I’m not sure what my favorite flavor of the different varieties of the Organic Soy Delicious Ice Cream sandwiches, but if I were forced to choose, it would be the Pomegranate Mini.

I have a few boxes of the dairy-free, organic soy-ice cream in my freezer and Lala and I have been enjoying them on these warm nights. The vanilla and chocolate are pretty standard, not much in terms of creative flavors. The mint is solid, and always a favorite according to my taste buds. It’s vanilla soy-ice cream with a refreshing mint undertone. The Neapolitan is very good as well. Its combination of these classic flavors in sandwich form is works well.

As I said before, it’s hard to pick a favorite, but the Pomegranate is the winner. It’s not even on the website any more, but it’s fun and unique. The sweet and tart organic sandwich rules! If you see it, pick some up!

    Xtrema Teapot

    I really like the Xtrema skillet. I’ve been using it regularly and it works really well, so I was excited to try the teapot. It starts to boil in just a few minutes, which is due to the nature of the ceramic. The problem is, regardless of the amount of water you put into the teapot, it boils over. The teapot does not whistle, so you really have to watch the water boil which isn’t too fun.

    The remaining water in the pot stays hot after you pour your cup for tea, well if it hasn’t boiled over.

    I am still using the teapot, but I know how it works, so be warned. The company’s website is finally live with links to their retailers both online and in-store.

    We will also be reviewing a pot from Ceramcor in the near future, so check back soon.

    I love my t-shirt collection and this one is high on the list of good shirts. It’s an organic cotton shirt with the recycling logo screened onto it, but with attention paid to the details of the logo. Inside the classic recycle logo contains many mini recycle logos. The green ink on black, Made In the USA, organic cotton is soft and fits like a medium should fit.

    If you buy this shirt from Brand of the Free, you are going to look really awesome around your neighborhood. I truly love this shirt and I am proud to wear it. Best part of the shirt is the tagless low impact screen-printing! Can’t mess with that or the sweatshop free, fair labor/wages and all the other green practices that Brand Of The Free uses!

    I have recently been referred to as that girl who always has her own bag. I have definitely been referred to as worse. My reusable bag collection has continued to grow this year. The newest addition is from The Great Bag Company. The moment I saw this bag I was actually excited. Sounds kind of lame, but really this bag is gorgeous! I have used it everyday for the past week for all my shopping needs.

    Being a sewer I can appreciate the time and care that was taken to create this handmade bag. The handles are cross-stitched and reinforced with cotton twill tape. It is extremely durable and can hold up to 40 pounds. Besides the attractive design, these bags have loops that hook onto the bag holder in the store. I have yet to use this feature, but have never seen another bag that offers this bonus. This bag folds nicely for storage, and the handle is the perfect length for me to carry comfortably over my shoulder.

    Great Bags are available in six modern styles along with two patriotic designs. My friends are actually jealous of my attractive bag. You will be too.

    SafeHome Duo Air Filter

    SafeHome Duo is an air filter for your home’s HVAC unit but it’s different than your average filter. The Duo appears to be backwards. The wire frame is actually inside the filter and it’s not visible because it’s hidden inside the multiple layers of both allergen and pollution trapping filters.

    I do not want to get into the tech specs of the SafeHome Duo, but I think it works. It’s hard to really judge how effective it is, but I do know a few things. I do not sneeze nearly as much as I did with the previous filter. I also do not smell the effects of candles or cooking in other rooms in my condo. I assume that is also another thing that is a result of the Duo.

    My assumptions are that the filter is effective; if that changes I will let you know. You can purchase Duo’s filters from online stores and local shops too. Check them out here.

    Four New Flavors from Purely Decadent

    We have enjoyed Purely Decadent’s dairy free ice cream in the past and there are four new flavors that we recently sampled. Read below to see what I thought of them.

    The four flavors are Snickerdoodle, Key Lime Pie, Belgian Chocolate and Dulce de Leche.

    First up, Snickerdoodle. If you have not heard of Snickerdoodles, they are simply one of the greatest cookies ever. It’s like cinnamon sugar cookie but better and this dairy-free dessert captures the cookie’s flavor into the ice cream without fail. It’s very smooth with chunks of brown sugar flavor that screams to be enjoyed!

    The Key Lime Pie is next. I absolutely loved this vegan, sweet ice cream. It was, again, like a key lime pie in ice cream form. Chunks of graham crackers with a hint of citrus throughout the dessert make this a killer.

    The Belgian Chocolate is very dark and rich. Belgian chocolate does have those properties so, again, they captured that, but it’s too much for me. It’s too heavy for ice cream and did not leave me feeling happy, but rather sick.

    Lastly, the Dulce de Leche. Oh yeah, sweetness and creaminess around inside this little pint. The caramel seems to just ooze from every pore of the ice cream. I loved it.

    If I had to pick a top one, it would be the Dulce de Leche followed by the Key Lime Pie. They are outstanding.

    Stay tuned for more Soy Delicious reviews including a guest review from our friends at Sweet Avenue Bake Shop.

    I’m a beer guy but trying a Lemongrass Cello from Loft Liqueurs is something fun and different and I’m happy I did. This is a unique taste. The Liqueur is sweet and lemony from the organic lemongrass. It goes well as a refreshing after dinner drink or with fruit. You can also mix it up with some fun recipes like the Lemongrass Martini or Margarita.

    Get crazy with it; it’s all fun and tasty. Loft offers two other flavors currently and we’ll be reviewing the Lavender Cello soon.

    The bottles are small but worth trying if you are into experimenting with spirits. You can pick them up at retailers in California and NY, according to Loft’s website.
