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.

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.

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. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Brush grill rack with oil. Grill salmon until just opaque in center, 4-5 minutes per side. Recipe inspired by Epicurious
