Gluten Free Avocado Banana Bread

This one is GOOD. We had bananas AND avocados that needed to be used ASAP so I decided to make a variation of our banana bread. It took me a few tries to get the ingredients right and about a year to post this recipe. ;-) I love to eat a slice with my breakfast or before my workout.

How to Order a Cake from Costco

Updated: 12/27/17

I know this sounds weird coming from us but we get all of our cakes at Costco. Yes, we occasionally eat cake! ;-) They are SO GOOD plus you can't beat the price of $18.99 for a cake that feeds 48! However, I had a hard time getting the information I needed to order the cake without having to drive to the store. I decided to post the information here so that if any of you are looking for this you have it. See the form below, all you have to do is fill it out, call your local store and get their fax number to send in the form.

You are a Costco lover too?! Check out our additional Costco related content:

I've also included a picture of the designs available at our local (Buford, GA) Costco.

Below are the seasonal designs available at our particular location. I will update these as the season changes.

Yes, below was the display our Costco had after Valentine's Day. I guess they are getting ready for Memorial Day early! I did notice they had some new designs up top so I wanted to share.

Easy Food Prep - Fresh Meals Delivered from Terra's Kitchen

With our lives as crazy as they have been lately, we were pumped about the opportunity to try out Terra's Kitchen. Terra's Kitchen is a meal delivery service where dinner (or lunch!) is delivered right to your doorstep, all you have to do is following the instructions and cook it!

We went online, easily created an account, and ordered multiple delicious dishes! We opted for One Skillet Bison Tacos, Grilled Chicken with Radish Apple Salad, Grilled Chicken Tacos with Avocado Goat Cheese, Spring Arugula Salad with Chicken, plus a Chopped Power Green Salad. All of the meals/ingredients were delivered when requested. They came packed in a climate-controlled vessel (picture below) that is reusable. Once we removed our ingredients we sat the vessel back out for pick-up. We love that they reduce waste as much as possible with this packing and shipping design.

Below is a picture of how the items are packaged. The entire order comes with a color instruction sheet that lists equipment needed, what you need (from your own supplies), what they send, and how to make it! They also include very helpful wine and beer pairings.

One of our favorite things was the fact that the instruction sheets also included the serving size, how long it takes to prepare, the calories, any allergens, and other nutrition facts. Each container is marked with a number that corresponds with which recipe it goes with, this definitely helps cuts down on confusion when getting the ingredients together for each recipe.

We decided to make the One Skillet Bison Tacos the day we received our order because we were really short on time and it literally only took one skillet (equals less clean up time!). The tacos were mouth-watering! Scott kept asking for more so I graciously let him have one of mine. ;-)

The next meal we made was Grilled Chicken Tacos with Avocado Goat Cheese Sauce. Can you tell we like tacos?! These were amazing and very easy to make too! We definitely recommend heating the tortillas as they state, it really makes a difference in the taste. You can heat them by placing them directly over a gas burner or under a broiler. Just don't let them burn!

There are SO many recipes to choose from and it's very easy to get started. As I mentioned, all you have to do is go to their website (click here), set up an account and you can start browsing recipes, pick out your meals, and then have the fresh meals delivered!

We hope you love the service as much as we do! You can even use code HEANDSHE30 for $30 off your order (for first-time customers).

Let us know what you meals you try!
