I'm such a foodie & a picky one at that! So these restaurants gotta be good to make it to this list!

I have always enjoyed being in the kitchen baking and making unique dishes. Over the last few years or so, my kids and I have looked more at what we put into our bodies and have tried to make healthier choices. We also like to make new creations in the healthiest ways. Here are a few things we like and recommend you give them a try!

My cooking has gone through quite the transformation from the early days when my roomates and I each knew how to make about 3 dishes, and we all had spaghetti as one of those three things. Here are the things that really moved the needle to become a much better cook through self study. This post may include affiliate links, if you make a person I may earn a commission.

Nothing beats food from back home, here is a list of my top places to eat in or near Lafayette, Louisiana.

My favorite restaurants/ coffee shops in saint Pete that I’ve gone back to many times :)

I am a huge iced latte fan so this list has all my recommendations of what i use at home to make delicious coffees that taste similar to what you pay an arm and leg for at the coffee shops!

I only source food from organic and grass-fed and finished privately or employee owned small business brands. If they are owned by corporations, they shouldn't be on this list (but it sure is hard to keep up as many sell out eventually). See “Where to Order” as most of the products and brands you'll find here are available from either Vitacost or iHerb online or Azure Standard or both. You can also buy them directly from the brand, but that only makes sense if you want them in bulk (due to minimum purchases required to get free shipping). Vitacost has free shipping for $50+ orders and a lot of promotions and discounts. Be sure to check their “Promo Pocket” tabs.NOTE: I only recommend brands and products owned by private or employee owned companies. But you can buy them through corporations which is sometimes the only local or online source if the brand doesn't retail their products online. And sadly, most brands price very high on their own sites because they don't want to compete with the retailers. For example, Chewy is publicly traded and 80% owned by private equity. Vitacost sold out to Kroger = corporate owned. The problem is they both are massive and have deals with shippers, so their prices are vastly lower than anywhere else.
