Food Republic: 10 Easy D.I.Y. Kitchen Staples. Grilled Salmon with Quick Blueberry Pan Sauce | The Cavewoman's Kitchen. Kevin and I don’t do much to celebrate holidays, we are not gift givers, nor do we plan any big to-do, we enjoy having an evening at home. I do however try to plan a dinner that is a little bit special. This blueberry sauce definitely took our weekly salmon up a notch. The shallots, and garlic cut out the sweetness from the blueberries and gave it a lovely smooth, rich texture.
We were both licking our plates clean. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Brush grill rack with oil. Grill salmon until just opaque in center, 4-5 minutes per side.

Last Friday we celebrated my son completing preschool and this Friday, my daughter completed first grade. A brave smile was on my face when I shared in my daughter’s excitement as we piled into the van after the school bell rang.
I am a sappy nostalgic person that is full of pride but knows with that final first grade bell, we are closer to her to being a ’grown-up’. Now that those feelings are out there, let’s all celebrate health and togetherness with some semi-homemade strawberry lemonade. I spied a pretty bottle of preservative free, no HFCS lemonade and decided to pair it with the quart of organic strawberries I had also just purchased.

Toast Your Health With These Five Organic Drinks. Pink frozen berry drink by D. Sharon Pruitt via Flickr Among all the "natural" energy drinks, chill-out beverages, coconut waters, probiotic kefir shooters, alternative milks, and superfruit juices at the recent Natural Products Expo, there were some standout organic liquid refreshments in the mix.

Last year, for World Nutella Day, I made 3 cocktails. It was only fitting that I continued the theme of adult Nutella consumption. However, although the name sounds adult, the entire family can enjoy and fight over this pie (you may want to change the name to "Eat It All Up Nutella Pie" for the kids.) I had such a good time trying different ways to best include Nutella into this recipe. The original pie is dense, sticky and rich, which also describes Nutella right out of the jar.
So, some adapting and developing needed to happen to keep the balance while adding the chocolate and "hazelnutty" richness to the filling. If you can't get enough Nutella (join the crowd), check out World Nutella Day on Facebook and Twitter and see what Sara at MsAdventuresInItaly.com and Michelle from BleedingEspresso.com have put together for this year's World Nutella Day. ALSO: Check out my Peanut Butter Crack Pie with a purpose~ RECIPE: NUTELLA CRACK PIE(inspired by the recipe by Christina Tosi for Crack Pie) Angry birds cake balls | onebitemore. *grunt grunt grunt hurhurhur grunt*“DAMMIT!” Sounds that reverberate around lounge rooms, bedrooms and through the earplugs attached to countless iPhones, androids and smartphones throughout the world. The cause? Angry Birds. The game itself is based on a fairly simple premise. A gang of birds are obsessed with protecting the eggs in their nest. The birds get angry and, as revenge, hurtle themselves at the snorting green pigs, who in turn have built forts of varying strengths.
I’d been itching to try my hand at making some cake balls (like cake pops, but without the pops), but had struggled to come up with a decorating theme for them. Until, that is, I caught wind that this coming Saturday had been dubbed International Angry Birds Day, and that fans of the game all around America were planning on gathering for reasons unknown. I called the VTB that evening. “So, err, I have a favour to ask of you…” said I. “What kind of favour?” “You want to what?!” So it was settled. Hurrah! *oink oink* 1.

Cabbage Rolls CrockPot Recipe. Day 163. I've never had cabbage rolls before.

The very first cabbage roll recipe that I bookmarked, was Sandra's, on a Slow-Cooking Thursday. I thought they sounded intriguing, but couldn't imagine that they tasted good.

Christina Pirello: Change Your Life With Chia. When you think of chia seeds, you most likely think of the tiny seeds that were the joke of a generation as we slathered them on clay sculptures and gleefully watched the sprouting of 'green hair' on Homer Simpson and porcupines. Chia seeds (salvia hispanica) are wild seeds with origins in Mexico and Guatemala dating back to pre-Columbian times and have a long history as human food.
Domesticated by ancient Mexicans in 2600 BC, these tiny seeds were a staple food of both Native American and Mexican cultures. Known to those cultures as 'the running food,' chia seeds and water were the main ingredients that fueled Aztec warriors in their conquests. Along with corn, beans and amaranth, chia seeds were a cornerstone in both the Mayan and Aztec diets. Tributes and taxes were paid to Aztec priests and nobility in chia seeds. And what, you may be thinking, has this to do with you and changing your life? But here's where it gets really cool. And chia can help you get skinny. It gets better. A Wonderful Coconut Yam Soup Recipe : Natural Weight Loss. Browse > Home / Recipes / Coconut Yam Soup With Ginger and Lime - Former Fat Guy As far as I’m concerned, one of the best starchy carbohydrates you could consume for both nutrition, energy, fat loss and muscle building is the yam (or sweet potato).
We could argue which is which, the yam being orange or yellow I mean, but from what I understand, it’s the yellow tuber. Steamed yams are great, as are the baked versions, but for something different, I decided to combine a few of my favorite things into one nice little coconut yam soup with some kick and flavor. Ingredients 6 Yams or Sweet Potatoes 7 cups distilled water or home made vegetable stock 2 Tbsp (or more) of fresh ground ginger root 6 Tbsp lime juice 2 cans coconut milk (NOT the lite version) 1 tsp fresh ground celtic sea salt 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper 1 tsp coriander 1.
Dice the yams into bite sized chunks and then place them, the ginger root and distilled water into a large pot and bring to a boil. 2. 3. 4.
