What do you look for in the perfect snack? Filling, tasty, crunchy, healthy, versatile? almonds hit all those markers beautifully. And yes, almonds. There are a few reasons to eat almonds over conventional almonds, given the chemicals that may be used on non- almonds.

Three of Our Favorite Fair Trade Chocolate Companies

It may sound like an overstatement, but I assure you it’s not: Becoming a CSA member has changed my eating habits, and in turn, my life. I’m making healthier, more knowledgeable decisions about the food I put in my body and being culinarily inspired along the way. [Read more…]
