Mitten Crate Subscription Box

Mitten Crate is a monthly subscription box that is different from other food subscription boxes because their aim is to provide you with foods that are the pride of Michigan. We decided to give their subscription box service a try and taste some of the gourmet offerings that are included in the box.

The first thing that we noticed about the boxes that we tried is that they were heavy! This is always an awesome sign when getting a subscription box, it generally means that the samples included in the box will be good sized. Imagine our surprise when we opened the boxes and there were not any samples at all! That’s right, the food products included in the Mitten Crate are full sized products.

It’s rare that there would be a subscription box service that ships out full sized products, but what is even more rare is that all of the products are genuinely unique and taste great. We appreciate the diversity that the food in this box brings, and the deeply rooted connection to Michigan taste that is emanated in each and every bite of the food shipped to you.

We tried a little of everything and have to admit that the foodies in Michigan are on to something big! The tastes were all uniquely individual and left a lasting impression on our tastebuds. Though, my personal favorite was the Beau Bien apple mustard. I tried the apple mustard on a spicy black bean veggie burger and the combination was out of this world. The curators of this box have done a fantastic job at bringing the best that Michigan has to offer to the world.

You can get a single box or subscribe to their monthly service at MittenCrate.com

The Good Bean

Do you ever get tired of the same old snacks that all start to taste the same after a while? We do, that’s why we decided to give The Good Bean a try! Potato chips, candy, cookies, etc. are the foods that fill the pantry of most households, but none of those are healthy for you. We were looking for a snack food that is healthy, vegan, organic, that tastes good and is inexpensive. It sounds like we were asking for the world with a wish list like that, but chickpeas by The Good Bean have all of those qualities and more!

Here’s a fun fact, chickpeas are as good for the environment as they are for your body. That’s right, by eating chickpeas, you help replenish nitrogen and nutrients back into the soils that the chickpeas were grown in. Talk about a win-win situation. There are two different tasty snacks that they offer: Their all-natural roasted chickpea snacks, and the Fruit and No Nut Bar. It’s great to be able to snack on delicious foods while keeping your conscious clean.

The flavors of the chickpeas vary based on the type you choose, there are sweet choices as well as more hearty options. They offer everything from chocolate-flavored chickpeas, to mesquite bbq! Talk about variety! This is a snack that you can easily put in your backpack or briefcase and carry around with you throughout the day. It’s healthy, helps the planet, and an all-around wise choice to make when looking for snacks. For more information or to order a bag for yourself, visit them online at www.TheGoodBean.com.

Anarchy In A Jar

The world of jam and jelly has been turned upside down by one company that offers over fourteen varieties, including traditional favorites, and some not so traditional. Anarchy in a Jar is more than just a brilliant name, they make some of the worlds best tasting jams and jellies. They state that “Anarchy is freedom from food tyranny.”, and after tasting their products, I agree with them!

They sell small batch preserves from Brooklyn, NY, this is how they ensure the high quality of their product and exceptional flavors that no mass produced jam is going to be able to give you. They include an extra ingredient that no “big-box brand” has, that ingredient is love. It’s true, it even says so on their website!

If you’ve ever tried a food product that was produced in a small quantity and quality ensured by the artisans who made it, then you probably already know that there is no comparison. You simply won’t be able to buy the eccentric and pleasing flavors that Anarchy in a Jar offers anywhere else. The good news is that people are starting to realize how great their lineup of jam, jelly, marmalade and chutney taste and you can find them in select Whole Foods and other retailers. However, based on their delicious product, we suspect you will be seeing a lot more of them everywhere that food is sold!

The Crispery Crispycakes

If you’re like me, you have to have something sweet to snack on just to get through the day. The problem that I have encountered is that sweet foods generally aren’t very filling, and leave me hungry and wanting more. The Crispery is a company that is helping solve that problem for me and others who face the same dilemma.

Crispycakes are their specialty! These are handmade crisp rice marshmallow treats, and trust me, they taste as amazing as they sound. These delicious treats have a lot going for them. The first thing you’re going to notice is the variety and flavor choices. There’s a Crispycake for just about everyone.

You would think that these rice desserts would arrive hard and impossible to chew, but that isn’t true in the least. They are as fresh as ever when you open them! They are sealed in packaging that obviously captures the freshness and keeps it that way so that you can enjoy it anywhere you might be located. You’re going to get a thick and pillowy cake that is packed full of sweet and slightly crunchy rice bits and other special flavors. This next part is going to really surprise you.

How much would you expect to pay for a yummy and unique dessert like the one I just described to you? $10, $15, more than that? Crispycakes at The Crispery go for around $4! At that price, anyone can afford to treat themselves to a dessert like this. There’s so much about this company and their product that impresses me, and I highly recommend that you check out www.TheCrispery.com for more information and to order a few for yourself and friends!
