A Fresh Food Movement On Wheels In Boston

Food trucks are all over the Washington D.C. area where I live and delectable, healthy food choices abound both indoors and out. But in Roxbury, a section of Boston, not so much. Thirty percent of the population there, which is mostly black and Hispanic, live below the poverty line and many choose either the low nutrition fast food options available or travel to other neighborhoods to buy food.

That's beginning to change. Cassandria Campbell and her friend Jackson Renshaw have created Fresh Food Generation, a Kickstarter campaign, to bring healty, affordable food options to Roxbury and beyond.

Check out the video below and click HERE for the Grist article I sourced this from to learn more.

Placemats With Engineering Blueprints For Different Foods

Just in time for Christmas! If you'd like to encourage your child's engineering and culinary skills at the same time, the website Awkward Engineer is offering a series of placemats that feature blueprints for making various easy-to-fix foods.

Included are: peanut butter and jelly sandwich, banana split, ants-on-a-log and s'more. If you lead a busy life, now you can just spread out the ingredients and the placemat in front of your child and they can do the rest.

Only $19.50 for a set of four, but I'm holding out for a set that include crêpes and chicken cordon blue.
