BzzAgent Review: Kashi Hummus Crisps

Another review for the amazing BzzAgent website for Kashi Hummus Crisps. As always, although I was provided this product for free, this is my own opinion.



I was really excited to be able to try this. I am a HUGE hummus fan. I really can't get enough of the stuff. So when BzzAgent sent me an e-mail about the campaign, I jumped at a chance to participate.



As always, some information about the product first. Kashi Hummus Crisps are air-poppped chickpea crisps that are made without partially hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, or artificial anything. They have at least 5g of whole grain, 3g of fiber and 3g of protein. What is even more fantastic is that the serving size is 27 chips! And only 120 calories for that 27! Can you believe it? Compare that to most chips out there (I'm looking at YOU, Doritos!) that only have a serving size of 11 chips for more calories! So it's an all around healthy snack.



The Kashi Hummus Crisps that I got were the Sea Salt & Olive Oil flavor. Right away as I opened the bag and took a whiff, I knew I was going to be in love. They smelled delicious! I popped one into my mouth and I was NOT disappointed. They were puffy, airy and just delicious. You could not just taste the sea salt, but the olive oil as well, which was shocking to me! Even with that, the flavor wasn't overpowering enough that I couldn't also taste the chickpeas. Texture-wise, they weren't quite as crispy as I would have preferred. I figured I wouldn't get the same crunch as with normal chips, but I worry how it would hold up getting wet when used with a dip.



All in all, if I had to give this a rating, I would give it a 4/5, mainly because I wasn't quite a fan of the texture. But mouth feels aside, I absolutely loved it. As a huge fan of salty chips, I couldn't get enough. Between me and my family, the bag didn't last much of the day. It also comes in two other flavors: Caramelized Onion and Sundried Tomato Basil & Feta. I've heard the former is very reminiscent of Funyuns, and the latter like a margarita pizza. The price is a little on the expensive side, but that is how it seems to be with healthier snacks vs the "naughty" ones. These won't be completely replacing my more unhealthy options, but they will definitely be something I will pick up every now and then.

ASMR - Tingles Everywhere

I have a lot of problems with my anxiety that gets so bad that I can't even leave the house. It also disrupts my sleep and I get pretty sleep deprived. I take enough pills already, and I didn't want to tack an addictive sleeping pill on top of everything. But I finally found something that actually relaxes me enough that I can finally get some very much needed shuteye. ASMR videos. ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. ASMR Research & Support defines it as "a physical sensation characterized by a pleasurable tingling that typically begins in the head and scalp, and often moves down the spine and through the limbs." These tingling sensations are triggered by either an internal trigger (from specific thought patterns) or external ones. External triggers can include things like whispering or unique speech patters, watching educational/instructive videos, sounds like scratching, tapping or paper crinkling, close attention from another person (like e

Smiley360 Review: Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project

So recently, I was chosen for Smiley360's " Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project ". In this we were to brine a chicken or turkey using Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Although I received these items to review for free, this is entirely my own opinion. I also apologize ahead of time for my usually horrible pictures as my cell phone has trouble in low light. I think it's time to start using a proper camera! "Experience the taste of umami in your meals with Kikkoman Soy Sauce . Try cooking with this dynamic sauce in traditional Asian dishes, mainstream American foods, classic Mediterranean dishes, Caribbean cuisine, or even to brine poultry." I've never brined poultry before, so I was excited to participate. I received not only 2 coupons for a free bottle of Kikkoman Soy Sauce, but a 5 gallon brining bucket as well. First, here's the recipe that was recommended: Kikkoman Chicken Brine Recipe Ingredients 2 cups Kikkoman Soy Sauce 2 Gallons water 1

Fractals and Pokemon

I've been quite busy the past few months and neglected to update the blog! Hopefully soon I will also be able to post about Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Some of the things that relate to my Borderline Personality Disorder can be difficult to discuss about, but I want to talk about it in the hopes that it helps someone. But for now, I hope you enjoy some of the newer art I have been working on. One of my dear friends really likes Vaporeon and Eevee. I haven't drawn anything in years, but I wanted to try to give him something special. I used a reference image that I found online on my second monitor. The original image was from a coloring page on a site that had many, so I do not know the original artist. I will add a credit here as soon as I find out! Here is the original sketch. As you can see, I cannot draw a straight line for the life of me. I use an (old) Wacom Bamboo tablet, but even with a nice pen, I can't draw straight. Which is fine, since then I
