I LOVE PEACH DISH!!!!!

I know I can't say that much louder but I do think they are wonderful. I was pushed a little bit out of my comfort zone with the recipe, It was Mediterranean chicken, Parmesan Asparagus, and Fresh Plums for desert. I thought the meal tasted great, but I will say the portions are single serve portions and I don't usually make single size anything. If your watching your weight or have trouble with portion control this dinner is perfect. I was worried they might send me something I did not like. I guess that is the unknown you have to accept. Everything arrived packaged beautifully and the chicken was in a separate bag with ice packs so it stayed nice and cold. The meal was quick and easy the only problem I had was there was a large onion and a good bit of fresh herbs and I was unsure of how much to put in the whole onion looked like to much so I used my judgment the same with the herbs. My husband liked it, but he did wished there was more chicken and not so much tomato. The bread was amazing it soaked the sauce up beautifully. The whole meal was so good my one year old ate a lot and liked it. This is not really something I can see myself doing weekly because I am a stay at home mom and have the time to prepare a meal, but if you work outside the house this is so easy to come home and throw this healthy and delicious meal together. This meal would be great if you have a child who likes to cook. They can prepare a meal for the family with everything they need right there, and an easy to follow recipe card. This box would also make a great care package for college kids, at lease you know they are eating healthy once a week. I am hoping to catch up with peachdish founder Hadi Irvani to ask a few questions about the company. Some of the things I do know about them are there customer service is great I e-mailed them and was contacted back very quickly. Then when I signed up I was sent am e-mail thanking me for signing up by Hadi(nice touch). The box is $20.00 weekly for a three course meal for 2 or $40.00 for a meal for 4. You can talk to them about customizing it to your needs, maybe you want it 2 or 3 times a month or just once they will work it out. They use amazon payments so it easy to sign up or cancel if you need to. They sent me an e-mail when my box shipped with a tracking number and the package got here with everything I needed right down to the butter. I really loved this box...in case you could not tell...lol. I would highly recommend this box. I will have more on peachdish. If you want you can check them out here. http://www.peachdish.com/ . Disclosure - I received this box from Peachdish free of charge for review. I was in no other way compensated for my review. The views expressed in this review are my own honest opinions.

My Conscious Box...

Well today I received my Conscious box today. They are a company that is a Healthy, Natural Alternatives for Every Product in Your Life they pick out green Eco-friendly products, and they send products that are sustainable and natural which is great. Their boxes are $19.95 and that includes shipping. This box was sent for me to review so there was no charge for it. I want to make you aware of that, but it will in no way hinder my ability to give an honest review. Upon opening my box I saw a beautiful postcard apparently all their boxes come with one I really liked it. Then I saw there was a lot of things for my little one maybe to much this is not a kid box... My child will be enjoying some Snackimals cereal, Sneakz chocolate milk shake, 2 packs of omega-3 jellies and 2 toddler bars. I got some chicken poop lip balm and if you can get over the name it works well. I got 4 different drink mixes, a floor cleaner sample and a relax-all sample. I don't know if I would sign up for this box. If I had paid $19.95 I would not have felt I got my moneys worth. So having said that some of their boxes look better than others. For me I would pass on this one. I just did not see the value. Thank you Tabitha

Love Graze!!!!!!

More yummy deliciousness arrived in my mail box today from Graze. It was a few days later than the last box but arrived before the next box was billed.In this box I received fruit and seed flapjack,pina colada,Eleanor's apple crumble, and tomato and basil pizza. One of the things I have heard about these boxes are that they are small portions, as someone who will sit down and eat an entire bag of chips I can tell you I love the fact they actually put one portion per pack. The boxes are 5.00 each and you can decide to get one box a month or four. They make it very easy once you sign up you can browse there web site and see all the snacks they have,and you can rate them. If there is something you don't want or does not look appealing to you, or if you get something you think did not taste good click the trash tab and they will not send it. On the same note if there is something that looks or tastes amazing when you get it sign in and click the love tab and they will send it more frequently. I love that you don't have too feel required to get something. If you want to change it you can just sign into your account and add or subtract boxes and if you need to cancel you just put the account on hold so if you want to sign back up you start right where you left off. I will tell you the one thing I don't like about Graze is the fact you can't just order more than one portion. I loved the pina colada with its real dried pineapple and would love to order a bunch , but having just said that out load I am reminded that if I got a whole bag of chips I would probably eat a whole bag...lol. Anyway I can't really say enough good things about Graze they are one of my favorites and I will be looking forward to their deliciousness in my mailbox for a long time to come. I hope you give them a shot and you love them as much as I do. Thanks Tabitha

Box reviews comming soon!!!!

I am very excited to announce that I will be getting some subscription boxes from some AMAZING companies who have been gracious enough to allow me to review their boxes and give my honest opinion. I am excited to do this because as most know these boxes can run anywhere from 5 dollars to 100 dollars and up. I am cheap I will be the first one to admit it, but I will pay for something if I get a great deal combined with great customer service, no hassle when I need to pause service, and most of all consistency because time and time again a box looks stunning one month and you order it only to be disappointed because the next box looks sad for one reason or another. The boxes I am going to review are things we could all use everyday from diapers to dog toys and healthy snacks to healthy meals sent to my door with everything I will need to cook a 3 course meal. If you have any questions or any boxes you would like me to try to review please drop me a line and I will do my best to get it done quickly. Thank you Tabitha

Where are you getting your money????

I know this is my first post and really first blog, but let me ask you this where are people getting all this money....There is a new obsession yes I said obsession in women's lives, I know what your thinking . Women have loved shoes for years , but it is not shoes I am talking about. There is an wave of box subcribtion services everything from food to baby cloths to adult themed boxes. I am really all for this no thinking just order and sure I would love to order one maybe two, but when you begin to order 4 food boxes for your kids, 2 different food boxes for yourself, 3 different Make-up boxes, who knows what else. I simply ask you where do you get your money because I would like some of it. The purpose of my blog is to sort the amazing boxes from the crap because there is nothing worse than seeing a box that looks great on-line then ordering it, and having the anticipation of wondering what is in the box only to get the box and feel ripped off, I am speaking from experience here. So if I help just one person not feel riped off then I have done my job. I hope you like what I do and I would love to hear your feedback boxes you want to know about just ask. It may take me a bit to get a review but it will be fare and unbiased. Thank you, Tabitha Follow my blog with Bloglovin
