Introducing Baby Kiwi!
Last year I was at my local Trader Joe's when I noticed containers of something called "kiwi grapes." I'd never heard of such a thing, so naturally I picked them up.

Happy Hour: Kiwi Cobbler
Last week at the market, I spotted some New Zealand kiwis for a good price. I know they're not local and organic, but they simply looked too plump and verdant to pass up, so I bought a ton. And, when life handed me a bunch of kiwis, what did I do?
Yummy Link: Kiwi Sorbet

A cool and refreshing cocktail comes to mind whenever I hear the words Memorial Day, and this delicious kiwi lime drink is perfect for all types of Memorial Day barbecues.

I've found kiwi brooches, scented lollipop earrings, mushroom rings, nigiri earrings (mix and match even!) and for him: olive cufflinks. Know of any great food-inspired jewelry starting with K, L, M, N, or O?
Another Reason To Eat Organic: Vitamin C
The belief that pesticides do not have an effect on nutrients in foods, is being seriously challenged. Recent news from an EU funded project has found that organic fruits contained more Vitamin C than their non-organic counterparts. Specifically researchers found that organic carrots, apples and peaches contained higher levels of vitamin C and flavonoids, an antioxidant.Product Review: Arcona Kiwi Clarifying Peel
A few weeks ago I talked to you about the Los Angeles based skin care brand Arcona. I've now had the opportunity to spend some time with the products and really get a feeling for how they affect my skin. One item that I've found noteworthy is the Kiwi Clarifying Peel ($85).

If you're one of those people that thinks that eating fiber is just about keeping regular, I've got some health news for you. Eating the recommended amount of fiber daily (25 to 30 grams) doesn't just improve your digestion. Getting your fill of fiber can also reduce your risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, help lower your cholesterol, prevent heart disease, and flatten your belly.
