My husband and I went grocery shopping together last week and one of the stores that we went to was Whole Foods. They had several items on sale that I wanted to pick up, but I also wanted to find some new things to try for my What Is It Wednesday posts. I knew Whole Foods would be a great place to look for some […]

Last week’s What Is It Wednesday was exactly what many of you guessed it was. It was sugar pear, also known as a seckel pear. I was really surprised by how many of you knew exactly what it was. I am going to have to find some more unique items for my family to try, so that my What Is It Wednesdays are more difficult.

My husband though had never eaten these. He thought that they looked a bit strange when he saw them sitting on the counter. He had no clue what […]

Daikon radishes are also known […]

One of my goals for this year it to introduce my family to some new, and sometimes unusual, foods. I thought it would be fun to take you along on the adventure and share with you the new foods we are trying. I plan to post what they are, how we ate them, and if we liked them or not. Some weeks I might simple ask […]
