August NatureBox Review + Recipe

August NatureBox Review + Recipe

I was so excited to get home from vacation and find my NatureBox waiting for me.  I love getting things in the mail and I love snacks, so NatureBox is a win/win for me. How do you eat your NatureBox?  One entire item at a time or do you open everything and try it first? Note that every.single.bag below has been opened. Once again, I was not disappointed.  In fact, one of the items just screamed "Create a Recipe!" at me.  Which one do you think that was? Mexican Mango - I love dried mango.  One of the things I loved best about this was how very thin it was.  So yummy. Maui Onion Crunch - Almond slivers with a slight onion flavor.  Oh.my.  I love almonds and these had fantastic flavor.  There were a lot of spices and crumbs … [Read more...]

Photo Friday and the Naturebox Winner

Today we leave to go back to Virginia. While I'm looking forward to seeing Beer Geek and being back in my own bed, leaving Wisconsin is always bittersweet. I am super lucky to have a wonderful relationship with my parents. (How many people can live at home for 2.5 weeks every summer and still be speaking with their parents at the end?) I would love to live closer to them, but unfortunately, circumstances don't allow them to move closer to us and there's no way my southern boy of a husband is going to move to the land of cold. At least I've already bought tickets for all of us to come home at Christmas! I'll spend most of today traveling and tomorrow is my birthday (42! How did I get that old?) and I plan to spend it running, hanging out … [Read more...]

I'm a snacker.  Seriously, I eat at least 6 times a day and most of those times are snacks.  (I try to include veggies and protein in each mini-meal and spread my calories evenly throughout the day.) So, is anyone really at all surprised that I'm in love with NatureBox?  New snacks to try every month that don't include high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, artificial colors, trans fats, or partially hydrogenated oils.  I try to avoid all those things for me, but I'm super uptight about it when it comes to my kids.  I figure there will be plenty of times when they will be given those kinds of things by others, so *I* shouldn't be the one handing those to them. But you know what?  All those things wouldn't matter if the food … [Read more...]

NatureBox Review

Back in March (yeah, I know I'm slow) I was contacted by Nature Box and offered the opportunity to try one of their monthly deliveries. I'm never one to turn down free food, especially healthy snacks, so of course I said yes! So, what exactly is NatureBox? I received the March delivery. On the whole, the foods were yummy.  None of us like fig bars, so these didn't float our boat, but Shoo and I nearly fought it out over the Firecrackers.  The cherries made for a few days of the most awesome oatmeal ever. All in all, it was pretty awesome (and the April box looks even better). The question of the day, of course, is "would I buy a box?" Yes. The quality was excellent. The snacks were good. The price (if … [Read more...]

Kicking Off 2021 with a Big Ole Cup of Coffee

Kicking Off 2021 with a Big Ole Cup of Coffee

I’m not one to stay up super late on NYE, but ironically, last night I was up late thanks to insomnia. Thank you 2020 for one last kick in the teeth. So, I’m up a bit later than normal and sucking down caffeine like it’s my job. Seems appropriate to hook up with Deb and […]
