New Orleans Spicy Remoulade Sauce

I have to admit it...I have an addiction to crab cakes with Remoulade Sauce. Not really, but I do love them. I have already shared with you my recipe for crabmeat stuffed flounder. You can't have crab without the sauce, that would be a sin. Another fun thing to do with Remoulade Sauce is to toss some fried shrimp in it and serve as an appetizer Hope you like it!

When I was contacted by Carolina Castile Soap to do a review I was really excited. What my family has known for a long time is that I love Castile Soap. I use it for everything around the house. 

I have two small dogs and a cat. Although we take care of keeping fleas off of our animals, we get fleas in the house. I had read that mopping with peppermint castile soap would help rid your house of fleas. I don't have carpet but I have a few rugs. There was no exact science to how much I used, but I filled my mop sink about half way with hot water and added about a half of a cup of Carolina Peppermint Castile Soap. After one week of mopping with the Carolina Peppermint Castile Soap, they were gone! It worked! 

Castile Soap has so many uses:

1. You can use it as a dish soap. I have found it works great on pots and pans. It breaks down the grease.

2. Vegetable Cleaner- I add 1 tablespoon of Carolina Castile Soap to 2 Cups of water. 

3. Hand Soap- I refill a foaming hand soap dispenser over and over again. 1 part Soap to 5 parts water. I love using the Lavender for this. Saves me bunches.

4.  This one is my favorite- Dog Shampoo! Dog shampoos are sooo expensive. Mix 1 part Soap and 2 parts Water. It works great! 

5. Household cleaner- In a spray bottle I add 1/2 cup of soap to 3 cups of water. I use it to clean the bathroom, counter tops, table, etc. They even have it in Citrus Scent. 

Did you know you can even use it as a laundry detergent? I just found out and can't wait to try it. Check out Carolina Castile Soap for more uses. 

Carolina Castile Soap has great prices and if you look for the logo..some items ship for free with a purchase over $10! There are several different scents and sizes. An 8oz bottle of Peppermint is only $7.99!

The wonderful people at Carolina Castile Soap is offering one lucky reader:

OTZ SHOES

I was sent a pair of OTZ 300GMS Shoes for a review. The wonderful people at OTZ asked me to pick out the color that I wanted. With 27 different colors to choose from, it was so hard for me to choose. I decided on a neutral color, beige. I figured it would go with anything I would wear. Now that I have them, I want them in every color! These are the most comfortable and fun shoes. They are perfect for when I'm riding Piglet. 


They are made with Cork. This lets you wear them with or without socks. It reduces bacteria buildup and they are washable. All you have to do is remove the footbed. I love that these are made with a soft linen.  
 Here is a little more information about the OTZ 300GMS:

• Italian made coarse linen has been stone washed for a completely unique look and feel.


• Anti-microbial cork footbed is anatomically designed to promote a healthy posture.


• Natural jute is co-molded with the rubber outsole.


• Upper is stitched directly to the outsole creating a unique design with minimal use of glues.


• Fitted with our patent pending CORKlite™.

Look how much Piglet love them!

The OTZ 300GMS are the perfect shoes for riding Piglet, shopping or really for anything. OTZ Shoes also have other types of shoes for men and women. Here are just a few:

Win A Set of 3 Wonderful Spices in Magnetic Jars from 

Gneiss Spice!!!

***Gneiss Spice Etsy Store***

I think everyone knows how much I love Etsy Stores. I am addicted to Etsy. If you have never been to their site, you have no idea what you are missing. Gneiss Spice is a specialty spice store. They have a huge variety of spices. The spice jars are magnetic! You can stick them on your fridge or any other appliance. How cute is this? 
I was sent the Smoked Salts to try:

It included three all-natural, smoky salts:

•ALDER (North America)--Pacific Sea Salt is slow smoked over real alderwood, giving it an authentic, clean smoke flavor. Salish™ smoked sea salt is a 100% natural way to add authentic smoked flavor with no strange aftertaste. No liquid smoke, artificial flavors or coloring are added. Once referring to the Puget Sound, the name Salish comes from the Native American Indians- the first to inhabit the great Pacific Northwest. Red Alderwood has been used to smoke salmon and other meats for hundreds and hundreds of years, making it a true Northwest tradition. Small grain.

• APPLE—A flaky sea salt that utilizes sweet Applewood to fuel the fires that flavor this naturally smoked sea salt. Aged Applewood is one of the most popular of the fruit woods used in smoking, and creates a delicious, savory flavor. Yakima Smoked Sea Salt has a subtle fruit wood flavor that is mild enough to use with fish, shellfish, and poultry. Pork, sausage, ham, and bacon are also delicious when cooked or cured with this smoked salt.

• HICKORY—This salt is created when delicate Pacific sea salt flakes are naturally smoked over premium Hickory hard wood. The resulting smoke flavor is full and clean without the bitterness. No artificial flavors added. Hickory smoke is synonymous with southern cooking. Durango works magic with ribs, burgers, red meat, turkey, and chicken.
I decided to cook chicken breast using the Hickory Smoked
 Salt. When I first opened the jar, the smell of smoked hickory filled the room. 

 

A little bit of chicken, some black truffle oil, a dash of garlic powder, and some Hickory Smoked Salt...and voila! The Hickory was the perfect choice. It gave it such a wonderful smoky flavor that complimented the Black truffle oil perfectly. 

Here are a few other things that Gneiss Spice has to offer:

 Wellness Kit  •cayenne (ground)•clove (whole)•cinnamon (ground) •garlic (ground)•rosemary •thyme•turmeric

    French Spice Kit       

• mustard (seeds)

• quatre spice (an all purpose french spice blend )
