Here’s an idea for a simple summer meal:
Fettuccine (store-bought or homemade) tossed with tomato, chopped basil, grated Parmesan, olive oil, salt and pepper. This is a great recipe for summer because you can grow the tomatoes and basil yourself, or get them at the farmer’s market.
Dessert? Watermelon or seasonal berries!

Comparisons: Reusable Water Bottles

This post will compare four water bottles that are on the market. It can be confusing to know which to buy if you don’t already have a tried and tested favorite. So, here’s my take on Sigg, Klean Kanteen, Blue Q, and Pura. I’m sure there are other brands out there, but these are the [...]

<3 Chocolove. My boyfriend got me one of these bars and earned some brownie points, so to speak. This Boulder, Colorado chocolate company makes delicious all-natural chocolate bars. They have a few that are organic too. The best part besides the taste? Inside each wrapper there is a love poem, so it’s a nice treat [...]
Bon Appetit’s Green Issue

Bon Appetit’s February 2009 issue doesn’t get an A+ for its green score because it emphasizes a lot of meat (though it does say that grass fed beef is best). However, this issue is devoted to being green in the kitchen, and therefore I have to applaud them for trying. There’s a spread about 50 [...]
