Organic fruit and nuts?

I've had an opportunity to try some new snacks, thanks to my friends at Posh Mama. I was a bit skeptical at first, because although I do enjoy fruit and nuts... Well, I must be honest and say I'd rather have them dipped in chocolate than simply cut and dried, "organic, nothing added."
But I have to report that I was pleasantly surprised by the Peeled Snacks I tried. My favorite was the "go-Mango-man-go," which is dried strips of mango, no sugar (or anything else) added. They tasted just like mango should taste, but a bit more intense: sweet, tropical, and a little bit tart. Delicious!! Hubby loves pineapple, and he declared the "pine-4-Pineapple" to be the best. The first-grader even liked the pineapple! The nuts were also tasty, even though they didn't have any chocolate on them. :-)
I could get used to these natural treats, and I think I could even get my kids to eat them. I'm definitely going to get some more of those dried mangoes for myself! If you're interested in some organic snack ideas for your family, check these out.
I gobbled up some free samples of Peeled Snacks fruit and nuts, in order to write this informed review.{ 2 comments }
As American as apple “pi”
Here's a quick geek goodie in honor of US Independence Day. This pretty "pi" pie plate would be perfect for any kind of pie. It has several dozen of the digits of pi around the rim, with a big pi in the center!
You might remember the "pi" pie I featured on my Sugar & Sweets blog, back on Pi Day (3/14 -- get it?). That pie in this plate would be geeky pie perfection! I found this pi plate at Signals. I think I want it!
