July Top Five Foodie Finds

Thanks everyone for all of the love in my last post! You all are too nice. I really appreciate all of your kind comments.

I'm cutting this month's Foodie Find post close! Oh well, better late than never.

These are five food products I tried this month and really enjoyed.

First up,

1. Evol's flatbreads! Evol recently asked if they could send me a sample of their flatbreads, and I happily agreed. A couple of days later a huge box arrived with a cooler full of 16 flatbreads. Wow! I was not expecting that many! I had to take them out of the packaging so they'd fit in our tiny freezer.

P.S. you get a sticker in ever flatbread box.



The artisan crust is what makes these flatbreads so delicious; it's very crispy, light and flavorful. Evol has four flatbread flavors.



Barbecue Chicken & Mozzarella - Fire-grilled free-range white meat chicken, mozzarella cheese, chopped green onion, cilantro and BBQ sauce.

Italian Sausage & Caramelized Onion - Thinly sliced mild Italian sausage, mozzarella cheese, caramelized onions, roasted garlic and extra virgin olive oil.

Grilled Chicken & Roasted Veggies - Fire-grilled free-range white meat chicken, mozzarella cheese, roasted eggplant, mushrooms, caramelized onions, roasted garlic and extra virgin olive oil.

Goat Cheese, Pesto & Portabella - Crumbled farmhouse goat cheese, sautéed portabella mushrooms and basil pesto.

The Barbecue Chicken & Mozarella was my favorite; I would definitely buy it at the store. My least favorite was the Goat Cheese, Pesto & Portabella, surprisingly, because I thought that would be my favorite. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't care for the mushrooms. I think I would have left those off or seasoned them differently. Other than that, the flatbreads were good... very gourmet tasting. I'm interested in trying Evol's pizzas and burritos now.

2. Green Valley Organics



I actually won some of their products in a giveaway. (That's why you should always enter giveaways on blogs!!) I'm so glad I did. Although, now I don't what to do because I haven't seen their products in our area. I sampled their yogurts, sour cream and kefir, and all were delicious. Like, swoonworthy delicious. I guess it's because their products are organic, because everything I tasted was fresh and flavorful.



There was also some Redwood Hill Farm goat milk yogurt cups in the package, too. Somehow those two companies are related, but I'm not sure how. This was my first time trying goat milk yogurt. I'm a fan now. I've been getting more and more into goat milk and cheese. I can definitely understand if you don't like goat products, though.

3. Wafernusse



Okay, so this is another one of my Aldi finds. You may me able to find this type of candy bar in other stores though. I bought a two-pack of wafernusse for 99 cents. That's a lot of nusse for your money. Each package has several chocolate covered-hazelnut cream filled-wafer cookies. They're like mini Nutty Bars. But much, much better. I should have taken a picture of what they looked like, but Eric and I ate them too fast.

4. Rocky Road Squares





Someday I want to live right next to a Trader Joe's. That's my only hope for the future.

Why is everything I've tried there so good? I love that store. I brought home these rocky road chocolate squares from Chicago, and can't get enough.
Rocky road used to be my favorite ice cream flavor as a kid = fact.

5. LaCroix sparkling coconut water



I've tried quite a few flavors of LaCroix, but the coconut is definitely my favorite. It tastes so tropical and is perfect for summertime. I like that their waters are unsweetened, yet still flavored. If you wanted to sweeten the water a touch you could add a splash of fruit juice, orrrr, a splash of coconut rum. Now that would be fun!
