Favorite Food Friday

Today's featured food favorite is actually a product I was first introduced to after I began work at the university farm store. These Multigran Chips from Food Should Taste Good are amazing!!The entire brand is actually wonderful; however, these chips take the cake for me! Each chip is sturdy and thick with great texture and unique visual appeal (gotta love the octagonal shape and the flax seeds!).

Not only is this chip packed with monounsaturated fat (4 g) and light on the saturated fat (1g), each serving offers 3 grams of fiber--details I know that you non-nutrition people probably were dying to know!

They make a delightful foundation for nachos and nicely accompany chili or soup. They even work well as a cracker replacement when you want something crunchy to go along side your afternoon snack of apples and cheese but are all out of crackers!

Many of the major grocery stores and food marts have them (bless me... even Starbucks carries some of their products!). Go HERE to find out a location near you that carries theses ymmies. Enjoy!

Seasonal Science...Fudge!

Tis the Season for goodies, sweets and holiday treats!  Along with sugar cookies and caramel corn, fudge is one the the traditional yummies that are commonly made around Christmas and New Years. 

If you need inspiration to get one last batch made or if you are simply curious about how it is made, check out this video that explains the science behind the fudge!  We actually watched this in our Experiemental Food Science class last year! Way cool!

Super Links

It almost pains me to have my first post after a 3 month hiatus be a simple blog link, but this link is just too fascinating not to share as soon as I found it! The blog is called Tip Junkie. Ultimately this blog is a go-to resource for all things homey and creative! In many ways it is a compilation of many people’s ideas. Some are links to other people's blog post while others are items that readers submit. This site contains everything from recipes to organizational methods to decorations and crafts.


Some of you Christmas Crafties might want to know about it in time to print some super cute and simple labels out for your packages. To find such items I suggest you utilize the search box by typing in "free pintables" and "gift tags" or “labels” Check it out... there is something for everyone!
