A delicious little mandarin that's only available in the winter. I was stoked to see them in the produce section last week.

The Halos trademark, also “Wonderful Halos,” is owned by Wonderful Citrus, which also owns the trademarks POM Wonderful pomegranates, Wonderful Pistachios, Wonderful Almonds and Sweet Scarlett red grapefruit. It is the #1 mandarin brand in the U.S. and 100% California-grown (some producers may augment their domestic supply with imported fruit). Even their website sounds delicious: Wonderful.com.

I had no idea. For some reason I thought they might be tiny Filipino cookies. No idea why I thought that...kinda like macaroons . Live and learn.

Nope, nope, nope. I'm working on reducing my intake of sugar and while fruit has sugar, it's a different kind than the added sugar found in sweets, so I use my Halos to curb my cravings for sweet stuff. Apples help too, but not as much because they aren't as adorable or juicy as Halos.

When the Halos run out, I usually get Cuties.

February 15th is National Clementine Day.

Clementines are a type of mandarin.

I think that's all I got.



Anyway, tonight I went with the poor man's knockoff of a Chicago dog. I slit and seared my turkey dogs in avocado oil spray and then put them on Artesano sausage rolls with mustard and Pickle de Gallo. They were good. Not great, like a Chi-Town dog, but good enough. I had water to drink and 3 Halos for dessert.
