Oh, How I Love a Good Wine Club!
Have you ever wanted to join a wine club, but didn’t know which one to join?
I used to be a member of a wine club in University, and we really enjoyed receiving our shipment of new and interesting wines that we probably wouldn’t otherwise try. Actually, it was pretty exciting to get the box of wine in…LOL…
Well, I have found a great wine club that promotes and features many California wines that are not readily found in stores…I LOVE THAT!
Not only that, for everyone that signs up, you only pay for shipping of your first month…That’s Right…They cover the cost of your 1st month of wine!
Sound good? I thought so!
The CA Wine Club is just that good that they know you’ll want to continue your membership with them! Pretty confident, I’d say!
Well, they should be…They’re America’s oldest and most trusted wine club around!
Every month, they feature a new winery and a “new adventure”…
You get 2 bottles per month, and a beautiful magazine, “Corked”.
Not only that, you get to choose whether you’d like 1 bottle of red and 1 bottle of white, 2 reds or 2 whites each month.
Let’s face it, some of us are just partial to reds or whites. Personally, I always loved getting one of each!
Sometimes, I found that we ended up stockpiling more wine than we could drink (not often, but sometimes…LOL), and with the CAWineClub.com, you can choose whether you want wine shipped to you every month, every other month or quarterly. That is really handy, especially if you’re going away on vacation!
I hope you check out this great Wine Club…Let me know what you think!

Casbah Tabouli – Garden Wheat Salad Mix – Product Review
August 14, 2008 by Kimberly · Leave a Comment
Do you like Tabouli (Tabbouleh)?
If you’ve never tried it, you must! If you like it already, and either don’t know how to make it or don’t feel like it, then try this awesome mix for it!
Casbah Brand Tabouli – Garden Wheat Salad Mix
We love this in our household and make it often. It has more bulgur (wheat) in it than the typical tabbouleh salad you would get at a Mediterranean restaurant, but is so delicious!
It is really quick, easy and tastes great either warm or cold. You can eat it as a salad or use it as a stuffing for tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini or grape leaves.
I have even used it for Kimberly’s World Premier Tabbouleh Bread!
Now, sometimes, when we don’t have beautiful tomatoes from the market, we’ll used our own canned tomatoes and just crush them up! Gorgeous!
It is low in fat, and excellent source of iron and is cholesterol free! Awesome!
I do hope you’ll try it…It is really a great product and a good staple to have in your pantry at all times!

Perfect Hot Toddies in Style!
August 13, 2008 by Kimberly · 4 Comments
I just LOVE these innovative NewWave Caffe Mugs! I just purchased some cups with saucers for my mother a few weeks back!
They just totally struck my fancy!
Not only do I like this Mug’s style, I really want to get some of the Latte Macciato mugs for myself…They’re made of clear glass! Just gorgeous!
Not only would they be beautiful to serve delicious lattes, but how about summer berries with cream, or homemade French fries with amazing dips on the beautiful “saucer” to make it look like a painter’s palette?
I want to share with you a favorite drink of mine, especially during the end of summer on those cooler nights, and especially away at the cottage or camping…
The Perfect Hot Toddy
The hot toddy is a hot, mixed, alcoholic beverage believed to have originated in Scotland. Perfect to drink on wet, cooler evenings before going to bed.
Type: Beverage
Serve With: Cinnamon stick
Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 1.5 min
Yield: 1 mug
Ingredients:
Mulled Apple Cider
1/2 tsp honey
1/2 tsp brown sugar
1 shot rum
1 spot butter
1 dash nutmeg
1 cinnamon stick
Instructions:
1. Either in individual mugs or in a small pot, heat mulled apple cider, honey, brown sugar and spices until hot on medium low heat, or in microwave for 1.5 min.
2. Add shot of rum and spot of butter.
3. Serve with cinnamon stick in a gorgeous mug.
4. Enjoy by a campfire under the stars!
Variations of the recipe include using either brandy or whiskey in the place of the rum, and you could also use cloves if desired.
My parents had always enjoyed hot toddies while we were away at the cottage “Up North” in Ontario. It reminds me of those days every time I have a hot toddy.
My mom also says it helps with sore throats!
Check out the NewWave Caffe, and it’s sister pattern NewWave Dinnerware, and get your own exciting and stylish set! NOW 50% OFF THRU END OF AUGUST.

The Sproutwells – Veggie Family in the Neighborhood
August 8, 2008 by Kimberly · Leave a Comment
Have you ever heard of the Sproutwells? I hadn’t until I saw this cute video…
They are a fruit and veggie family living among humans, and just trying to fit in. Check out the video for yourself:
Funny and cute, right? Appropriate shows for the children are getting more and more difficult to find, but this seems to be quite tame, cute and maybe will even get them to eat more vegetables.
If you were to be a vegetable, what veggie would you be?
Well, I would want to be something very health, something unique and something beautiful…Purple is my favorite color, so I would probably choose to be one of those hybrid vegetables – probably a purple cauliflower.
Cauliflower has sulfur compounds that are in a small amount of vegetables and are extremely healthy for you…
Cauliflower is high in Vitamins C, B5 (pantothenic acid), B6, B9 (folate), and a number of others minerals too…Plus, they have fiber and protein with no fat whatsoever! Yeah for that!
Plus the purple color is so pretty and what girl doesn’t want to have “flower” in their name, right?
Remember, when colored hybrid cauliflower, the color fades and in some cases disappears…just FYI for entertaining…
However, serve the different colored vegetable varieties on a vegetable platter with dip for an amazing look!
I encourage you to share the video with your friends and their children too…

I’ve Heard of Eating Honey, But Bee Pollen?
Bee products are some of thee most healthy things you can eat!
Honey is still a sugar, yes, but it is better for you than eating refined sugar, as it has trace amounts of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, not to mention it tastes so much better.
Honey is appropriate to cook and bake with, but when it comes to bee pollen, it is not recommended due to the destruction of essential enzymes caused by excessive heat.
However, you can eat it raw, without cooking it, and it even tastes good too!
Why is bee pollen good for you? Well, it contains:
- All essential amino acids
- Full spectrum of vitamins especially vitamins B12 and E; and significant amounts of B1, B2, B3, B5, C, and vitamin D
- Various minerals including calcium, manganese, phosphorous, iron, sodium, potassium, aluminium, magnesium and copper, trace elements and enzymes (including antioxidants), and co-enzymes, pigments, xanthophylls, carotenes, and sterols, phytosterols, lignans (dibenzyl butanes) isoflavones and flavonoids
- Hormone precursors (which stimulate hormone production and help anti-aging)
- Carbohydrates and fatty acids
Wow, Right?
Most often people take it as a supplement to their diet in capsule form, mainly because I don’t think most people would know what to do with bee pollen in the kitchen. By the way, sprinkle it on cereals, yogurt, salads, or mix it in with drinks, smoothies, juices…So many ways to enjoy it raw!
I have found a really reliable source from JOEBEES, which provides all-natural, free-range bee pollen as a nutritious solution for a fast-paced world.
Joe’s capsules provide “total nutrition” to support every cell in your body.
Why? Because your body responds to the all-natural ingredients listed above that are found in bee pollen – ingredients that are missing from your diet yet are necessary for living a long and healthy life.
Okay, so it’s good for me…What will it do for me?
Bee pollen in your diet will increase your energy, strength, immune system, give you better sleep, and more stamina!
Want proof? Check out Joe’s story and see why he is a bee pollen fanatic, and why he wanted to provide everyone the opportunity to improve their health and well being!
If you’re not sold already on the benefits of bee pollen in your diet, try Joe’s special trial offer that I found on their site!
