Wild Sweet Nibs

Love sweet nibs and these sweet nibs are sweet. Other nibs I have tried in the past were just bitter and unless you mixed them into recipes they weren't that good, but these Nibs are delicious.

I was also sent some wild chocolate that I mixed up with other ingredients for homemade hot chocolate. Yummy!

Sweet Nibs are a great item to add to your baking supplies and while you are at it you can snack on a handful while preparing your recipes.

Wild Foods has a whole bunch of vegan, non GMO, Fair trade items to choose from.




You can find Wild Sweet Nibs here and Wild Chocolate here.

Multiple uses for Silicone Baking Mats

One thing I have love about baking is using Silicone baking mats. Wish they were here growing up. My mother wasn't much of a baker so what I do I learned mainly on my own with little tips over the years from here and there.

I swore being a mom I would teach all of my children to cook, bake, and grill. So far we have made that happen. Everyone loves to try new foods, baking, cooking, grilling.

Silicone mats are one thing that is uses in the kitchen in several ways from baking, cookie cutting, rolling dough, and play mats for the kids when they are playing with play doh.

You can find the PhatMat on Amazon.

Silicone Baking Mat Video Review

Silicone mats are used quite often in our home first off to protect our pans, while keeping clean up to a minimum. I have several sheets so that I can take a batch of cookies out just by pulling the whole mat off and putting on another one full of cookies, Great way to cool your cookies while still having the next batch inside the oven. I have about 6 -8 pans ready at any given time during full blown baking season which starts right after the 13th of December which is the last Birthday in our home until close to Christmas. I like the last few days to be all about the Holiday dinner and being able to enjoy our guests.

Silicone baking sheets are non-stick, can be used on pans, or for when we make pies we just put a silicone baking sheet right on the racks to protect our oven from spills. Also great for use on the table  for when you are rolling out dough, making biscuits, or cutting out cookie shapes. So many uses for one item.

Baking Season must have

Baking season will be in full swing soon so my silicone baking mats will each have their day in the sun, well the oven anyways.

Silicone baking mats are my go to whenever we are baking treats for family and friends. These sheets are a bit large so you the best pan for their use is a 18 by 13 pan which is more of a professional size pan or jelly roll pan size if you will.

Easy to use, protects your baking, easy to clean, and leaves your baking pans clean.

Bento box dividers

These little gems have so many uses from baking, making crafts, chocolate concoctions, sorting items, to making lunches look awesome and exciting.

You get 2 of each color in red, blue, green, pink, orange, and yellow. These look super cute in the bento style boxes I reviewed a while back.

The girls love grazing more than eating a whole meal while they are out and about so this works great for day camp, car trips, and playground runs for us.

I can put a little of this a little of that and they will be happy because they have an array of delectable morsels to choose from.

You can find these little muffin liners on Amazon.

The Perfect Pair

Now this is something that I am really in love with. I can get my roasts ready, stick in my probe, set my iPad mini, plop the roast in the oven, and go about other things while waiting for my roast to reach the perfect temperature. 

Handy suction cup keeps it attached to the counter, the thermometer is attached to a cord that reaches into the oven with plenty of room to spare. The Meat claws are great for making shredded pork, chicken, or beef. Makes a job just a bit easier then using regular dinner forks. 

A perfect pair for the meat eaters out there.

You can find the Redi Check thermometer on Amazon.
