(1) Blake's All-Natural Frozen Meals. Blake's All Natural is a line of all-natural and organic frozen single-serve meals. If you don't normally enjoy frozen meals, Blake's will change your mind! These tasty meals heat in the microwave in minutes, but they honestly taste like a home-cooked meal. That's because they're handmade in small batches...not in a huge plant. You can really tell a difference in the end product. I tried several flavors of Blake's meals, and all were really delicious. My personal favorite is the homey Shepherd's Pie. It features a base of ground beef and corn in a creamy sauce, topped with creamy mashed potatoes. It was filling and comforting...and ready in about 5 minutes! Other yummy homestyle flavors include Chicken & Dumplings and Chicken Pot Pie, which contain large chunks of moist breast meat -- no mystery meat here! To find Blake's All-Natural products near you, check out their handy Store Locator.
(2) Stonyfield Frozen Yogurt Pearls. One of my favorite new snacks this Spring is Stonyfield's flavorful frozen yogurt pearls. They feature a core of creamy frozen yogurt covered with an edible skin that's made from real organic fruit! They even come in a two-pack for easy portion control. Frozen Yogurt Pearls come in a variety of flavors, including: Strawberry-Vanilla, Strawberry-Chocolate, Peach-Vanilla, and Coconut-Chocolate (my personal favorite). Each pearl is approximately 2-3 bites big, and the flavor combinations are spot on! If you've ever had mocha, they're quite similar. This is one treat you don't have to feel guilty about enjoying, because each 2-pearl package is less than 60 calories. Most flavors are even fat-free! This great new addition to the Stonyfield lineup is available at major grocers nationwide.



(6) Bauli Il Panettone di Milano. If you've never had panettone, it's a lightly sweet, fruity bread-like cake from Italy. Bauli prides itself on having combined the flavor of a homemade recipe with the technology necessary to bring authentic Italian baked goods to home kitchens. With respect for traditions and ancient recipes, Bauli products are oven baked and made with no preservatives, artificial colors, or flavors. They also contain no genetically modified ingredients. Bauli panettone comes wrapped for freshness and sealed in a box. Their panettone is a holiday tradition in Italy that's made with simple ingredients: butter, sugar and eggs -- along with sweet raisins and glazed orange peel. It's tasty with a cup of tea for breakfast, but I have plans for part of my panettone. I created a panettone-apple bread pudding with an apple-brandy sauce. I'll be sharing the recipe next week, so be on the lookout!

(7) Rabbit Automatic Electric Corkscrew. If you're a wine lover, chances are removing the cork is the most tedious part of the process. What if you could quickly and easily remove the cork from your bottle of wine? Enter the ingenious Rabbit Automatic Electric Corkscrew! This handy device is the world’s first automatic electric corkscrew. To use, all you have to do is place the Rabbit on top of your favorite bottle of wine and let it do the work for you! The Rabbit automatically removes and ejects the cork – no buttons necessary. Even better, a single charge can open more than 30 bottles of wine. The Rabbit works with all cork types -- even synthetic. If that's not enough to win you over, it also features a built-in foil cutter and is rechargeable. Anything that streamlines the process to get wine in my glass after a hectic day is all good in my book!
(8) Dessert for Two Cookbook. There's just two of us in my house, making baking large batches of cookies and full-size cakes a bit of a calorie bomb. I was so thrilled to receive a copy of blogger Christina Lane's Dessert for Two cookbook. She's a Texas gal like me, and the book is infused with her sweet Southern charm! This fun cookbook is full of mouthwatering pictures...and delicious recipes for cookies, pies, cakes, and other desserts. Each recipe is scaled down to the perfect size for one- or two-person households. Some of the recipes that have caught my eye so far include Buttered Pecan Cream Puffs, Frozen Margarita Tarts, and Blackberry Cobbler with Lemon Biscuits. I'll be featuring a recipe from this cookbook in April, so stay tuned! In the meantime, you can pick up a copy of this book online at Amazon.
