Our Dogs Loves Long Lasting Dog Chews

Reviews · 

This post is  a partnership between Responsival and Tammie’s Take. All opinions in this post are 100% my own.

We have a houseful of animals that we consider family. A golden lab{Zeus} and a kitten{Lucy}. My husband {Eric} and I both grew up with pets in our house. Our house is no different because we feel empty without any pets in our home. We recently lost our 2 cats to cancer. I looked like a crazy person walking around talking to myself like I would to the cats. Then we found the kitten across the street in 10 degree weather crying, shivering and scared. Lucy adopted us.

We received a bag of long lasting dog chews for Zeus to try.  We buy Zeus all type of toys but he just tears them apart in minuets. We buy also buy him treats but they too are gone in seconds. These long lasting dog chews are an answer to our prayers. Zeus loves these and cannot get enough of them even though they last a long time.

Some of the benefits of the long lasting dog chews is great alternative to rawhide, helps to remove plaque and tarter to help support dental health, resealable bag to preserve freshness and single ingredient treat soured from only grass fed, free range beef.

My dog chewed this whole long lasting chew in an hour. That is how much he loved it!

I really believe that this long lasting dog chew is something that I have never saw before. I also believe that no other manufacturer makes this type of chew holder. Zeus sure loved it. I think it’s funny how we spoil our family pets with products to make their life and health easier. it not only makes there life easier but ours too. as they relive our stress and anxiety. Dogs can be emotional support animals or even companions. I know they relive my stress and anxiety. They are my kids.

If you own a dog, Your dog is just going to love these long lasting dog chews. I am sure that will look happier and be happier then you have ever seen them. I know mine is as he is loving his long lasting chews. You need to buy your dogs these now. You will not be disappointed.

PepperMate Disposable Peppercorn/Salt and Salt Grinders #2023HolidayGiftGuide

2023 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · 

I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this post. All opinion and thoughts are 100% my own.

Everyone who knows me, Knows how I love my food seasoned. Sure you can season your food after it cooks but it is so very much flavorful when you season it throughout the cooking process. Then after you taste it, If you like a little more salt ot pepper then feel free to add it. I know or knew several family members who don’t season their food through the cooking process. To me that is just an injudicious to the food itself. Flavor is the key to life. I am beyond thrilled to include PepperMate in my 2023 Holiday Gift Guide.

PepperMate 

“Many of the mills on the market – including even the classic wooden pepper mill – turn out to be little more than decorative” – Pierre Franey NYT 1982

On June 25th 1982 The New York Times ran a story about Pepper Grinders. It was written by the famous French Chef Pierre Franey. It discussed a common problem of cooking recipes calling for freshly ground pepper and home chefs not having access to those important spices. This entire article was dedicated to our world famous PepperMate Traditional Pepper Mill. It was revolution in home cooking and even the experts agreed.

“A new pepper mill has just been introduced on the market and it is one of the best I’ve come across. Called PepperMate, it is a sleep and beautifully designed model about six inches high, attractive and easy to operate.” – Pierre Franey NYT 1982

Established in 1982 we have carried out our mission in allowing people to easily dispense gourmet freshly ground pepper. We have moved with the times and elaborated on the utility, style and usefulness of our product lines.  Our team of designers and product developers all appreciate the fine art of gourmet home cooking and we do not take this task lightly. Every product we produce always has to answer these key questions.”

They offer everything from individual disposable grinders to the incredible turn key pepper grinder to peppercorns. I cannot for the life of me understand why I have not tried this product before.

 

 

This is a very user friendly product. Even people with arthritis I have heard are loving this product. My Mother-In-Law who has terrible arthritis in her hands and cannot use a grinder loves this product. Sure there is some resistance but not like other grinders where it is almost impossible to turn. Don’t forget to remove the safety paper from the product.

You can shop this and and of the other products being offered on Pepper mate listed on my 2023 Holiday Gift Guide.

 

Cabinet Caddy SNAP! Review #2023HolidayGiftGuide

2023 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · 

I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this post. All opinion and thoughts are 100% my own.

Organizing is everything in my home. I may not be good at it but I am always on the look out for items that help me do just that. Some people find organizing so very easy. I can do it if I have the right tools. This is why I am thrilled to add Inspired Products to my 2023 Holiday Gift Guide.

