healthy zucchini pizza boats; paleo, 21 Day Fix, clean eating!
Its pizza night in our house tonight. Normally I would enjoy a couple huge pieces of empty-carb-laden, blood-sugar spiking, then dipping, emotion-high and stomach-ache inducing pizza.
Ahh, a classic American treat!
But not tonight. Tonight I am committing to my body.

Black Box Wine Review
I've been hearing great things about Black Box Wines... or maybe I have just been seeing them everywhere. I wanted to know 'is this stuff any good?' and when i mean 'good' I mean better than 2 Buck-Chuck, because that is my point of reference on wine these days ;)
Our local Safeway had these on sale for 30% off and I was able to get $1 back through an Ibotta rebate making my box $16.50. A Black Box is equal to 4 full bottles of wine so my cost per bottle is now just $4.13. That is a price I can justify!
Black Box proudly announces their wine to be award-winning of 40 Gold Medals through Wine Enthusiast and having been awarded 27 Best Buy marks as well! Sounds impressive!
"Rich aromas of dark fruit complemented by a deep, lush body the finish is soft and long with lingering notes of berry". Well said Black Box, well said.
I purchased the Cabernet Sauvignon because I prefer a deep red wine in the winter and wanted to fully use my ibotta rebate- which was only on a selected few.
I thoroughly enjoyed this wine. I felt it had very nice flavor, was a spot-on Cabernet and the finish was warm and soothing. Not at all cheap or bitter, just pleasant. I would rate this wine as a good $10-12 bottle. Certainly a fantastic value, I will certainly be purchasing this brand again, excited to try the other flavors they offer! Malbec and Shiraz are next on my list! With a selection of 11 types of wines offered- I bet your favorite is on there too!
Black Box claims the box will stay fresh for 4 weeks. Challenge accepted! Who am I kidding, this will probably only last 2 weeks at my house ;) This would be perfect for a party too, or fancy dinner events- simply disperse into a glass decanter and you instantly have designer wine on a budget price!
This review was not at all sponsored by Black Box Wines, I simply purchased this out of my own free will for the sake of pure education. This review was the opinion of both my husband and I combined.
Cheers!
