Spiced Bread Mix

Only 1 out of 4 of us liked this.  Directions say to make and then eat the day after.  Very moist, kinda chewy.  Going 'nope' for our family.

Dried Goldenberries

Authentic Peruvian Aguaymanto Dried Goldenberries, organic. If raisins tasted like dried apricots and were double sour.  I like them (in SMALL amounts, a few at a time).  Thumbs down from the kids.  Now I'd like to try completely hydrated goldenberries!

Udon Noodle

Miso Udon Noodle Soup with Purple Daikon, Bok Choy and Soft Boiled Egg
Another thumbs up from our family for this Blue Apron meal.  We'll use the recipe for the broth as a base for many Udon dinners to come, it was nice and rich!  And a plus, I had previously never used a dried lime (just what it sounds like).  It was used to flavor the broth.

nibs and blueberries

Pure Nacional cacao nibs and blueberries. Just like they sound... organic unsweetened cacao nibs and dried blueberries www.nacionalcacao.com
No in between.  You'd either LOVE these (like my son and I) or loathe them (like my daughter).

Feqqas Anis


Homemade Anise cookies (more like little chunks of cookie) from Morocco. VERY STRONG. It's a really small jar (2.5 oz) but you really only want a little bit at a time.  Great little crunch with my morning coffee.
