I was fortunate enough to grow up in Sonoma County, California, where some of the world’s best food and wine can be enjoyed. I’m not kidding – any good foodie has heard of it or been there, and tourists flock to the region just to wine and dine. I would say growing up there is [...]

For part two of my review of organicgirl good clean greens, I made a recipe using their i heart baby kale. I first took a taste of it raw, and wow! I find kale too bitter to consume raw, but baby kale has a much milder, delicate flavor. I could definitely see myself using it [...] I recently had the pleasure of receiving a free sample of organicgirl good clean greens to review. The company is celebrating their debut on Lifetime Network’s “All Mixed Up” reality cooking show. I received their baby spinach, i heart baby kale, and SUPERGREENS! as seen below: Who doesn’t love the names of these products? [...] It’s hard to escape the buzz about salmon and its health benefits. The American Heart Association recommends eating a fatty fish such as salmon at least twice a week to ward off cardiovascular disease and lower cholesterol. But unfortunately, if you’re like me, salmon can sometimes seem a little boring. I prefer that it has [...] I was lucky enough to recently receive a free sample of Piacci cheese in the mail. Piacci is a great company that makes fine Italian artisan cheeses founded by a man named Filippo Candela of Montelepre, Sicily. They are now based in Wisconsin, and you know what that means when it comes to cheese. What [...] Oxymoron, much? Of course, quesadillas aren’t Greek, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be made Greek-style. How to do this? Pita bread instead of tortillas, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, spinach, oregano, and a tzatziki sauce for dipping in lieu of sour cream. Tzatziki sauce is traditionally made with plain Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, [...] My favorite kinds of gifts to give are of the edible kind. The thought and effort that goes into it is enough to make anyone grateful and appreciative. I get just as much enjoyment out of making and giving them as others do from receiving them. So as much as I love baking during this [...] They may get a bad rep, but I’ll go ahead and say that my favorite vegetable in the whole wide world is Brussels sprouts. I love that they’re flavorful, easy to prepare, and versatile. I also find them adorable – they’re like itty bitty mini heads of cabbage. A couple weeks ago, I was buying [...] There’s no better way to wind down at night, especially a cold night, than with a warm beverage. Tea is great, but there’s just something about winter and hot cocoa. I used to just microwave a packet of Nestle or Swiss Miss…until I read the ingredients and realized I could barely recognize what half of [...] My favorite fall food has got to be sweet potatoes. It’s a food that manages to be sweet and savory at the same time. Extremely versatile. Vibrant color. And, the word is definitely out about how healthy they are. However, baking them in the oven can take a long, long time, and microwaving them all [...] |
