Those of you who know Kenzie, our Border Collie/Dingo mix, know that she is a bit hyperactive. She can run all day, and she needs constant attention! And when there are distractions like in puppy class, she just goes nuts. We compare her to a two-year-old with ADHD!!  We didn't want to do anything too drastic, and risk changing her sweet, inquisitive personality, So when I saw an ad for an all-natural calming bite, I thought we should take advantage of the one-month introductory price. Kenzie liked the bites well enough - but then, she likes everything!! But even after a month, we didn't see a real difference in her behavior. She was still easily excited, barking too much, and distracted by anything that moved.  We ordered her food through Chewy.com  and, to be honest, we needed to add something else to the order in order to get free shipping. We like the ZestyPaws  supplements that we have tried, especially the salmon oil and salmon bites, so we thought we'd...

HelloFresh really is!

Thanks to an invitation through Tomoson review site, we had the chance to try HelloFresh meal service. ( https://www.hellofresh.com )  We have been looking for a meal delivery system to break us out of our menu boredom, and to teach me a few cooking skills. Watching the FoodChannel makes me want to master culinary arts and put together fine cuisine!! I have to say up front that HelloFresh did not disappoint. We enjoyed two very good meals and are ready to try more, once vacation time is over. Using the same template as my previous review, we will look at specific aspects of the plan. Meal Plans - HelloFresh offers three types of plans, Veggie, Classic and Family.  The Veggie plan can be for 2 or 4 persons, and offers 3 meals per week.  The Classic plan is for 2 or 4 persons, and offers 2, 3 or 4 meals per week. Each of these plans cost $9.99 per serving. The Family plan serves 4 persons 2 or 3 recipes per week at a cost of $8.74 per serving. For us, the Classic Plan f...

We Tried Blue Apron

  An offer of $50 0ff our first two boxes and a general boredom with our weekly menus prompted us to try Blue Apron last month. We have tried Plated and one other service about a year ago, and we were generally pleased with the menus and service, so we thought that we’d try a few more.  This has prompted a series of blog posts on meal services, as we intend to try more and report on our experience. I’m going to break down each post into several sections, so that we can compare the plans side-by-side, so to speak!  Meal Plans - Blue Apron offers 2 and 3 meals per week for a couple, 2,3 or 4 meals per week for a family of four. Pricing is shown below. We opted for the plan that offered 2 recipes per week for two persons, and we subscribed for three weeks, with a skipped week in the middle. 2-Person Plan Serves 2 People Recipes Price per Serving Shipping Weekly Total 2 $10.99 per serving $7.99 shipping $51.95 per week 3 $10.99 per se...
