Every morning, I sprinkle some ground flax seed on my Ezekiel English muffin, just because. Because it tastes all yummy and nutty, and because it’s full of healthy fats and fiber. Just an aside, the ground flaxseed goes on whatever the kid is eating too — that’s right, he calls them “sprinkles” and knows nothing […]
I normally have glowing things to say about Whole Foods Market. In fact, I would almost consider my coverage biased at this point I love the place so much. However, today things change. Alright, so they don’t change that much because I still love my Whole Foods. However, they have let me down recently, and […]
Welcome to Salivation Station. Turn the channel to Internet food video bites, for your one-way ticket to endless salivation. I love spicy food. I love spicy stuff so much that I’m starting to wonder if I’m some sort of masochist, sometimes chomping into tiny, raw hot peppers just to see how hot they are. Probably […]
I’m sure you’ve fallen into the same trap with your kids. No matter how healthy you try to be, as soon as they’re old enough to start ordering their own food at restaurants, they discover the kids’ meals… and the French fries. I really have a bone to pick with pretty much every restaurant in […]
I mentioned in a previous post that I had never tried asparagus. I know, weird right? I love vegetables, especially green ones. So why did it take me more than 26 years to try this one? I don’t really have a good reason. Finally, curiosity got the better of me and I bought some the […]
Join Debbie as she raves about whole foods, rants about chemicals and generally celebrates cooking and eating with fresh, local, nutritious foods. And sometimes she might get a little feisty…. You’ve heard it here first. Yes, that’s right: I officially will stop complaining about the piddly amounts of produce our CSA farm has been giving […]
There’s something so much fun about getting my edamame harvest every year from our CSA farm. Maybe it’s because I don’t eat unfermented soy normally, so it feels like cheating, or going off the diet or simply indulging. Or it could be simply that it’s fun to cook something I never cook, and the hulling […]
There’s more to food than recipes. We’ll approach the answers to growing questions, and new ways of taking on tricks of the food trade, and Boil It Down for you. I caught the first couple of seasons of FOX’s reality series, Hell’s Kitchen, but lost interest when I got sick of hearing chef Gordon Ramsay […]
Lauren’s back Guest-clacking for us again, after last sharing with us her diatribe on the atrocity that is mayonnaise. I wouldn’t want anyone to think from my last post that I am a picky eater. I am, but I don’t want you to think that because I hate mayonnaise. Indeed, there are foods out there […]
When my sister-in-law recently told me about a relatively new Worcester restaurant that offers all local fare, I was intrigued, to say the least. Heck, I base my whole column, Fresh Foodie, on championing local, whole foods. So I hopped over to Armsby Abbey‘s website to check out the goods. Yeah, it’s about the beer, […]
