You choose an apartment based on optimal lighting for food photos… Your first Netflix movie selection is Food Inc… You miss weddings for food festivals… Water and power outages affect your food prep and meal planning more than your acts of daily living (i.e. showering)… New food products generate more enthusiasm than "normal" things (like birthdays)… "Battery card full" may as well mean "you will be eating a cold dish” (aka “don’t touch this food until I free up space")… You are ecstatic over the return of a $4 fermented… Read more >

On my days off, I like to sleep in. The first thing I do upon waking up is wash my face and brush my teeth. But less than a second after, I make coffee. After that I water my babies.

My morning started with this newbie. To me, “Au Naturel”…is the classy way of saying “hippie food”…so clearly this was right up my alley. Like the rest of Udi’s products, this granola is gluten free. It also happens to be dairy free, soy free, nut free, and egg free (it’s is not vegan because it contains honey). The only ingredients are certified gluten free oats, wildflower honey and canola oil. That’s it! THREE ingredients. No wonder they call it Au Naturel… I packed myself a tupperware full of granola to add to my (unpictured) plain… Read more >
