I’m stepping into summer with goodies for the entire family. They will excite the tastebuds, keep you hydrated, and make you a star at the cookout. Stock up and bring on the excitement. Hello June!
Mary Alice Cakes Perfect White Cake Mix

Get your morning boost with this refreshing beverage. I like the fizz with its burst of ginger and the familiar taste of lightly sweetened, cold-brewed black tea. Delightful drink. Also available in Grapefruit Clarity and Cucumber Focus.

Utopia Market Quinoa Puffs African Curry
I cannot get enough of these mini puffs. They pack layers of flavor with a hint of heat. The crunchy snack smells like a spice market. Yummy and addicting!

Feridies Rainforest Crunch
Can’t travel right now? Experience a tropical paradise in a can. The roasted nuts complement the dried pineapple and papaya, offering a wonderful savory-sweet combination. The lip-smacking coconut chips add a nice finishing touch. Then, the nut-blend hits my palate with sriracha ranch seasoning. Out-of-sight!
Retail price: $7.25
Size: 9 oz.
Available: Feridies website
Sunnie’s Premade Meal Kits
I enjoy these made-to-order meal kits for kids. They include fresh ingredients that are 100 percent organic, bitesize and good. The do-it-yourself lunches come in three varieties: Pizza Pack, Taco Kit, and SB&J Builder. Convenient. Healthy. Fun. Smoothies are also available. Highly recommend.

Foster’s Pickled Asparagus Original
Eat these delectable vegetables straight from the jar. They sit in a tangy brine that reminds me of traditional pickle juice. I like them so much I’m going to up my charcuterie board game with them. Pickled perfectly! Also available in pickled carrots, green beans, brussels sprouts and okra.
Retail price: $24.95 (3 pack)
Size: 16 oz.
Available: Foster’s website
The Single Origin Food Company Vegan Un-Honey Blonde
Made from unblended organic coconut nectar from the farms of Pylpongpang, Thailand, this smooth sugary condiment blooms on the tongue. It gives me honey vibes. I barely notice the difference between the real thing. It tastes great in tea and oatmeal. I’m a fan!
Retail price: $6.99
Size: 8 oz.
Available: Sprouts Farmers Market nationwide
