Udi Woah! Biltong at the coop?? I'm gonna try it tonight.

Udi I tried it just now, quite good actually! As a South African, being able to buy Biltong around the corner is HUGE. Thanks for the heads up @brittanymbarton
Kale stems are just as delicious as the leaves! Sauté or steam them. #nofoodwaste

DietID_TeamDietitians Veggie-focused brunch / breakfast places that do it right: Westville (if you're doing late breakfast) and Jack's Wife Freda has a shakshouka and a mediterranean breakfast on the menu.

sugardetoxme Welcome to the community @brittanymbarton !! I had a Pepino Melon for the first time about a week ago. It's like a a cross between a cucumber and melon. A little on the pricey side but great!
-
DietID_TeamDietitians @mrscorco this is like your challenge! I love pomelo. This isn't a totally new food but a new combo - I tried pumpkin yogurt today and it tasted like pie... But not a ton of sugar. Highly recommend it
