Organic Modern Hippy

Posted on 22nd October 2008 in Organic

My goal is to make our lives as organic as possible. I try to cook with more organic food items. I’ve noticed and said before that organic foods tend to taste better. They have more flavor. Sometimes they taste completely differently than their inorganic counter parts.

I’m also trying to make our pets lives more organic. They are my babies and I want to give them the best and safest things. I’m searching for the perfect organic pet food. I have run into some challenges, such as “natural flavors”. There are no regulations for the word “natural”. As to what is in “natural flavors” it can be a bit of a mystery. Some of my research has taught me that it can include MSG! Which is man made and not “natural” by my standards. In about a week I’ll write a review for their new food describing their reactions and any changes that I’ve noticed in their behavior.

I’m also curious about organic fabrics. Though we have no children now I want to do plenty of research looking for safe chemical free children’s clothes.

Basically I’m an organic freak, an organic modern hippy.

Coconut Milk Ice Cream – “Coconut Bliss”… literally.

Posted on 21st July 2008 in Food, Reviews

I have an ice cream about which to rave! Luna and Larry’s Coconut Bliss. As of now I have tried only their Bare Coconut. It’s made out of coconut milk and agave juice. Being that I am lactose intolerant I am very excited. I have tried soy ice cream and rice ice cream. I’m not fond of either. I may go back to try the Rice Dream Ice Cream, because my taste has changed in the last few years. I might like it now. I’m not hopeful. I avoid soy because of some of the literature I have read about it. Avoiding it is just easier than worrying if estrogen-like chemical in it is going to mess with my already sensitive system.

At first I didn’t know what to think about it. I’m not a huge coconut fan. Honestly, I only eat it fresh or in a cookie on occasion. But after the first initial flavor/texture “shock”, I went back for more. It is very creamy. I like the slivers of real coconut in it. The coconut flavor is not overwhelming. And I don’t have that horrible craving for more. I love sweet things, but I hate how the mainstream sweets make me feel crazy. I want more, and more and feel addicted to it. This doesn’t happen with Coconut Bliss. I have a little bit and I’m done. It’s awesome!
They have an awesome little site. They list different flavors, explain about coconut milk and agave juice. They have a where to buy section and the other typical ones every site does, about us, contact us. Check it out and good eating!
