    Stinkey Monkey Pudding

    He gave me a sample of his Vanilla Matcha and Chocolate puddings and I indulged in much of both for breakfast! No one would be able to tell they were coconut based, gluten free, dairy free and vegan. I liked that they were just sweet enough, with a slight crunch, I'm suspecting is contributed by the low-glycemic sweetener, palm sugar. It's a great source of essential fats (coconut milk) and antioxidants (cacao powder and matcha powder).

    Cucumber Avocado Gazpacho

    I love chilled summer soups that are filling yet refreshing. I happened to have most of the ingredients required to make Health Bitch Daily's awesome recipe of this soup and it was yummy! Stay cool and fed as the temperature starts to creep!

    Handy Dandy Electric Kettles

    My old electric kettle was plastic so I started to use a small pot, but after almost burning down the house a few times, I decided to search for a stainless steel electric kettle. I was down to the Breville's Ikon Electric Kettle, the Breville's Variable Temperature Kettle and the Hamilton Beach Cool Touch Electric Kettle.

    The Magic Bullet

    I use this small but mighty tool just about everyday -- and most of the time, more than once a day -- so I figured it deserves a place on this site.

    Curried Chicken Salad Sandwich

    The perfect picnic lunch - chilled chicken salad with a punch! It was a hit this weekend when I make my usual Chicken Curry Salad with a bit more jazz as a sandwich for my friend's Bridal Shower Brunch.

    Orange Dreamsicle

    Reminiscent of my childhood hot summer days with sticky orange creamsicles on bicycles and of my adolescent trips to the mall with a big styrofoam cup of Orange Julius, this wholesome version of the orange-and-cream pair will trigger your taste buds to walk down memory lane too.

    Rawesome Tomato Sauce

    Growing up, if someone asked what my favorite food was, I probably would have said "spaghetti". My love of Italian pasta still lingers deep within but I rarely eat pasta. That doesn't mean that I don't eat tomato sauce... Not Prego and not Ragu, but I do sometimes buy organic pasta sauce in a jar out of convenience.

    Pineapple Smoothie

    I had a bit of cashew milk leftover last Sunday that I wanted to use up. I poked around my freezer for some frozen fruit and found just enough pineapple pieces. It was the perfect cool-down drink post-hike for us.
