It’s been a while (a long while!) since I’ve done a product review, so I thought this month would be a good time to add a new post to this category. Today I am reviewing Icelandic skyr. Skyr is a thick, strained yogurt, similar to Greek yogurt, except it seems to be a little milder […]
I’ve tried some new products recently and thought a brief review of several at once would be fun. Sillycow Farms hot cocoa mix in Chocolate Ginger Snap. Here in Naples, I found this product at Seed To Table grocery store. I’ve always enjoyed the Chocolate Chocolate version of their hot cocoa mix; it is my […]
Mmmm, what’s not to love about the smell of a fresh pot of coffee in the morning? Ok, maybe not everyone is a fan of coffee, but growing up in an Italian family, coffee was at everyone’s place setting. Even mine when I was a young girl, albeit I was served decaf. I only drink […]

Their butter is made from the milk of Irish grass fed cows […]

Though the thought of it may conjure up images of bodybuilders purchasing 55 gallon drum size containers of the product from their local health food store, the truth of the matter is that many people – not just athletes – can benefit from adding whey protein to their diets. Whey protein contains all […]
From time to time, I like to review products so I can make recommendations to my clientele. Today I will be comparing two products: LMNT Electrolyte Drink Mix and Vital Proteins Hydration + Collagen. LMNT’s electrolyte powder is strictly an electrolyte supplement containing sodium, potassium, and magnesium, with no frills. It comes in multiple fruit […]
