August 7, 2020

Summer is here and we’re looking forward to making some cool snacks for those hot days. Here are some of our to summer faves!

Playing with your food is OK sometimes

Don’t Play With Your Food Doesn’t Apply!

  • One of my boys’ favorites growing up was grabbing sand buckets, vanilla pudding, vanilla wafers, Oreos and your choice of gummies, teddy grahams, candy and drink umbrellas and make adorable (and yummy) sand pudding buckets. Super easy and a fun gift to deliver to neighbors to help them cool off. 
  • Whip up a batch of homemade ice cream sandwiches with your favorite ice cream flavors and cookie or brownie batter. This stackable mold makes it easy: First, bake the cookies in the silicone molds, then fill with ice cream and freeze. Fresh, delicious ice cream sandwiches are ready in no time.
  • Let’s Have a Ball – make ice cream in a ball.
  • The zombie apocalypse is coming to your house! Make these fun popsicles.
  • Create refreshing shaved Ice, snow cones, slush drinks, margaritas, daiquiris and more! Features a stainless steel cutting blade that quickly shaves ice cubes into fluffy, snow-like ice. Use the included snow cone cup holder to keep your snow cone cup secure, or remove it to fill a serving bowl to make a number of snow and slush-style drinks.

Chill Out! 

  • The Drinkworks™ drinkmaker prepares cocktails, beer, and more at home using proprietary Drinkworks™ Pods. Each drink is made consistently every time using a Pod-specified mix of chilled water and carbonation. A variety of Drinkworks™ Pod Collections include classic and specialty cocktail offerings, leading beer brands like Beck’s, Bass, and Stella Artois, and signature mixers.

Two CO2 canisters, cleaning tablets and a water filter are included in your purchase (over a $30 value). Pods sold separately.
  • Get the party started with Margaritaville Bahamas frozen concoction maker.
  • Slice up your fruit easily with this Watermelon windmill cutter is a summer must-have. No more messy chopping and cutting, this windmill cuts your watermelon into bite-size squares in seconds. It’s perfect for making a fruit platter or just for cutting watermelon to enjoy later. Less mess and a fun kitchen gadget—we love it!

Top Dog 

  • Popsicles aren’t just for your hoomans, your furry kids will enjoy these amazing popsicles made just for them. Recipe here. Ice cream is always a favorite for pooches too, you can make this one at home, or buy Frosty Paws for your pups!

The Cat’s Meow

  • Indulge your cat with a cool treat they will surely enjoy. Pet Winery’s Cat Ice Cream is purrfect for those hot summer days! Made with REAL lactose-free goat milk powder and mixed with a flavor they will love…..Bonito (fish) flakes! Make a special treat using this fish mold for your cat out of water and a tiny bit of chicken broth and then you can throw in a couple pieces of their kibble or treats so they will be able to play with it as it melts. 

For the Whole Kit and Kaboodle 

  • Chefman’s Frozurt Dessert Maker makes simple, healthy, dairy-free, vegan creations, such as frozen yogurt, sorbet, and sherbet – with no additional fat, sugar, or preservatives needed, so you can enjoy the sweet taste of dessert without the guilt or calories.

Jennifer is a girl that gets it! Over the course of two years, I had the pleasure of working with her on several morning show TV Segments at KUSI in San Diego, From the very start, Jennifer brought a whole new level of creativity and spark to each show. Whether we featured great gift ideas or style tips on fashion or home décor, Jennifer was involved in the entire process, making sure every last detail received the utmost attention. At the studio, she brought her wide breadth of knowledge, her creative input and of course her million-dollar on-camera smile. I have worked with thousands of media personnel and can say that Jen is a true gem – she’s not only a savvy business woman, she’s a wonderful wife and mother, a dog lover, and a colleague I’m proud to call my friend.

I’ve worked with Jennifer on many occasions, beginning when we were at Meier & Frank and up until she made many successful appearances on a TV show I hosted. What is most outstanding is that Jen is supportive, generous and respectful to everyone, whether they rank below, beside or above her. The thing about Jen is that you may start as colleagues, but you’re likely to end up as friends. I look forward to working with and around her for many years.

Jennifer Munoz understands that time is of the essence in the broadcasting business. She knows how to cut through the red tape fast and get reporters exactly what they’re looking for. She also makes herself readily available so time isn’t wasted trying to track the right person down. Jennifer also has a great sense for pitching stories that are attractive t news outlets and therefor are more likely to be covered.

We know it can be tough to maneuver through all the hoops to gain approval in a corporate environment, but working with Jennifer Munoz has always proven to be an extreme pleasure. Not only has she gone the extra mile for vendors, buyer and members of the senior management team to get them the information they need about a show to make an educated decision about the company’s branding and position;ing, she always made sure the production side, including the talent, was well taken care of. She is one of the only true partners left out there – not only extremely dependable, but she’s one of the hardest working gals I know. I would highly recommend working with her and the Press Retriever.

Jennifer is a polished professional who delivers what she promises, During the several years I worked with her, she went from the new-kid on the block to the publicist we most often relied on for fashion and home related products and vendors. Jennifer went the extra mile to make certain she knew exactly what we were looking for and never came back to us empty-handed. She responded to our off-beat requests with a great attitude and product knowledge to match. Jennifer consistently went the extra mile while others came up short and wasn’t phased by the tight deadlines of a daily show!
