Happy February! I’m in love with all the product finds this month. You should share them with your family and friends or treat yourself. Enjoy!

Neillys Sweet Ripe Plantains

Neilly’s Foods Sweet Ripe Plantains

These delectable plantains are my new go-to for a quick side dish. They contain one lovely ingredient. Find them in the freezer section of the grocery store. Cook them sweet babies in an air fryer for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Flip the fruit over at half the time. Continue frying. Voila!

Lesser Evil popcorn

Lesser Evil Organic Popcorn “No Cheese” Cheesiness

Size: 5 oz. | 0.88 oz.
