A good, ripe pear is definitely one of my favorite fruits. Juicy, creamy, and such great flavor. It seems to me that when fall rolls around, everyone becomes obsessed with apples and pumpkin. But in my opinion, pears should be the star of the season!! Pears are perfect as a snack, in breakfasts, desserts, or…
Sesame Shrimp Lettuce Wraps #EmileNoel #Giveaway
As Non-GMO Month continues, I’ve got another great product to share with you. I had the opportunity to try one of Emile Noël’s organic artisan oils, and now one of you will too!

Nick has certainly learned to…

Summertime Grilled Pizzas
One of my favorite things about living in California is all the amazing grocery stores. I’ve had trouble in some of the places we’ve lived in finding anything healthy, fresh or even remotely “exotic” (I once couldn’t find limes in Oklahoma). Recently I discovered an amazing supermarket right down the road from our new neighborhood!…
