    Getting Ready for Winter With Tastefully Simple {Review}

    By 170 Comments

    Disclosure:  I received the products below to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

    Winter for me is a busy time.  It is a busy time for my blog, theres the holidays and we have multiple birthdays in our family.  Any chance for help or a shortcut I’ll take, but not by sacrificing quality.

    Luckily Tastefully Simple makes it easy for moms like me to create dishes with just a few simple ingredients.  Their products are mixes that add something to in order to create an amazing dish or treat. It’s a little extra help to make something homemade, without making a huge mess in your kitchen.  I don’t know about others but when I made anything homemade, my kitchen looks like something blew up.  While I don’t mind cooking, I hate the cleanup that goes along with it.  I also tend to have the problem of forgetting an ingrediant from the store and then not being able to make the recipe.

    Like I said Tastefully Simple requires just a few simple ingrediants plus a Tastefully Simple product. I got the chance to check out a few of the New Fall/Winter products and I admit I’m hooked. 

    I am a dip lover and the Caramelized Onion Dip has become my new favorite dip.  All I had to add was some swiss cheese and cream cheese and warm it up.  The dip recommends serving it with a Tastefully Simple beer bread but since I didn’t have any on hand, I served it along with some pita chips and it was a hit for our movie night.  You are able to get three dips out of it or make a big batch for a party!  All I had to add was some swiss cheese and cream cheese, which I usually have on hand anyways.

    For a comfort food, I love the Gorgonzola Olive Cheese Ball Mix.  I made it the other weekend here when it was cold and rainy outside.  Since it was just me and my husband eating it, I didn’t bother forming it into the cheese ball since we were so anxious to get dipping!  I love gorgonzola cheese and olives so I may be bias over how amazing this tastes.  The picture doesn’t do it justice!

    Speaking of comfort foods, Tastefully Simple also has some great soup mixes.  I got the Creamy Wild Rice Soup Mix and it just required hot water to cook.  I think it would be awesome to add some cooked chicken too for a real hearty meal.  It makes enough for two bowls of soup.  I didn’t get a picture of this as it smelled so good I couldn’t help but eat it!

    The one simple product from Tastefully Simple that I really love though is their Wahoo! Chili Seasoning Blend.  It is a chili seasoning that gives chili that extra something it may be missing.  For me I am terrible at knowing which spices work well together and what my recipes are missing.  I usually use whatever chili seasoning we have and I admit it is usually one from the dollar store.  I never realized there was a difference in chili seasonings until I tried this one!

    Tastefully Simple are not just for you to make at home but they also make awesome gifts.  Whether you need a housewarming gift, holiday gift, or even a hostess gift, Tastefully Simple has lots to choose from.  

    Like the Triple the Fun Gift Set.  You can buy the flavors individually or as a gift set.  All you have to add is the liquor and some ice to make the drink!  You could even gift the bottle of liquor required with the mixes to make it even easier for the person your giving it too!

    Whatever you need, Tastefully Simple has a lot to offer and their prices are quite reasonable.  Most of the products are for a couple uses so that makes the products even better that you get your use out of them. After everything I tried tasting good I have a feeling that you can’t go wrong with anything from Tastefully Simple!

      I would have to say I really cannot wait us Wahoo! Chili , well actually my youngest has become a HUGE chili maker in the house. He would love it if he had a spice just for him.

      I’d like to try the pumpkin spice cheese ball mix. I’ve never tried this product. Looks like some interesting “simple” ideas.

      It’s been so long since I have been to a Tastefully Simple party but recall that their products were wonderful. I would love to try the Garlic Garlic.

      I have not had an opportunity to try any of these products yet. If given the chance, I would love to try the Pomegranate Blueberry Margarita Mix. That sounds absolutely delicious!!

      I’d like to try the Wahoo! Chili seasoning blend! Chili always can use some extra seasoning and I bet this one is uber yum!
