When I go to Vegas I hit the Trader Joe's for my healthy snacks there and for the plane ride home.

No it is not acceptable and I run with a very social media savvy crowd (some professionals even). I am rather strict and call folks out unless we are at a tweet-up or other social media prompted gathering.

I love the term "deconstructed" when referring to toddler food - SO TRUE! I am jealous of all of you whose kiddos are knocking back the beans. We make a lot of them in our home and my son ate them with gusto until a month ago. That is the toddler rule though - one day yay, one day nay. At 20 months he has recently returned to devouring every veggie we put in front of him so it is a trade off with the beans for now. At least he loves eggs for the moment.

I recently started making this dish and my family is nuts for it. My first version was mostly raw thanks to some Ani Phyo cookbook guidance - but I can now adapt like crazy with whatever is in the fridge.

I used to be local, and aligned with my values before I got pregnant. Then through pregnancy and now with a toddler I mix it up to offer as much produce so he develops a taste for this stuff. I did get some canning this year to alleviate how few things are in-season here in Colorado but I do bend the rules if my little guy shows an interest in fresh produce we pass when we go shopping. For example here we are in January and he is devouring grapes.

All right. I can cut them some slack on S&H - just saw this on their facebook page. Apparently USPS had them increase the charge based on the size of the product from $2 to $5.

IMPORTANT: Hey everyone - this is our pre-emptive apology. Unfortunately we are being told by the USPO that we need to use their flat-rate shipping due to a size issue (1/8", seriously?!). Shipping and Handling charges have to be increased to reflect this, and will go from $2 to $5. All orders placed previously will be honored at the original terms. Sorry!

Our solution? Get some friends - we can fit many cuppows into 1 package. Bulk order and save yourself a buck!

This was great. I did not have any veggie broth so sauteed some onion, garlic, carrot, and celery in ghee for a while then added water before adding the roasted broccoli. I then pureed them all together and continued with the recipe. Delicious with great hints of orange flecks from the carrots.

Wow! What a redesign - I mean overhaul. I am looking forward to diving in.

I plan to become better friends with my food processor this year. I typically keep my cooking very simple with good olive oil, fresh grind pepper, good salt, and fresh herbs with what I do. However I want to explore sauces and marinades made with fresh produce and kick it up a notch without getting too fussy or wankery.

No sugar added apple pie seems to go over pretty well when I am in these situations. I just go crazy with spices and make a buttery crust.
