- Purely Asian Brand
We are crazy about Asian food, so when Day-Lee Foods sent us a variety of their Purely Asian Brand entrees to try, we were excited. In a simple box made to serve two, we tried the pot stickers, Broccoli Beef, Teriyaki Chicken and Mandarin Orange Chicken. While all are good, in the end it was the Lemon Pepper Chicken that really delivered on the authentic taste and was delicious from beginning to end. Purchase price is $7.90. www.dayleefoods.com - Crave Foods Samosas

We have been talking to everyone about Toffee Talk ever since first trying their unforgettable confections at the International Chocolate Salon in San Francisco. Never mind having any kind of self control. Once you open the bag, it will be gone in just minutes. The red walnut toffee took us by surprise and was absolutely amazing. We are counting the days to our next delicious encounter. Purchase price ranges by size from $6 to $30. www.cjstoffeetalk.com - Manicaretti Spicy Tomato Sauce
If you are looking for a way to add a little spice to your pasta, we recommend picking up a jar of Manicaretti's Spicy Tomato Sauce. Made with garlic, onions, olive oil and hot peppers, the flavor is not too spicy and just right for a little extra kick. Makes a great dip for garlic bread as well. Purchase price is $4.35. www.manicaretti.com - California Olive Ranch
Despite what many may think, olive oils are not all the same. Delivering a rich and smooth flavor, California Olive Ranch olive oils are simply perfect as dips and for salad dressings and marinades. Available in a variety of flavors, we found that others just don't compare when it comes to taste and quality. Purchase prices ranges by size from $10.49 to $17.97 for a 500 ml bottle. www.californiaoliveranch.com
