I met the Gourmet Garden Herbs and Spices team when I was at Food Blog South earlier this year. Now I’ve known about Gourmet Garden for years having seen the tubes in the herb section of the produce aisle at my grocery store. However – true confession time – I’d never used their product! So [...]
Even though I had my shoulder surgery last October, I was still experiencing a lot of pain during the recovery process. My neck and shoulder muscles were especially affected since they were over compensating for weak rotator cuff muscles and were tight and swollen. I was also going to physical therapy two to four hours [...]
I love, love, love my KitchenAid mixer and don’t know how I’d cook without it.

They found that 71 percent of respondents say their families eat dinner together as often as or more than their families did when they were kids. Over 70 percent of American families use [...]
Usually I’m very disappointed with celebrity cookbooks as the recipes are just the same old stuff and the quality of the recipe and book are usually so-so. Well, that’s not the case with Made With Love: The Meals On Wheels Family Cookbook! The recipes are unique, modern and interesting, and the photographs are beautiful. Even [...]
Last year, I shared with you a few recipes using blueberries from Chile – Salmon, Fresh Blueberries and Lemon Salad with Chive Vinaigrette and Fresh Chilean Blueberry and Cranberry Relish along with a recipe that featured their grapes - Chilean Grape and Wild Rice Dressing. While I’m all about sustainability and supporting local farmers, I [...]
Just released this month at food, drug and mass retailers nationwide, Brookside Chocolate is a new dark chocolate indulgence with a healthy twist – cocoa flavanols combined with the delicious flavors of pomegranate, blueberry/acai, and goji/raspberry.

As [...]
I get a lot of pitches for weight loss, diet and exercise programs all the time – most are a waste of time or the same old thing. However, when I was introduced to Lifesize portions and received their product, I knew that the creators had developed a way to make controlling food portions so [...]

Since it has a photo for [...]
