Congratulations to the Stanley Cup Champions, the Chicago Blackhawks. While I’m a little disappointed that I’ll be missing the awesome parade that will take place downtown tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. I’m happy that I’ll get the chance to congratulate this fabulous team whose players worked so hard, one of which lost seven teeth! Again, you might be puzzled over the connection to food, but it’s there alright. There was a little wager going on between Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and Philadelpha Mayor Michael A. Nutter.

I’ve never eaten any type of organic food, dish or meal. My mom never bought any organic food for the family when I was a kid, and it’s still too expensive for me to purchase now. I always thought that I was missing out on some nutrition-related health benefits. A new study concluded it might be OK that I’ve been on an organic-free diet my entire life.
According to an article on Reuters, there isn’t any evidence that organic foods benefit your health! That’s great news for me, and not so great news for individuals who have been breaking the bank by buying expensive organic foods believing that they’re in for some miracle health advantages.

Now that green is mainstream, it seems like everyone is jumping on the eco-friendly bandwagon. Don’t get me wrong, that’s not a bad thing. I’m thrilled that people are starting to realize how important it is to be environmentally friendly.
When people thinking about the phrase “going green,” the first thing that may come to mind is having to purchase new light bulbs or recycling paper products. But eating greener is another great way to help the environment! For example, you can throw a green party: Go Green with an Eco-Friendly Party! Or you can literally purchase eco-friendly appliances!

Those lyrics are from the rapper Young Jeezy, and while I don’t think I have a lot in common with him, we both seem to have a fondness for that wonderful green dip know as guacamole!
Now that Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, I’m preparing for some serious margaritas, ridiculously tasty guacamole and my all-time favorite, quesadillas! Maybe I’ll throw my own Cinco De Mayo party.

I live in Chicago, and one of the more interesting local news stories of the last few weeks has been the planned overhaul of Chicago Public School cafeteria food. How many parents out there hand their children money each week so that they can purchase a school lunch? Do you know what they are purchasing or even the options available to them? The problem is that we assume that children are taken care of in schools. But this isn’t always the case. Read the rest of this entry »
