Kyle was just as sample savvy as I was at ExpoWest. He promised to do reviews as he ate them, but I thought he was joking… Then I got an email from him (with photos!) and descriptions and realized he was serious. Here are his notes, copied verbatim from his emails to me. Late July organic Dude Ranch multigrain snack chips Great cheese flavor and not too ranchy (the name is a bit deceiving), especially since I don’t like ranch dressing. The chips also have that fun powder flavor stuff on top that sticks… Read more >

If you like Italian food (particularly lasagna) and you’re looking for a shortcut. This is it. Vegan and gluten free deliciousness is minutes away. [Ok, that’s a slight exaggeration, there’s definitely 30 minutes of oven time to factor in] What you need: marinara sauce vegan cream cheese (I used Follow Your Heart brand) rice paper (Asian markets will have them for half the cost of conventional grocers) tempeh (I used LightLife flax) What you do: Layer. For the rice paper, hold it under running water for a few seconds so it starts to soften. Once… Read more >

First thing I did when I got up was inhale deeply. Even though our bedroom is upstairs, the aromas from the kitchen still make their way up to us overnight. Especially when I make bread right before bedtime. I took a few slices of each for breakfast (and general morning snacking). Excellent. I don’t have photos of all my work food. I brought pizza and other stuff. The dough was soooo good. Fluffy and soft. The sauce had too much garlic. FODMAPs fail. The cheese was melty. Really and truly. It melted. If you see… Read more >

When are you most productive in the day? Are you a morning person? I’m not. I don’t feel like cooking or baking in the morning (which is why I pack my work food the night before). I generally hit my stride in the early afternoon, but every once in a while I’ll have a late night frenzy in the kitch. Last night was one of those nights. We were out of bread. We had black bananas. We had raw home-made yeast dough that needed to meet it’s fate. And I was feeling chef-tastic. Count it… Read more >

1. What’s the breakfast I’ll never get sick of? Oatmeal. Because no two bowls are the same. Ever. I’m in a ’smores phase at the moment thanks to these home-made marshmallows. Some of my latest combos have included peanut butter, marshmallows, cinnamon, raisins, bananas, and carob chips. Many of my co-workers (among others) think oats are too “healthy” to be good and too boring to repeat. To me, that means they aren’t thinking outside the box. 2. Why is My Cousin Vinny so amazing? Grits Think about it. It’s a savory… Read more >
