Review - Tasty Bite

Vegetarian and kosher food. Not really something that would've appealed to me a couple of years ago. My willingness to actually try foods before i decide i don't like them has opened a whole new world to me. I use to think vegetarian food was just greens and veggies, not the case for Tasty Bite.

Thanks to Doug, over at Tasty Bite, i was sent a couple of their products to review. I received the Madras Lentils, Channa Masala, Garlic Brown Rice and Tandori Rice. I don't have much any experience with Indian food, so I was ecstatic to find Tasty Bite's Recipe Page. I wish i could have taken pictures of the dishes i made, but they were literally gone in a blink of an eye.

  • Madras Lentils (Lentils, red beans & spices in a creamy tomato sauce). For this, I came across the Madras Lentils Dip recipe. It looked tasty and I had every ingredient it called for so I decided on it. It took less than 10min. to finish the dip. We served it with corn chips and a fresh side of sour cream. I was expecting for it to be too spicy, as Indian food is known for their spicy food. The spice was just right, the taste was great! Its reminiscent of chilli and actually has a meaty taste, but it is ALL vegetarian. This was, by far, my favorite.
  • Channa Masala (Chickpeas slow-simmered with onions, tomatoes & spices). I tasted this one, but did not finish the whole entree. I was expecting something spicier. It was very mild and the texture of the chickpeas just didn't go with the rest. The onion was overpowering and too sweet.
  • Tandoori Rice (Long grain rice flavored with rich aromatic Indian spices). I made some delicious grilled Lime Chicken & Veggie kabobs to pair with the Tandoori rice. Both complimented each other very well. The rice smelled delicious and wasn't oily like many ready-to-eat rices.
  • Garlic Brown Rice (Nutty brown rice with roasted garlic corn and vegetables). Unfortunately i didn't have the opportunity to try this, it mysteriously "disappeared".
Tasty Bite offers Entrees, Rices, Simmer Sauces and Meal Inspirations. They are easy and fast to make. They take about 90sec. to heat up. This is GREAT for college students, or anyone, who doesn't have a lot of time to cook, but still wants to eat good healthy food. They are tasty, vegetarian, kosher, and msg- and glutton-free.

Overall, Tasty Bite sure does make some tasty bites! I enjoyed the Madras Lentils very much! This was a new experience, as I've never tried any sort of Indian cuisine before. Thank you, Tasty Bite, for allowing me to venture and try some Indian cuisine! :)

Review - Dezign With a Z

Dezign With a Z wall decals and wall stickers
I'm sure we have all come across many of those wall decal websites. I've noticed many of them have mostly the same type of decals, with only a handful that stand out. I tend to look for abstracts trees (i love trees), nature-related, and super cute anime-type wall decals. I found a company that sells the most adorable multi-colored anime-type wall decals, but of course, they are for kids. At the tender age of 21, i could still squeeze myself in that category! lol.

Dezign With a Z is a wall-decal company located in San Francisco. They have a hundreds of wall decals that vary in size and gives the customer the ability to customize it. With over 24 colors to choose from, you can have a complete "re-wallution", as they call it. I absolutely love the selection of decals. They also have Resin Acrylic Wall Mirrors in shapes of lips, hearts and even Asian-inspired. Below are a couple of wall decals they have available that I absolutely adore:


Thanks to Paula over at Dezign With a Z, I was sent two wall decals to review. One thing that intrigued me was that I wasn't able to choose the designs, they were chosen based on my blog style. I love that! Why? Because, as you can see, my layout has a tree and i LOVE trees :) So, what I received was a Cherry Blossom and Hollow Stars.

My wall decals both came in a bright red. When I saw the Cherry Blossom branch, I absolutely fell in love! The design is very modern and chic and I immediately knew where i was going to place it.  I noticed it looks good upside down. So, I placed it on the wall that everyone sees when they come in through the foyer of the house and at the top of the stairway.

Now, the application was a bit tough for me. We have very high ceilings so I grabbed the ladder and started to see how I was going to place it. The instructions say that you have to rid the sheet of air bubbles and make sure it completely sticks to the transparent sheet. This took about 5 minutes and the help of my sister. When i finally separated the decal from the other sheet, i placed it on the wall. This took another 6-7 minutes. It was rather tough to have the decal stick to the wall. I tried the credit card method, making sure to pull little by little but the decal kept sticking back to the transparent paper. When i finally got done with it, i smoothed it over on the wall and it looks amazing!

Overall, i love the wall decals that were chosen on my behalf. I think they fit my personality very well. Thank you to Dezign With a Z for the opportunity to review their great decals. The hollow stars still haven't been put up, but I have an idea of how i want to place them, I hope to take a picture when I get it done. The stars came in a set of 20 and don't have many different sections like the Cherry Blossom so it will be much easier and faster to apply to my wall.
