PINCHme Sample Box March 2020

Glad ForceFlex Plus Tall Kitchen Trash Bag - this bag fits 13 gallon can, it is stretchable and it got a continuous Febreeze freshness with SteadyRelease technology, 'Beachside Breeze' scent. I liked this bag overall, the scent is nice, however it didn't block the fish smell (not sure, if it’s supposed to completely block any unpleasant smell🤔)

Haribo Gold-Bears Gummy Candy - I got this little bag of candies added to my box after signing up for a partner's offer😊

Heinz Mayochup Saucy Sauce - if you love mixing mayonnaise and ketchup, then you will sure love this sauce! It tastes great and saves time👍This was another bonus item I got after signing up for a partner's offer😊

Compeed Advanced Blister Care Active Gel Cushions - these cushions are made specialy for blisters, they won't only cover it, but also with help with healing. The material feels pleasant, the shape is perfect and the color is light brown and almost invisible on the skin😉😊

Beech-Nut Naturals Baked Veggie Crisps 'Sweet Potato' - the texture of the crisps was light and crunchy, the flavor was savory; overall it's a good satisying snack for kids, and ther is only 6 ingredients!

Beach-Nut Naturals Pouches 'Banana-Blueberries-Avocado' - I like that the pouch is half clear, so you can see whats inside and how much is left. The ingredients are super simple - banana, blueberries, avocado and lemon juice concentrate, and that's how a baby food is supposed to be. The flavor was good, but a little too sweet to my taste😊

Rael Organic Cotton Tampons with Compact Applicators (Regular, Super & Super Plus) - I like that these tampons and other Rael pads and liners are made with organic cotton and no toxic chemicals, and the applicators are plant-based. But for some reason I couldn't use the applicators at all and had to remove them from all 3 sample tampons. The regular size of tampon was too small, and the super and super plus weren't big at all🤔

And these are all the products from my first PINCHme Box!

Thank you for reading!❤❤❤

Homemade Red Potato Salad With Dill And Sour Cream Recipe

Here is my version of delicious and easy Red Skin Potato Salad😊

What you will need:

• 5 medium size red potatoes
• ½ of orange bell pepper
• 3 stalks of green onion
• Sour cream, mayonnaise
• Salt, dill, garlic powder, onion powder

How to make it:

Boil potatoes (slightly covered with lid) until they are soft, and you can easy poke through them with a knife or fork (about 25 mins).

Drain water and leave potatoes in the pot to cool down.

Meanwhile, prepare vegetables. First I took ¼ of pepper and 2 stalks of green onion.

Then peel and cut cooled potatoes.

Cut pepper and onion into small pieces.

Now it’s time to make the sauce.

Mix 6 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 5 tablespoons of sour cream.

Then add salt, garlic powder and onion powder. I don’t know how much exactly, because I add little bit, then taste, then add little more. Let’s say approximately I added 3 teaspoons of salt, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder and 3 teaspoons of onion powder.

Add a generous amount of dill for the extra flavor. 

Mix all well. 

After mixing all together and quick tasting, I decided to add some more of pepper and green onion. So the total turned out: a half of pepper and 3 stalks of green onion.

Mix all very good, add more seasonings if needed.

Serve with a meal of your choice😉The recipe of this homemade mac’n’cheese is here.

Another option is to make it with green onion and celery (instead of bell pepper), that's also very delicious👍Make it the same way, just add 1 stick (rib) of celery, finely chopped.

Serve and enjoy😊
