As many of you know by now, I have recently moved. Scheduled for a Friday, our move was extraordinarily smooth, with no broken pieces of china, nicked furniture, or scuffed walls. Once the movers left, my husband and I prepared ourselves for the never-ending task of unpacking. That’s when the doorbell rang: the former owners [...]

The folks at Kettle Brand have managed to pull off what I thought was impossible: making a baked chip you’d eat even if you didn’t care about your waistline.

I have to confess it – I am a snacker by nature. I simply cannot pass the long hours between breakfast, lunch, and dinner, without nibbling on something or other. Because these somethings add up at the end of the day, I go out of my way to find healthy snack options – and I [...]

I don’t use the word “experience” lightly, but enjoying Antoine Amrani‘s chocolates deserves it – it is a heavenly experience. The former Le Bec-Fin top pastry chef has just started an chocolate line and it is simply to die for: from the packaging (more on that below) to the deliciously luxurious bonbons, this is a [...]

I definitely don’t eat as much fruits and vegetables as I should. Don’t get me wrong: I have all the right intentions – I go the market and buy several different kinds of fruits, but more often than not they spoil before I have a chance to eat them. Also, taking them on-the-go can be [...]
