I’ve been making Gwyneth’s simple 3 ingredient granola for over a year now, and interchanging quinoa and oats on a rotating basis. The kids love the simplicity of the oats version, and I love the earthiness of the quinoa version, and while the age old motto “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” usually runs […]
Fermented probiotic beverages are all the rage right now, and I am 100% on board! About a month ago I started making water kefir and it’s turned into a fun little hobby with health benefits. My family really enjoys the tangy, fizzy drink that is chockfull of probiotics and other nutrients. Making water kefir is […]
“This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Aloha, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #MyAloha #AlohaMoment http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV” I hate to wish time away, but I’m ready for summer to be over. While we still have a couple of weeks before the last day of summer […]
Summer usually finds many home gardeners people with an over-abundance of zucchinis, and if you’re a mindful shopper, you’ll notice that they’re almost giving them away at any local grocery store. Summer makes zucchinis grow like weeds, and even those with hardly a green thumb in their body can get a few to grow with minimal […]
A few posts pack, I shared with you an appetizer as dinner spread I pull together, on the nights where I don’t really feel like cooking. Spreads that appear quite impressive and complicate, but are really just the result of fridge rummaging, and making sure to have can’t-live-without items always on hand; salami & cheese, […]
I never realized that the toughest part of summer break would be snacks and lunch. I’m being totally serious! I take it for granted that at school there is someone else doling out the snacks and lunch and I only have to worry about breakfast and dinner. It’s kind of nice, actually. But now it’s […]
At some point several years ago, probably due to a mix of laziness and a love for all things savory, I started throwing together light appetizer spreads for small groups of guests. Eventually, as I became more proficient at these types of spreads, they got more elaborate and eventually took over as dinner. Now, I […]
I’ve never been the type to order a mocha frappucinno from Starbucks, because I’ve always found them to be way too sweet. My husband likes them enough and so I’ve curiously tasted a few sips every now and then, each time hoping I would enjoy it and then understand people’s fascination with them. But each […]
Having the good fortune of being born in Southern California is one of the many things I am continuously thankful for. While I may have just recently been interested in eating healthier, I have always had a deep love of food, and Southern California has an ever evolving cornucopia of interesting and unique food to […]
Are you ready for one of the easiest, tastiest, most addictive-est snacks ever? Roasted chickpeas, friends, are where it’s at. They are loaded with protein and vitamins. And there’s not room for any guilt with these babies. We roast these by the bucketful…well, not really, but I should. They get snatched up by big and […]
