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.

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 […]

The Five Second Rule: Picking Up Food Off the Floor
Do you pick up food off the floor by invoking the “five second rule?” A preliminary study from Aston University in the U.K is backing up that claim. The study covered two of the most common bacteria, E. Coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Their findings support the idea that there really is such a thing as […]
Chilaquiles Verdes or Nachos in Green Tomatillo Sauce
Chilaquiles Verdes is another food like Sopa de Lima I came across in Mexico. It’s a pretty way of saying soggy nachos in green sauce. Which name sounds better to you? Despite the unappetizing translation it’s a very tasty breakfast or snack. With breakfast, the dish will often include a sunny side egg on top. […]
