Disclaimer: This conversation is made possible by Lunchbox. As always, all thoughts and opinions remain my own. Do you have some foods that you associate with fun childhood memories? I always loved making S'mores as a child. No matter how we made them it was always an ooey-gooey time with laughs around the fire or fire pit. I think the best part of S'mores, other than eating them of course, is making them and allowing the kids to be a part of creating their own treat! As summer … [Read more...]
Is it Thursday already? Yes!

A huge thank you to Verizon for providing me with a DNA for review purposes and thus being the catalyst for the best stuffed burger recipe. Does anyone else get tired of making the same old things all the time? Today I was in my kitchen, pacing from the fridge, to the pantry, to the lazy susan and back again. No matter how many times I shifted through our food nothing inspired me. Finally I threw my hands in the air and admitted defeat. Earlier this month I had subscribed to a recipe … [Read more...]
On a recent press trip to Bermuda, I had the pleasure of meeting and befriending an amazing woman - Carolyn Scott-Hamilton. A talented chef, nutritionist and travel blogger, Carolyn showed me that being healthy and eating vegan while traveling wasn't what she refers to as "social suicide". She was easily one of the nicest, most fun and non-judgmental people I have ever met. While I am and always will be a meat-lover, Carolyn's outlook and lifestyle definitely intrigued me. I was able to take a … [Read more...]
Living in southern California, we have the luxury beautiful weather year round. As a result, our grill gets fired it up at least 4-5 times a week and it is easily our most used "appliance". We love making burgers, steaks, vegetables, seafood, and just about anything else you can think of on it. While we often stick with our favorite "go-to" recipes, Ben and I also have a tendency to make things up on the fly - according to what is available in the cupboards of refrigerator.Since I'm … [Read more...]
Source: Bento Monsters Remember when you were a kid and you'd get scared there were monsters hiding under your bed or in your closet? Those creative folks at Pixar solved that problem for a lot of Moms and Dads when they introduced kids to "Monsters Inc. " Now this summer, your favorite characters Mike Wazowski, Sulley, and friends are returning to the big screen, where we'll learn how they met and became friends in "Monsters University." We know getting ready for school … [Read more...]
My son is OBSESSED with Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches. While I don't mind sending them to school with him each morning (on wheat bread, of course), I often get worried that I'm being a "lazy mom" by not making it interesting or mixing it up enough. Of course my rational self says thats what he WANT to eat and it's really just ME that needs to dress things up - but still. I can't help but imagine his little squeal when he opens up his lunch box to find cute Bento characters waiting for him … [Read more...]
Matcha is made by grinding whole tea leaves with granite millstones. The stone grinding process is done very slowly, to avoid damaging the tea leaves' delicate flavor. So slowly, that in an hour only 40 grams of tea (less than 1.5 ounces) is produced. Not all Matcha green tea is created equal. For instance Peet's Coffee and Tea uses an exclusive Matcha their buyer found in the Uji district of Japan to create their 3 Matcha specialty drinks: Green Tea Latte honors its … [Read more...]
In the heat of the sun, sometimes we don't really feel like sitting down for a heavy or hot meal. Instead, we are more in the mood for healthy, cold salads and a delicious chilled fruity smoothie. Not only are smoothies refreshing, but they are packed full of healthy vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. What better way to spend a warm, sunny day than by the beach, playing some FoxyBingo on your laptop and sipping on a smoothie? These fruit-filled drinks are not only low calorie and healthy, … [Read more...]
