A FOODIE PLAYGROUND 2011 – HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

It has been a little over a year since the maiden voyage of RealFoodies TastyBits! This will be the 50th post too! Woohoo! Thank you so much if you have been around since "day one" and have read every post. Thank you even more for commenting and spreading the word to your friends. I love you! The very first post was titled A FOODIE PLAYGROUND and was about a handful of food products I was “wowed” by at the the 2010 Fancy Food show in San Francisco, so I thought it would be fitting, for this one year anniversary post, [...]

DON’T GIMME NO HEALTHY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE!

Ok, ok, I won't! But I will give you a healthier cookie that is oh-so-tasty. We aren't skimping on fat and sugar, just replacing white flour for whole wheat.

BETTER THAN NUTELLA?

YES, BETTER. Put your guns down! This is my opinion. I, too, was in passionate love with Nutella for years until I read the ingredients. You are probably saying, "well, that was dumb." and perhaps it was, but luckily for me, I discovered not only a healthier alternative, but a tastier one too! Justin's is a crunchy company out of Boulder, Colorado, that has been in the nut butter business for several years. 16 0Z JAR I first tasted Justin's maple almond butter on a Virgin America flight a few years back. It was part of my $5 [...]

BRILLAT SAVARIN, NOT THE MAN.

The cheese. Brillat Savarin was the famous lawyer and gastronome from the early 1800's often quoted for saying,"Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are.", but more importantly, for this post, he is the man after which someone named one of the most creamy and luscious cheese experiences I have ever had. Have you tasted Brillat Savarin, again, not the man, but the cheese? ...When the rind is perfectly bloomy? When it has been sitting around for a few hours, a little droopy and defeated, feigning humility, yet taunting you to come hither? If you [...]
