Cereal Eats: Mexican vs. American Cereal Showdown

Not a sugar cereal fan (um, I make my own cereal from popper amaranth, HIPPIE)- but this was great.

I did have to cringe at the biggest box difference though- all of the American cereal boxes have health claims on them! Eeeesh.

Have You Heard of JoJos?

I'm from Juneau, AK and now live in Seattle and have been eating them since childhood! Fred Meyer seems like it was the usual source, but a lot of independent grocery stores have them too. LOVE them with ranch!

Ice Cream-Obsession Leads Critic-Turned-Cook To the Source at Werkhoven Dairy Farm

I LOVE Snoqualmie Gourmet and practically live off of their French Lavender. Great post- thanks for sharing! Does the dairy offer tours to the public? I'm in Seattle and I'd love to check it out.

Gadgets: Bodum French Press Travel Mug

I bought my BF one for some holiday or another and he doesn't use it every day, but does on weekends. He's the only coffee drinker and we don't have room for a maker or require a full sized press, so this has been a good option. He often just adds a tiny scoop of ice cream once it's brewed... cream and sugar that melts into it!

The Crisper Whisperer: 10 Tips to Take to the Farmers' Market

We often buy frozen meat with a broken seal (we go to the same farmer every week) if we plan on using it that day. We've always had great luck with this, and get a nice discount on top of it. We also look for the smaller stands, and almost always find better prices that way.

I've also lucked out at the end of the market and gotten an entire bag of leftover cheese samples, as well as apple slices. Great snack!

Poll: How Do You Like Your Ice Cream?

I'm much more likely to eat it out of a bowl, but I love love love a good hand made ice cream cone.

Andrew Zimmern Uncovers Arizona's Most Bizarre Eats

Kombucha is weird? I'm brewing a big lovely jar of kombucha at home RIGHT this second. And I just downed a big delicious glass of the stuff! Fermented tea, yum!

Slice Poll: Best Frozen Pizza?

The only only only frozen pizza ever in our freezer is the margarita from Trader Joe's. Not sure of the brand name, but it's pretty straight up with no weird ingredients, and actually tastes like pizza.

Is Your Pet Named After a Food (or Food Critic)?

Oh yeah- and the goldfish named Tempura and Wasabi. Past fish were Sushi and Fudge (bottom feeder- ew!)

Is Your Pet Named After a Food (or Food Critic)?

Our cat is also named Ollie- short for Olive. I also like to call her Kalli Ollie- short for Kalamata Olive!

Cook the Book: 'Ready for Dessert'

North Douglas Chocolate Cake from The Fiddlehead Cookbook based out of Juneau, Alaska. My absolute favorite cake of all time.

Cook the Book: 'Rose's Heavenly Cakes'

"North Douglas" chocolate cake I made with my mom- we snuck in some layers of blood orange curd, and it was absolutely ridiculous.

French Macarons from Trader Joe's Are Pretty Damn Good

They have them at the Ballard store in Seattle- I saw them this past weekend, but didn't pick them up because I was a bit skeptical. Good to know! I'll have to pick some up tomorrow.

Kombucha: The Acquired Taste for Funky-Tasting Fermented Tea

What's The Worst Restaurant Name You've Ever Heard?

Monkey Bridge here in Seattle. While the food is great, and the name has a cute story- I actually avoided going there for nearly a year, just because I found the name so obnoxious and weird for a restaurant.

Your Kitchen Hacks?

I love doing Annies Mac & Cheese with sauteed fresh tomatoes (or canned), so all of the juices come out. Then just mix in the powder and there's no need for milk! Seriously yum.
