I feel like this has been a long while coming. Coloring Easter eggs was one of the few holiday activities I was ever able to participate in as a kid and painting wooden eggs just didn't feel real enough. (Sort of like the laughing plastic pumpkin I grew up with).
So ...

Before I begin babbling about my love of eggplant, I want to congratulate Emmie and Chris! They will both be receiving their own set of Clearly Fresh Produce Storage Bags!

You know those late night infomercials...I mean the really late night ones. The ones where an entire channel is dedicated to infomercials for 6 hours and each infomercial is like a half hour long.

If you're anything like me, even the thought of changing something you're comfortable with sends you running onto the driveway to salvage pillows off the couch your parents just decided to donate.

I love frozen desserts. Well, more specifically, I love frozen yogurt. Why frozen yogurt and not ice cream? It's not just the calorie content or probiotics (whatever those are). It's more about the strange taste in my mouth and "eh" feeling in my belly that follows a spoonful of regular ...
