CHIP CONFESSION & YOGURT OBSESSION

Hear ye hear ye. I hate kettle chips. I am not referring to the "brand", but the semi-new-old fangled way of making tater chips by hand in small batches using a kettle. I know that many of you are ripping my "foodie" badge off my arm as I write this, but I don't care. I LOVE Lays and Ruffles, but I don't buy them because I don't shop at a regular grocery store and they are not worth the weight they put on my conscience. I love Trader Joes for many reasons and one of which is their ability to [...]

THE METHOD OF THANKS

Do you remember the riveting video I made on my roof top about my favorite dish soap and sponge? If not, then please view it below. If you do, then you might remember how I raved about Method's incredibly attractive and practical packaging for their dish soap, but I also mentioned that I was very surprised that they didn't make a refill. It turns out that the people at Method saw my video and mailed me a wonderful refill before it had even hit stores! The refill is super cute and kinda weird looking. I would have loved to have [...]

NESPRESSO & A SELFISH BRIDE-TO-BE

In July of 2008 I fell in love twice at the Villagio Inn and Spa in Yountville (Napa), California, which happens to be where my fellow and I got married on April 16th, 2011. The first love was obviously my husband who very wisely incorporated overnight stays at the Villagio as part of his courtship repertoire and the second was to be found inside the Villagio rooms. Nope, it wasn't the extra fluffy bed and lovely soft cotton sheets, or the spa tub with luxurious Molton Brown products or the nice robes and real fire place. It was, in fact, [...]

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, [...]

KEEP IT CLEAN

I am possibly the only person to ever make a video about their favorite dish soap and their favorite sponge. I am also probably the last person to do so. I really don't want to steal any thunder from my very exciting video, so I will end my post now. Enjoy! (I do need to note that some types of cellulose are natural. I hope I didn't give too much away!)
