Vanilla Dream by Java Factory Roasters

March 6, 2017


Every since I was a child one of my absolute favorite flavors was toffee. See, when I was little my mom and I would always get a toffee bar when we went shopping. It was our little tradition and treat that we shared. So, can you image how thrilled I was to find out my coffee selection for the month of March from Java Factory Roasters was Vanilla Dream. Vanilla Dream is the perfect blend of vanilla and toffee flavored coffee perfectly portioned in a single serve K-Cup. The warm butteriness of the toffee really shines through with a mild hint of vanilla in this blend. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't taste like candy...the coffee is still the star. But the toffee does dance on your taste buds...you do taste it. This is a light roast with velvety undertones and a smooth, rich creamy goodness I believe that only the toffee flavor could provide. The smell of the coffee while brewing reminds be of a few of the candy kitchens we have down south. I do add a splash of vanilla creamer to mine and it enhances the flavors of the vanilla and toffee in the coffee already. This could very well be my own personal cup of coffee because it reminds me so much of my mom.


Vanilla Dream - Vanilla + Butter Toffee Flavored Coffee
Who said that vanilla was boring? Infused with smooth vanilla flavor and the tongue-tantalizing taste of butter toffee, this dreamy brew offers vanilla’s naysayers a much-needed reality check. Slip into the sublime with this gently flavored light roast.

Ninja 4-in-1-cooking-system

March 2, 2017


I'll admit, I am one crock pot love'n mama. There is just something special about loading a full meal into a pot. It slow cooks all day filling your home with the smell of home cooked goodness. And being a family of 5 it's a way to make sure at the end of the day our family has a great meal. Plus I don't have to spend hours in the kitchen putting it together. The 6-quart pot allows room for your biggest dishes and also frees up room when you are looking large holiday meals. Then when it's time to store the unit everything fits neatly inside. 


The 1st meal that I made was lasagna! I love that it's so easy to use and programmable. I have so much more control over the temperatures that my food cooks. With my old crock pot, it was high, low or off. There were also no hot spots when cooking, the meal was perfect in every way. 


Cooking a chicken stew in it is a dream come true! Do you see the richness of the chicken broth? The chicken was cooked to perfection-tender and juicy. We have also used the rack insert to make a meatloaf that came out perfect. And did I mention that it's dishwasher safe? Well, not the cooker itself but the inserts. The inserts are also nonstick. We use ours weekly and can not live without it!


Looks like a pot, feels like a jackpot.
You and your kitchen win big when the Ninja®Cooking System is around. It sears, sautés, slow cooks and steams all in one pot. Oh, and it can bake. One-pot meals in as little as 30 minutes? We told you it's a jackpot.
