Ease into the fall season with these wonderful selections. They range from savory to sweet with the comforts of home. The entire family will enjoy them. Bon appétit!

Mesa de Vida North African

Mesa de Vida, North African Recipe Starter and Cooking Sauce

Goodness in a jar – this fragrant cooking sauce consists of scrumptious vegetables and fruit with a hint of spices and herbs. The Moroccan tagine recipe on the jar is a winner in my household. Do yourself a favor and get the 5-pack variety bundle; everything is amazing. Whole30 approved.

Retail price: $8.99
Size: 9 ounces
Available: https://www.mesadevida.com and Whole Foods Markets nationwide

 

 Maple Craft Syrup Apple Cinnamon Maple Syrup

Maple Craft Foods, Apple Cinnamon Maple Craft Syrup (Organic)

I cannot get enough of this delightful aromatic syrup. It offers a burst of sweet apple cinnamon that reminds me of the fall season. Drizzle the luscious thick liquid over pancakes for a life-changing experience. Yummy!

Retail price: $12.99
Size: 6.8 ounces
Available: https://maplecraftfoods.com

 

Nellie Eggs Bites Bacon and Cheese

Nellie’s Free Range Eggs, Sous Vide Egg Bites

This grab-and-go breakfast cooks in the microwave for 40-60 seconds. The cheesy eggs come out fluffy and moist. The savory bacon keeps me smiling and wanting more. I’m a fan of the uncured ham and swiss and the broccoli and cheddar too.

Retail price: $3.99
Size: 4 ounces
Available: Food Lion Store, Target Store, Walmart Supercenter, Kroger Store

 

 Kitchen Crafted Seasoning

Kitchen Crafted, Bayou Catch Seafood Seasoning

This appropriately named seasoning adds a little kick to my shrimp kabobs and fried codfish. The chilies serve up the right amount of heat. The tasty condiment also includes garlic, salt and onion, making meal prep complete.

Retail price: $9.99 (2-pack)
Size: 2.2 ounces
Available: https://kitchencrafted.com

 

Indian Kitchen Potato Pea Samosa

Deep Indian Kitchen, Potato & Pea Samosas

As a samosas neophyte, I find these frozen ones delightful. I heat them in the oven for best results. The spicy potatoes and peas complement each together, even if you’re not a fond of the green vegetable. The buttery golden pastry provides a sandwich type texture. Dip it into the succulent tamarind mint chutney to enjoy some great moments. Superb!

Retail price: $3.49
Size: 12 ounces
Available: https://deepindiankitchen.com/, Kroger Stores, Wegman’s Food Market 

 

RECOVER180-AcaiBerry

RECOVƎR 180° Acai Berry

This sports drink is surprisingly delicious. It features a bitter fruitiness with a splash of sugar and it doesn’t leave an aftertaste. It packs the electrolytes you need to rejuvenate your body when traveling. Also, it contains only 60 calories and 11 grams of sugar. Also available in citrus and blood orange flavors. I recommend them all.

Retail price: $32.95 /12-pack
Size: 16 ounces
Available: https://www.drinkrecover.com, Amazon, Target and select stores nationwide

 

 Arm and Hammer Fruit and Vegetable Wash

Arm and Hammer Fruit & Vegetable Wash

This odorless wash helps eliminate wax and pesticides from fruits and vegetables. The convenient spray bottle makes cleaning easy. The brand I trust uses ingredients free from harsh chemicals. Most importantly, foods taste the same after application.

Retail price: $4.98
Size: 16.9 ounces
Available: Amazon, Lowe’s, Jewel Osco, and other
