I have turned into some sort of ridiculous food hipster. Well, only a little bit? Maybe?


  • Because I am a lazy cook AND I am kinda-sorta following a ketogenic diet, I am perfectly willing to keep my freezer stocked with bags of pre-made cauliflower "rice". Tonight it meant I could make a faux mac 'n cheese. The cauliflower rice made a good binder/vehicle for ALL THE CHEESE (and bacon).

  • Speaking of cheese, I Have Opinions about what brand of the puffed cheese bites are the best. (They're ... baked puffs of cheese. That's it. Om nom nom.) For the record, Trader Joe's makes the best ones.

  • Did you know that there are organic, non-gmo pork rinds and pork cracklings? I bet you didn't. Not gonna lie tho', they're delicious. And fill that need salty crunchy snack NOW craving that I still get.

  • But you want really ridiculous food hipster? There's a store in PDX I may have mentioned before: The Meadow. They sell cocktail bitters, fancy chocolate, and fancy salt. That's it. I just mail-ordered cocoa nib and vanilla sea salts. (To be fair, it's one of my favorite stores in PDX, and I try to go there when I'm in town. But still. I just mail-ordered fancy salt.)



... and that's not even getting into how our household only buys coffee from a local artisan coffee roaster and uses a cult favorite coffee press every day.

Life's too short to not eat the good food.

... wait, the Cauliflower rice can be frozen? You may have made a huge difference in my life!

(Although I admit that there's very little room in the freezer between the nuts, the homemade chicken broth, and the frozen baked goods...)

Trader Joe's baked cheese puffs are not fooling around, and they're gluten-free!

Hi! I've missed interacting with you, too. This time I swear I will keep at it with the journaling. It might be awkward for a while. Thank you for bearing with me.
