These crispy onions are versatile and can be used in just about everything. I've tried them out on leftover pasta, on a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich, on hotdogs, and burgers. And I'm sure I could try them on other things like salads and noodles too! I like that there are no additives or flour fillers in them. Very back-to-basics. Their ingredients list on the package is literally only 2 ingredients: onions and sunflower oil. You can't get much more basic than that! I love the simplicity and knowing what's going into my body.

I received vitamin C vitamins from AOR Health and Butterly to test and review. Vitamin C is an important nutrient to maintain in your diet. With fruits and veggies being out of season in the winter and not being on sale as often, I know I’m not getting enough vitamins in my diet. Because of this, I make sure to supplement my diet with vitamins so that I don’t experience any deficiencies. Did you know that a severe vitamin C deficiency is what causes scurvy? Yes, scurvy. The pirate disease. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient necessary for the production of collagen which is a key component for the development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums. I like that these pills are vegan, non GMO and Gluten Free, and made by a proudly Canadian company. You only need 1 capsule daily with food for your full day’s requirements of Vitamin C.

This cream comes in a beautiful blue frosted glass container, and smells floral but not overwhelmingly so. It applies so luxuriously as well. It is super thick but absorbs well and makes my skin feel buttery soft. Some lotions make my skin feel itchy when I apply them after shaving, but this body cream did not cause any irritation at all which is a win in my books!

I received the Paderno Dorset Large Coupe Stoneware Bowl Set 2pk to test and review from Butterly / Canadian Tire. They are very classy and very large in size! You can use them to elevate your dinner party setting or they are large enough that they make excellent fruit dishes. They’re very large and would be best to serve pastas or large leaty salads. These bowls are dishwasher, microwave, freezer safe, and oven safe up to 425°F — which makes them extremely versatile. -

This space heater may be small but it's very powerful. Despite standing at only 18" it was able to heat up my entire living room. It's not too loud and the oscillation helps to spread the heat. I also like the timer functions and variety of heat functions because it will turn off if I forget to do it myself and can keep your space at your comfort level for warmth. The only comment I really have about the functionality is that the off button doesn't turn off the device as fast as the instruction manual says it will. The instructions say that the device takes 15 seconds to turn off because it needs to expels all of the hot air inside. However, I did time this process and it's actually double that at 30 seconds. This isn't an issue, but rather a small editing error that may require someone updating the manual.

I was nervous to try the Jackfruit Kebabs because the packaging didn't mention the taste and the cooking instructions were a little vague. The Pan and Grill instructions are listed together, and it mentions needing a Tablespoon of oil to pan fry, but no indication of how long or what temperature, like high medium or low. I'm no stranger to winging it in the kitchen though, so I decided to pan-fry at medium heat and cooked each side until it was golden all over. The kebabs also don't come with skewers which surprised me, because the package showed skewers but didn't mention needing to supply your own. They did however, have holes in the kebabs meant for skewers. Fortunately for me, I had some of my own skewers and used those.
I was pleasantly surprised by how flavourful these kebabs were, and how similar they were in taste and texture to a sausage. I will. note that these kebabs were a medium spicy, which would have been nice to have listed on the packaging somewhere. I personally don't mind some spice, but everyone has different heat tolerances and that can definitely surprise or throw off someone who expected the product to be mild or wants to feed a picky child.
I served my kebabs with some seasoned rice and it made an excellent weeknight dinner. Overall, I did enjoy these kebabs, and could imagine using them in more versatile ways like crumbling the jackfruit 'meat' on a pizza or serving it as a 'breakfast sausage'.

The Stingin' Hot Honey Zombee Edition is the perfect mix of sweet and very spicy. It's extremely versatile and can be paired with so many things. So far I've tried it on a grilled cheese + bacon sandwich, pizza, burgers, and chicken tenders. It's added the perfect sweet but spicy kick to everything I've paired it with so far. And I think that it would pair well with other things, such as being used as a chicken marinade or even drizzled over roasted veggies. I can't wait to try pairing this with other meals and snacks.

As someone who doesn’t get enough fruit and veggies in their diet, adding a multivitamin like the Swiss Natural Total One Multi Vitamin & Mineral for Women is integral to maintaining my health. I take them 1x a day with a meal to help make sure I’m getting the minerals and vitamins that I’m lacking. This multivitamin is great because it’s formulated with calcium, cranberries, vitamin C & D, and B vitamins to specifically meet the nutritional needs of women under 50 like me. And they don’t have any preservatives, artificial colours, dairy, wheat or gluten. And if you’re like me and thinking that looks like a tough pill to swallow (pun intended) they easily snap in half so you can have them in smaller portions! -

This edamame spaghetti cooked perfectly in 4-6 minutes and it came out firm, not mushy and tasted almost like regular pasta. The only thing that didn't make it feel like authentic pasta was the texture. It wasn't smooth and slippery like regular spaghetti and had a slightly thicker consistency, and while that didn't bother me, that could bother someone who is looking for the same texture/feeling as regular pasta. I used it to make a garlic parmesan pasta, and I think that it would also be perfect for stir fries or ramen. And who doesn’t like pasta? It’s a quick and easy dish for an evening dinner if you have a busy lifestyle. And as someone who has been more mindful lately about adding more protein and fibre into their diet, I would definitely repurchase this.

This sparkling non alcoholic wine is perfect for any celebration. I can definitely envision myself drinking this for a cozy night in with my husband, or even for a Christmas, New Years, or Thanksgiving celebration. It tasted very close to the real thing, and was crisp, sweet, light, and bubbly, and had strong notes of citrus. I really enjoyed this wine and found myself going for seconds (maybe even thirds) because it was so refreshing. I'm sure it would pair exceptionally with orange juice to make a mimosa as well!
