Gourmet Breakfasts for the GENIUS – This book sits prominently in my kitchen! Not just because I am a recipe contributor, BUT it will elevate your breakfast game. A cookbook you will pick up and read for the stories, not just the recipes. Faiyaz Kara is a talented food writer who engages audiences with culinary wisdom punctuated with wit!

Great Lakes Chocolates and Dessert Co. – It is not just because the chocolatiers David and Shana Sicotte are fellow Culinary Institute of America alumni who are also from the Midwest (gotta support my neighbors in the middle #OhioGirl 😍), but that the organic cacao beans responsibly sourced. The small batches of indulgent chocolates and sweets are made with exquisite attention to detail that make my mouth water! People flip when they try these decadent treats.

Great North Woods Teas & Herbs – Is all about “quali-TEA”! The focus is on the carefully sourced organic ingredients hand blended into the artisan teas and tisanes. This is the gift to bring to a holiday brunch, stock your stockings with, and be sure to stock up and have a cuppa on hand for self and drop-in visitors.

Happylicious by Betsy Edible Cookie Dough – I have a sweet tooth and, in response, I keep tubs of Happylicious edible cookie dough in my fridge and freezer to satisfy cravings!
PAIRED WITH
Oceana Coffee Fuel Nitro Cold Brew Coffee – I always get the “Afternoon Pick-me-up” from Happylicious because I can get my fix from Oceana’s Iced Coffee. Specialty Grade coffee roasted in small batches to enhance and highlight the array of flavors reflected in the hard work of the farmers.

Grapes & Olives on Tap is a family-owned and operated business specializing in fresh, high quality, imported olive oil and perfectly oak-aged, Italian balsamic vinegar infused with herbs, citrus, berries, mushrooms, and fruits. I fell in love with the owners, Diane and Alejandro, years ago when I was traveling the country doing live cooking demos. These two are full of love and vivacious energy, which permeates everything they make. A perfect gift to bring to the party…all the guests will thank you with mouths full of sopping bread soaked in these delectable oils and vinegars.

QD Foodie Kitchen Tools – Quinn Daisy, a young girl who is blind that loves cooking with her friends in a watermelon shaped treehouse, inspired these tools. She is an animated character, but is real to us! These are Baby QT’s and mine new favorite kitchen tools. Made to inspire fun in the kitchen for EVERYONE – young, old, foodie, or eater. They have inspired us to share these foodie tools and the yummy food the tools make.

The Gluten-Free Instant Pot Cookbook – Calling all Instant Pot lovers. You bought into the hottest cooking trend last year and now what do you do?  Freshen up your mealtime line-up with this gem. My dear friend Sara DeLeeuw partnered up with Jane Bonacci to bring you some #radass #recipes!

Deli Fresh Threads – Unique gifts that will bring any recipient pure joy! Sandwich-inspired t-shirts that are wrapped, packaged, and served up like a deli sub. You will soon understand why I have multiple designs hanging in my #RetroRad closet! This tee is inspired by owner Anthony “Biggie” Bencomo’s #SandwichEatUp events that support local sandwich shops. Designed by Noble Folk Design, this shirt is a fun reminder to not just #ShopSmall, #EatLocal too.

Māla Girl Broths – Organically crafted sipping broths that feed the soul! – BROTH WITH A PURPOSE crafted by my girlfriend Raechel Barfield (a flavor wizard). I enjoy sipping on as a midday snack, stirring into meal inspos, and I use a tool to curb appetite during those days!

But, wait…ONE more giveaway!!  Cheers to ringing in the holiday in high spirits!!
