The New Spring Mixes are Fabulous!

I just got to try some of the new products, and wow was I happy!

The Jalapeno dip was great! Some thought it was too spicy, but I thought it had just the right kick. ( I'm not much of a spicy fan either!)

I absolutely loved the Apple Pecan Vinaigrette!!! I sampled it over a bed of spinach. The great thing is that you can also make this into a fruit dip or make a yummy apple chicken wrap!

I made the Creamy Caribbean cheeseball, and everyone loved it! It was good, but I like the Jalapeno better. This was actually everyone's favorite dip. The recipe calls for 1 8 oz block of cream cheese, but next time I'm also going to add 8 oz of sour cream....just to soften it up some.

The last thing I sampled was the Key Lime cheesecake. I don't like key lime, so I really don't know what to say about it. Everyone else enjoyed it though. I also made this for Easter, and my family ate it up!

I haven't had the chance to make any of the wraps from the That's A Wrap Sampler, but I love how it has a special flyer that tells you step by step on how to create the perfect wrap of your choice. I'm looking forward to trying the Apple Pecan Chicken Wrap! This Sampler is great for those that make 4 meals in 4 minutes type meals. With the leftover meat from your dinner you can have a very fast, healthy, and delicious wrap for lunch. I know what Joseph and I will be having for lunch next week!

Speaking of 4m4m, you will love the Market Fresh Sampler! This includes Glad microwave steamer bags so you can make fresh vegetables of your choice. The recipe flyer pairs up different vegetables to certain Homemade Gourmet seasonings. I used one bag to make baked potatoes. The potatoes came out perfect! The cooking time is on the bag which is nice. This is a must for easy side dish options that are healthy!
