Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? Or in this instance Mayonnaise. While our title may stretch the truth a little bit since traditional Mayo is probably one of the most artery clogging condiments out there, Vegenaise does just the opposite! Made with heart healthy Canola oil, filtered water, apple cider vinegar, brown rice syrup, soy protein, sea salt, lemon juice, and mustard. This stuff is downright good for you, Vegenaise is Vegan, All Natural, Gluten Free, Kosher (parve) and the best part is it taste great! I am a big (literally) Mayonnaise fan “Hellman’s man myself” but from this point on I am going Vegenaise! For the entire line of Vegenaise products visit [Follow your Heart]
In Southern California we are sometimes known as the land of “fruits and nuts” well now we may have to change to “fruits, nuts & berries” everyone in my granola loving neck of the woods are going crazy over the uber healthy superfood Açaí [ah-sigh-ee]. These little purple berries taste like a cross between a tangy blueberry with a hint of chocolate and are imported from the Amazon Rainforest. Dr Nicholas Perricone while on the Opera show declared Açaí #1 on his top 10 superfood list.
Açaí is full of antioxidants and actually contains more than ten to thirty times the antioxidant power of red wine. They are also high in heart healthy Omega-3 Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids. They are high in fiber, calcium Vitamin E and are a great source of Amino Acids, and may also be a cure for world peace. Well that last part may be slightly exaggerated but who knows it has everything else going for it! [Via eatdrinkbetter.com}

Returning from a “business trip” to Las Vegas my wife brought back a jar of Sale Alla Diavola manufactured by A.G. Ferrari Foods. Initially my thoughts were she gets a Vegas “business trip” and I get a jar of salt. Not such a good deal.
But after my first taste of this unique seasoning salt, I just may have to eat my words, literally! This seasoning has such a unique intense flavor I have been putting it on everything I can think of. It is sensational on steamed vegetables and I have been using it on my scrambled eggs almost every morning.
I recommend using half the suggested quantity printed on the label. The flavor is super condensed and I found it very easy to over salt. The label says “Devilishly Spicy Seasoning Salt” and it does list pepper flakes as an ingredient but I did not detect any heat whatsoever.
I am probably a bad judge about such things since my personal heat preferences lie somewhere around the nuclear range. The rest of ingredients are: Italian sea salt, rosemary, sugar, fresh garlic, lemon peel and hot pepper flakes. You can really smell the rosemary and lemon peel. I think this seasoning salt would be fantastic on baked chicken or even grilled salmon.[Visit A.G. Ferrari Foods]
