Migas Recipe: Omelet with Corn Tortillas

Years ago I had a roommate of Mexican descent. One of his ways to jazz up omelets was to add corn tortillas. Not underneath but rather torn into pieces and added to the eggs as they cooked. I finally gave migas a try yesterday and loved the added chewiness and sweetness. My version used spinach, […]

Product Review: Bobo’s Oat Bars

Unfortunately, a local natural food store is shutting down for good. The silver lining as a consumer is that I discovered arguably the best impulse buy ever: Bobo’s Oat Bars, at a discount. These 3 ounces bars from Boulder come in a bunch of flavors. I picked up original and peach. For the first tasting […]

Sweet and Sour Pork Chop Recipe

Inspired by American style Chinese food, this sweet and sour marinade keeps pork moist and flavorful. I did it with pork chops but it can be used with spare ribs or even ground meat. Serve with rice or with mashed potatoes. Don’t forget to garnish with the pineapple chunks and green onions. Pineapple juice is […]

Review: Almond Breeze Caramel Iced Coffee Caramel Macchiato Flavor

As someone who is lactose intolerant it’s not hard to resist dairy iced coffee. Seeing this RoodonFood friendly version from Almond Breeze was trickier however. Prior to purchase I didn’t know what a macchiato was but it sounded both fancy and tasty. The drink is creamy and colored like chocolate milk but doesn’t weigh you […]

Gluten Free Chocolate Cake with Vegan Frosting via Food.com

It was my boo’s birthday recently which meant finding the best cake recipe was of the utmost importance. Perhaps a sign of the times, googling “gluten free chocolate cake” yields over 25 million results. With that wealth of options it’s hard to choose. To narrow it down we considered lowest number of ingredients to buy, […]

Review: Udi’s Gluten Free Pizza Crust

Making everything from scratch is almost always better but every now and again it’s important to let yourself cheat. Pizza crusts are one of the most time consuming meals you can make so I was thrilled to find Udi’s Gluten Free Thin & Crispy crust for only $0.99 (2 pieces) at my local store (regular […]

Indian Spinach and Vegetable Medley (Palang Shaag-er Ghanto)

When I was young, meat was always the highlight of the meal. From lamb to fish to chicken curry, Ma knew how to whip it up. Now during visits home, my cravings shift towards the greener end of the spectrum. As the second course of traditional meals, leafy vegetables are a crucial part of the […]

Enjoy Life Crunchy Double Chocolate Cookies (6.3oz)

Some time ago I posted about Enjoy Life’s soft baked cookies. The local Pathmark features an extensive gluten free selection including a half-dozen types from this allergen friendly company. These Crunchy Double Chocolate cookies come 14 to a box. On sale they were $3 (regular price, $4.50-$6). The chocolate aroma is apparent as soon as […]

Chia Pods Blueberry Flavor Review

Chia products are popping up faster than Russian troops on a Ukranian border. With protein, fiber, omega 3s and minerals it’s not strange to see why. Scanning my local grocery store for shiny orange “special” stickers I spotted Chia Pods in the yogurt case. I was excited because the package is very sexy and even […]

Blue Cornbread with Honey Butter

A few months ago I picked up a book called Eating on the Wildside by Jo Robinson. Based on 10 years of research, the author covers the best ways to consume fruits and vegetables. One of the points she makes about corn is that white and yellow are bred for sweetness but aren’t as nutritious […]
