About 5 years ago, I started brewing my own kombucha. I was pulling weeds and cleaning out garden beds at work one day and my colleague described how he brews a batch every couple of weeks and had some extra SCOBY to give away. I thought about it and decided to give the hobby a […]

I do not claim to be a full-blooded vegetarian. But Cobalt and I do eat a lot of meatless meals for the following reasons: Omitting meat is more affordable. Vegetables and fruits have the best balance of nutrients a human needs: carbs, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and fiber. The right combination of vegetables and fruits […]
Happy Thursday! What a great week it has been! My dear sister flew out to visit for the last week. Since she’s never been to Cali before so we spent nearly every day out and about, site-seeing Los Angeles. For the first few days, I showed her all of my favorite beaches: Santa Monica Pier, […]
Ever since moving to Los Angeles I’ve loved the fact that we live in an area of town where there are so many Asian restaurant options. Vietnamese Pho, Korean BBQ, Japanese, Philippino … so genuine and delicious! It has caused my and hubby’s restaurant-budget to increase a bit – but man, is it worth it! […]
From blendersmoothies.com Anyone notice the “detox diet trend” lately? The only conclusion I can draw from this popular diet is complete absurdity. If it wasn’t promoted as a weight-loss method, I wouldn’t mind so much simply because the logic behind it kind of, sort of, makes sense. However, the claim that toxins are stored in […]
As I mentioned in my previous post, last weekend was so fun, having our friends over to see our new house and sharing food with them. Since we opened our home all day long, we planned three meals to share with our guests. In the morning we served brunch: mini quiches, fruit, blueberry muffins, cherry hand pies, orange […]

But hang in there — allow me to defend this Macro-Nutrient that lacks a voice. Our bodies need carbs. Carbohydrates are the main energy source […]
I love one pot meals. And I love Mac & Cheese. This super simple recipe for cheesy pasta with kale is SO delicious and a much healthier alternative than the artificially flavored, chemically colored box of neon orange mac ‘n’ cheese. It’s just as easy to make, too! You only have to clean one pot […]
Today I bring to you the most delicious and EASY Fettuccini you’ll ever eat. Watch this video to learn how! I didn’t use smoked fish, just extra vegetables (red peppers, broccoli, green beans and peas) and diced chicken. But it was amazing. Also, Jamie used reduced fat milk for the Alfredo sauce which makes it […]
Recently, I’ve added a new hobby to my life: Teaching Cooking Classes. I meet a friend once a week or so to teach her some simple recipes and techniques that she can take with her for the rest of her life. So far we’ve learned knife skills (though I will say that I’m not the best […]
