10 New Foods for a Healthier New Year

by xoJohn

Now that the holidays are over and we are in a brand new year, 2018, many of us are proclaiming 2018 as the year to get healthy.  Plans will be made, gym memberships purchased and diets researched. While some of us will be focused and motivated many will abandon our attempts at healthfulness by February. Some will be too busy to get to hit the gym and others will be bored with “diet” food. While we certainly aren’t gym rats, we are most likely to get bored with limited dining options. As lifelong foodies, the thought of a restricted meal plan is far more terrifying than the dreaded muffin top or double chin. While we always have and always will advocate body positivity and self-love no matter your shape, we also think a healthier diet is a good idea for all of us.  Living a healthy lifestyle isn’t all about losing weight the right diet will keep you energized, focused and balanced. To help us on our way to healthier living we’ve adopted a few products that are tasty enough to satisfy our palates, full of vital nutrients and healthy enough to be good for us too.

by Desha Winborne

Summer has ended and winter is approaching. Beach season is over but the excitement of binge-watching is about to begin. Whether you’re catching up on all you missed this summer or getting into something new, chances are you’ll spend some time streaming entertainment to beat the cold weather blues. While you’re watching you may also be snacking. With snacking comes great responsibility we often just shovel sweet and savory things into our face without thinking. This and the hours of lounging in front of a screen can be disastrous to the body. Lucky for you we spent a few weeks compiling a list of health-conscious food items and how you can make a dish a little bit healthier. We sampled and resampled several old and new products and came up with some satisfying options for your taste buds.

For decades Pepperidge Farm has produced some of the country’s most loved cookies. In our younger days, discovering mom’s hidden stash of chocolate filled Milano’s was a favorite past time. Now that we can buy, and hide, our own cookies the tastemakers at Pepperidge Farm offer a wider selection of treats. Years ago they introduced the “Chunk” line of cookies, a selection of big flavorful cookies with an appetizing soft chewy bite.  In the last few years, they have experimented with new and exciting flavors like Key Lime and Caramel Apple Pie. While the “Chunk” cookies continue to be a favorite with fans, Pepperidge Farm continues to produce new options for the cookie aficionado. The latest addition to the brand is a thin crispy cookie with a homemade taste.

During the evening we mingled with every brand in the room, sampling quite a few tasty recipes and summer themed dishes.

Going Crazy For GRAZE

by xoJohn

We only heard about Graze a few weeks ago when we stopped by their NYC headquarters for a fun loft party. We were immediately smitten with their concept and original idea. So what is Graze? It’s a subscription service; Graze snack boxes are filled with nutritious (and delicious) treats. Each graze box is customized based on your taste and dietary preferences, which makes it very unique. Our personal favorites were the dried fruits and mini popcorn snacks.graze-variety-table
