Entice your palate!
I love trying new fruits and vegetables. During one of my shopping trips at Safeway, I saw a spiky yellow fruit that looks too interesting to pass up. Despite its spiky appearance, the fruit is actually a little soft as I gently squished it. This “soft-hearted” fruit is Kiwano — a melon that originated from Africa. …
Happy Thanksgiving! This year, I am traveling to Southern California for Thanksgiving to visit a very dear friend. I packed up the car and drove 10 hours with my kids and dogs. It was very tiring but it was all worth it to see my friend and her newborn girl. Thanksgiving is truly a time …

October is surely a month of orange, with pumpkins, pumpkins, everywhere! Besides pumpkins, there is an orange-color fruit that I love — persimmons! Some people prefer to eat them when they are firm, with a crunchy texture, like apples. I love Fuyu persimmons, especially when they become soft and sweet. One day, I was pleasantly surprised …
It’s so true that kids’ minds are like sponges — they absorb things that they see and experience quickly, and give it their own spin in no time. My 4-year old always ask me to make her smoothie. But this time, she wanted to name her own ingredients. So I played along and we created this Mango Berry Bliss.
Ingredients: Mango, blueberries, strawberries, banana, Chobani plain Greek yogurt, and Silk vanilla soy milk
AND edible flowers — decorate with a pretty flower was a must from the ingredient mastermind =)

Ingredients: chia seeds, Silk vanilla soy milk, cantaloupe, and coconut chips
Enjoy!
