Liberte Mediterranee

August 26, 2010 Favorites

I picked up this brand of yogurt the other day while at Whole Foods (my home away from home). I hadn’t tried it and it was on sale so I went for it. I’m usually reluctant to try new yogurts without a recommendation because you just never know what to expect…and I’m really picky. But [...]

Just a HINT

June 22, 2010 Favorites

Have you tried this yet? HINT flavored water is a refreshing, zero calorie drink made with water and just a hint of natural fruit flavoring. I’m sipping on blackberry HINT today and loving it! HINT has no sugar so you don’t have to worry about factoring empty drink calories into your daily regime. Also, there [...]

Mocha Frap= My new fave drink

June 3, 2010 Favorites

I have a confession to make. Starbucks’ mocha frappuccino light is my new favorite drink. I’m obsessed. I have one nearly every day. Geez…that sounds really bad. But I can’t stop! The heat of the scorching summer sun brings cool sweet treats to mind. And my boring office job requires caffeine for concentration (and not [...]

So Delicious Coconut Milk Yogurt

May 18, 2010 Favorites

I am a huge fan of So Delicious Coconut Milk Products. So, recently I gave this a try. I sampled the strawberry with grapenuts on top for crunch. I’m not sure how I feel about it though. The taste was a bit off from the traditional tang (that I very much enjoy) of traditional yogurt. [...]

Home made root beer and other southern comforts

May 14, 2010 Favorites

Last weekend I attended my best friend’s wedding in Knoxville, TN. It was a very special occasion for me because it took me back to my home state, giving me a chance to revisit family and old friends. One of the highlights was the rehearsal dinner at the Museum of Appalachia which proudly displays the [...]

Truwhip

May 10, 2010 Favorites

Have you tried this yet? I picked it up a few weeks ago in celebration of my boyfriend’s 31st birthday. Going for fruit over chocolate (healthy over decadent), we nibbled on strawberry shortcake whilst sipping champagne. And, what better to top if off with than all-natural whipped topping? I love cool whip and whipped cream [...]

Voluptuous Delights

April 29, 2010 Favorites

I’d like to introduce you to my new friend. I ordered this cook book a few weeks ago and have been enjoying it heartily since its arrival. The book was written by Miss Sophie Dahl (aka grand daugther to legendary children’s book writer Roald Dahl). Though Miss Dahl has some mighty big shoes to fill, [...]

Food Rules by Michael Pollan

March 15, 2010 Favorites

If you haven’t picked up Food Rules, An Eater’s Manual, I highly recommend it. Michael Pollan, author of Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food, recently published this fine pocket-sized book. The text is divided into three parts (What should I eat? What kind of food should I eat? and How should I eat?) with [...]
