One of my favorite things that Whole Foods has to offer is NY Slices frozen pizza. The slices come pre-cut and stacked on top of each other in a small pizza delivery box, which allows you to not have to cook the whole pizza when you just need a stack. The slices taste just like New York thin sliced pizza and only cost around $9 a box.
What can I say, I'm a picky eater! Not the kind that's afraid to try new things though. I'm not a trained chef or even an experienced cook, but I love getting creative in the kitchen and making food that makes people happy.

Cucumber Gin and Tonic
I was never a big fan of Gin & Tonics until the hot summer night that I was served a Cucumber Gin 7 Tonic at the Lobby Bar in Oklahoma City.
The bartender used Hendrick’s Gin which is infused with Rose Petals and Cucumber and added a couple mashed cucumber slices that brought out the flavor in the Gin.
Hendrick’s is a pretty expensive Gin, but rich and dry in flavor. Plus it comes in a really cool vintage looking bottle with a cork cap that looks great as a decorative piece after you’re done drinking all of the Gin.
