Matcha DNA #Review


Matcha DNA has revolutionized the way we prepare matcha green tea today. 

Matcha DNA delivers all the quality and taste you love in a convenient single use packets. I was lucky to have the chance to review their Matcha Green Tea.



I am a  a cast iron pot, loose leaf only tea junkie..also known as a tea snob. I don't see anything wrong with loving the best! I have been grinding my own matcha, but it is so much work. I love Matcha because instead of steeping the leaves, you actually dissolve the green tea powder directly into your liquids giving you 100% benefits it has to offer. Matcha is best when fresh but buying it in small containers at a time can get pretty expensive.

That is what I love about Matcha DNA. They deliver the Matcha in single serve, freshley sealed packages. The price is around the same of other matcha purchasing methods, but with such little waste it definitly is more tea for your dollar. I love not having to drink the bitter matcha at the end of a container anymore. I love Matcha DNA and love that it is 100% organic as well.

Here are some Matcha DNA recipes



Matcha Pancakes

Ingredients:

150gflour
 1 egg
 1 teaspoonbaking powder
 1 tablespoon sugar
 a pinch of salt 
1 teaspoonrum
 1 cup milk(120ml) 
2 teaspoonsMatcha 
Assorted toppings, such as honey, butter, maple syrup, sweetened whipped cream, or chocolate syrup.

Preparation: 

1. In a bowl, mix all powders. 
2. Add beaten egg, milk and rum and whisk all together.
 3. Let the pancake mix stand for at least 15 minutes before cooking. 
4. Lightly grease the pan with oil. 
5. It is recommended to cool down the pan slightly on wet cloth before cooking. 
6. Cook large spoonfuls of batter until bubbles burst on the surface. 7. Turn and cook other side. 8. Add toppings as you like!

Matcha Latte

1. Start with putting 1 teaspoon of the powdered green tea called Matcha into a tall cup. If you see clumps in Matcha, it is better to sift the powder.
 2. The next step is to add 20ml of hot water, not boiling (about 80ºC) into the Matcha. 
3. Beat well with a cappuccino maker until you achieve foamed Matcha. 
4. Prepare hot milk, not boiling (about 60ºC). Beat the milk with a cappuccino maker. 
5. Now you have foamed matcha and foamed milk separately.
 6. Pour the steamed milk into your Matcha slowly. 
7. You will start to see white circle in the middle. 
8. Then put the foamy milk bubbles on the top of the steamed milk.

Open Road Snacks #Review



Your mouth has been missing out if you have not tried one of these amazing brand snacks from Open Road Snacks.

Open road snacks produces a few brands you may have seen around gas stations and convenience stores in town. I was lucky to have the chance to review Rocky Mountain Popcorn, Poplets, and Diago's Hot and Spicy Chips.



POPLETS




You know those few half popped kernels you always fight over at the bottom of a big bowl of popcorn? That is what Poplets are like except each Poplet is popped perfectly. 

They come in Asiago Ranch, Chile Picante, and Sea Salt & Butter. The Asiago Ranch did not make it more then 20 minutes. I kept saying ok ok this is it, rolling up the bag and putting it away. I also kept taking it out and rolling it and stuffing my face. addicting!


                                    Rocky Mountain Popcorn



Comes in four amazing Flavors Naked, Caramel, White Chedder, and Jalapeno.


Also two classics Butter and Kettle Corn. 
I would love to tell you how much I loved the Butter flavor, but my fiance ate it all before I had the chance. She claimed to have saved me some and then went "oops I guess I ate them all..sorry " Apparently they were THAT good! My all time favorite was without a doubt the Caramel. Such sweet crunch without that nasty stick in your teeth feeling. Plus the popcorn underneath was so fresh and delicious.

Diago's Hot and Spicy Chips


With flavors like Red chile and Habanero, you know your in for a fiery treat. These chips definitly had a bite, but they also packed so much flavor. Diago's Chips definitely were not just after the burn.
