Taste Trunk - Gourmet Trunk - August 2013

Outside of box. Very cute wax seal. BTW-Holy dark photos Batman!

Taste Trunk is a monthly food subscription box that comes in four different categories. {see below}

The Cost: $34.99 a month {$29 + $5.99 for shipping}

The Goods: 5 to 10 products in the category of your choice {you can switch up the trunk categories month to month} of Gourmet, Sweet, Healthy, or BBQ. They also include info on each company & product, as well as some coupon codes and recipes.

First look - Look at that packaging...I know it's going to be a good box when this is my first look!

 


Second First Look - Nothing is getting broken in this box!


The Goods

The info cards
{I'm really impressed with the amount of company information, and the recipes on these cards. Fantastic!}

 
 
The Jam Stand in Drunken Monkey Jam
 
{I've seen this jam swirling around in the subscription box world, and I'm excited to finally have a chance to try it! I make jam & jelly...and can say that there is nothing better than well made jam, until you add booze to it! ha! I love to add alcohol to my jams & jellies, and I can't wait to try this one!}

 
 
Iveta Scone Mix in Apricot
 
{I'm always on the fence about mixes - probably because I make most of our goods from scratch...I make a dang good scone! I've found really good reviews on this one though, so I'm going to save this little gem for a rainy day when I'm out of scone ingredients.}

 
Two Snooty Chefs Kansas City Steak Seasoning
 
{I've already tried this on two different things: club steaks that we then broiled - YUM! and oven roasted Chicken - Equally YUM! I see this lovely seasoning being used up very quickly in our house. Squish was even intrigued by this - see the bottom of the post.}


 
The Girl & The Fig Lavender Sea Salt
 
{I'm at a loss on this one. I have NO idea what to do with this. If it was Lavender Sugar...oh, okay I know what I'd use it on, but it's sea salt. I might try it on a veggie bake or something...hmmm.}


 
 
Cucina & Amore Pesto Alla Siciliana Sun-Dried Tomato
 
{I die...seriously, the people at Taste Trunk must have really done their research on me - of course, I'm sure they do research on each individual customer right?? This is such a good fit for me! This item right here is the reason why I kept my subscription in the gourmet category.}
 
 


 
 
Susan's Gourmet Salsa Relish in Mild
 
{I'm excited to try this. It looks delish. B-Real wrinkled his nose at this, but it's a "poop fruit" product - tomato...so I'll be able to enjoy this little baby all by myself!}
 
 
The Lowdown: I really loved all the items in this first box from Taste Trunk. It wasn't a huge value over what I paid, but it was on point. The items are new to me, and I got to discover some products that normally I wouldn't have access to where we live.

Here's some cuteness for your consideration in the matter:
 
She loves the Kansas City Steak seasoning...that's mama's girl!
