Future Foodies Of America


The new FFA.

One of the best things about my cousins is their adventurous spirits.  While many other children won’t touch a stalk of broccoli with a ten-foot pole, these cute kids jump at every chance to try something unusual.

Something like… Raw Macaroons

Or Banana Hammocks

The boys enjoyed the banana hammocks even more after they learned what a banana hammock actually is. Then they kept running around the house yelling “banana hammock!!”

Boys are easily amused.

And then there was All-Fruit Ice Cream

But the foodie adventures didn’t stop there: After they informed me that they love Whole Foods, we just had to make a trip to the grand opening of the chain’s newest store.

Who needs Toys-R-Us?  A few hours spent at Whole Foods = perfection.

    I would love to make those macaroons. But I don’t have any coconut butter. Would oil work?

    i love wandering around whole foods and grocery stores. my mom humors me when i go with her but to her, grocery shopping is just an errand that she has to get done and with her busy work schedule she tries to do it quickly.

    that’s awesome how your cousins are so willing to try new things and healthy eats! i loveit!

    Ahaha kids are so cute. I don’t know why people say kids don’t like veggies…most kids I know are down to try anything.

    I could spend hours wandering around markets – favorite thing to do at home, favorite thing to do when I travel. I also spend hours and hours reading cookbooks – I used to read literature for fun but now I read cookbooks to help stimulate creativity. And of course, photographing food. I don’t do it in front of people, usually, because everyone would think I’m nuts.

    I’m the same way! I could forever grocery shopping – I love it!

    My boyfriend drove us both 1.5 hours out of town just so that I could experience a Whole Foods. He patiently stayed with me while I grocery shopped for 1.5hours and then he treated me to lunch in their little resto area.
    It wasn’t even a big Whole Foods. The neighborhood walmart of Whole Foods if you will.

    I totally understand where you’re coming from.
