There are few things in life as good as a fresh sandwich wrap. Truly, how much better does it get than to find some lovely fresh flat bread, a few crunchie veggies and some thinly sliced deli meats all rolled together and garnished with the best whole grain mustard you can find?
During the summertime, my […]

Just in case I wasn’t sure if summer had yet arrived, our thermometer hit triple digits this past weekend to provide a solid confirmation. The warm (or should I say scorching) weather is here, meaning more time outside enjoying the sun. Since this is a food focused blog, I feel no need to […]

I’m all the way across the country from my home, my family, my kitchen, and my gym. I’ll be here all week. I’m at a conference, so most of my food is provided, and I’m working long hours, so I can’t even guarantee that I’ll get meals on a regular basis. But so far, I’ve […]

Before departing for my birthday celebration in glamorous Miami, my lifestyle—more specifically, my kitchen—is filled with good for you, get into shape, don’t-even-think-about-ice- cream type of regimens. Usually consisting of some serious sweaty yoga sessions, sunless tanning accidents- I say accident, because I always end up with brown streaks gracing my knees and other […]

To be honest, I had quite the pessimistic attitude when I first came upon these little pouches of fruit by Peeled Snacks. Packaged dried fruit, so what is new? It is just dried fruit, so simple, no wow factor … but to my complete surprise so [counter] revolutionary.

One would think that raw food, essentially food in its most simplistic form, would be so incredibly simple to make. Yet, for some reason the very idea of eating raw just sounds so darn complicated. Soaking nuts for hours and even days, purchasing pricey juicers, slowly dehydrating fruits and veggies … who has the […]

Several months ago I had the opportunity to sample a selection of snacks called Chunks of Energy™. Basically an energy bar broken down into an easily pop-able form, I was more than pleasantly surprised with their unique ingredients and taste. Needless to say, I was excited when a little gift package from Dancing […]

Some time ago I had my first sampling of goji berries from The Raw Bakery. Otherwise known as wolfberries, those little gems had a slight licorice bite combined with a nice dried raspberry-like backdrop. They weren’t overpowering by any means, but the flavor was intriguing. Though I definitely enjoyed this dried fruit variation, the price […]

They got the name right. Unlike dried fruit that is baked or heated to remove moisture, these freeze-dried fruit pieces are surprisingly light and crisp, more like a meringue than a piece of chewy dried fruit.
The newest fruit in the CrispyGreen line is Pear. The clean, subtle flavor of Crispy Pear is my favorite so […]
