Happy Valentines Day!

I hope I am over all deaths and sicknesses! Having a few weeks off has been difficult. Mostly cause I am not a sit around kind of person. But I guess my body needed the rest. Although I wish next time it would quietly let me know instead of throwing me into the hospital. After such a long rest I am ready to get back to the kitchen. Thank you everyone for you kind thoughts, prayers and beautiful flowers. It helped with a speedy recovery

Since there has been such a long break I don't think I fully caught you up on my finds at the Food Show in San Francisco. The things I loved where as follows:
Organic Relaxation Drinks (this is supposed to replace the energy drinks)
Coconut Water
Bamboo disposable tableware (this gives the table scape an expensive and unique look)
Organic Vanilla Bean Paste (who wants to scrape all those little tiny seeds out of a vanilla bean?)
Lots of organic and healthy snacks (great with sandwiches). Loved the root chips.
Black Garlic (super sweet and so many possibilities)

I hope to be using some of these products in the upcoming Market season.
