A Life of Spice

"Pure & Simple" - AARP, September & October 2007

I adore Chef Michel Nischan's cooking. Check out my interview with him on what "Pure & Simple" means in terms of food and cooking and how to apply it in your life.

SPAVA coffee - July 18th, 2007

None of the things I post here are paid endorsements.. for those of you who emailed me to ask!

My hubby made me some very inviting SPAVA coffee this morning. It was very smooth and had no bitterness..even the dark roast that we drank. The coffee is organic and the one we tried was enriched with green tea and guarana extract. ALthough I did not tase any green tea, the coffee itself, I think, will become a staple in our house.

Of course.. my all time favorite coffee is Dunkin Donuts!

Garden Harvest toasted chips by Nabisco

The new Garden Harvest Toasted Chips by Nabisco are delightful! Some friends and I tried some last night and they are quite flavorful. We tasted the tomato basil and vegetable medley chips - I thought we may need some dip or something to punch them up but as it turned out, they stood their own and we needed nothing! The cool part is that they are whole grain and I did not see anything digustingly artifical on the list of ingredients either. My son seemed to enjoy the Apple cinnamon chips... so much better than eating sugary cookies!
