Last week at Whole Foods, I spotted these Fantastic foods mixes on sale. I love a good falafel and I figured it couldn’t hurt to try this mix. Along with some tabouli and baba ganoush (also on sale for buy one, get one free) it was a cheap store-bought fix for my Mediterranean craving. All [...]

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! It is hard to believe I am only a year away from 30, I still feel like a teenager sometimes! The first half of my day was pretty boring in terms of food, so I will spare you the details (basically a repeat of yesterday). Dinner was definitely worth [...]

It is finally starting to warm up here in Miami again. Good thing too, since I don’t think the plants in my backyard can take any more freezing temperatures. This is supposed to be the tropics! Since it had been cold, I haven’t been in the mood for fresh salads, but that all changed today. [...]

There are also lots of animals that [...]

Last week I had the opportunity to sample some organic products from Wildwood. I had previously reviewed their soy yogurt, and jumped at the chance to review some more products when I was offered by the marketing department. I was sent a disposable cooler full of Wildwood’s sprouted tofu, hummus, and veggie burgers. The first thing [...]

Happy Tuesday everyone! I started the day with this lovely bowl of banana oats. The trio of toppings: a crumbled Hermit (more on these later), sunflower seed butter, and ground flax seeds. Yum, I loved this combo today. For lunch, I had a crazy salad which was made possible by my wonderful CSA box. This [...]
