Fresh Chile Sauce 3-Pack from The Fresh Chile Co

 For Christmas eve we had a brunch with the rest of the family.  Since this included a chile relleno casserole and a bacon egg and potato casserole I thought red and green chile would be perfect with it. 

I ordered the Fresh Chile Sauce 3-Pack from The Fresh Chile Co, which included jars of Fresh Red Chile, Fresh Green Chile, and Sun-Dried Chile on sale for $24.95.  I made sure to get the mild versions of each because they can get carried away with their heat in New Mexico.  I really liked both the red and the green, they were both tasty and both had a good amount of heat to them, but I’m glad I went with the mild.  The sun dried chile was alright as well but was sweeter and just not my favorite.  I enjoyed these sauces with both casseroles as well as chips and just eggs.  I thought the green went best with eggs, red with potatoes and both were good with chips.  This was all I had with the sauces but I’m sure they would be great on so many other things.

Having red chile and green chile was a perfect addition to our Christmas eve brunch   I can’t wait to order some more and try them in many more ways.

Taco Tuesday: Omaha Steaks Skillet Meal: Pork Carnitas Kit

  

This kit was delicious, it had super tender pork that was very tasty.  The tortillas however were very tough and chewy.  The included tomatillo sauce was very good as well and went perfectly with the pork.  This kit was great except for the tortillas, and I wish there was more of the meat!  They said this kit generously serves 2-3, but it was more like barely serves 2 or 3.

 

I would and will order this again especially at the on-sale price of $14.99.

NORTHWOODS CHEESE COMPANY

CHEESE AND SAUSAGE SELECT GIFT BOX $45.99 plus shipping and a 20% off coupon code

 

Every year we have a Christmas eve dinner tradition of eating cheese, sausage and crackers. This year I ordered a NORTHWOODS CHEESE AND SAUSAGE SELECT GIFT BOX from WisconsinMade.com. Which was supposed to contain:

Wisconsin Cheddar Bar (7 oz)

Wisconsin Swiss Bar (7 oz)

Cheddar Cranberry Bar (7 oz)

Wisconsin Hot Pepper Bar (7 oz)

Also included were three meat products:

Northwoods Cranberry Summer Sausage (5 oz)

two Beef Summer Sausages (5 oz each)

 

But they said because of Covid items may be substituted.

So what I got was:

Wisconsin Cheddar with Onion and Chives (7 oz)

Salami cheese (7 oz)

Cheddar Cranberry Bar (7 oz)

Wisconsin Hot Pepper Bar (7 oz)

Also included were three meat products:

Northwoods Cranberry Summer Sausage (5 oz)

Beef Garlic Sausage (5 oz)             

Beef salami (5 oz)

We just decided to cut some of everything up and test all of it. 

The Wisconsin Cheddar with Onion and Chives was everyone’s favorite.  The salami cheese was my least favorite but still good.  The Cheddar Cranberry Bar had just a touch of sweet and was a lot better than I expected and the Wisconsin Hot Pepper Bar was very tasty with quite a bit of heat

  

All the sausages were very similar.  There was a tad of sweet in cranberry and the other two; the garlic and the salami I couldn’t tell the difference between the two.

 

After I ordered and received this gift box, I was a little disappointed that some of the items were substituted. However, I ended up with our favorite of the cheeses and got to try a few different items than I would’ve otherwise.

All of the cheese and sausages were very tasty, and I would definitely buy this again or some of their other varieties!

This contained 4 different individual cheesecakes. 1 New York Cheesecake, 1 Cherry Pie Cheesecake, 1 Nutella Cheesecake and 1 Almond Cheesecake

I tried all 4 and they were all good.  My favorite was the New York Cheesecake, sometimes simple is better.  My least favorite was the Cherry Pie Cheesecake. These were good, but I don’t think I’ll order them again.

 

Omaha Steaks Individual Cheesecake Sampler

Carol's Cookies

 

These were really good and big 7oz cookies.  They are High fat I’m sure, with good quality ingredients including butter and sugar. I would definitely order these again.

I ordered these through Tastes of Chicago. 

Stonewall Kitchen Blueberry Muffin Mix

 

These were healthier type muffins.  They were a bit Tough and chewy on the outside but okay inside.  The mix was a little pricey and I would prefer the cheap Betty Crocker mix.

Omaha Steaks Kielbasa Sausages

 

8 (3 oz.) sausages $15.99 total

Not best tasting sausage with a tough casing.  We used this kielbasa in a cabbage soup which was good, but could’ve been better with better sausage.

 

Stonewall Kitchen Aioli

 

Stonewall Kitchen Roasted Garlic Aioli

This had a very Strong garlic smell and taste and was good on sandwiches and as a dip for fries and other things.

Stonewall Kitchen Smoky Barbecue Aioli

This had a Smoky taste and just a little bit of heat and was good on Paninis, or with fries and fish sticks.

Stonewall Kitchen Chipotle Aioli

This was similar to the Barbecue Aioli’s smoky taste, but had quite a bit more heat.  This was also good on Paninis, and with fries or onion rings.
