I travel, whether it’s for an extended or short amount of time, I am always ready to get home. For me, there’s nothing like experiencing my natural elements, sleeping in my own bed, eating my usual food, etc. Brazil was the first trip I’d been on where I did not have any of those feelings. After being there for nine days, I was ready to stay and continue the journey. Sometimes when people hear the word “Brazil”, they have a sense of hesitancy. If you are one of them, this post will help you release those preconceived notions and have you ready to book a trip tomorrow! I was pleasantly surprised with the endless amount of fun I had.

French Food and Beverage Federation- Holiday Addition

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

If you have been following this blog for some time, you may have seen our French Food and Beverage Foundation review. In short, they ship you a box of French food directly from France. The variation of products is unique and really tasty! They were so good that I decided to check out their holiday box! Once again, the options came in a decorative box- (using French colors of course) which quickly made me excited about what was inside!

In the box this time, the options were mainly centered around satisfying the sweet tooth. This was perfect for the holiday party I had coming up. To start, I sprinkled the Gavottes crispy crepes around the tables, which happened to be gone in a flash! It was clearly hard for people to eat just one- including myself! The Les Comtes de Provence Organic Raspberry Fruit Spread and Bonne Maman Lemon Curd were used as a spread on crackers. They were so simple, but so delicious. If you happen to mix them together, you will have the perfect balance of sweet and tangy! Lastly, I had a raffle drawing for the Mi-Cho-Ko caramel. The only thing I regret was that I didn’t keep it for myself after hearing about how good it was! 😉

The box was not empty yet! There was one more item there- the Camargue sea salt! Although this was not used for the party, I can’t wait to bake many savory and sweet dishes with it! It will certainly be of great use! 

Considering I have raved about both boxes, it should be of no surprise to hear me say you should try them out! You will get fun and original options that’ll leave no room for disappointment!

Enjoy!
