Introducing Davidson's Safest Choice™ Pasteurized Eggs

Hello Foodie Friends,

Today, I would like to introduce you to Davidson's Safest Choice™ Pasteurized Eggs. How would you like to eat your favorite egg dishes without having to worry about the risk of contracting Salmonella or other viruses and bacteria? Well now you can! Thanks to a patented, all-natural egg pasteurization process these risks are completely eliminated. Using only warm water and a unique combination of time and temperature, farm fresh eggs are heated to the exact temperature needed to destroy all bacteria without cooking the egg or changing its taste. Because the surface of each egg has thousands of tiny pores, a thin layer of food-grade wax coats the eggs once they are pasteurized, preventing cross contamination and extending its shelf life to over two months. Whoa! That sure is a long time...although they wouldn't last that long in my house, lol! 

Safest Choice™ eggs have received the ACF Seal of Approval for culinary performance from the American Culinary Federation, Inc., the nation's premier organization for professional chefs and cooks. So with all these accolades, you might be wondering by now, how do they taste?!? Well, to be honest, the first time I tried them in a frittata and really couldn't detect any distinct difference. (Although just knowing that these eggs were free from bacteria risks offered peace of mind, making it worthwhile for that fact alone, in my book). I decided to hard boil them to use to make deviled eggs. I have to tell you that I did notice that they peeled really easy and the taste of my lemongrass infused deviled eggs were outstanding. Not bad for my first attempt at making deviled eggs. I combined lemongrass paste with mayo and mixed with the egg yolks along with diced tomatoes and shallots and added a pinch of truffle salt. Delish!



Davidson's Safest Choice™ eggs are rich in nutrients, protein and heart-healthy fats, with only 70 calories each and are available in both All Natural ad Cage Free varieties at grocery stores nationwide. I found mine in my local Publix. For more info and egg recipes, please visit SafeEggs.com.

Until we eat again...
  I send you delicious wishes, xo

Introducing Dolcedi, The First Sweetener Made From Organic Apples

Hello Foodie Friends,

Today, I am happy to introduce you to Dolcedi (pronounced dol-che-dee), a new all natural, low-glycemic alternative to sugar made from 100% organic apples and with 25% fewer calories than table sugar and 0% shortage on taste! Rigoni di Asiago, a family-owned & operated company based in Northern Italy (90 miles north of Venice), makes Dolcedi from the concentrated and filtered sugar extracted from organic apples. It is certified USDA organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan and STAR-KOSHER. So, how does it taste, you might want to know?!? I decided to try it as a substitute for honey in a kale salad recipe that calls for 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup honey, the juice of one lemon and a pinch of kosher salt. I loved the fact that the Dolcedi didn't have the stickiness of honey and provided just the right amount of sweetness. I actually prefer the Dolcedi to honey and will use this from now on when making this salad. It's also great in tea or anything you would normally use sugar or sweetener on. Dolcedi is available in stores nationwide in a 12.34 ounce squeezable bottle with a dripless cap. For more info, you can visit their website.
