The World Trade Organization has declared that the the USDA’s COOL (Country Of Origin Label) mandates on muscled meat products violate international trade policies. This ruling was decided after Mexico and Canada filed complaints (in June of last year) to the WTO stating that the words “Product of the U.S” or the Product of USA label on beef products gave the American beef industry an unfair advantage. The USDA has until May 23 to remedy the problem or the US could face trade sanctions.

Review and Giveaway: Cocktail Recipes with a High-Powered Blendtec Blender
If you’ve never used a Blendtec blender before, I suggest you try it. After receiving a Blendtec blender to review in March, I’ve used it almost every day since. I’ve used it to make smoothies, sauces, hummus, nut butters, and cocktails. Blendtec is famous for their “Will It Blend?” series on YouTube which you MUST check out if you haven’t already seen it. The blender, which is made in Orem, Utah, has so many features making it my go-to, most frequently used kitchen appliance. Every time someone asks me about my Blendtec, I’m brimming with enthusiasm. What can I say? It’s just one of those things I cannot live without!
