9 Cooking Shows On Amazon Prime To Watch Right Now

Food should be fun, and cooking shows can be many things to us. There are food competitions where nothing is ever too stressful, even though the music seems intense. There are travel shows that whisk us away and let us experience new places and foods from the comfort of our couch. There are instructional videos that have us leaving having learned something.

While many watch cooking shows on Netflix and Youtube, several cooking shows on Amazon Prime are worth watching. It’s not their strongest category, but there are some hidden gems. Most of the shows are British or Australian and about six years old, and many I had never heard of before.

Their search isn’t as robust as it could be, so I sorted through the cooking shows so you don’t have to.

No seasoning packet needed — just plain noodles. I have been using them as a rice substitute in stir-fries ever since. These bricks of noodles cook in minutes and take sauce well.

Avocado Oil For Cooking – Everything You Need To Know

by Kristen Leave a Comment

As I was making a salad dressing the other day, I reached for avocado oil for cooking instead of my usual olive oil, a change I had been making more and more recently. It wasn’t just because I had purchased a large bottle from Costco, either. We are enjoying the buttery flavor, and the health benefits are top-notch. But then I came across an article that stated, “the vast majority of avocado oil sold in the U.S. is of poor quality, mislabeled or adulterated with other oils.” Eating healthy can be challenging! Information can change dramatically at the drop of a dime, so it’s hard to know what to do.

Determined not to give up on avocado oil for cooking, I set out to find out how to pick the best version. What to look for in a bottle and how to tell if it’s real.

An Honest Imperfect Foods Review For 2021- Is It Worth It?

by Kristen 2 Comments

Farm food waste is a real problem in the U.S. Nearly 30-40 percent of the food supply is sent to landfills, according to the USDA. That includes wholesome food that you could place on the dinner table but instead rots in landfills. Some of the food is not fit for consumption, but often the taste is not compromised; they just have some blemishes.

Imperfect Food created a way to get food from farms typically thrown away into customers’ hands. The company prides itself on helping to eliminate food waste in an environmentally conscious way.

After learning more about food recovery services, I was intrigued. The notion of having food, mainly fruits and vegetables, delivered to me weekly was appealing, and doing my part to reduce food waste had me further sold.

But just how does Imperfect Foods work? Is it worth it? And how does Imperfect Foods compare to Misfit Market? I did the research and tried it for several weeks to get the answers.

Are you looking for an honest Imperfect Foods Review? Well, we’ve got one.
