Eat happily

have a good time

No, No, No…

September 3, 2009 Leave a Comment

Last night we went grocery shopping. As we rounded the perimeter of the 190,000 square foot store we came to the deli counter. And we saw this culinary offering…

I know the term “food snob” applies to individuals who basically go to the nth degree to have utmost perfection in food selection and preparation. I may not be that person but I do know when to say “No” to imperfect food.

My dear family & friends in Northwest Arkansas (and wherever you may live) make a stand and respect your palate. Just say “No, No, No” when you come across food that has been prepared with an I-don’t-care attitude.

Your body is worth it.

Ways to say “No, No, No?”

1.
Don’t buy it. Don’t eat it.

2.
When you see something sitting out in a deli counter in disarray, say something to the employees, associates, deli manager, store manager, anyone who works at the deli. If enough of us say something, in theory they will improve the situation.

3.
Tweet about it. Retailers and restaurants should be listening.

4.
Check your cash register receipt. Some Retailers include a link to an online survey. Here is your chance to be heard.

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

If you're like me, I try my best to eat as healthy If you're like me, I try my best to eat as healthy as possible. And that often means to load up on all types of vegetables! Sometimes that can be a challenge, depending on picky eaters or perhaps not having enough variety, and - frankly - don't we sometimes just need a little imagination and motivation in the kitchen? ⁠

A couple of years ago I had the privilege of shooting product shots for @drcowanspowders and quickly became in love with the ease of vegetable powders. They can be used like spices and "hidden" in all types of foods like burgers, yogurts, smoothies, soups, and dips. To name a few. So, now I'm also an affiliate for them because I love them. Please use my link in bio to check them out (at no cost to you) and because they are celebrating their 5 year anniversary, you get 25% off storewide until April 19th. Sooo.... hurry!⁠

Ask me any questions, I'd be happy to answer!
Hello, beautiful lemon! 🍋🍋🍋 If you're som Hello, beautiful lemon! 🍋🍋🍋 If you're someone who buys a lot of lemons and juices them... did you know that you can "zest" the peels using a microplane and stick them in the freezer for future use? Meal prepping at its best, baby! I posted a recipe on the blog last week for Instant Pot pressure cooker creme brulee with a touch of lemon. This zest is perfect for that! I also keep it on hand for madeleines... Dennis requests those like every day!
Are you using your pressure cooker to its fullest Are you using your pressure cooker to its fullest potential? I've barely scratched the surface but I gotta' tell you... I use it all week long for soups! Recently I decided that I wanted to use it to make a dessert and started browsing around on Pinterest. I decided to make creme brulee in my Instant Pot! After playing around with it, I posted (link in bio) a recipe for creme brulee with a touch of lemon.🍋
I don't really have a sweet tooth yet I always hav I don't really have a sweet tooth yet I always have a "little something" in the pantry to satisfy the little bit of sweet tooth that I have! After a zillion years of blogging, I can count on one hand the number of desserts that I've blogged about. So, when I do create a recipe and actually post it, I'm like, "Look at me, I'm a baker now!" hahaha Actually, it's not all about baking. For example, I just posted a recipe for Instant Pot creme brulee with a touch of lemon. Link in bio, of course! The ingredients are super simple and the pressure cooker makes it super fast and easy. Best of all? It is #lowcarb and #keto!
I don't know about you, but man I love a good sala I don't know about you, but man I love a good salad. The best thing about this salad (okay, besides the taste) is that the ingredients are sooooo easy to make ahead of time. That means you can dinner prep and toss this salad together at the last moment. As all good salad should do.⁠
The stars of this healthy salad are the hearty veggies: sweet potatoes and radishes. You’re going to roast them first. That’s right, roast!
A healthy salad is wholesome. Substantial. Strong A healthy salad is wholesome. Substantial. Strong enough to sail on its own, yet perfectly willing to tag along with the main course. In fact, I think you’ll love serving this salad whenever you may have someone at the dinner table that is drawn to more-veggies and less-meat.⁠

It’s pretty isn’t it?

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
