Three Amazon Purchases You Won’t Regret, Ugly Drinks & 30 Days No Online Shopping

Leave a Comment

You may remember back a few months ago when I said I was taking the month off from online shopping. Well spoiler I failed miserably. Like so bad. So tonight after I ordered by case of Ugly seltzer because I apparently just couldn’t help myself (who knows maybe you can’t help yourself either and if that’s the case here is $10 of your first order) I decided that I need to take a break for real this time. Thirty whole days with absolutely no online shopping. Nada. 

Also I thought this might be the perfect time to share with you five things you probably don’t need but that I love and use regularly. Because why not fuel your shopping addiction while I try and reduce mine?

Healthy Human Insulated Tumbler.

I bought this after having Ingrid because when you’re a nursing mama you basically constantly feel thirsty and the bigger the tumbler the better because it means not having to move or wake a sleeping baby. Bonus this thing keeps my water cold for HOURS like so many hours and despite it being 32oz it is small enough on the bottom to fit in a cup holder of my car. Basically this is the magical unicorn of tumblers.

 

Soom Sesame Tahini and Chocolate Sweet Tahini Halva Spread.

Soom Foods Pure Ground Sesame Tahini Paste Two Flavor Sampler: (1) Sesame Tahini 11oz and (1) Chocolate Sesame Tahini 12oz

Basically there was this other tahini brand that I used to subscribe and save on Amazon but then it stopped being on Prime so I had to find an alternative. After trying a bunch of different kinds the Instagram Influencers made me buy Soom and I have to say they were right this stuff is amazing. Also this is women owned business and these women are making an amazing product! 

BuckWHAT! Noshes 

These gluten free, non-GMO, vegan, refined sugar free little noshes are my current go to snack. I love the oatmeal raisin flavor and my runner up is the Simply Sunflower. They are little but are super filling and perfect for my active mom lifestyle, plus my kids are into them as well and with the simple ingredients I can’t help but share (even when I don’t want to.) You can find them on Amazon and if you use code: RWT20 you can for 20% off your BuckWHAT! order.

Tahini Roasted Veggies


This recipe came out of the need to use up a bunch of carrots from our CSA.  Neither my husband nor I are huge carrot fans and only enjoy them juiced or cut up and dipped in hummus.  That being said I decided to play off the flavors of hummus and made a delicious roasted veggie medley with a nutty tahini sauce.  This is a great dish to make for an upcoming holiday party!
Serves 4

  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 bunch parsley, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 2 cups carrots, chopped and peeled
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced

Preheat the oven to 425F. Place the tahini, lemon juice, green onions, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper and water in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the s blade and process on low for 30 seconds. Slowly pour in the olive oil through feed tube and process until smooth. Toss the tahini sauce with the chopped veggies and pour into a 9″ x 13″ Stainless Steel Bake & Roast Pan. Place in the preheated oven to roast for 30-35 minutes or until veggies are tender. Serve with your favorite protein, a green salad and a whole grain for a balanced meal.
