Good Stuff: Pizza crusts, tea and a potent cocktail
Good paleo pizza crusts
Joining the “free” market of products (free of soy, gluten, dairy, grain etc.) are pizza crusts from Mikey’s Muffins, a company specializing in paelo-style foods. The crusts make for a lower-calorie version of your homemade pie. Available at healthier food stores including BetterHealth markets and Whole Foods and online at MikeysMuffins.com. Cost is $6.99 for two 5-ounce pizza crusts
Good new teas
The Tetley tea company has unveiled a new product line called Tetley Super Teas infused with vitamins C, B6 and B7. A box of 20 tea bags is $3.99 and they are available at Family Fare stores on the west side of the state and online at TetleyUSA.com. Flavors in the box include Blueberry & Raspberry, Lemon & Honey, and Black Tea with Vanilla.
One good Italian drink
Bartender Rick Paulger at Michael Symon’s Roast downtown has come up with a creative cocktail using newly launched Zucca Rabarbaro. The rhubarb liqueur has somewhat of a medicinal aroma, and comes across first as bitter, melding to smoky, spicy finish.
