Bees Blessing

I have a soft spot for products made locally. When you combine that soft spot with cooking and beautiful packaging - things get can get a bit crazy! Over the past year, I've been lucky enough to meet Jo from Bees Blessing. And I can guarantee she is as delightful as all their products! Tonight I made an absolutely delicious marinade for our chicken made with their latest treasure: Lemon & Thyme.  I've never tasted anything so tender and full of flavour - it was absolutely fantastic. The chicken tenderloins were only marinaded for 30 minutes before being grilled. Here is what I made this evening (give or take). 1/4 cup Bees Blessing 3 Tbs soy sauce 2 tsp fresh ginger 2 Tbs fresh garlic 1 tsp chili flakes 1 tsp dried coriander The chicken was served along side a large green salad made out of: baby spinach basil sundried tomato feta sundried tomatoes pine nuts sunflower seeds Look for Bees Blessing in a cafe or store near you and make sure to pick it up on your next shop!  I guarantee you won't regret it!

Holiday Gift Find - Flora Waycott Design

Can you believe the holiday season is only six weeks away? Being in the sales industry we started designing for the holiday season back in June / July but it's amazing how time flys and it's finally here! Last week when I was in Wellington at Craft2.0 I finally got to see the beautiful products by Flora Waycott Design in person!  Her array of textiles and prints are even more vibrant in person and would make beautiful gifts for your family and friends this holiday season.  All her items are screen printed and either printed on fabric or paper - making them nice and light for mailing! You can find a full range of her products and list of stockists on her site or go directly to her Etsy shop to see more of her beautiful products. Hope you're all having a fantastic week and enjoy Flora's products as much as I do! x
