Expanding horizons with Blue Apron

This post is sponsored by Blue Apron. Iโ€™m fortunate that I havenโ€™t had many aversions lately when it comes to food.

Hi friends ๐Ÿ™‚ Hope your day is going well! How about a green juice? Itโ€™s been a while since Iโ€™ve done a virtual wine date post, and since Iโ€™m definitely missing my favorite red (ok, and since it’s 7am haha), I thought a morning green juice would suffice. ๐Ÿ˜‰ So, please pull up a chair,…
