My little food critic

This is just one of those stories, you will tell again and again. It's one of those stories you tell when your child is in their 20's, or starts cooking as a teen. It's laughable, I hope it will bring every mom laughing, because it is just too cute. So here goes. We were watching "The Iron Chef" on food network. I would say it is one of our favorites shows, and I wasn't a big fan at first, now I am. I decided to use my mixes I had in the cabinet, and use the left over ham for soup. I made split pea ham, basil beer bread (with sprite) and sugar free chocolate cheese cake. Well, if you've seen the show you know there are three judges. They all critic the different dishes, and who is glued to the t.v. My six year old Becca loves the show. So my first course (and only), split pea soup with bread. I am eating in front of my computer and watching, and she says, "Momma the soup has a little too much pea in it" LMAO...if you've ever watched the show it was funny, because a judge will say something like, "you have this, or a little too much of that" Well it was funny to this mom, my little food critic. It was funny because, a little too much "pea"? It's pea soup!!! I hope that gave you a little giggle. And oh yes, Ms, Becca has already started planning her 7th birthday. That is in March! KIDS!

My opinions of wahms products and reviews

First I will give my opinions on these three products. I say my opinions because these companies did not know I reviewed products, nor did they give me permission to do so. However, I did buy these products, this is my blog, so I'm giving my opinion.

Peddlers kitchen

I bought 2 items from Peddlers Kitchen, the salsa mix, and tortilla soup.

Both were way to spicy for even me, how ever, I had a solution to that. I would like to commend Peddlers Kitchen for the ease of putting the recipes together. As a busy mom, networker, nurse, I love easy quick meals. Peddlers kitchen was affordable as well.
To solve the spiciness of my situation with the soup, I added more water to the soup, when that did work, I added less than 1/2 cup of water to my bowl. Very tasty, and the soup will go a long way. Packaged it doesn't look like there will be enough ingredients, but believe me, this soup is hearty, in my opinion. I like the tortilla chips Gina Langley chose for her soup. If there's anything I had is having soggy chips or crackers right off the bat in a soup.


Salsa mix
Again, very spicy, but I added another can of plain diced tomatoes to the mix. Still spicy for me, but the kids ate it up, and loved it. In my opinion, neither mix is for the faint of heart. If you like your food bland, you won't like this. However, if you like spice, this is for you.

I am not sure of the peddlers kitchen url, but give me some time, I will post here later.



Product Reviews

Mineralicious
http://www.mineralicious.com

I won a Mineralicious grapefruit scrub from the owner Chelle Barnett at an online vendor party. This was several months ago and I still have plenty scrub left. Chelle packages it nicely. Upon opening the scrub, the fragrance is very nice and not overpowering. It looks waxy, but lathers very nicely, and you do feel like it is cleaning your skin. The granules she uses for the scrub do not scratch or irritate like some scrubs can. I will definitely be forward to the products at Mineralicious even though I sell for two other mineral makeup companies!


Jordan Essentials
clay mask
I got this from Kelly Wood who is a Jordan Essentials representative. This scrub is creamy and thick, and you just know it is doing it's job. Easy to rinse off and doesn't cake on like some scrubs can. Kelly offers excellent customer service to her customers. I will definitely be shopping with Kelly again.
