Banana-rama

Yesterday afternoon I was racking my brain on what to bring to a Girls Nite In potluck using ingredients that were already in the house, as the boys were napping and I couldn’t get to the grocery store. In perusing the cabinets and fridge, I saw a bunch of overly ripe bananas waiting for a…

I’m reading an amazing book right now – You Are A BadAss At Making Money by Jen Sincero and if you haven’t read anything by her, I highly recommend you do. I started with her book, You Are A BadAss…she gives you real talk about getting real with yourself about your dreams and manifesting them…for…

Squash Pot

We’ve finally hit some cooler temps here in southern California and I’m been craving all the Fall things. My neighbor has a beautiful little garden that had about 4 butternut squash ripe on the vine. She let us have one and all I could think about was chili! I tend to keep a pretty full…

Jammin’

It’s been crazy hot here, I’m talking 103 degrees hot, and for some weird reason I just want to eat and eat with the heat. I’ve been craving desserts so thought it a perfect reason to make some chia seed jam. Farmer’s market strawberries are starting to taste less sweet since they are out of their…
