Foodie Snapshot on The Urban Grocer

The Urban Grocer | Cutting-edge food discoveries from around the world.We are so unbelievably stoked be to featured on The Urban Grocer’s Foodie Snapshot.  Our girl Caitlin, who is the founder and editor of the site, travels all around the world chowing down on the best food she can find and dutifully reports back about her amazing food-ventures.

This site seriously gives us the travel bug and makes us feel safe and secure in knowing we’ll have in the inside scoop on the best eats in town…no matter where the world we end up!

You have to check out her site!  And bookmark that baby, it’s about go through some major renovations so it’s gonna be even bigger and better in a couple short months.

Ok, without further adieu…here is the {Health} Cooking Camp Foodie Snapshot:

“Wellness and health isn’t something we cover very often on The Urban Grocer. But when it comes in the form of a forward-thinking project, aimed at inspiring a global community, we’re all ears. This is where Robyn and Quinn step-in. The creative minds behind {Healthy} Cooking Camp – an online interactive cooking program – Robyn and Quinn take urbanites from totally confused to connoisseur when it comes to creating meals that truly nourish. So we caught-up with these up-and-coming leading ladies of healthy eating to see just what their noshing on at 3am…

(1) We’ll eat anything but: Puppies.

(2) The best city for eating is: NYC, for sure. Brooklyn bolsters that vote.

(3) Because we can never have too much: Kale. All day, every day, any way you make it. Kale.

(4) Our favorite farmers’ market is: Myanmar, Burma. Hard to make it there every week, so as a default we’ll say Santa Monica. Ugh, they have produce that makes the heart sing. Meyer lemons and avocados for 25 cents each? Umm, yes please!!!

(5) Our last meal would be: Whole roasted fish with lemon, rosemary and garlic + perfectly roasted potatoes. Then every single thing at Momofuku milk bar.

(6) Most exciting chef right now: We’ve got nothing by love for Dan Barber. That man is a genius who stands for the quality of the ingredients. He’s doing incredible, innovative things with food and the sustainable agriculture movement on a whole.

(7) If we weren’t in food, we’d be:
Quinn: Gallivanting around around the world, working on different organic farms.
Robyn: On an ashram in India meditating in full lotus for 10 hours straight.

(8) Street food is unbeatable in: Bali! The open air market cuisine is to die for.

(9) At 3am, you’ll find us noshing on: We’re health coaches, which means we’re usually in bed by 11. BUT if we were out having fun, and say, getting our dance on (which actually happens quite often), we’ve been known to come home and make a big, bad batch of oven baked french “fries” with a homemade dipping sauce (mayo, BBQ sauce… you name it!). Hey! It happens.

(10) Our current food obsession are: 
Quinn: Grain free waffles with exotic flavor profiles.
Robyn: Sweet scrambled eggs. Don’t knock it ’til you try it! 1 grated carrot, 3 scrambled eggs, vanilla, tons of cinnamon and coconut oil.
