Review: Gourmet Brownie Sampler

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Illusional

Ever since I was little, sweets have always been my thing. Even today as an adult, I don’t care what the menu looks like as long as there is a fabulous dessert variety waiting for me to taste. So when I received this gourmet brownie sampler from Gourmet Gift Baskets.com I was pretty much in heaven! Brownies are delicious and when made right, they are so worth that 20 minutes of cardio I’m gonna have to do later.

These brownies are exactly what they say they are. Delicious, moist and definitely gorumet brownies. They’re not your run-of-the-mill Betty Crocker brownies and these will make you reconsider buying that little 0.99 cent box from Walmart ever again. These are the perfect kind of brownies to give as a gift, or impress a loved one. Know somebody with a sweet tooth? You’re sure to win them over with these. The sampler comes with six different brownie flavors:

· Belgian Chocolate Chunk
· White Chocolate Macadamia Blonde
· Butterscotch Blonde
· Cheesecake
· Peanut Butter
· Fudge Walnut

All of which are very delicious and will make your tastebuds wanna sing praises. Included with these delicious brownies, is a little card containing the calories and dietary notes you need, including the ingredients so those will allergies can be sure they know what they’re getting into. The price is more than worth the indulgence you will enjoy and these enticing flavors will leave you wanting more.

My personal favorite is the Belgian Chocolate Chunk and the Cheesecake. All of them were very moist and chewy, and had very distinct flavors that will definitely please any palette. The Belgian Chocolate Chunk was exactly as described and every bite was overflowing with chocolate taste. Definitely for the chocolate lover extraordinaire! I hope you enjoy them every bit as much as I did!

Readers in the US can enter the Gourmet Brownie Giveaway for your chance to win the same sample pack of six brownies reviewed here.

Review: Kathryn the Grape’s Colorful Adventure

Posted on February 15, 2012 by Misfit Momma aka Missy

Written by Kathryn Cloward with Ginny Hornby
Illustrated by Christine Winscott
Story created by Kathryn Cloward and Jennie Lapointe
ISBN 978-0-9829277-1-7 (Kandon Publishing)

BLING! You are colorful! Join Kathryn the Grape and her magical butterfly friend Maggie, on an imaginative colorful adventure as Kathryn the Grape discovers how to make her colorful rainbow shine. With help from Maggie and a special charm bracelet, readers learn beautiful life lessons while discovering how to shine their colorful light into the world.

The moral behind Kathryn the Grape’s Colorful Adventure is excellent for young children, especially for those with multiple siblings. If you’ve ever worried that your child might be feeling left out, unimportant, less loved than others, or in other words suffer with low self esteem, this is the book for you.

The illustrations are nothing but fabulolus, with great detail and bright colors filling every page. The story, while I find it to be on the lengthly side for reading aloud, is an absolute delight. What I love the most about the Kathryn the Grape stories is the strong message that everyone is equally important.

The adventure starts with Kathryn feeling sad because her family wouldn’t listen to her at dinner. Quite upset from the argument at the dinner table, she heads to her room feeling alone and unloved. Maggie, her magical butterfly, then surprises her with a charm bracelet so that Kathern can learn that she is not invisable, but colorful. Each charm on the bracelet represents a color of her rainbow and they begin to shine as we learn the meaning of each one: Belonging, excitement, trust, love, to say what you are feeling, seeing with your mind and your eyes, and learning.

By the time the last charm on her bracelet is shining, Kathryn’s own mood has gone from sour to magical. We all feel left out sometimes, and a boost of self esteem can be just what we need.
