Review: Hi, I’m Skinny Sweet Potato Sticks (7oz)
Usually I don’t care for brands with skinny in the title. I made an exception for “Hi I’m Skinny” (HIS) because they’re sweet potato flavor and it doesn’t have any of the aforementioned imagery. Also, it was on sale at the local Rite Aid for $2.50. Calories conscious folks will be happy to read that […]
Enjoy Life Gingerbread Spice Cookies Review
Enjoy Life makes great products. I’ve previously reviewed soft-baked chocolate chip and crunchy double chocolate cookies. These gingerbread spice cookies are easily the best of the bunch though. It’s deceptively tricky to make a cookie that is vegan, gluten free, soft and actually tastes great. Every bite fills the mouth with the brightness of ginger […]
What’s In My Food? Xanthan Gum
RoodonFood Note: What’s That In My Food is a new series where I’ll be exploring some of the stranger sounding ingredients in common foods and recipes. If you’ve ever bought salad dressing or baked anything gluten free, odds are you’ve come across “xanthan gum.” Generally used as a thickener and/or emulsifier, only small amounts are […]
Ajvar, Red Pepper and Eggplant Dip Recipe
As promised here is a simple recipe for making ajvar, the traditional red pepper and eggplant dip served with cevapi, Bosnian (Serbian/Croatian) grilled sausage. It’s naturally vegan and gluten free so it’s something that can be eaten on sandwiches, with chips. It’s easy to make as long as you have access to some type of […]
Product Review: DF Mavens New Orleans Salted Praline
The HBO show, Treme is set in post-Katrina New Orleans just months after the disaster. I wasn’t sure how the show could be anything but depressing. Luckily, it offers plenty of levity in the form characters like wacky DJ David Maclary (Steve Zahn), restaurateur Janette Desautel (Kim Dickens), and musicians galore like Antoine Baptiste (Wendell […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
