Rood Recipes: Heirloom Tomato Salsa
Heirloom Tomatoes are another amazing summer food. If you want to get someone interested in buying produce locally or regionally, you need only walk them by a farm stand featuring heirlooms. The seeds are by definition passed down from generation to generation so what you’ll find in your area may be totally different than the […]
Garden of Eatin’ Blue Corn Tortilla Chips Review (Hain Celestial Group)
These Garden of Eatin’ Blue Chip Corn Tortilla Chips (8.1 oz, $3.19) were a case of mistaken identity. The intention was to pick up GoE’s superior Sesame Blues instead. Luckily, the regular blue chips are also decent. They’re fairly no nonsense. The chips are organic and are only made of three ingredients: blue corn, oil […]
Rood Recipes: Indian Style Green Beans Recipe
Green Beans are a must have summer food for me. I love how they’re piled high at the farmer’s market stand. It’s a bit like playing jenga – you have to be careful which beans you choose so as not to cause a mess. They make a wonderful side. One of my favorite ways to […]
Sensible Portions Veggie Chips (Sea Salt)
I’m really enjoying the Sensible Portions Veggie Chips (7oz, $3.39). They have no cholesterol or trans fat and 30% less fat than potato chips. It very clearly labels portion size as 38 chips which is a satisfying amount. As with pretty much every type of veggie chip you won’t get much nutrition from these but […]
Cool Runnings in Bradley Beach NJ: Jamaican and Carribean Food Review
Cool Runnings is a a relatively new addition to Bradley Beach. They offer Jamaican and pan-Island food options. Located on 123 Main St (heehee) I’ve tried them a half dozen times so far and have mostly positive feedback. Many people say it’s easy to miss. It’s in the same plaza as the Country Farms convenience […]
Primal Strips Vegan and Sometimes Gluten Free Jerky
I’m a sucker for beef jerky so a Vegan and V/GF version I had to try. I picked these up at the local convenience store though they sell it online in many places as well. Mesquite Lime Flavor: This flavor is vegan and made with seitan. Based on the ingredients mesquite wood isn’t used but […]
Wise Kettle Cooked Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips
The Wise Owl eye logo is among the coolest logos out there. I still don’t buy Wise chips often though because I rarely crave regular potato chips which Is my association for the brand. These though are Kettle Cooked and Salt & Vinegar which kicks up the potential for tastiness up substantially. As an added […]
Mozzarrelli’s Gluten Free Pizza
In typical RoodonFood fashion I had an expiring Groupon and waited until the next to last day to redeem it. I’m so glad it didn’t go to waste. Mozzarrelli’s Gluten Free Pizza is fantastic. Located at 38 E 23rd (between Madison and Park), the restaurant is exceedingly clean otherwise it looks like any other pizza […]
El Milagro Totopos (Tortilla Chips)
El Milagro Totopos took a few days to grow on me. The bag was $3 on sale for 16oz so it was a pretty good price as compared with the similarly packaged Xochitl chips. I didn’t want to like these chips because they’re very cocky. For example, on the package they refer to themselves as […]
Jubilat Provisions in Brooklyn: Go for the smoked meats, stay for the puffed corn
My favorite place for kielbasy in the area is called Jubilat Provisions located on 608 5th Avenue @ 17th St in Brooklyn. If you keep your eyes peeled in addition to the selection of smoked meats, cold cuts, mustards, and pickles you’ll occasionally spot some interesting snack items. My interest in trying new foods has […]
