Dry Roasted Edamame…Yum!

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Looking for a super healthy snack? Try dry roasted edamame! I picked up a tub of the Seapoint Farms brand last time I was at Costco and I am completely addicted. They provide the crunch of nuts without the huge amount of fat and calories and are a great source of soy [...]

Arctic Zero

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

I read about a product called Arctic Zero in an email I subscribe to and had to check it out immediately. I love ice cream but I hate fat and calories. Arctic Zero is basically a yummy frozen protein shake that comes in a pint, just like ice cream! The whole pint [...]

Walden Farms

Friday, July 24th, 2009

I have been really into healthy eating for quite sometime now, and one of my favorite little “secrets” is a company called Walden Farms.

Cookie Monster!

I Scream, You Scream!

Friday, May 1st, 2009

FYI the beloved Mint Brownie fro-yo is BACK at Mitchell’s Ice Cream. For those of you who are less inclined to go for the healthy option, I highly recommend the LeBrownie Sundae. Besides, what better way to cheer on our Cavs then to indulge in a gooey warm brownie topped with vanilla ice [...]

White Flower Cake Shoppe

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Whenever I need a cake for anything (this time it was grandpa’s birthday) I head over to White Flower Cake Shoppe. I first discovered White Flower when my wedding planner introduced me when we were looking for someone to design our wedding cake. This was when owners and designers Marianne Carroll and [...]

For delicious cupcakes in ridiculously imaginative flavors, check out Main Street Cupcakes in Hudson.  They happen to be Ohio’s first bakeshop that does cupcakes and only cupcakes, and they have certainly perfected the art!  My husband taste-tested the Buckeye (chocolate cake filled with peanut butter fluff topped with chocolate ganache and peanut butter buttercream) and [...]
