Lower price. Fewer calories. Fewer chemicals. Fewer additives. No artificial colors. Lower sodium. No cans or bottles means less work – less shopping, less schleppping, less garbage. And a decreased carbon footprint. Sounds good, doesn’t it? It’s possible. You can enjoy less expensive, healthier soft drinks and live a more eco-friendly lifestyle AND it’s less work for you! Yes, it’s possible.
With a Soda-Club Home Soda Maker
. Sleek and stylish, the home soda maker is a countertop appliance about the size of a coffeemaker that transforms water into fresh, fizzy seltzer/sparkling water at the push of a button. Soda makers operate without batteries, electricity or plumbing. Making seltzer and soda takes just seconds and requires no clean-up. A reusable, one-liter carbonating bottle (provided by Soda-Club) is filled with water and screwed into the machine fitting. A CO2 carbonator, housed inside the soda maker, adds carbonation at the touch of a button – as much or as little carbonation as you prefer. After carbonating the water, you can add one of over 25 different Soda-Club
sodamix flavors to make your favorite, great-tasting soda. Or add a splash of your favorite fresh juice for a completely natural sparkling beverage.
Sugar free flavors are available. As are low-sodium selections and energy drink formulas. All Soda-Club flavor syrups are certified Kosher.

The problem with sending someone cookies as a holiday gift is that they most likely already have some cookies. And some cake. And loads of other holiday treats. Consider the gift of cookies that will give back later. Frozen Dough
– or what I like to think of as cookies on demand!
Each three pound tub makes approximately 4 dozen cookies. You can send a gift package of two tubs of dough and a scoop for $42.95. Choose from any of their seven delicious flavors. Chocolate chunk. White chocolate chunk. White chocolate macadamia nut. Oatmeal raisin. Peanut butter. Sugar. M&M. Yum!
And for extra family fun, consider the Cookie Play Dough
.
Just as much fun and when you’re done playing – the cookies are as delicious as they are beautiful. A set of two (6 pounds of dough) sells for $44.95.

Or someone else’s… If you’ve ever been to Costa Rica or Peru, you might have even been lucky enough to visit a coffee plantation. And if you’re a true coffee fiend, you know that nothing comes even close to the that brew of freshly roasted plantation heaven. And now you can enjoy a taste of that heaven every single day with fabulous exotic estate blends of the plantations of Costa Rica and Peru from Cafe Britt
.
Unlike the options at some boutique roasters, all Cafe Britt coffees are available ground or whole bean. They’ve got organic coffees and region exclusive blends. All of their gourmet coffees are roasted, packaged and shipped fresh. They’ve also got chocolates, nuts and other treats – many featuring coffee and coffee beans, others perfect for enjoying with a great cup of coffee.

Coffee’s a great gift any time of year. After all, any addict appreciates knowing where their next fix is coming from. Even not so serious coffee drinkers enjoy sampling a new brew or two. For coffee gifts that can’t go wrong, send coffee from StarbucksStore.com 
. There are always new and interesting brews sure to picque the curiousity of even the most loyal devotees of another roaster. Right now they’re offering a fabulous 100% Kona Coffee – Limited Availability at StarbucksStore.com 
. They also offer Organic Coffees 
. Unless you know for a fact that the recipient prefers ground coffee, I suggest sending whole bean coffee. Whole beans will satisfy the most critical audience – serious coffee heads (myself included) who grind their own beans every day because they know whole bean coffee is fresher. And because there’s a Starbucks 
just about everywhere, your gift has complete flexibility. Non-grinders can easily have their coffee ground to their personal specifications. Caf can be exchanged for de-caf. Espresso roast for breakfast blend. Coffee for Tazo Tea. You get the picture.
You might be reading this and thinking – why don’t I just send a Starbucks gift card? Well you could, depending on the recipient and the occasion. This is for when you don’t want to send a gift card – for one of those occasions when only the actual gift of caffeine will do. And if you do get it wrong, Starbucks will be able to make it right just around the corner.
FYI: Most Starbucks whole bean and ground coffees are certified Kosher. Some flavor syrups, candies, cookies, mixes and other food products are Kosher; others are not. See individual product description for details.

And tastier, too! Here’s a great tip if you know you’re about to be facing a revolving door of hungry guests this holiday season. Why not stock up on some ready to heat and eat treats? No, I’m not suggesting that you load up on frozen pizzas and microwave popcorn. (Although that’s not a bad idea either, depending on the crowd you expect.) I’m talking about tasty gourmet tidbits. The kind of nibblies that will make every guest feel as if you’ve gone out of your way to plan a special treat just for them. Like any of the over 150 appetizer options from AppetizersToGo.com

I read an article that purported to have the ten secrets to the greatest grilled cheese sandwich. Some of the tips were good and very true. For example, every true cheese lover knows that grated or crumbled cheese is better for melting than slices of cheese. And yes, a grilled cheese sandwich is definitely better when it is grilled with real butter. On the other hand, when the writer continued to state that the ultimate grilled cheese sandwich recipe included only two ounces of grated cheddar cheese I nearly fell of my chair. Maybe a grilled cheese sandwich for a child requires only two ounces of only one type of cheese. But the ULTIMATE grilled cheese sandwich certainly requires something more.
I generally use three types of cheese. I always use a bit of cheddar or American as a base. My other two choices are usually something ripe and unpasteurized like a Morbier or maybe even a sheep’s milk cheese. Sometimes I use something milder and nutty like a Comte. There is no true recipe for the ultimate grilled cheese – the key is to use really good cheese and plenty of it. Be creative. There is no wrong answer! And the same is true of mac and cheese, by the way. If you’re a cheese snob like me and can’t easily find your favorites, check out Shop igourmet.com
– They carry over 500 different cheeses from every corner of the world. They’ve got French, Italian, Dutch, South American, Scottish, Portuguese, Polish and Norwegian cheeses, and that’s just a start.
