Go Gourmet with Gourmet du Village!

-

Thanks to Tryazon, I was honored to host an Awesome Dipping Party to taste test the works from Gourmet du Village!
My Party Pack included:

A recipe book and printable host guide
2 - baking dishes with lids
2 - Crab dips
2 - Hot Parmesan and Artichoke dips
1 - Roasted Chipotle and Garlic dip
1 - Spinach Artichoke dip
1 - Hot Caramelised Onion dip
1 - Cheddar and Bacon dip
2 - bags of gourmet chips
Coupons for future purchases for my guests!

One thing I loved was that on each dip mix box is a flap, where inside, they include recipes you can use that mix with. Like on the Roasted Chipotle and Garlic mix box, they included recipes for a Chipotle Chicken Casserole as well as the dip recipe. I also like the idea of the Mini Meatloaves Wrapped included bacon recipe from the Cheddar and Bacon Dip box. I am actually planning on making that for a Sunday dinner now, so I definitely have to order more of these.

We tried the Cheddar and Bacon Dip and the Caramelised onion dip.
The gourmet chips tasted great, with lots of crunch and lots of flavor. They went fast, so I am glad I had bought a variety of extra chips and breads just in case!

Most of my guests commented on the delicious taste of the dip and the fact that they liked that these were more than dips. They liked that you can use them in recipes such as a chicken pot pie or crab cakes or soups, etc. I ended up making copies of some of the recipes for my friends to try as well as giving a few of the dips to them to take home and try.

The rich, full flavor and the consistency of the dips made it so delicious. It didn't taste like your average store bought dip. It felt fancy, like we were at a fancy restaurant.

And the best part for me, besides the delicious dips of course, was the baking dishes! They are dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe. And such a bright, and warming red color! I love them. And my friends and family were so jealous!

I did suggest in my final survey that maybe next time, they could make up some more common type dips like a ranch dip or a garlic dip that are more plain if the people are not into the crab and artichoke flavoring. You can still make a fancy dip out of those too. My kids and some of my family and friends were not interested in trying the crab and artichoke dips.


A little history on the Gourmet du Village company: Mike and Linda Tottenham started making their own special blends in 1982 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It started as a hobby and enjoyment of cooking, but soon became something they would take to local markets and fairs, and is now and "cottage industry." They now provide gourmet dips and mixes to all across Canada and the United States and they have won several awards over the last 30 years from National and Canadian food shows.

Freebie FAQs: How to Get Stuff For Free!

-

(Updated January 2025) Hey there, I am going to tell you how I get Freebies, but first I have to be honest... While the products and stuff I get may be free when thinking monetarily, it's not always just free, per se.  I do work hard for my free stuff. If you want to be a full time freebie finder or product reviewer, social media influencer, prepare to work hard and be on your phone or computer, a lot.  Plus the time it takes to really look at and try and prepare to review the products you received.  Each site will take time to participate in. You don’t want to overwhelm yourself when you first start. Some sites take more involvement than others, especially survey sites. I am a part of many of survey sites along with my many freebie/review/product sampling sites and communities, but I started with a few and then joined more over the years. I started survey sites and product review programs in 2011. I've been doing this for years now and put a lot of effort and time into i...

Rad Women Worldwide! Review

Image
I think, for being a girl, the biggest motivation and inspiration comes from reading about other women who changed the world and make a major impact in how we live and how things are done today. It seems we often hear about the men who have made history, but what about us girls?!?  I recently read the book, Rad Women Worldwide , by Kate Schatz, illustrated by Miriam Klein Stahl, and was inspired by all the stories about women in sports, medicine, science, along with the pirates, punks and revolutionaries.  There are some remarkable women out there who have done equally amazing things and this book is full of them. From the look and design of the book, to the stories inside, it is a very visually attractive with a modern focus on women.  I really love the bright colors and fun presentation of this book. It is like a fun trip in history. Each story is well researched and engaging and inspiring. The content of it covers from 430 B.C. to the year 2016 in 31 cou...

Johnsonville Steals My Grill Again with New Grillers And I Love It!

Went to Safeway today and got us some Johnsonville Grillers ! The clerk who checked us out was totally jealous! ;-) I chose the Cheddar Bacon because it just looked and sounded delicious! Oh, and it was! They were so easy to cook. Literally just pull them out of the box, remove the paper separating them and grill em! I stood there and watched them cook, and was overjoyed by the smell wafting up to me! Thank goodness it didn't take long to cook, I swear I could have drooled buckets. I felt like Homer when it comes to donuts! Haha! I loved the smell, as much as the juicy, flavorful taste. It was like a hamburger but so much better. Each bite was full of cheese and a little bacon, and delicious, quality pork sausage. I was actually a little suprised at how much I liked them. My in laws also loved them, and agreed about the juicy taste, and the box went fast. Really fast. Now I just can't wait to try the rest of them! I know what I'm getting on my next shopping trip! I’m a...
