Recently we attended the Natural Products Expo West. It was mind-boggling, over whelming at times and absolutely fabulous.
The products and companies have a criteria that they need meet to be able to be part of the expo. There are very high standards which is exactly what we want and expect for our lives. Here are a few of our favorites and we’ll be sharing more in the future.

I have a weakness for hazelnut chocolate. Big time! Rigoni di Asiago‘s Nocciolata Organic Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa and milk is a bit of heaven on earth. Okay … more than a bit. It’s pure heaven! There are many things that you can do with it but my fav is adding a dollop or two to my favorite vanilla Double Rainbow ice cream. Heaven I tell you!

Rigoni di Asiago also offers a variety of Organic Fruit Spreads. Just think homemade bread fresh out of the oven with a slather of wild berries. I’d also like to give the Italian Mandarin Honey a taste!

We use a variety of herbs and spices in our kitchen. It’s the perfect way to add flavor. We buy organic but have found it’s not always easy to find the variety we’d like.

Not only does Gustus Vitae have a large variety of seasoning but they also have salt-free seasoning and gourmet salts. And I’m loving the little cans they come in.

I love a good fruit and grain bar. They’re perfect for a quick bit on the go. This Bar Saves Lives is not only organic but the name states exactly what it does. It saves lives.

For every bar you buy, This Bar Saves Lives, non-profit partner, makes a life-saving packet of food and sends it where’s it’s needed most in the world. It’s awesome!!

In just a few days we will be in full-blown summer mode in the western hemisphere. Picnics, family reunions, potluck dinners, barbecues and so much more.

Makes me think of tortilla chips. My absolute, all time favorite is Late July. These organic GMO free chips are light and crispy and down right addictive!

We always have juice in the house. Mostly for the grandkids but for us too. We’re quite picky about the juice we buy though. It has to be pure natural juice and cannot be from concentrate. That’s a hard combination to come by. Eden Foods is one of the best choices we have found.

You can find fruit products, grains, beans, condiments and more at Eden Foods. I’m really loving their supply network map that shows where the products are actually grown. Good show Eden!!

As much as we try to eat fresh homemade meals everyday sometimes life gets in the way. That’s when companies like Luvo can save the day and keep you from stopping to grab unhealthy fast food. Luvo believes food should be good for you, delicious and accessable.

That would be wonderful to attend. I like the herbs & spices and the fruit spread best.
