Healthy and Tasty: The First USDA-Certified Organic Fast Food Restaurant in the United States

Finally, a lucky break for those of us who love to eat healthy and organic, but who are too lazy to fry our own chicken.

According to Fox News, the first fast food establishment to serve exclusively USDA-certified organic food opened  two weeks ago in San Francisco.

Blueberries are going to disappear soon so I wanted to get in one more summer dessert. Look at this beautiful Paleo Blueberry Lemon Bread.

I am a creature of habit and I live for rituals in life. This gives me consistency in my schedule that can be chaotic at times. Every Sunday morning I wake up, eat breakfast, and hit up my favorite Farmer’s Market in town. The first place I like to visit is the gluten-free bakery booth for Pao de Queijo (just a fancy way of saying Brazilian cheese bread.) My daughter will get one with plain and …

Yet, the trend is changing as fast food chains, fast casual restaurants and even multinationals are responding to pressure from consumers, especially from Millennial demanding food made without artificial ingredients.…
