Manberry Jam

I also made Manberry Jam today, aka mango-strawberry jam.  It was delicious!  And surprisingly, it was not as hard to make jam as I have always thought it was.  It made a ton of jam, so if you want one, just let me know!

For my first ever attempt at making and canning homemade jam, I would call it a success!

This is What $15 Can Get You...

I picked up my first ever Bountiful Baskets order earlier this morning.  I definitely think it was a $15 well spent.

So for my $15, I received:
4 oranges
8 small cucumbers
5 onions
3 heads of broccoli
1 celery
1 carton of strawberries
2 bags of radishes
3 mangos
8 apples
7 bananas
1 bag of regular carrots
1 cantaloupe
1 head of cauliflower

I am pretty sure that you cannot beat that at the grocery store.  Plus, I know exactly what I am getting and where it is coming from.  And it encourages me to eat even healthier than I already do.

An Epic Fail

Never try to dehydrate cantaloupe.  It does not work... and it does not taste good at all.  I love cantaloupe and I had picked one for volunteering.  I had recently purchased a circular dehydrator, so I decided to give it a try.  Never will I do that again!  The flavor changes and the texture is weird for a cantaloupe.  Overall, epic fail and do not try again.
