Things We Can't Live Without


Our Seattle interns at allrecipes.com hold up their items they can't live without.

Robin Lee (back left): Nutella-"What’s not to love about Nutella? Spread it on toast, dip strawberries, crepes with nutella and bananas, eat it straight of the jar with a spoon… the possibilities are endless!"

Emily Hudson (back middle): Vogue
-"I can’t live without Vogue because I agree with the experts: “Fashion is the only attempt to realize art in living forms. This is how I justify going way overboard as a shopping fanatic :)."

Leo Yuan (back right)- Yoplait Strawberry Yogurt-"Strawberry is tasty and yogurt makes my afternoon much more relaxed!"

Jordan Taylor (front left)- Orville Redenbacher Hot Air Popcorn- "The reason I love this is because it is a healthy snack, but even though it is healthy, most everyone LOVES popcorn, and it is usually a snack you bring out when hanging out with friends, family, or while watching movies! Or both! Basically it combines all great things!"

Jennifer Lee (front right)- Clorox Wipes-"I can’t live without Clorox Wipes because they are the best for disinfecting in-between deep cleanings and smell great too. Basically… less time needed for clean-up = More time with family and friends… or more EATING AND COOKING!"
