Love With Food Review & Deluxe Box Giveaway!

Love With Food who so graciously sent us this deluxe box is a monthly subscription service that delivers new, organic, and all natural snacks to your door. And get this...for every box you buy Love With Food will donate a meal to a hungry child right here in the United States.


This month's box was packed. We received the deluxe box which, for as low as $17/month, includes 16-20 items, some of which may be duplicates which is great if you have others in your house who might want to dive in to your goodies too.
If it's just for yourself you may also opt for the tasting box which contains 8+ snacks and is as low as $10/month.
This is my kind of box. It puts a variety of snacks in our pantry that I would never normally buy and it's nice to have something different now and then, or something a little healthier to hand out to my nephews or other guests. Crunchy Momma was here when I opened up this box and obviously gave her two cents on the items...lets call it a guest appearance!
This month's box left a great impression and I can't wait to see months to come especially as the seasons change!
 
Sweet Potato Pop Chips

I've never had Pop Chips before but I have seen them and kept saying I was going to try them. I ate a bag while I was taking these pictures and they were so good and so light. I love chips but hate that crappy, full of grease feeling they leave you with so these are a perfect substitute.
 
Dried Sweet Corn Crunch
 
Has anyone seen these before? I haven't... but I love corn (mostly drenched in salt and butter) I tried a bag already and I have to say, at first I wasn't over the moon in love with them but I think that's just because I found the idea so unusual. I'm happy to report they are good and even though I could happily eat the other bag I'm going to send them to work with my "trying to snack healthier" husband. These are also crunchy momma approved*
 
Tuxedo Popcorn
 
You're gonna die...seriously...you really need to taste this stuff because it's insane and that's coming from a person who ALWAYS chooses savory over sweet. Classic caramel popcorn Love With Food suggests adding a drizzle of milk and white chocolate...mmmm!!
 
Ginger Twist Tea from Mighty Leaf
 
It's no secret that I love tea, and I go against the mold of my British roots, in that more often than not I don't do black tea with milk and sugar. I have a pretty sick obsession with flavored teas (you should see my stash!) My all time favorite (right now...lol) is Lemon Ginger so this tea is going to be used here. These tea bags are so cool looking too (I need to add another picture of the actual bag) I'm sure you'll be hearing about how wonderful this is pretty soon =)
 
Black Rice Cracker Chips from Grains of Wellness
 
I didn't think I would like these because I thought they would lack flavor but they are pretty good. They are super light and have just enough sea salt. They are gluten free and Crunchy Momma approved* I will be on the lookout for these at the grocery store.
 
Seasoned Pistachios from The Guilded Nut
 
My husband is obsessed with pistachios, lucky for him these were in the box because I am not a fan, although this flavor is appealing to me and I would try it on say...a cashew (is that gross?) So, he is going to love them I'm sure.
 
Rosemary Sea Salt Shortbread from Dancing Deer Baking Co
 
I loved these. I could have done without the sugar on top because I'm so much more into savory foods and snacks but that didn't make these any less amazing and I'd have at a guess that they end up being my favorite item from the box and the item I am most likely to buy. Love!
 
Almond, Apricot, and Yoghurt Bar from Eat Natural
 
I hear a little voice say "momma, open" while taking pictures and sure enough my little peanut gobbled this entire thing much to the dismay of little Hamburger who kept saying "bar, momma, bar" I know you're thinking he wanted a beer but he wanted the yogurt bar and Stefanos was not sharing! I managed to sneak a little nibble and it was delish (I stole that from Rachael Ray) I just need to find some more for the picky little dude!
 
Green & Black's Organic, Dark 70% Chocolate
 
They say you won't believe it's dark chocolate and they are correct. I don't like the dark stuff but I liked this. I was pleasantly surprised and pretty glad I have three more left! Now what to do with the cute little bags....?
 
Maple Fudge from Laura Secord
 
If you love the sweet stuff you will love these. They weren't for me. Just too sweet. Crunchy Momma loved them...although she didn't approve them!

Arora Creations Authentic Indian Spice Blend

The recipe given with this spice pack is for a vegetable medley with Okra, Asparagus, and String Beans. It sounds so good...it's going on my meal plan for next week and I will update how we like it. I tend not to use a huge variety of spices in our food. I have the same old ones I always buy so this will be a nice change.

Now, not only did Love With Food send us this amazing box...they want to send YOU a box in January. Just enter in the rafflecopter below for your chance to win. Don't forget to leave a comment for those extra points!! To learn more about their subscription service go here.
