Welcome to the second post of “We’re Not Perfect (and that’s OK!) Wednesdays” because come on, cooking every meal from scratch and eating like a healthy robot just isn’t reality!

Have Fun & Stay Healthy This Summer
The first official day of summer is June 21st! So soon! I love the long, light days of summer and the fun outdoor activities that come with them – taking evening strolls, tossing a football, meeting up for BBQs, reading in the park, and brunching outdoors to name a few. Granted, a lot of the…
A Balanced Plate (& A Cheesy Giveaway!)
When I want it decadent and gooey, I hit up San Francisco’s American Grilled Cheese Kitchen. When I feel like a little kid, I peel thin strings off a cheese stick and pretend I have a cheese beard. When I’m really hungry? Slices of comté. Bread knife. Kitchen counter. But, when I’m feeling fancy, I…
Pantry Staples (Are Some Sabotaging Your Diet?)

They also put out tons of cookbooks (around 80 since they started) and two magazines (Cook’s Illustrated and Cook’s Country). You can check out all the cool things they do here. Here are…
Berry Picking
I went out and picked blueberries and raspberries this afternoon at Charlotte Berry Farm down the road. Their blueberries had been pretty well picked over since it’s the end of the season, but I managed to get a few in my white bucket. My favorite part is not the picking, it’s the ping sound the…
Scenes from the Burlington Farmers Market
The Burlington, VT Farmers Market is full of delicious local food, and some of it is made for you on the spot. For example, FolkFoods has developed the veggie burger that puts all the other veggie burgers to shame. And they’ll throw it in an egg sandwich (they’re frying up the eggs in the photo…
