They say you learn something new every day. It’s true.
You just don’t want to have to learn something the hard way.
Take, for example, the last six days, where I have had a bitter, unpleasant taste in my mouth. Literally, not figuratively. It rears its ugly head any time I eat or drink anything. My first thought? Great, instant diet.
Not so much.
It’s pretty gross, and I thought I’d do some research.
Now, let me first state that I’m not a doctor or medical professional of any kind.
I’m more like a professional Googler.
Google “bitter taste in mouth”, and you get all kinds of results. Issues with your mouth can be a symptom of a bigger, more serious health problem. You know, so when you search for such things online, it can cause temporary panic and a mini freak out session.
Luckily for me, the cause of my unpleasant mouth taste is a less deadly, however annoying source.
Pine nuts.

I was thrilled to be asked to participate in the Social Media Club of Tacoma’s latest event at Bluebeard Coffee, which was all about food blogging.
Joining me on the panel was Dawn Quinn of Vegan Moxie, Marisa Mezs of Clearance Cuisine and Roxanne Cooke of RoxanneCooke.com.

I had the chance to film a segment called “Cheap Eats Tacoma” with Saint Bryan on our local nightly news magazine, Evening Magazine.
It was so much fun to be a part of, and I’m thankful for the opportunity.
Saint and I went to some of my favorite local eateries.

I’ve got two bits of exciting news!
That’s my excited face.
I’m branching out.
For the last three years, writing A Big Mouthful has been an incredible way to express my love of food and cooking.
Wonderfully, it has led to some new and exciting opportunities that I’m thrilled to be able to explore.

This week, I was thrilled to be featured as Terra Organics‘ first Member Spotlight.
Terra Organics is the home produce delivery service in my area that I get 95 percent of my organic fruits, vegetables and eggs from.
Produce delivery is one of my godsends for time saving. During the work week, I don’t even have to think about picking up fresh produce, because it’s delivered to my door each week. It also actually saves me money, since I’m not spending money on impulse buys from copious trips to the grocery store. We are able to eat healthier, eat local, and eat organic with virtually no effort. It’s a fabulous service that I am so thankful for.
