When I met CEO Beth and her daughter Taylor I knew we had an instant type of kinship. Something that went above just being foodies. We both are retired military families. They are a woman-owned business that gives back to the community. They have Oven Ready Single-Serve Heat-n-eat Meals where you let them do the work of your meal plan. I sampled a variety of their classic meals. And let me tell you! As someone that is constantly on the go these meals were a Godsend. They take the stress out of meal planning. You can order your meals here!    ..read more

To know Meghan is to love her. She’s been both a mom friend, mentor and a best friend in the food world to me akin to being the Ann to my Leslie Knope. If you should know anything about Meghan brand it’s her biscuits: https://www.thekitchn.com/authors/meghan-splawn Funfetti Cream Biscuits  As much as I love an old-fashioned buttermilk biscuit, cream biscuits are one of my favorite biscuit recipes to dress up. Inside of lots of butter and buttermilk, these biscuits use heavy cream and baking powder to get their impossibly light texture. This sprinkle-packed version gets a little sugar, a ..read more

When you’re visiting the Albertsons on Broadway, it can be easy to think it’s similar to every other Albertsons on your block, but there are a few things I think everyone should check out when they come in. 1. Variety of Produce I love the produce section; as someone from Hawaii, I suggest you dive right in and check out fruits you’ve never heard of. It can be so game-changing to incorporate a new fruit or vegetable into your diet. I really recommend trying a rambutan. It looks furry and is similar to Hawaiian lychee with bigger flesh. 2. Fresh Mozz(erella) I have yet to find a Boise location ..read more

The Boifood grocery shopping list isn’t going to make you a more effective shopper. In fact, it might do the opposite; I’ve been known to frequent the grocery store more in a week than I do any restaurant, brewery, or coffee shop. However, it will make you delight in the present moment, learn to take the food you’re eating out and bring it back to the kitchen, and help you to connect to what’s most important: food! I’ve been heading to the Albertsons on Broadway. I love the attention to local, the seasonal focuses, and amazing employees. Literally, everyone is so kind and focused on giving you ..read more

As an Idahoan, I gladly champion potatoes. I feel no guilt eating all things spud down to the last fry. I got the inside scoop that Albertsons on Broadway is hosting a Potato Palooza Saturday, September 22 (12 pm-7 pm) and have to go. (No, really, I need to grocery shop my fav local products.) During the Palooza, the Idaho Potato Commission will be donating a bag of potatoes to the Idaho Foodbank for every bag of taters purchased. The GIANT Idaho spud truck will also be making its way home to Boise for the season with a visit to the Albertsons on Broadway. I hear they’ll have potato pins and ..read more

As the BOI’s brunch aficionado, I felt the pressure when the Fry Sauce Collective (Boise’s Foodiegrammer group) hosted a potluck brunch at Morning Owl Farms. This is why I went straight for my family’s tried and true Easter Potatoes and decided to try my hand at dairy-free French Toast. After rave reviews, I thought I’d share the recipes with y’all. Dairy-Free French Toast Ingredients: 1 cup Almond Milk 3 Large Eggs 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons of coconut oil 2 tablespoons of honey 1 loaf of brioche bread (I got mine at ACME Bakery) Directions: THE NIGHT BEFORE: Cut the loaf of bread in ..read more

Get this Boiseans. There is a magical woman in your midst who throws events for strangers in the whole PNW to fill them with wonder. No amount of money can get you invited. You have to be lucky enough to find an invitation such as a scroll in a bottle washing up on the ocean or (in my case) a geode hidden across the valley. Her name is The Wondersmith. I was privileged to be a participant in her Geode event and able to invite a date. I took my girl friend Madi.  I can still remember the drive,  covered with whistle pigs that I found myself wanting to adopt, while Madi began to ..read more

Boifood here, hungry to get this gang on the road. I’m present to promote bigger tables, scout brunch locations, and above all continue to preach treating yourself. I consider myself privileged to be rooted in our City of Trees and am so excited about your eating and drinking with me. Let’s talk, Boise! All eyes are on Kin, the new venture started by Kris and Remi, previous co-owner of State & Lemp. With a continued focus on local and now a new emerging location, you can’t help but feel they are pioneering what Idaho food is or will become. I, for one, am salivating over their pop up’s pa ..read more
