This is a sponsored post with Tasteful Selections. All opinions are mine. We've been on our annual Canoe Journey this past weekend. Our family canoe is paddling with dozens of others to Seattle. The Muckleshoot Tribe is hosting this summer. I'll be honest and say, I haven't been to the grocery store much and my fresh fruit and vegetable drawers in my fridge are kind of bare this week.
