Not Weird. Different!


Posted the16/09/2009 By What's For Dinner? (Visit website)



Another fairy visited me today! The lovely Crofter’s Organics people sent me some of their SuperFruits Jam to sample, and I’m so excited! I’d won jars of this great jam in a giveaway by Eating Bird Food months ago, but I really didn’t get a chance to enjoy them. I’m fully intending on using each of these jams in oats over the next few days!

The fruits are really interesting, including wild blueberries, cranberries, morello cherries, maqui, passionfruit, raspberries, yumberries, black currants and pomegranate. Each spread hails from a different continent, and they are 100% organic. I’m SO excited!

In other news, I found this at the organic market while I was waiting for my tire to get fixed after yesterday’s incident:

It was the first time I’d seen them in my area, and of course I had to try one. The flavor was IDENTICAL to a PB&J sandwich, but the texture was a little dry… but not enough so to stop me from buying these again! The lady at the store said she’d even get me a case if I wanted.

While I ate my bar and waited for my car (hey, that rhymes!), I talked to the lovely VeggieGirl. I am lucky enough to have developed a real-life friendship with her, and we chatted about blogs, school, random car stuff, and of course food. She was telling me about her latest favorite, and in her words “Holy Yum Delicious” combination, and she suggested I try it.

What was this combo? It sounds odd at first… but upon thinking about it, made a lot of sense. Sweet potato and avocado. Weird, right? I hesitated to put the combo on my plate with my teriyaki tofu… but I did it:

It was a delicious ripe avocado, and a super-sweet garnet yam… so I went for it. I took a piece of the avocado and some of the sweet potato, and was absolutely amazed by how delicious the combination was! The creaminess of the avocado along with the sweetness of the potato went together like they were meant to be. I immediately texted VeggieGirl to tell her how amazing it was! I suggest you ALL try this combo ASAP. Seriously. I don’t rave about things easily, and this was quite possibly the most surprising and delicious thing I’ve tasted in a LONG time!

There’s a HUGE giveaway happening here tomorrow, so make sure you come back and check it out! Trust me, this is the biggest giveaway I’ve ever done (well, except foodie jewelry)!

Have a great Wednesday!
