Gortons Shrimp Bowl Meal Review – With Black Garlic and Wine Risotto
I personally think that the sudden glut of frozen heat and eat meals at the grocery is due to the success of the “meal kit” business. Those deals where they send you portion cut ingredients and a recipe and it’s supposed to be so easy to create a gourmet meal with no fuss. ( I […]
