Yes, my favorite season is upon is, and although the weather in Northern California hasn't fully reflected the season change, I'm seeing it just a little more every day. Nights are getting darker a little earlier, we've already had our first school … [Read more...]

Cherry Apricot and Green Swirl Smoothie Bowl
This is a compensated campaign with Cacique and Society Culinaria. As always, all opinions are my own. I hope you enjoy this cherry apricot and green swirl smoothie bowl! I have loved smoothies for years, probably since I was pregnant with RiRi (who is now 16) and I'd stop on my way to work and buy one for breakfast every morning. It's one of my favorite ways to consume a meal and I typically just throw in whatever fruits, vegetables, yogurts and juices are available in my kitchen. When my … [Read more...]

Quick & Easy Chicken Teriyaki Bowl
When I first started my little corner on the internet almost 4 years ago, I often shared easy dinners for families. To this date, a few of those are still the recipes that are heavily visited on this site. It's no wonder, no matter how many meals I make or how many recipes I've added to my arsenal, sometimes I'm still clueless of what to make for dinner. Even folks that don't cook at home have a hard time choosing where to eat dinner at, so of course figuring out what to make is always going … [Read more...]
Chicken and Cilantro Rice Salad Bowl
Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. and Pinnacle Foods Group LLC. All opinions are entirely my own. Lunchtime for me is a bit of an adventure. Since I technically work from home, I usually just heat something up from the night before and have that as my lunch. Sometimes I'll whip up something quick, or I might even head out for lunch somewhere local, although usually I just bring it back home with me. On the occasion that I do feel like preparing something, I like to … [Read more...]
Deli-Style Savory Sourdough Melt
A very special thank you to San Luis Sourdough® breads for sponsoring this recipe. As always, all opinions are my own! Sometimes I feel like I use the same ingredients over and over again, just in different forms. I guess it makes sense when you think about it, when grocery shopping we all tend to buy things we're familiar with week and and week out. I know one of my favorite snacks is some Italian Dry Salame with sliced pepper jack cheese. It's seriously the best. Now, my daughter RiRi … [Read more...]

The votes are in (just kidding, I just looked at which recipes received the most traffic) and I see some clear … [Read more...]
Thanksgiving for the Vegetarian – 12 Recipe Ideas
Thanksgiving is best known for Turkey. It's pretty synonymous and what most of us expect that celebrate a traditional Thanksgiving. Sometimes there's a ham thrown in too, and many family like to add other meats that might be their favorite too. Where does this leave the vegetarian, though? Sure, one would assume the vegetarian will eat one of the traditional sides like Macaroni and Cheese or Mashed Potatoes and Gravy. However, we have a tendency to add meats and broths to those as well. I see … [Read more...]
