Quorn Controversy
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008During a recent grocery shopping trip, I decided to pick up a box of frozen Quorn Chicken Patties.

Perfect Tea Maker from Teavana
Friday, April 11th, 2008I have been a tea drinker for several years now. I tend to stick with the green tea varieties and the occasional blend that I pick up at my local supermarket.

Oven-Baked “Fried” Chicken
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007Fried chicken is one of my favorite comfort foods. Unfortunately it isn’t one of the healthiest. However, it is still pretty easy to recapture that crunchy-goodness of fried chicken with a simple baked alternative.
