I really like Amy's Organic Beans & Rice Burrito, but as a non-vegetarian, I like to eat meat too. A lot of burritos are very large and calorie dense, so I'm pretty aggressive about analyzing nutrition labels on burritos. For...

My mother sent me these Milk Chocolate Domino Cubes from Aldi before the holidays. A stack of gingerbread, apple jelly and parsipan.
Suanne asks:
Do you know if the chicken spice (packet) is sold separately from the noodles?
If you do, where can I purchase this from?
The closest I’ve ever been able to do is buying chicken bullion or beef bullion. I prefer to buy the powdered kind rather than the cubes so that I can control the [...]

I don't usually comment on matters of taste when it comes to cereal, as we all have our preferences and unique taste buds. But, a recent vacation on a Holland America Line cruise ship brought me into contact with a remarkable breakfast experience. Their Swiss Muesli was a favorite for many, and I even found some buzz about it since on the Internet. If you are looking for something different I'd encourage you to make a batch of this recipe. If you can, it is absolutely amazing with fresh berries...

I spent the latter part of this week at the Vino2010 conference in New York.

One of the panels I attended was entitled "The Future of Luxury Wine" and involved a good panel discussion on the outlook for wines priced over $30 in the next few years.
Moderated by Karen MacNeil, wine educator and author of The Wine Bible, Am...

When I was at Miette Confiserie late last year I picked up a handful of little individually wrapped candies. One was a licorice caramel called Krema Batna.
Here are a few product reviews posted this week from other blogs we like.
There’s a cereal that tastes like cupcakes, which I believe justifies all those times I ate actual cupcakes for breakfast. (via We Rate Stuff)
Japan has a Corn Kit Kat. I wonder if, just like eating actual corn, it comes out [...]

It may or may not be a first, but it's certainly an unusual notion. The gang over at Tavalon Tea are currently sponsoring an interactive tea tasting. What's it all about?

Inspired by Mae West, I created a cocktail containing ample aphrodisiacs: goji, pomegranate, cayenne and cocoa. Mae supposedly was not a big drinker, but you can find her lapping it up in the movie Night After Night . With this in mind, I decided to make a fizz. A fizz always includes something bubbly, and when that bubbly is Champagne, it becomes a "diamond fizz."
The common ingredients in a fizz are citrus juice, a swee...

A new Food Court Survival Guide from cookinglight.com addresses that dilemma and offers six relatively healthy choices from McDonald's, Taco Bell, Starbucks and other fast-food restaurants.
Sodium, saturated fat and calories were the key consid...
