If you are a fan of hot, spicy, flavorful dips, then the company's Damn That's Hot Dip is right up your alley. The company's new Cheeseburger Dip has all the taste of a cheeseburger in one convenient package, allowing you to enjoy yourself without slaving over hot coals. Pairing up beautifully with the Cheese- burger Dip is the new Dill Pickle Dip. For all who are pickle-holics, this is a hope- lessly addictive creation. Like all of Rabbit Creek Prod- ucts' wares, these dips are available in pri- vate label for free. The team at Rabbit Creek can be reached by email at rcreek@mokancomm.net or by phone at 800.837.3073. Visit the company online at www.rabbitcreekgourmet.com. Wind & Willow Table for 2 Table for 2 gives us the comfort food we crave without having to cook for a crowd. The line in- cludes soup mixes, pasta kits and heavenly desserts. The Mushroom Parmesan Pasta is particularly to die for, as is the Warm Apple Crisp (Grandma would be proud). In addition, one of consumers' favorite things about the line is the alter- nate recipes (use the White Cheddar Potato Soup to make Chicken Pot Pie for 2, for example).

Nourish Your Body with Products from Pacific Resources International Pacific Resources International continues to import America's favorite Manuka honeys. Importing high-quality New Zealand prod- ucts for three decades, PRI works directly with family-owned honey producers that take pride in producing the very best that New Zealand has to offer.

It is a sweet way to build good health. Manuka Honey Nuggets and Manuka Honey Lozenges are just a couple of the many Manuka healthcare products for the cough and cold season supplied by PRI. The company also offers a number of everyday treats and body care products. Mention the name "Manuka" in your email or phone call and receive a free bag of Manuka Honey Nuggets with every order. PRI also has a full range of other native honeys, including 100 percent raw multi- flora honey. It is the perfect honey for bak- ing or for that favorite hot drink with a rich sweet flavor to tickle the taste buds. Did you know that you can die from salt thirst? Your body needs a pure clean salt that con- tains all the natural trace elements to stay healthy. Most so-called "sea salts" just contain sodium chlo- ride. Sodium chloride by it- self is a dangerous chemical and will promote water retention and high blood pressure. Pacific Sea Salt from New Zealand is solar- and wind-dried for 13 months to retain all the natural trace elements that are required for a healthy lifestyle, including calcium and magnesium that help promote sleep. The salt contains no free-flowing agents, anti- caking agents or dyes – just pure clean sea salt the way it should be from nature. Check out PRI's new Smoked Mesquite Sea Salt for the perfect barbeque flavor. It is great on avocados, scrambled eggs or rubbed on meats or as a garnish on salads or vegetables. See all the great New Zealand products at www.shoppri.com, or visit the company at Expo East at booth 1239. For orders or more information, email info@pri-nz.com.
