I’m guilty. There, I said it. Up until two years ago, I didn’t pay much attention to what I was eating. I didn’t look at labels, didn’t really buy into the whole “organic” thing, and never really researched what was “good” and “bad” for you. Then one day a switch went off and I did some Googling.
What’s “organic” anyway? Well, in short it’s foods that are produced naturally - sans pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, GMOS, synthetic or toxic substances. Wait. I’ve been eating this crap all these years? Beh yea… at some point in time I’m pretty sure I’ve had some fruit, vegetable, or meat that’s been tainted with some gross stuff I don’t want in my body.
Now, most of the stuff I buy is organic. I can sleep easier because I know it’s safer than the alternative. Milk, Chicken, veggies – you name it, all organic. Yes, it’s more expensive, but I’ll take the poor house over the graveyard any day.
Here are FIVE crappy foods I used to shkoff:
When dinner parties start feeling passé and your regular cocktails just aren’t doing it for you anymore, there’s only one way (or maybe there are many, but only one of them is the subject of this article!) to shake out of your party rut: throw a spiked fruit party! What’s that, you say? A spiked fruit party is a fantastic way to convince yourself you’re being healthy by ingesting large amounts of alcohol disguised in fruit. Bonus points if you use some anti-oxidant boosting berries to further legitimize your boozehound ways.
Web Exclusive: I'm Never Drinking Like That Again
Partied too hard last night? Hungover? Bitchin' Kitchen feels you. This song is all about those famous words: "I'm Never Drinking Like That Again". You get to see the official Bitchin' Kitchen video here... lucky you!
Whether your Tequila experience is limited to some fuzzy spring break misadventures or an evening spent sipping premium anejo reposado in an exclusive hacienda, there’s one thing about tequila you can’t deny: it’s a drink that’s got some serious bite. This #tuesdayboozeday, the BK Crew - minus Ange who is probably enjoying a cocktail right now on a sunny beach in Jamaica - tackles tequila.
Unless you’ve been to Mexico, or to a truly authentic Mexican restaurant, the only tequila you’ve tasted has probably answered to the name Jose or, worse, Bang Bang. It’s gone down like firewater and been chased by the unholy combination of salt, lime and seriously loosened inhibitions. Sure this may get you grinding up on the stage of CocoBongo for the entire MTV crew to see, but it’s not really the best way to enjoy tequila. Good tequila, like a good scotch, should be sipped... and it should be golden in color. Ela and I tasted some mid-price tequilas and found one each that we really dug. Here are the results:
Rosé is a great choice for a summer drink. A nice alternative to beer and sangria, it’s the perfect thing to sip in the sun on your patio... or curled up in front of your AC cursing the heavens for the never ending humidity. Your choice. Here at Bitchin’ Kitchen, the crew gals, take their #Tuesdayboozeday seriously. So seriously, in fact, that we taste tested a bunch of rosé wines to bring you the best of this booze for every budget.