Cabinet Caddy SNAP! is an organizational item for your cabinets that allow you to organize such things as medications, craft supplies or even spices.

Description

You asked, we listened! The Cabinet Caddy SNAP!* is our new and improved pull-and-rotate organizer for spices, prescriptions, crafts and so much more. What’s new, you might ask? Well…

  1. The Cabinet Caddy SNAP!* comes with 3 adjustable shelves plus a “small things” tray, so you can adjust the caddy to fit your items anyway you want.
  2. We made retrieving your items even easier with our patented shelves that pivot upwards, giving you better clearance to remove larger items.
  3. Each Cabinet Caddy SNAP!* comes with a magnetic latch that connects additional units side-by-side, so you can add on as you see fit.
  4. And best of all, we made the Cabinet Caddy SNAP!* shorter to fit in smaller spaces, but it can store even more things than before! (You still need to measure your cabinets to ensure you have at least 9” in height and 11” in depth for a proper fit – product dimensions are 8.9″ H x 6.1″ W x 10.8″ D.)

Of course, the caddy still comes with the stick-on category labels for each handle, and non-slip feet to keep it steady in your cabinet, countertop or desk. And the Cabinet Caddy SNAP!* arrives ready to organize. Just snap in your shelves. No additional assembly required.

 

I even love to keep medical supplies in these organizers and I know you will also. Just shop for these and other products on my 2023 Holiday Gift Guide.

Raw Spice Bar Rub Subscription Review #2023HolidayGiftGuide

2023 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · 

I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this post. All opinion and thoughts are 100% my own.

Cooking has always been an issue for me. I have tons of recipes handed down in my family but I never have the spices or combined spices I need. That was until now as I received a very awesome group of spices from Raw Spice Lab. One thing I do require is seasoned food. Even if it is just salt and pepper. I get confused as to why people do not season their food.

Raw Spice Bar is a company that creates all kind of spices and rubs. They create a new spice every month. They sell everything from individual spices to Blend Boxes to spice subscriptions. Spice subscriptions are the way to go. When you sign up for a subscription, The person you sign up will get an awesome spice monthly to make or create an amazing dish/recipe. This is the perfect gift for that foodie on your gift list!

“They say that if something isn’t broke, don’t fix it. Take grocery store spice blends, for example. They’re just good enough. Not special, not wow-inducing, and usually a bit on the flavorless side. They’re just kind of…there. Just like a tomato bought from a store can never compare to the tangy, fresh flavor of a locally grown farmer’s market tomato, a store-bought spice blend can be good, but only a spice blend utilizing the freshest ingredients for the deepest flavors can be great.

At RawSpiceBar, we believe that no one should settle for bland food or a so-so mealtime routine. A Creole blend should have the sounds of Bourbon Street ringing in your ears. A Greek blend should transport you to the sun-drenched vineyards of the Mediterranean. When “good enough” spice blends didn’t achieve this, we knew something had to change. ”

Memphis Sidewheel Dry Rub– The Memphis Sidewheel Dry Rub is a blend of earthy, smoky, herbal, and spicy designed especially for ribs. Greek influences, such as oregano and garlic, meet traditional Cajun spices like paprika and chiles. Use this smoky Memphis dry rub to create an acidic “wet mop” for making tangy and tender charcoal-grilled ribs. Hand blended from yellow mustard seeds, smoky paprika, onion, garlic, black peppercorns, celery seed, thyme, and oregano.

Longhorn Dry Rub– Everything’s bigger in Texas, so we created a rub that brings big flavor to even the most substantial cuts of beef.

Sweet Carolina Dry Rub– No matter your barbecue preference, our RawSpiceBar Sweet Carolina Dry Rub can unify the masses around what turns a good barbecue into a great one. A sweet, savory blend of granulated raw sugar, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, and more, this month’s dry rub will give you a new-found love for your grill, barbecue meals, and knowledge of an American summertime staple.

All 3 of these rubs are included in the Grill master spice kit. All of these are available for a very affordable price. I am very pleased to offer these spices in my 2023 Holiday Gift Guide. You will not be sorry when you order this for that special cook/chef on your gift list.
