#EasterGiftGuide: Authentic Soft Australian Licorice from Wiley Wallaby! #spon
*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Wiley Wallaby for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post. All thoughts are strictly my own.
We are always looking for unique basket fillers when Easter rolls around. Typical candy is so overplayed with the amount of "candy-giving" holidays between October and March. We are always looking for different types of candy to mix things up a bit. We were pretty excited to get to try out Wiley Wallaby soft licorice and after trying it, we are even more excited to add it to our Easter baskets this year!
Wiley Wallaby makes authentic Australian licorice that is soft and chewy and bursting with flavor! They have so many great flavors to choose from, you are sure to find a favorite for everyone in your crew. Check them out:
Watermelon- The perfect taste of summer!
Green Apple- Fresh from the orchard flavor!
Blueberry Pomegranate- Where Tangy Meets Tart Meets Sweet!
Huckleberry- Delicious, juicy and oh, so wild!
Original Red (Strawberry)- A delicious twist of fruit chewy goodness!
Original Black- For authentic licorice lovers everywhere!
Black Licorice Beans- Chewy licorice inside, sweet candy outside!
Red Licorice Beans- Chewy red inside, sweet candy outside!
Allsorts- Classic licorice sweetness in every bite!
We are huge fans of licorice and it was a lot of fun to get to try out so many great varieties. These chewy treats were so full of flavor and perfectly sweet without being cloying. I loved the texture...so much more pleasant to eat than tough, stringy licorice. These will be great stuffed in Easter eggs, especially the licorice beans. If you are a fan of licorice, we definitely suggest trying Wiley Wallaby this Spring!

#WelcomeSpring with Salsa Queen Dips and Salsa! #spon
*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Salsa Queen for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post. All thoughts are strictly my own.
We love heating things up on our menu with different spices and sauces and were pretty pumped to try out this awesome selection of salsas and dips from Salsa Queen:
Salsa Queen is the brainchild of a single mom who created the company to provide for her 7 children. The product line includes pico, red and tomatillo salsas plus a creamy sauce and a cheese dip.
Gourmet Pico
Made with fresh tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic and just the right seasoning make this Salsa Queen's most popular product. It's great as is and we really enjoyed adding it to mashed avocado to make a guacamole-like spread for sandwiches and wraps.
Roasted Tomatillo
This tangy salsa has a bit more of a kick and the tomatillos really shine through. This salsa features authentic ingredients and is great for topping meat dishes.
Red Chili
This salsa is super flavorful and is great with breakfast, especially over eggs!
Creamy Jalapeno
This was the favorite of both kiddos. It's quite similar to a creamy jalapeno dip we make all the time and works well anywhere you would normally use Ranch dressing.
Queso Chipotle
The possibilities are endless for this amazing dip. The chipotle gives it a nice smoky flavor and it works well as a sandwich or wrap spread. Of course, it goes perfectly with tortilla chips!
We loved Salsa Queen as an addition to our tostada bar! B loved the smoky Red Chili:
You can't see it, but underneath all that lettuce and avocado (below) are a couple of tostadas and on top of those tostadas is a layer of Roasted Tomatillo sauce...and it was delicious with a capital D!
These products were all amazingly tasty. We could have handled a little more heat, but the flavors were so bold and tasty, we didn't miss the spice that much. I love the versatility of these sauces. They can be used straight from the fridge as chip dips, as an ingredient in a myriad of dishes or as an easy way to dress up pretty much anything you would normally top with salsa, hot sauce or dressing.

#WelcomeSpring to Your Kitchen with Grand Fusion Housewares! #spon
*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Grand Fusion Housewares for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post. All thoughts are strictly my own.
Add a few nifty gadgets to your home this Spring with Grand Fusion Housewares! This awesome brand offers a great variety of products that help you save time and money.
Check out a few of our favorites:
This cool tool empties cans in seconds. The patented double edged silicone blade touches both sides of a 2.5" can at the same time. Twist the spatula and the contents of the can will empty completely. The blade is super sturdy which allows you to remove every lost drop from cans. It's also made from food grade silicone. I love that it saves you money by allowing you to get every bit of food from your canned goods. It works great on canned dog food!
These air purifying bags are a great fragrance-free, chemical-free way to remove odors, allergens, and harmful pollutants. They also absorb excess moisture. You can use them for up to two years, by placing the bag in direct sunlight once a month for at least one hour to re-activate ingredients. We hung ours in D's closet. Our pup, Harley Mae, sleeps in D's room, so there are often extra odors in there. We are hoping this bag helps to clean up the air without adding chemicals to the air.
These liners help to absorbs ethylene gas which delays the ripening process helping extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. They are made from special FDA approved, anti-bacterial, food safe material. BPA free. I love that they help save money on produce. We buy a lot of fresh goodies and may not always get around to using up all the produce. I like knowing these liners will help our veggies stay fresher longer.
The stainless steel outer shell and BPA free neoprene inner lining provide a double thick layer of insulation helping keep your drink cold in the hottest weather. The unique design protects from drops and spills. No sweat or condensation! There’s a silicone stopper that nests inside the cap to be used to re-seal your bottle and an opener built into the cap. It's easy to clean and fits most cup holders. Great for the beach, pool, lake, golfing, boating, camping, tailgating, and more.
This squeegee has a soft silicone blade that is super durable and works great on glass, tile, ceramic, and more. The 10 inch wide super soft silicone squeegee blade wipes surfaces clean without damage. It has a 14 inch reach when closed and a 23.5 inch telescoping reach when fully extended. Both kiddos really enjoy drying the shower doors using this tool!
This gadget features a flexible silicone body with stainless steel rim. It looks great and prevents food from clogging our sink. It's easy to clean...just pull tab to invert soft silicone body. The kiddos don't always remember to dump solid waste down the garbage disposal side of the sink which means we often have to dig junk out of the drain on the other side. This tool keeps my hands clean and the kiddos think it's cool enough, they often dump it.
Grand Fusion Housewares offers a satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not satisfied for any reason, they’ll refund your purchase within 6 months of purchase. That's a win-win!
