My son enjoying his green milk and
Absolutely Almond Pound Cake on St. Patrick’s Day.
I was recently sent a variety of Tastefully Simple products from Rachel Land – Tastefully Simple Ind. Consultant to try and review here on At Home Moma. I have eaten Tastefully Simple products before, but I have never prepared one of their mixes and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to prepare the food.
The first item I made was the Absolutely Almond Pound Cake. I decided to let the kids help me, because it only needed me to add two additional ingredients, 3/4 Cup of butter, and 1 cup of water. That was it!
Here they are getting ready to make the Absolutely Almond Pound Cake.
The prep time was maybe 10 minutes (because the kids were doing it) and the rest of the time was spent cooking it.
And since St. Patrick’s Day was the next day, I added some green food coloring to the mix. (Normally it would be an off white color.)
The house smelled great while this was cooking. Of course as soon as it was cool enough, my husband and I had to cut a piece and try it. My husband loves spritz cookies at Christmas time, which have an almond taste, and he said this reminded him of the cookies. Then, he said “Can you order some more of this?”
The finished product.
I also prepared the Bountiful Beer Bread, which again was so easy because all it needed was a 12 oz beer and 3 tablespoons of butter. And again, it smelled and tasted great. I cut a piece and spread butter on it. It was delicious.
Finally, I prepared the Onion Onion Seasoning Blend. I made it into a dip to take to a St. Patrick’s Day party along with green veggies. All it needed was 1 cup of Sour Cream. If you like onions, you will like this dip. Almost all of it was gone when I left the party.
I still have two items to try, the Key Lime Cheese Ball, and the Fiesta Party Dip Mix. I’ll let you know how they turn out.
