Peach Season!!
It's that time of year again folks.... Peaches!!! They're a fantastic way to expand your fruit repertoire and are an excellent addition to cereal, oatmeal and make great pies too. My favs are White Lady Freestones.
TIP: Before you eat peaches, they should be relatively "squishy" to the touch. If they're as hard as say, an apple, sit them on a window sill to help them rippen.
Bon Appetit!

Oreo My Goodness!!
For the Oreo obsessed, the Oreo Madness is a must from your neighborhood T.G.I. Fridays.
It's a perfect culinary marriage of crunchy, supersized Oreo cookies with Cookies and Cream ice cream in the middle. If that wasn't enough, they serve up some chocolate and caramel drizzle with a fresh strawberry in place of the overused "cherry on top" cliché. Tasty AND creative!
Bon Appetit!

Best. Light. Tomato Food. (B.L.T.)
Bacon. Lettuce. Tomato. If that's not a recipe for greatness, then I don't know squat about food... and I'd like to think I know a thing or two. The great thing about a B.L.T. is that it's technically and socially acceptable to eat whenever you'd like. Let's study this a bit further:
Breakfast: Bacon (Bacon and Eggs; Bacon, Egg and Cheese sandwich), Bread (toast)
Lunch: Lettuce + Tomato = a light salad; Bacon (Bacon Bits on a baked potato)
Dinner: Bacon again! (Bacon Wrapped Scallops, Bacon Cheeseburger)
These obviously aren't all the delightful options but as you can imagine, the possibilities are endless.
The final "plus" I'll leave you with is this:
When I was little, it was a treat to have my mom make a B.L.T. Now that I'm an adult, I can make one whenever I'd like... and I do.

Move Over Cheez-Its!
Well I'm here to tell you "just say no to Cheez-Its". It's not as much of a protest as it is a matter of personal preference, but I've discovered something far more satisfying; Better Cheddars. They're thinner, lighter, bigger and always fresh, never burnt; they're the Batman to our Gotham City of after-breakfast-but-before-lunchtime woes. The trick, however, is finding a grocery store that carries them. One source reported a Better Cheddar sighting at a local Food Lion.
So join me, my brothers and sisters, as we say NO to over-commercialized, delusions of cheesy trickery and shout a loud and resounding YES to the Better Cheddar underdog!
