An amazing place to get food cooked from local venders and that tastes amazing is at a restaurant called Harvest (624 E. Market St). The food there is incredible, fresh, and smells wonderful. The atmosphere is just as amazing; I think it is a great place to go out with the loved ones or a night with friends. Although, I took my daughter with me for dinner but really wasn’t impressed with the kids menu.
It is hard to believe that we are already halfway into November. Autumn couldn’t come fast enough, and now it seems as if it is zipping by. Thanksgiving fast approaches.
Thanksgiving is a magical time: a day when family and friends gather to give thanks by stuffing their faces full of poultry, carbs, and sugar. Nationwide, it is THE culinary event of the year, and so it is important to do it right. Plans are made weeks in advance, and several days prior are often spent shopping, prepping, and cooking for the feast.
In this day and age, it is more important than ever to know where your food comes from. Countless documentaries in recent years have revealed horrifying truths about mass-produced food, and trying to read a food package’s list of ingredients is like trying to decipher a foreign language. Luckily, public awareness has made it easier to obtain food the smart way, partly due to events like the Incredible Food Show. Now in its third year, this annual event takes place Saturday Rupp Arena and the Lexington Center.
The Slow Food movement is all about trying to preserve food traditions from the days before a family meal meant something from the microwave or McDonalds.
I took a nutrition class earlier this summer, and surprise, surprise, my diet is low in fruits and vegetables. I'm not going to start picking up pieces of fruit and snacking on them any time, but I did gain a new respect for the fruit smoothie when I visited Turtle Blossom Inspired Foods and Juice Bar this afternoon.
