Hello foodies! Summertime is in full effect. Therefore, I’m sharing some appetizing items for your backyard cookouts, poolside dips, and family road trips. I hope they make your July cooler. Bon appétit!

Southern Braai

African Dream Foods Southern Braai BBQ Sauce

There are not enough adjectives in the dictionary to describe this magnificent sauce. It offers layers of spice and heat with a hint of sweet. I’m lip smacking and toe tapping while trying to explain my obsession. I give up. Mind blowing!

Retail price: $15.95
Size:  16.9 ounces
Available: https://africandreamfoods.com/

 

 Brazi Bites

Brazi Bites Breakfast Sandwiches

These Latin-inspired sandwiches microwave for three minutes. The crisping sleeve ensures a toasty gluten-free bread. I enjoy the oozing cheese, savory meats and the perfectly cooked cage-free egg. The satisfying fare will have you making breakfast at home more often. Grab it and go!

Retail price: $3.99
Size: 4 ounces
Available: Target Stores

 

Fruit Curd

The Unsweetened Tooth Fruit Curds

These luscious dessert spreads will have you spooning and swooning. They are aromatic, smooth and creamy. I’m addicted. Simply delicious!

Upgrade your pasta game with these pre-cooked, succulent ramen noodles and a tangy sauce. Quick and easy to prepare. Add vegetables and chicken for a complete meal. It tastes great!

Proof Point Seltzer

Proof Points Spirited Seltzers

These refreshing seltzers contain five percent alcohol with a splash of flavor. Each one serves up a delightful sip with zero sugar. I tend to lean towards rum cocktails, but the Whiskey with Blackberry Lemon is a game-changer. All so good!

Retail price: $10.99
Size: 12 ounces
Available: https://www.proofpointseltzers.com

 

Clarkson Ave Classic Cake

Clarkson Avenue Crumb Cake Company Classic Crumb Cake

This moist cake arrives fresh and well packaged. I love the mounds of cinnamon crumble. It adds beauty and texture. It also elevates the delicate white cake for a mouthwatering experience. Scrumptious!

Walden Farms Raspberry Vinaigrette

Walden Farms Raspberry Vinaigrette

This delectable vinaigrette checks all the nutritional boxes. It’s free from calories, fat, sugar, dairy, and cholesterol. I like the fruity peppery profile which livens up my salads. It allows me to eat with ease.

Fruity Pebbles Crisps 

Post Fruity PEBBLES™ Crisps

This tasty colorful snack is a fun and convenient way to consume cereal. It provides a crunch and sugar fix without overwhelming the palate. The bite-size treat will have you sneaking into the kitchen to get more. Yum!
