Foodness Gracious - Week 22

In partnership with

Recipes

Life is hard. We have so many responsibilities between work and activities and the stresses that take over our every thought.

When is the last time you put yourself first? I’m not talking about a few minutes of silence to read a book. I’m talking really putting yourself and your taste buds first.

Well, nothing says putting yourself first like Fresh Grilled Lobster Burritos.

Is this indulgent? Absolutely.

Is this something you will put on your weekly eating routine? Unlikely.

But there are moments in life where we need to treat ourselves to something special. Maybe you’re a mother and you want your family to treat YOU for Mother’s Day.

Nothing says treat yourself like lobster!

While you’re in the mode of treating yourself, toss out those old mixing bowls and grab some beautiful new bowls for your family to make you dinner.

Reviews

While we’re on the topic of treating yourself…perhaps it’s time to let the appliances do the work for you when dessert is next on your agenda.

I had never owned a stand mixer, but I had seen them on Food Network hundreds of times. All the baking shows have them and they looked a bit like they were from outer space.

But the joy of not having to spin the bowl and use that hand mixer was a joy I would like to repeat in my life daily!

Check out our stand mixer reviews to make sure you are educated about the pros and cons of different brands and models. This is a purchase that you will want to be sure is right for you, and I promise you will not regret it.

Responsibility

Thank you to everyone who provided their feedback on our question last week about meal planning.

As we continue down our discovery path to decide if this is something we feel our Foodness Followers truly want and need in their lives, it is great to have honest feedback about what you desire most in a meal planner.

Top votes were focused on ease of use/simplicity, variety of recipes and your ability to add your own recipes.

Stay tuned for more great responsibility topics as we look to bring more educational materials that will make you an even better home chef for yourself, your family and your community.

Foodness Fun - Poll

Let’s dive into the world of chocolate!

Milk chocolate seemed to hold the crown as the best chocolate because it was everywhere - candy, cookies, pancakes. You name it, milk chocolate was there.

Then, dark chocolate started making a huge charge because it not only helped curb everyone’s sweet tooth, but also provided some health benefits.

I ask you, Foodness Followers, which chocolate takes the crown for you?

If you learned anything today…remember to…
