No Gluten, No Problem- Cuisine Cube Subscription Review

Gluten intolerance seems to becoming more of an issue for people these days.  My sister-in-law (well, soon to be sister-in-law), was actually just mentioning how she is no longer eating gluten either. Thus, many food subscription boxes that are out there right now are just not working for people with this intolerance, or for those just  trying to keep gluten out of their diet. This is when this fantastic new subscription comes in, Cuisine Cube.

What is Cuisine Cube?

The people behind Cuisine Cube created this subscription for people who are eating gluten free. They also know that sometimes it is hard to find really tasty gluten free food, thus Cuisine Cube to the rescue.  Cuisine Cube curators have put together a subscription that takes on the task themselves of finding the delicious gluten free food for you, focusing on brands made by smaller artisan producers, that taste better and are better for you. Cost each month is $29.99.

December Cuisine Cube

This box was just so exciting to get. When I opened it I was very impressed. Like I always say, presentation is always a big plus in my mind, and Cuisine Cube was nicely packaged in a nice box, as to not damage any of the food or smash it. Smashed up muffin is not always very appealing, and I am glad that Cuisine Cube also appreciates that as well. 

Kyotofu- Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Muffin $9

I hardly got to dig into this yummy muffin before it was devoured by my other family members, but the little taste I got was fantastic. It is made with Cup4Cup flower, which is a special blend of gluten free flour and mixes with spices. This muffin was very moist and super tasty.

Pangea White Corn Fusilli $7

A, our little one, and do not eat pasta at all. I do not mind it, but for everyone else it is a texture thing. However, this White Corn Fusilli, imported straight from Italy, sounds very good for someone who cannot have gluten. My parents will probably really like this pasta. 

Pereg Quinoa All’ Italia $4.50

I have had Quinoa before, but for all those who have no idea what in the world it is here is a little bit about it:

“Quinoa, the “mother of all grains”, is a healthy and easy food to prepare. Quinoa is high in protein, has many anti-inflammatory properties and contains more anti-oxidants than cranberries!”

I cannot wait to try this, sounds very yummy and very good for me. 

Thatcher’s Sea Salt Chocolate Caramel Corn $4.50

Okay, so I knew that San Francisco had good food, but oh goodness, this Sea Salt Chocolate Caramel Corn was to- die-for-yummy. Yes, it really was that good! Once this bag was opened it was demolished! I was trying to keep healthy with sweets, but even I had to give it a try. And it is gluten free. I am trying to get my hands on more of this.

Organicasaurus Organic Baked Corn Snack $3

These puffed up snacks are all shaped like dinos. Our little one is really into dinosaurs, and really thought these real cheddar cheese snacks were good. These are actually the only cheese corn puff on the market that are USDA Organic!

Freedgoods Coco Brownie $4

I had actually talked to some people about cooking gluten free and everyone told me that you can actually make some really tasty treats that are gluten free, well this brownie is one tasty treat.  Super moist and tasting no different than a regular brownie.

TICKLED PINK OPINION

Just in this past year I have come across so many people that are becoming gluten free, and with less options to pick from, it is nice that there is a subscription out there that does the hunting for gourmet gluten free products for gluten free eaters.  After Cuisine Cube graciously offered to send me this sample box, I am thoroughly impressed with Cuisine Cube, and definitely think it is a great, and much needed, box. It also has opened my eyes to the options of tasty gluten free food.

December’s Cuisine Cube’s total value was approximately $32 worth of premium and tasty gluten free items. At a monthly cost of $29.99, you definitely get your monies worth.  You definitely could not purchase these items plus shipping for less than $29.99.

Until next time…

New Subscription Reveal and Review- Vermont Snacks

I have been enjoying all the subscription boxes that have been released or are coming out that feature certain areas of the country. This box I am going to introduce, and got the opportunity to try out, comes from Vermont. Vermont Snacks is a new box that I really took a liking too right away.

What is Vermont Snacks?

Each month Vermont Snacks ships 4-6 of delicious snacks made by Vermont artisans. Each box is packed full with excitement, and if you like the products that are in your Vermont Snacks box you can also purchase them on the Vermont Snacks website. The monthly cost is $19. And for every box that Vermont Snacks ships they donate a meal the the Vermont Foodbank. 

September Vermont Snacks Box

This box was nicely packages, which you know I always appreciate. It also came with a very nice Featured Product information card, which I also appreciate. A subscription box that features products that someone like me from Washington does not know much about, I really like getting an information card like the one that came with Vermont Snack box. The information card not only explains about the product, but it also gives a little background on the company behind the goodie included in the box as well. 

Garuka Bars- Endangered Edition Bar -$3

This is a great bar full of simple and wholesome ingredients like: Vermont honey, cranberries and peanuts. What I really like about this company is that for each sale a percentage goes towards gorilla conservation.  A and I love animals, and so any company that helps out in the conservation of animals is an instant hit on our list. 

Distler’s Pretzels in Maple- $2

I really like pretzels, so never complain when I get them in boxes. I have never had maple pretzels, so I am excited to give them a try. It was very fitting for a Vermont Snack box to feature some maple items!

Liz Lovely  Chocolate Chip Cookies - $4

These cookies are gluten and vegan free, and are completely to die for. They really give you that OMG moment after taking the first bite. I cannot wait to try more of these, as I am already craving another cookie.

Bloodroot Mountain Chipotle Morita-$7

This is another Vermont company that bases their hot sauce around 100% natural ingredients. This Chipotle  Morita blend contains fire roasted bell peppers, maple sugar, garlic, lime, and of course chipotle morita peppers. I am not the biggest hot sauce eater, but my parents are. So, this will probably be gifted to them. I am sure it is good, just would like it to get used more often than I would use it.

Champlain Chocolate Bar samples -$1 

Yummy little treat!

TICKLED PINK OPINION:  The value of my first Vermont Snacks box was about $17, which was a little less than the monthly subscription cost. However, I think that if you were to buy these separately from each artisans website you would be paying way more in shipping costs. Overall, I think the quality of items and concept behind Vermont Snacks is just fantastic. It is not every day that I get to taste treats from another state. And instead of heading all the way to Vermont to try some of their delicious treats, they have delivered it right to my doorstep. I cannot wait to see what is in store over at Vermont Snacks.

What did you think of the first Vermont Snacks? Are you ready for some Vermont deliciousness delivered right to your door? Well, you can learn more or sign up for Vermont Snacks over at there website HERE.

Until next time…
