I recently received their Pure Chocolate Extract to try and made gluten free brownies using. (Recipe Below) The brownies came out delicious, moist and perfect. 

Get the Smokey Flavor with Cave Tools

One thing my family loves is grilling out. We love throwing steak, burgers and hot dogs on the grill for a quick and yummy dinner. We love the smokey flavor of meats we get when out at restaurants but was unsure how to achieve the same great flavor at home. I recently received the Cave tools V-Shaped Smoker Box for Mr. Anderson to review. I must say that he was very happy when he opened the smoke to see a smoker for his grill.

One thing I love is having my nails done, but one thing I am bad at doing is my nails.

But for this Halloween season they will not be bare thanks to Glossique Nail Deco.
