Imperfect Produce: A Review

Image
I received a  referral code for Imperfect Produce  while soliciting people's favorite subscription boxes in a social media post. After about a whole 10 minutes of looking over the site and viewing prices, I had chosen the small, organic box delivered every other week. To clarify what making a decision in 10 minutes of looking into a product means—you have to understand—I still have stuff in any given online shopping cart for a week before I either commit or delete it. So, it delivered at the end of the week (that just happens to be when they deliver to my area). I was sent an "oops" email saying that they were not able to add the Organic Pears and Mandarins and would be crediting me according to how much they would have cost me as well as the delivery fee (I guess I forgot there would be one?). But then this email made me realize, I had forgotten to get online during their selection process window to pick out what I actually wanted in my box. My anxiety peake

My First Whole30 Fail

Image
Photo by Igor Ovsyannykov / Unsplash I had my first fail yesterday and I ain't even [that] mad. Though, I am feeling completely bloated. Here's my excuse/reason/whatever-you-wanna-call-it: I am sitting at work, minding my own business when a group of co-workers walk in and invite me down to have my pick at left over – catered – Mexican food. I had just finished my lunch of garlic shrimp with red bell peppers I had prepped the night before (it was delicious and filling) and I let them know. One of the women reminded me I could take it home to feed the kid-o. So, I trotted along side them chatting, enjoying the time away from my desk until we got to this hall way of heaven. This was AUTHENTIC Mexican food. I took a paper plate and added a piece of delicious smelling chicken breast next to a pile of colorful potato medley that in my mind I knew my child would scoff at. I took a pre-portioned tortilla covered in foil as it was passed to me. There were plates and bowls of so

Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Image
I have tried this recipe a few times, changing the ingredients slightly each time and this is what I finally came up with. Ingredients Large Sweet Potato (mine was approx. 1.5lbs) Avocado oil Salt Pepper Paprika Garlic Powder Directions Preheat the oven to 425F Skin and cut the potatoes in the shape you want your fries and add to a large bowl.  Add avocado oil. Toss to coat fries evenly. In a separate, small bowl, combine all seasonings (this creates more dishes but less tossing). Add seasonings to fries and toss until fully coated. Line a shallow baking sheet with parchment paper, spread out fries evenly in a shallow layer and place on a higher rack in the oven. Bake for approximately 19-25 minutes, tossing around every so often.
