To wrap up our pasta journey, we made a creamy garlic penne using Catelli PROTEIN+™ Penne, and wow, this was comfort in a bowl. The pasta cooked to the perfect bite in about 9 minutes, and we could really tell the quality was there.
This penne didn’t just soak up the creamy garlic sauce it complemented it. The high quality durum wheat flour and plant based proteins in the pasta gave it a robust, satisfying feel that held up from pot to plate. You’re getting 17g of protein per serving, without any weird texture or aftertaste that some alternative pastas can have.
It’s vegan, non GMO, and absolutely family friendly. We’d make this again in a heartbeat, especially because it’s fast, filling, and versatile enough to go from a weeknight dinner to a dinner party side dish.

On day two, we went for the ultimate comfort food: baked macaroni. Cheesy, creamy, and perfectly golden on top - this is one of those dishes that brings everyone to the table. For the pasta, we used Catelli PROTEIN+™ Elbow Macaroni, and honestly, it delivered more than just taste.
The elbows cooked up perfectly in about 6 minutes, which was super convenient. Even after being baked with a heavy cheese sauce, they held their shape and didn’t go mushy. We were impressed by the firm, chewy texture definitely restaurant quality.
What we loved most is that it added a nutritional punch to a traditionally indulgent dish. With 17g of protein per serving, this pasta made our baked mac feel less guilty and more balanced, especially for a busy weeknight dinner. Bonus points for being vegan certified and made with 100% plant based protein. You’d never know by the taste.

We kicked off our 3 day pasta adventure with a nostalgic favourite: Filipino style spaghetti. It’s a sweet, savoury comfort dish that we grew up loving, and we decided to give it a protein powered upgrade using Catelli PROTEIN+™ Spaghetti.
First off, the pasta cooked beautifully in just about 8 minutes - perfect al dente with no clumping or mushiness. We were genuinely surprised at how well it held its shape and texture, even after mixing it with our thick, meaty, sweet style sauce. The flavour? Spot on. You’d never guess this spaghetti has 17g of plant based protein per serving. The blend of chickpeas, lentils, and peas in the pasta didn’t compromise the taste at all - it still had that classic pasta flavour we all love.
This was such a satisfying and energizing meal, and best of all it’s 100% plant based, certified vegan, and Non GMO Project Verified. If you're looking for a way to enjoy traditional dishes with a healthy twist, this is a fantastic option.

Tried this coffee and honestly… it’s got me questioning if I should trade my morning routine for a life at sea.
This dark roast is no joke. Bold, rich, and smooth with a depth that seriously impressed me. It hits with deep smoky flavor and just the right amount of dark chocolate vibes. And thanks to Saltwinds’ ocean air process (yes, that’s a thing), it’s somehow strong without being bitter.
Roasted in the Maritimes, it brings the quality and flavor of a premium café right into your kitchen.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely. It’s café quality coffee right at home. No barista required.

We recently tried the Fireball Apple Cinnamon RTD and OG Fireball, and wow, we’re impressed!
The OG Fireball delivers that perfect cinnamon kick we love. The Apple Cinnamon RTD brings a fresh green apple flavor with just the right amount of tartness, perfectly balancing the smooth, spicy cinnamon taste. It’s crisp and refreshing, making it ideal for any occasion. We love that it’s ready to go making it so easy to drink.
Thanks to @butterly and @fireballca for sending these our way. Both are definitely staying in our collection!

I wasn’t expecting this much power in one can. Hatch’s Nitro Cold Brew is bold super smooth and has this rich chocolaty taste without any bitterness. You shake it until the can stiffens pour it into a tall glass and the cascade is honestly beautiful to watch.
It’s strong like really strong with 350mg of caffeine but it doesn’t taste harsh at all. Just clean and well crafted. I had it during a study session and it kept me focused without the crash.
With final exams this week this is exactly the kind of fuel I need. I’m feeling alert focused and ready to tackle anything. If you’re into cold brew that actually delivers on flavour and energy this is it. Bonus points for being brewed in Canada with quality beans. Highly recommend.

I’ve been a fan of McCafé coffee for years, and the Premium Medium Dark Roast K-Cups never disappoint! The flavor is smooth and rich, with just the right amount of boldness. It’s the perfect way to start my day. I love how easy the K-Cups are to use, and the smell while it’s brewing is amazing. Plus, knowing they use 100% Arabica beans from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms just makes me feel even better about it. If you love coffee, you’ll definitely enjoy this one! -

These spot patches are a total game changer. Anytime I feel a pimple coming, I stick one on before bed, and by morning, it looks smaller and less red. The patch absorbs all the gunk without drying out my skin, and the best part? It stops me from picking, which I know just makes things worse. Super easy to use and completely invisible on my skin. Definitely a must-have for breakouts! -
