Recipes Reviews and Gadgets

I do quite a bit shopping from QVC and most of the time it is food related. I have bought Mrs. Prindables Apples (more than once), crab cakes, and cheesecakes. I love their food choices, and they deliver fast. I love that you can watch the episodes live on your computer, how convenient when you are travelling. Almost every holiday throughout the year, I buy my husband some food item from QVC and he has not been disappointed. For about six months now I have been reading the reviews on Kim and Scott’s filled pretzels, and they have been about fifty fifty. Some say they are great, others say there is not enough filling and not worth the money. Well I bit the bullet and ordered the fourty-eight piece pizza sampler for him for this Valentine’ s Day. It was hard to hide the rather large box that came so he opened it early. Last night he popped a few in the oven and to my dismay it was not the sampler, which was to consist of pepperoni, sausage and the works. They were all CHEESE! How do I know for sure, my husband kept heating up one after another to be sure. Ok, he actually loved them!

I called the QVC customer service department to verify I had ordered the sampler, and the nicest woman told me I did and it must have been a packing error. My husband was in the background saying the cheese was wonderful. She was laughing and said to tell him he could finish those up and his sampler would be on the way followed by his free Nutri-System kit. What a perfect line! She said to enjoy them all!

He better pace himself! The pretzels are a geat snack, appetizer, or a side to a soup or salad for a light meal.

You can check them out on the QVC website or on Kim and Scotts own website. They even have dessert pretzels, and many other unique flavors.

During a last minute journey to Florida a couple weeks ago, my sister in law, and brother in law, took my husband and I to the Belleview Biltmore for Sunday champagne brunch. What a great way to start our first morning of our vacation, a nice hearty meal. It was a beautiful sunny day, which sure beat the snow back home in the northeast, and we were able to get a nice table outside. I did not have the mimosa, I opted for a Bloody Mary instead which was wonderful! The list of food options was incredible.

There were breakfast items such as oatmeal, yogurt, cereal, bacon, sausage, and eggs. I did not even touch any of that. I did have an omelet made for me at that omelet bar, and I had eggs benedict. There were so many salads, with meat, veggies, and seafood, I am not sure how many I tried! There was marinated everything - artichokes, eggplant, olives, and asparagus. Cheese from every country available. Sushi, sashami and seaweed salad, I am a big fan of this.

There were plenty of hot dishes, but I did even open half the lids. I know there was a salmon dish, a pasta dish, and green beans. I do not even recall if I made it over to the prime rib.

If you are a seafood lover there was seafood galore - shrimp, king crab legs, oysters on the half shell, and smoked salmon.

DESSERTS! Yes I had way too many of these! This is my weakness! Carrot cake, flan, chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate EVERYTHING! If it had chocolate I think I had it. I remember also having a screaming migraine later that day.

The price was $21.95 and worth every penny. We all enjoyed it and will definitely go back on our next visit. As I said I skipped quite a bit of food. I recommend you try it out the next time you are in the area!
