Must Try Food: Publix Low Fat Yogurt (Cuban Edition)

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: July 10, 2011

Not only does Publix have an assortment of fun and cool yogurt flavors for less than $1, but yogurt itself packs a punck to infection, and strengths the body. Eating yogurt fills the body with probiotics “good bacterias like Bifidum,Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus Casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Streptococcus thermophilus ) ” Which basically reduce Gastrointestional inflammation, fight infection in the body, fight yeasts, and food infection and reduces fol allergies in people who have internal discomfort in their bowels.

Cooking Goals: What I’ve Accomplished and not yet accomplished

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: June 8, 2011

I love challenging myself and testing my willingness to step out of my comfort zone by assigning myself daring, fun and daily goals. I have a list of many items I have been wanting to cook, and will include them on here. So far, I’d say my progress has been pretty steady. I think cooking [...]

love making and drinking smoothies. It’s a great way to get your fruits serving, calcium and even protein! It’s a great way to replace a meal, and you can even add veggies to your smoothies!!! (I think only carrots may work for this, though) I am currently drinking a green tea and strawberry (with orange juice) smoothie. I love the green tea’s light and herbal flavor, but I also appreciate its caffeine content.

Buttermilk Biscuits From Scratch!!! Recipe and Review!

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: May 18, 2011

I have heard from biscuit enthusiasts that biscuit making was no joke. From the wide variety of methods to the variety of styles, biscuits are diverse, yet timeless. This essential food is one I often crave, and have been contemplating making. I searched from a biscuit recipe that I was not familiar with, offering my a sense of culinary innovation and a dash of a challenge/risk element. Would I even like these biscuits? Would this uncommon ingredients used in this recipe pay off, or disappoint? Plus, it’s somewhat sweet!

Money-Saving Tip- Going Generic

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: May 18, 2011

One can save loads of money by bulking up on generic brands. I frequent Publix, and they aren’t quite cheap, but offer competitive generic products. For example, I just bought a pack of butter (the normal 4 sticks) for $.99! I was glad about that(considering the other prices were nearing the $3 range.) Target and [...]

Must Try Food: Sweet Potato Fries (with a surprise tip!)

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: May 14, 2011

Firstly, I must blog about my new guilt free indulgence sweet potato fries.  I love sweet potatoes as I find them more versatile and tasty than regular white potatoes. Also, nutritionally, they are more valuable than white potatoes. Let’s compare briefly. First, here’s a video of the difference between the two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTb42OGnxLQ Nutritional Content of : White Potatoes and [...]

Must Try Junk Food: Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: May 2, 2011

For starters, the cookie is a whopping $.50, the perfect amount of money to try it, and if it doesn’t taste good, you didn’t go broke in being adventurous. (I find that to be a plus. Anyone else with me, here?) Biting into it, one will notice the chewy texture, and the golden buttery taste of the cookie, and then boom

Godiva’s Vanilla Sundae Dark Chocolate Truffle

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 15, 2011

Biting into it, there will be a sharp note of bittersweet, rich dark chocolate, followed by a creamy, delicate vanilla taste with a creamy buttery undertone. Its texture mirrors caramel (though it is cream in color), and though no vanilla beans are absent, there is a complexity of the satiny vanilla that stems from the product’s quality ingredients; White chocolate, vanilla powder, and vanilla work hand in hand to stand out on their own, but bow down humbly to the dark chocolate’s authority, both harmoniously defining each other’s tastes.

Random Post: Saxby’s Strawberry Turnover.

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 11, 2011

It was like eating warm strawberry jam that tasted too soggy to be yummy. Maybe next time, Saxby’s. Just kidding, hahaha. Once I dislike something, it’s hard to give it another go. Manifestations of trust issues,perhaps?

International Delights Cinnabon Coffee Creamer Review

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 11, 2011

Although I liked their replication of the bun, I wouldn’t buy it again, because the inclusion of a cream cheese undertone in my coffee is just plain weird. I even considered that it would be when I was considering purchasing it, but I figured the cream cheese icing flavor would be obsolete.
