Terra Original Taro Vegetable Chips, 6 oz - $2.49 via misfits market
If you're looking for a potato chip alternative taro chips could be fun to try. Tip: Chomp carefully as these tend to be a little harder than your average potato chip.

Last week we decided to try a new-to-us restaurant - Lemoona House. Currently opened 11am-9pm everyday except Tuesday, you can order take out or dine to enjoy "homestyle mediterranean" at Lemoona House. You can also have delivery via door dash ($30 off) or Uber Eats ($15 0ff). Hopefully grubhub will be an option sometime too. Thanks to our favorite credit card, we have free dash pass membership and an annual credit on door dash orders, yay! So we went the Door Dash route. Here's what we tried:
Greek Pizza - $9.75
Feta and mozzarella cheese, sumac marinated onions, gyro or chicken (we chose gyro), fresh tomato and tzaziki on the side.
The Greek Pizza was basically room temp by the time we got it (delivery woes), but was a promising thin crusted pizza.
Dolma - $3.99
Tender grapevine leaves stuffed with rice, onions, herbs, and Turkish spices. Rolled tightly and gently cooked with olive oil and lemon juice. (5 per order)
The dolmas were a good value and tasted good, but I actually prefer the herbs in these ones from a recent misfits or imperfect box, can't remember which at the moment.
Profitorole - $1.99
Cream puffs drenched in a dark chocolate sauce and sprinkled with sweet coconut flakes
These were exactly what I expected them to be and a really affordable price for a sharable, light dessert!
Baklawa - $1.50
Baklawa (aka baklava). Unfortunately these did not show up in our order, which was a bummer. And FYI, you only have 24 hours to report any issue with a door dash order, so don't procrastinate! :)
Lemoona Mix Platter - $15.99
Gyro meat, kibbeh, kofta kebab, chicken shawarma with rice, hummus, taziki sauce and Mediterranean salad, served with pita.
We opted for the Lemoona Mix Platter so we could try a variety from the restaurant at one time. The Gyro meat is excellent in flavor and may just be the way to go! I don't think there was any kibbeh on the platter, the chicken was a bit on the dry side and the mediterranean salad was very simple with a light dressing that was good, but nothing to write home about. Pita and taziki were good and the hummus was excellent.
Door Dash Discount - $30 CreditEarn up to 60,000 bonus points + Free Dash Pass Membership - Sapphire Card - Learn More HereRepeat Eat?
I'd repeat eat at Lemoona House. This delivery order was definitely not perfect, but I feel pretty confident that an in-person experience would be significantly better. As far as their to-go orders are concerned, I'd love to see a switch away from styrofoam containers...

Meal Idea: Dice Olli Truffle Salami and fry until crisp. Set aside. In the salami drippings, sautéed diced mushrooms. Add a can of cream of mushroom soup to make a quick sauce. Toss the cooked gnochetti with the mushroom sauce. Serve the gnochetti with shaved parmesan and crisp truffle salami!

Imperfect Foods Noir Daisy Cupcakes, $3.99 for 4 via imperfect foods
The Noir Daisy Cupcakes seem to be a real hit at Imperfect Foods. Each 4 pack contains 2 chocolate and 2 vanilla cupcakes each with a combination of chocolate and vanilla icing. They are sweet and very comparable to a cupcake you can pick up at any grocery story bakery in the US.

Imperfect Foods Toasted Sesame Ginger Salad Kit, $4.29 via Imperfect Foods
I usually mix up my own simple salads and dressings, but decided to give Imperfect Foods Salad Kits a try.
The Toasted Sesame Ginger Salad consists of chopped cabbage and kale, daikon radish, pepitas, cashews, and a bright ginger dressing. I loved the dressing! Overall this is a nice salad kit that makes a quick side. I would definitely add more veggies or protein to turn this into a meal salad, but the trouble is the dressing is just perfect (if not slightly short) for the amount in the bag, So if you add anything else, it won’t be appropriately dressed.
Ranking: 3/4 - it’s good

Izze drinks take me back to the days of working at Starbucks where I could use my employee discount on the RTD (ready to drink) case and every now and again I'd grab an Izze. If you want an alternative to pop/soda but don't want to go as far as flavored sparkling water, try Izze drinks. They are sparkling juice beverages made without added sugar, preservatives, or any other junk.

Having a good kitchen knife that is well cared for can make the difference between an enjoyable cooking experience and literally a dangerous one. Did you know that a dull knife can actually be more dangerous than a sharp one? You see, when a knife is dull you tend to push harder to force it through whatever you’re cutting and you are far more likely to lose control and cause injury that way. On the other hand, a quality and appropriately sharp knife will glide through efficiently and safely. Now you know!
A good knife can literally last a lifetime where as a cheap one will not perform well to begin with and will need replaced more often. Bearing that in mind.... here are some top knife choices available on Amazon. Knives We Own & Love:Victorinox Swiss Army Fibrox Pro 8” Chef’s Knife
What is a Chef’s knife used for?
A chef’s knife is a go-to tool for all sorts of food preparation from slicing and disjoint ingredients large cuts of meat to chopping and dicing veggies, fruits, and more!
Victorinox Swiss Army 12” Granton Slicing Knife
What is a slicing knife used for?
Slicing knives are thinner than carving knives making them more flexible and able to cut thinner slices of meat!
