Love With Food Review - August 2013

I love subscription boxes. Treats in the mail every month for a low price? Yes, please! I love surprises in the mail, especially when I normally only get bills.

I stumbled upon Love with Food through Swagbucks. They had a promotion where you could get your first box for the cost of shipping only, which came to $2.00. They offer many subscription plans that you can view here: Subscription Plans. For every sale they donate a meal to a hungry child.

August's box was themed "Backyard BBQ." Which seems very appropriate seeing as the apartment complex I'm living in is having a community BBQ as I type this.

Card explaining what is included in August's box

What was included in the Backyard BBQ box:

Original Creamy Praline from Aunt Sally's. New Orleans' most famous praline is studded with Louisiana pecans smothered in fudgy coating.

I've never had a praline, so I'm not really sure what they are meant to taste like. This was too sugary for my liking, but it was fine.

Crunchers from Sahale Snacks. Naturally dried cranberries, roasted sliced almonds, and sesame seeds are lightly glazed with orange blossom honey.

Another one I haven't tried yet. Sounds like it would be amazing to bring along on a hike.

Sea Salt Potato Chips from Good Boy Organics. Full of crunchy flavor, these baked organic potato snacks are GMO-free. 

These chips taste pretty much like any other baked potato chip. The sea salt flavor is perfect and was my favorite part of this product. I briefly thought about dipping these in the salsa that was included in the box, but decided I wanted to wait for some tortilla chips.

Snapea Crisps from Harvest Snaps. The smooth, mild flavor of fresh peas is simply baked into this natural snack.

I'm not a fan of peas, but I will definitely give this product a try.

All Natural Salsa from El Pinto. Made in New Mexico with roasted green chiles and jalapenos for a touch of heat. 

We don't have any chips, but I can't wait to dig into this!

Amsterdam Waffle Cookie from Rip van Wafels. Luscious caramel is sandwiched between thin waffle cookies in this classic Dutch treat. 

The first product I tried from this box. They suggest putting it on top of your coffee/tea mug and letting the steam "cook" the cookie. So I pulled out one of my favorite mugs and filled it with hot tea. It was really yummy when it was soft and warm. I tried it out of the package and it wasn't bad, but it definitely tasted better steamed.

Sugar-Free Fresh Mints from Project7. For each adorable tube enjoyed, Project7 will plant a fruit tree. 

What an awesome company! The mints taste great. They have a spearmint flavor to them that I love.

All Natural Spice Rub from the Dizzy Pig Co.. This flavorful rub pairs well with BBQ classics like ribs, burgers, and chicken. 

Haven't tried this one yet, but I love a good seasoning.

Everything in the box:

I'm very excited about this box and would recommend that anyone try it for at least a month. Their boxes ship out by the 10th of the month and they ship out of Georgia. My box was shipped on the 9th and I got it on the 15th in Northern CA.

Happy sampling!
