Rumiano Organic Non-GMO Cheese - Review #RumianoCheese

Trying to have a healthier life style and eat better is not always easy. Mind setting is hard, but I have noticed that the hardest thing is to find products that taste good and are good for you. 

With all new research out there about the issues with GMOs and chemicals in your food, it is important to be able to find good products for everyday meals at home that are good for your family and chemicals free.

I was very happy when I got some coupons to try the Rumiano Organic Non-GMO cheese. It was good to find out that the cheese has a great flavor and it is creamy as we like it. My son could not tell he was eating a different kind of cheese, although he was happy when I told him it was Organic and GMO free.

We made some grilled cheese sandwich and the cheese melted right away. No difference in flavor or consistency. I know that products like this will help us continue changing our eating habits. 

About Rumiano Cheese

Rumiano Cheese Company is the oldest family-owned cheese company in California dating back four generations.  Rumiano Cheese Company is committed to the organic and Non-GMO movement and continuing to produce the highest quality cheese inspired by their founding father’s recipes and cheese making techniques.  In 2011, Rumiano launched their Rumiano Family Organic line, which is the first cheese in the US market to receive Non-GMO Project Verification.

Silicone 24 Cup MINI Muffin Pan  by Grazia -Review #muffinpans

I love to bake. I enjoying making treats for my family and friends. I am always looking for ways to get creative in the kitchen, so when I got this sample to review, I was really excited about it.

I am used to the metallic baking cupcakes molds, and I have heard really great things about silicone, so I was excited to try it out. My first impression was the the material was good.

I baked some cupcakes for the last day of school for the kids, I the size was just great for kids. Mini-cupcakes make it easy for kids to eat and parents do not have to worry about too much sweets and sugar.

The mold was easy to fill and easy to remove the cupcakes from the mold. It was also easy to clean.

The only con I can find is that I need to use a cooking sheet under the silicone mold for it to stay on the baking rack.

I want to get the bigger size now, because I did like the material and how easy it was the clean it up after baking.
