Mountains, fields, forests, or beaches, there are a lot of diverse environments that can make for nice hikes. Always hike safely, and leave no trace.
#31 – eat frozen veggies
The beauty of frozen veggies is they are very nutritious, but you don’t have to worry about them going bad before you can cook them. Corn, peas, green beans, peppers, onions, sugar snap peas, carrots, squash, edamame, spinach, there are endless options available for consumption. Eat up!
