Megan of Not Martha just posted some fabulous April Fool’s food projects up on Ready Made.
Reading over these fantastic recipes for vanilla pudding dessert pot pie and mashed potato cupcakes makes me even more sad that this sacred holiday is on a Saturday. My poor co-workers will feel so left out!

Eco-Products sells an amazing array of food related containers that are biodegradable. From trash bags, deli containers, to coffee cups, to cutlery, to slurpee cups. These corn based plastics are compostable and will degrade in 45 – 60 days in outdoor conditions.

I’ve had a mixed bag of enjoyment with my blood oranges this season. My batch I bought specifically to have nice bloody red to contrast my golden beets ended up not being bloody!
I just bought another batch of blood oranges from my neighborhood grocery. I couldn’t resist as these ones are bloody on [...]
Sweets and I have been indulging our ice cream tendencies lately. From sharing containers of chocolatey Ben & Jerry’s, to sampling our local made vegan ice creams, our taste buds are happy.

It’s so easy and rewarding! The ricotta is almost sweet tasting on its own. I’ve made all my batches with whole milk, and am now going [...]
My neighborhood grocery store carries many socially responsibile/ambitious items. My latest find to realize I’m fondly attached to are Eco-bags, unbleached 100% natural cotton draw-string bags. In particular I have a couple of their Produce & Grain bags floating around the kitchen. These bags are great for storing vegetables, and for use in [...]
