Lately I’ve become addicted to all things coconut. You might even say I’ve gone coco loco! I love putting unsweetened coconut flakes in my yogurt bowls and snack bites, and melted coconut butter on top of a sweet potato becomes the most decadent side dish. Ever since reading about how a flame retardant—brominated vegetable oil—is…
WIAW + Grocery Budget Adventures
If you recall the week before last’s WIAW, you’ll know we’re attempting to cut back on our grocery spending. Well, this weekend’s haul was a pricy one (though it did include dog food for Iggy, toilet paper, and several bottles of wine—none of which are weekly purchases), but we did make some reasonable choices I…
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bites
Growing up, I was a chocolate chip girl. Shortbread, the Plain Jane that it is, wasn’t even worthy of calling itself a cookie. Snickerdoodles, though a fun word to say, were missing pizzazz. Peanut butter cookies, with their back-of-fork indentations, were pretty stellar (I mean, peanut butter was basically the only sandwich topping I ate…
What I’ve Been Eating Lately {WIAW}
Far too often, I fall into a food rut. Meals haven’t been extremely exciting around here, and we always tend to eat the same things, week after week. Sometimes, though, eating similar meals week after week (or even day after day) is a welcome “problem.” For this week’s What I Ate Wednesday, I’m sharing some…
Rosie’s Grill Review
In an effort to try something new this past Saturday, we decided to give Rosie’s Grill in Daphne a go. We’ve passed by many times, and I’ve heard from a few friends that the food is good. For whatever reason (location, maybe, since it sits off the street in a strip mall), it always slipped…
Healthy Brownie Bites
Apart from my slow-cooker jambalaya, it’s been a while since I’ve posted a legitimate recipe. While these Healthy Brownie Bites are hardly complicated enough to fit that category, I have to share something with you all! Maybe it’s that high metabolism of mine, but having healthy snacks on hand is necessary for my—and my peers’—survival….
Slow Cooker Jambalaya
The sole redeeming factor of our long, sweltering, southern summers (well, besides fresh produce and beautiful beaches) is football season. Though I’m not loyal to a college team (I support the SEC in general—best conference in the country!), I do love my New Orleans Saints. Who dat?!!… Tonight, to “celebrate” our first pre-season game against…
Grocery Budgeting + WIAW
Happy Hump Day! It’s time for our favorite link-up party, What I Ate Wednesday, but before I get into that, let me just say that meals around these parts are not going to be the most exciting. With $3.69 bottles of kombucha, an unfortunate $17.00 cherry purchase, and my inability to say “no” to new…
National IPA Day + Blogiversary!
Although I actually created foodiEcology on July 28, 2012, I didn’t post my first entry until August 1st, so today is my unofficial 1-year blogiversary! I can’t believe I’ve been blogging this long. I feel like foodiEcology is still struggling to find its identity in the vast food/healthy living/lifestyle/fitness web-world, but I’m pretty proud of…
Clancy’s Restaurant Review
One of my favorite things about New Orleans is the abundance of small, sometimes-quirky, neighborhood restaurants. While some of the big-name tourist eateries measure up to the hype, the best food is usually found off the beaten path. Not too far from that path is Clancy’s. Situated Uptown on the corner of Annunciation and Webster…
