Most people outside of Louisiana (and even a few from the area) are unfamiliar with this dish. After all you don’t see Macque Choux (pronouced Mock Shoo) on too many menus. It’s actually a phrase the Cajuns in South Louisiana use to describe a creamed corn dish, introduced by Native Americans in the […]

I am taking a break from wedding-diet blogging this week to share a new recipe. My fiancee and I are were tired of eating the same ol’ stuff, so we whipped up a pasta salad from scratch. If you like Mediterranean food, it’s the recipe for you! The best thing about this […]

We generally don’t keep snack foods like potato chips or pretzels around the house, but recently I came across these healthy-sounding Flat Earth Crisps. I picked some of the Tangy Tomato Ranch flavor up.
The crisps are made with rice flour and potato flakes, which sounds odd but was actually pretty tasty. The flavor comes from the […]

Imagine a world where people were always pleasant and kind. Everyone helped one another, no one judged each other, and every relationship you have enhances your life. Unfortunately, the reality is not what John Lennon sang about in his song ‘Imagine’. In fact, the truth is, almost everyone has to deal with a toxic person […]

We’ve heard it all our lives, starting with our mothers: “Eat your fruit and vegetables!” And as we grew up we saw constant reports from different research groups and the government, exhorting us with the same refrain.

General Mills has developed a new snack bar - The Fiber One bar. The flavor I sampled was the Oats and Chocolate. There is also an Oats and Peanut Butter variety.

Something both excites and intrigues me about the concept of “raw” food. My knowledge of this culinary field has been limited to salads and hand held fruit, so it was difficult for me to even imagine how one would eat and “cook” for a raw food diet.
I have seen many raw food promotions based […]

There are literally hundreds of diets and eating plans swirling around … Gluten-Free, South Beach, Carbohydrates Addict, Vegan, Vegetarian … it’s enough to make your head spin. But Lutein-Rich? It’s something I’ve actually never heard of, until I spied a little piece on it in a recent issue of Woman’s Day magazine.
Want to […]

I first encountered yogurt cheese at a Middle Eastern grocery store and café in Burlington VT, where you can munch on pitas with baba ghanoush, falafel, and kibbeh while browsing the back wall for imported treats. Drizzled with a pungent olive oil, I ripped my pita and dug into the creamy smooth mound of […]

Jambalaya is probably one of my all time favorite foods. It tastes good outside on the porch on a warm sunny day or indoors on a cold chilly night. There is just no bad time to have jambalaya. I recently shared a pork and chicken jambalaya recipe on Fit Fare and wanted […]
