Fragrant pears (California Grown) and walnuts make a very delicious combination. I loved the soft and chunky pears in the muffins. They are mildly sweet, perfect for breakfast or afternoon snack with tea. Something new that I’ve not done before in recipes, use walnuts…. …. and grind them up before adding it with the dry […]

We are back from our vacation. We were on a 9-day Mexican Riviera Cruise that took us all over Mexico. We visited Manzanillo, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada. It was a wonderful trip filled with shore excursions, shopping, lots of eating and enjoying the cruise ship entertainment. I will be back-dating the cruise […]
Hello friends 🙂 It feels like it has only been a minute since I posted last weekend, yet a week has gone by. I can’t believe it went by so fast. It was raining earlier this week (after I bragged about how it was so sunny during the weekend) so my week started very gloomy […]
This past weekend, the fiance and I drove to San Diego to jump start the holiday season. We had a Thanksgiving party with my college friends. Let the holiday feasting begin. It rained all weekend in San Diego, but the skies did clear up around Sunday afternoon. On Sunday, we had lunch at Tender Greens […]

I find it fun to plan ahead our meals for the week and I especially enjoy going grocery shopping. I just love to be around food, period. But the husband also […]

The cravings for vegetables continues. A whole lot of butternut squash, carrots, zucchinis and onions. These […]
On this day of love, I wanted to share with you one of the most romantic days in my life, the day the husband and I got engaged!! ************************************************************ Chris surprises me often with sweet gestures and small gifts, so I wasn’t shocked when he made a date for a romantic dinner that overlooked the […]
I am trying to clean out our pantry and incorporating at least one pantry item when I’m doing menu planning for the week. I bought these canned pink salmon from Costco because I saw a few salmon cakes recipes (Paleo & Whole 30) that I wanted to try. Well, I tried one recipe, the one […]
The week has just started but I feel like I’m getting ready for the weekend again. I have the next 2 days off from work to go on a fun road trip 🙂 Well, it will be fun once we get to our destination. During my gym session this morning, I actually noticed the improvement […]
