Romesco to the rescue. I’m a sucker for a snack platter: Colorful crudité, cheese, fruit, you name it. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure way of eating.

Matcha Green Tea Latté
Matcha is like warm green tea ice cream in a cozy mug. I’ve heard about matcha for so long, and strolled by matcha cafés popping up in New York and L.A., but I had yet to try the green stuff until last week. For something so full of antioxidants, Vitamin C and L-theanine, it’s darn…
