I have a thing for all things mini.

Mini Coopers. Mini kittens. Mini fruit. Mini jewelry. But my ultimate weakness is mini utensils.

I love my birthday. Is that too narcissistic to admit? I really do.

My birthday is on December 18, and I actually started Fooduzzi on my birthday last year. Because of my birthday’s proximity to Christmas, I’m lucky enough to have an “Alexa’s Birthday Week” of sorts. I always get to see all of my family and friends. I get to partake in the delicious Christmas foods all week. It’s a glorious seven days.

Allow me tell you a story.

One day, Pittsburgh was experiencing some uncharacteristically hot weather. Alexa, out of the goodness of her own heart, decided to make and shoot a smoothie recipe so that her best friend, Mark, could drink it and get all energized and such.

It’s interesting to look back upon the things I distinctly remember from my childhood.

Don’t get me wrong, I was a lucky kid. I always had food, toys, a bed, a roof over my head, and more; however, when I look back at my most vivid memories, I can only recall the really obscure, totally bizarre, or downright weird.

Allow me to explain.

PB&J Thumbprints

There are two types of people in this world: those who prefer a larger jelly-to-PB ratio on their PB&Js and those who prefer a larger PB-to-jelly ratio on their PB&Js.

Which side are you on? Are you a fan of the sweet fruit gel? Or is the rich and creamy nut spread more your game?

I love giving gifts. That fuzzy feeling you get when someone opens a gift you have thoughtfully picked and then truly loves it? Nothing compares. I am addicted to that feeling.

Gift giving, however, is not my forte. While I like to believe that I’m generally a nice person who is considerate of peoples’ likes and passions, I can honestly say that I almost always come up short on the gift giving front. Nothing ever seems good enough of creative enough. The struggle is real.

Summer. It’s so soon, you guys!!

We broke into the 80-degree weather this week. It was one of the most perfect Pittsburgh days I have ever experienced; warm, but not humid. Is that even possible in Pittsburgh?! It. Was. Perfect.

I think it’s safe to assume that part of the difficulty of choosing whole foods is convenience.

Just walking to class, I pass a ton of cafes offering sugary caramel macchiatos, bigger-than-my-head-sized muffins, and cookies loaded with chocolate and candy. It would be convenient to grab one of these items to happily chug or munch on during class. And honestly, that was my routine freshman year.
