This past Sunday, which happened to be Easter Sunday, my friends Allie and Kelly had a few friends over for a potluck brunch. Our gracious hostesses had rice wrappers, rice noodles, lettuce, mint, basil, cilantro, a delicious peanut sauce, and several other spring roll fixings. I wasn't very good at wrapping them (my wrappers kept cracking because I failed to moisten them enough), but eating them came pretty naturally. As silly as it sounds,...

Our friends Jason and Christina came to visit this past weekend, and we decided to make the above deliciousness the night before they left. This might be the most indulgent treat I've shared in a Foody Friday post yet, but I see nothing wrong with occasionally living a little. Using dark chocolate in place of the white could've easily made this snack much smarter (and perhaps tastier if you're a dark chocolate fan like me), but we had an entire box of Baker's white chocolate left over...

I came across the tastiest looking recipe for roasted strawberries on Design Sponge last week, and I just so happened to have all the necessary ingredients (pictured above) except for one. After determining that I could substitute the port wine with marsala, I went to work making my own batch of roasted strawberries. The whole process was an absolute breeze!
First, I quartered the strawberries.
Apparently, I have some dangerous eating habits.

I just finished a Care2 article that listed 5 Dangerous Eating Habits, and I felt a more than a little ashamed of myself a couple of times while reading it. I'll give you guys a very brief overview of the article, by listing the 5 bad habits and sharing which ones I frequently practice, in case you don't feel like reading the whole thing. I'd recommend reading it, though, since it explains why each habit is actually bad...interesting stuff! 1. Eating too fast- Don't we all? I usually try to savor my food, but sometimes I get caught up in...

I'm in an article-readin' kind of mood; here are a few of the most interesting ones that I've come across today: Chemicals to Avoid + Alternatives- This Eco Stiletto article talks you through a few of the harshest ingredients and why they should be avoided. It also recommends a few brands that are known to have safe ingredients. I appreciate articles that go a step further than telling me what I'm doing wrong. The Safety of Personal Care Products- Here's a scary article from Care2 about the insane amount of chemicals that are found in personal care products....

photo credit: » Zitona « I just read an article about foods that may slow the aging process, and I found it to be both interesting and helpful. I tend to become so focused on health and beauty products that I forget how big a role the food we eat actually plays in our overall quality of life. I plan to buy kiwis, dark chocolate, and white tea tomorrow when I go grocery...
