Food Finds

Yea! It's clementine season! If you've never had the pleasure of eating one of these cute little citrus fruits, you've got to try them. (Brooke can attest to there delicious qualities. We used to split crates when we lived together.) They have a unique flavor. They're a little more tart than an orange, but not bitter like grapefruit and have a gentle sweetness. They should be in the produce section of your grocery store for the next couple of months. They usually come in a crate (see above) or in a mesh bag. They are a little pricey ($6 to $8 a crate, but you usually get about 30 pieces of fruit), but this is most likely due to the fact that they are imported from Spain and North Africa. They are also easy to peel. I've been eating 2 or 3 a day!


Another fun discovery that Blue and I made a few weeks ago at Kroger is the natural peanut butters produce by a company out of New York City, specifically Greenwich Village. They started as a sandwich shop, and have grown to sell their homemade peanut butters throughout the country. Their products are all natural with no refined sugars or trans fats. They have some pretty tasty flavor combos too. The one pictured above is my favorite. It tastes like dessert. They have other flavors like Dark Chocolate Dreams (which I've also tried...it's good, but the white chocolate is better) and Cinnamon Raisin Swirl. Obviously, it's located in the peanut butter/jam isle and a jar will cost you about $4. It's high, but in this case your paying for quality, not advertisement. Give it a try and for more info, see their website.
