As the fall draws near, I am so excited about trying new recipes. Some of my favorite recipes have a tomato-base to them, whether it’s beans, salsa, pasta sauce, or soup. I was so excited to try out garbanzo beans and Italian crushed (and peeled) tomatoes by Carmelina Brands. Plus, I also had the chance to try out their garbanzo beans! 

Now, one of the biggest reasons I recommend this brand is that they are Non-GMO verified. This is incredibly important to me when choosing products, especially anything that I eat. If you aren’t sure what Non-GMO means, check out the information about what the Non-GMO Project does here.  

Not to mention what I also love is on their website they go into incredible detail about their tomato process and their bean process. They are obviously such a trust-worthy company and that means so much to me as a consumer.

So, now onto those tomatoes! I loved their Italian crushed and peeled tomatoes. They went so well in the black beans I made and added so much flavor. As for their garbanzo beans, they were such an amazing treat! I basically can rinse them and toss them into a salad or I grill them with seasoning on top of the stove. They save great and work so well with so many dishes.

I started this blog in 2012 when I got let go of my first job out of college. Since then, I've continued talking about my job search experience, office politics, unemployment stories written by others, movies I've enjoyed, products I've loved, and more. This blog is about work, life, and everything else in between.
