We all know we need more salad in our life’s but it’s usually the first thing we skip on the buffet line.  So we would like to take some time out of our busy lifes and focus a bit on the beauty one can find in a well prepared salad.  We would argue that if more salads looked like these then it would be more of an indulgence and less of a chore eating them.

Did you know all of the benefits you get from drinking (and eating) green tea?  Neither did we, so we did some research.  In chaQula fashion we first went in search of some inspiration.  We looked for some prime examples of how you can bring your green tea fix into your dinner tonight.

In addition to the delicious ingredient, the list of benefits of green tea is a long one.  We found that green tea is good for your skin, good for your blood flow, lowers cholesterol and it even helps your brain activity helping your memory (source WebMD).  Pretty remarkable what this wonder drink does.

State Fair Food and Fun

DSC_5465 DSC_5464 DSC_5462 DSC_5461

If you haven’t been to a state fair lately, we have to say you have been missing out.  Fortunately for you, we did just that.  We visited the local state fair and decided to bring back to you a report (and proof) of what we found.

The type of outrageous food one can find there will really leave you wondering what can’t be deep fried.  It is definitely the culinary experience.  Deep fried pickles, deep fried macaroni and cheese, deep fried watermelon, deep fried gummy bears… that’s right gummy bears.  This are just some of the things that find in a stone’s throw at your local state fair.  If you get tired of the deep fried goodies then you can experience a pancake burger or just good old fashion turkey leg.

Once you’re done with the main course you’ll have to leave some room for the roast beef sundae.  Now before you worry about what flavor of ice cream you want and if the hot fudge will go better than the caramel take a read through the what a roast beef sundae actually is.

Any other outrageous state fair food you’ve experienced?  Let us know

Is Nutella Healthy?

Asked no one ever!  Just take a look at these wonderful nutella recipes we’ve organized for you.  Nutella is an italian hazelnut chocolate spread which is manufactured by a company called Ferrero.  If you haven’t had nutella yet please run and find it at your local grocer, you can thank us later.  By the way, if Ferrero sounds familiar to you it should.  They are also responsible for the awesome little Ferrero Rocher goodness.

Tattoos and food go together like, umm, well, tattoos and food we guess.  In any case, we were inspired by some of these beautiful art pieces forever engraved into someones body.  Each one tells a story and would be great to find out more about whats behind each one of these.  It’s art and food and we love the statement they make.
