I would say that I enjoy shopping at Trader Joe’s, but I know a lot of people who are borderline obsessed with it. Despite all the love TJ’s gets, there’s also a lot of controversy. People take issue with the fact that it’s perceived as a health food store, but a lot of the products [...]
Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself that not everyone lives (or cooks, or eats) like I do. Last week, I went out to lunch with Cynthia. During the course of our conversation, she mentioned to me that she wished she was as good at menu planning as I am. The comment surprised me, [...]
My mother sent this video to me. It almost defies description…only that it’s wonderful on a number of levels, especially if you’re a Star Wars fan who also likes organic food. Enjoy.

Mark Bittman (him again?!) recently wrote this piece on “items you might spurn, along with some essential pantry and long-keeping refrigerator items you might consider” when stocking your cabinets. This article makes me want to throw out most of what’s in my cupboard…but it gave me a lot to think about, especially in regards to [...]
One might think that the best way to make and eat food that I actually desire would be to go to the store and get it myself. This always seems like a good plan until implementation. First of all, I’m pretty sure it’s only necessary to go to the store once or twice a week, [...]
