Review: August Meowbox

Every Wednesday evening I take some time to review a product, place or experience in hopes I'll inspire someone to try something new!

The August Meowbox.

Aloha! With every meowbox you buy, they give a can of food to a shelter cat!

Price: $29.95 + taxes.

I’ve chosen to receive it every other month to avoid having too many toys in the house!

Contents:

• Katmint: Kavai Blend Catnip
• Tropical flower toys equipped with feathers
• Pineapple and coconut toys
• Catnip ice cream cone
• Kettle Craft: Savory Canadian Turkey 

At times the meowbox can be a dud in my experience, there have been months where Princess is very uninterested in what comes in, but I don’t hold it against them because something that my cat may be uninterested in may be the best thing ever to another cat! So not every delivery will be a 100% winner.

August’s theme was embracing the tropics! And this really stole my girl’s heart before I could even open the box she was trying to get into it. Her faves this month seem to be the ice cream cone catnip toy and the flower feather thingies… which I suspect will be destroyed within a matter of hours…

She wasn’t too much of a fan of the treats sadly but she is a picky eater as it is so I’m not surprised. I’m sure my boyfriend’s cat will enjoy them!

Aloha!

3 Bean Salad

Costco has many delicious foods in their giant warehouses but one thing that I just can’t get enough of is their 3 bean salad! Introduced to us by my aunt, it is now a staple in our meals. The challenge however… Is that we are way too cheap and don’t go through nearly enough food to make our own Costco membership worth it.. Which leaves us at the mercy of my aunt’s shopping schedule.

Below is my way around it, my grandmother gave me a huge collection of fresh beans to create something with, and I couldn’t think of a better use than making a nice big batch of 3 bean salad!

Be sure to Sanitize your Jars before putting the beans in to ensure they will last.
