KIND Fruit And Nut Bars
Friday, June 13th, 2008Yesterday, I arrived at the grocery store feeling tired and burned out from running errands all day. My first instinct was to go to the store’s cafe and order some coffee to help me get through the task of grocery shopping. But, I changed my mind when I walked past a display of healthy snack […]
Yerba Mate
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008I’m about due to put in another tea order with Teavana. I picked up some Yerba Mate on my last order and really enjoyed it. I’m mainly accustomed to green tea varieties and the mate teas offer a pleasant change with a very distinct taste.
A relative of the holly bush, yerba maté is grown […]
Strawberry Season
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008It really doesn’t get much better than fresh strawberries. It makes me happy just to see them prominently displayed as I walk into the supermarket this time of year.
Strawberries are not only good – they are good for you. One serving of strawberries (about 8 strawberries) is an excellent source of vitamin C. You […]
Odwalla Juice
Friday, May 30th, 2008Odwalla is one of my favorite juice companies. I’ve been drinking their vitamin infused juice and smoothies for the last 15 years. The very first time I drank an Odwalla juice was on a hot and humid summer day on Long Island. My grandpa and I had been all over NYC earlier that day and […]
Healthy Hibiscus Tea
Friday, May 23rd, 2008I was first introduced to Hibiscus tea on the island of Maui and it will forever remind me of that hot, tropical sunny afternoon when I took my first sip. It tasted like cherry flavored liquid sunshine and made me feel all bright and happy inside for the rest of the day!
I was curious about […]
The Best Cooking Show You Haven’t Seen
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008I just love watching cooking shows. There is something both calming and stimulating about watching someone prepare food. I have a few favorites on Food Network that I record and try to watch regularly, but lately I’ve grown a bit tired of them so I decided to search for something new to add to my […]
How to Store Your Olive Oil
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008Before writing this article I wasn’t too worried about storing olive oil at my house because it simply doesn’t last very long. I knock back about 1 bottle a month as I use it in pretty much everything I prepare.
I don’t skimp when it comes to purchasing olive oil either. As a general rule […]

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008I picked up a copy of Julia Child’s “The Way to Cook” this weekend. I admit that it was an impulse purchase, but I am quite pleased I bought it because hopefully I will become a better cook.
