I love my birthday. Is that too narcissistic to admit? I really do.
My birthday is on December 18, and I actually started Fooduzzi on my birthday last year. Because of my birthday’s proximity to Christmas, I’m lucky enough to have an “Alexa’s Birthday Week” of sorts. I always get to see all of my family and friends. I get to partake in the delicious Christmas foods all week. It’s a glorious seven days.Read More
It’s interesting to look back upon the things I distinctly remember from my childhood.
Don’t get me wrong, I was a lucky kid. I always had food, toys, a bed, a roof over my head, and more; however, when I look back at my most vivid memories, I can only recall the really obscure, totally bizarre, or downright weird.
Allow me to explain.Read More
There are two types of people in this world: those who prefer a larger jelly-to-PB ratio on their PB&Js and those who prefer a larger PB-to-jelly ratio on their PB&Js.
Which side are you on? Are you a fan of the sweet fruit gel? Or is the rich and creamy nut spread more your game?
I love giving gifts. That fuzzy feeling you get when someone opens a gift you have thoughtfully picked and then truly loves it? Nothing compares. I am addicted to that feeling.
Gift giving, however, is not my forte. While I like to believe that I’m generally a nice person who is considerate of peoples’ likes and passions, I can honestly say that I almost always come up short on the gift giving front. Nothing ever seems good enough of creative enough. The struggle is real.Read More
I’m going to be real with you for just a second. I love Trader Joe’s.
I mean, yes, I enjoy grocery shopping in general; however, there is no store I adore going to more than TJs. The atmosphere. The products. The employees. My inner foodie loves it all.Read More
I think it’s safe to assume that part of the difficulty of choosing whole foods is convenience.
Just walking to class, I pass a ton of cafes offering sugary caramel macchiatos, bigger-than-my-head-sized muffins, and cookies loaded with chocolate and candy. It would be convenient to grab one of these items to happily chug or munch on during class. And honestly, that was my routine freshman year.Read More
Lately, all of my nights have been going something like this:
Ever had nights like these? Being so busy you sort of forget about that whole eating, necessity to life, thing? Yes, tis been my life for about a month now. Super fun.Read More
There was no greater love than the love between child Alexa and a Reese’s Cup. There was something so utterly addictive about that magical peanut butter-chocolate combination that totally sent me into a tizzy. To say I was a fan is a morbid understatement.
Once I was introduced to the Easter-themed Reese’s Eggs, a new light was shined upon my life. Why do these oblong nuggets taste so superior to their rounded cousins? To this day, I cannot answer this conundrum. All I know is that when those Eggs hit the grocery store shelves, I was there, first in line, with eager hands wide open.Read More
