Kitchen: Food Chatter


virgin olive oil

You definitely have your olive oil stored in a glass bottle, but is it clear or opaque?

And to maintain a healthy diet use Virgin olive oil. It is the best oil when cooking or making vinaigrettes for salads.

When trying to buy fresh fish, you have to make sure it is truly fresh! And it is tricky business!

Always look for fish with:

- clear, bright bulging eyes
- shiny, taut, bright skin
- dark red gills that are not slippery

As kids we used to love the after school snack, or the yummy snack in front of the TV, right? Well, as adults nothing has changed!
Personally, I LOVE and Adore and Worship snacks … YUMMY! When I think of Ritz Crackers, Oreo Cookies or Wholegrain Chips Ahoy, I remember the old days at school and playing with my friends and filling my tummy with mouthwatering snacks and then not being able to have lunch with my family! My mom would go crazy!
Oh! I just remembered another one of my favorite things to crunch on, Cheddar Cheese Twists Chips! Oh My God!

So, what is your favorite snack?
