I love shopping Trader Joe’s . I am lucky to have one in my town, but before that I would drive 30 minutes to the closest one to my house. We affectionately call it “Chicken Joe’s” because when my daughter was little- that’s what she …

I kept wondering this question when I am at the store. I make homemade pasta sauce pretty much every week. Sometimes I buy whole tomatoes, sometimes pureed, sometimes crushed, why so many varieties, and what should you buy for what you are making? So, I …
I bought this bag of Wheat berries a few months ago and they’ve been in my freezer ever since! So last night I decided I would cook some up to have on hand, and part of that went into my totally deluxe breakfast this morning! …
As part of the Food Buzz Taste-testers program I received 3 boxes of their cereal. I’ve tried their cereal before, but was really impressed with the recipes you can make with them. All of their cereals are high in fiber. In fact the cereal pictured …
Irish Soda Bread recipe – just in time for St. Patty’s day, I made my first loaf of Irish Soda bread over the weekend. I had no idea how easy it is to make! I googled Irish Soda bread and ended up choosing a recipe …
I came back from the store and started to make dinner and forgot to buy the packet of fajita seasoning! It was too late to start something else, because I already started cooking the chicken and peppers. So, I did a google search, got some …
I was asked if I would try MaraNatha Nut butters and I jumped at the chance. I LOVE almond butters and all natural peanut butters anyway vs. the sugary kind and super processed kind. Please check out their website at www.maranatha.com. Their company was founded …
Have you ever woken up and decided you don’t really feel like a “breakfasty” kind of meal. No pancakes, no oatmeal, no cereal, I want something different! So, this is what I made for my breakfast: 1 cup cooked quinoa sugar snap peas red onion, …

I was asked by Muir Glen if I would be interested in tasting their new line of canned tomatoes. Ummm…yeah! Since I make home made pasta sauce virtually every week, or add diced tomatoes to soups and stews, I knew I would use them. Little …
I’ve done a few things differently as I mark the first week of trying to consume 10-13 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. I’ve noticed a few patterns here: *I’ve had almost no snacks. Just breakfast, lunch and dinner *I’ve had NOTHING after dinner …

My Mom gave me a great loaf of bread that’s perfect to make French Toast. But, after looking at the nutritional information, each slice of bread was 160 calories! Yikes! But, I thought two slices of french toast with sugar free syrup wouldn’t be THAT …
I’m not sure if you have seen these in the store yet. They are relatively new. In fact, I was asked to try these a few months ago, but every store I went to, they were not on the shelf. That is all changed. You …
