Savoring life...one juicy bite at a time!
It has been HOT and muggy here in Orange County. It’s always right about now that I really start to crave fall weather. I love cooking (and eating) soups, stews, and chiles all throughout fall and winter. One pot meals are my favorite! But alas…the forecast tells me that it […]
This puts the “Happy” in Happy Hour… Last week was the first week of school for my boys. It was a little hectic for us all to adjust to the new schedule and give up our lazy summer days. By Friday I was ready for happy hour in a big […]
You can’t beat a simple & flavorful chopped salad! Hi Juicy Readers! I feel like I dropped the ball a little on my summer salad posting. I had the best of intentions to make many and post them all, but sadly…time got away from me and we were busier than […]

Funny thing about growing tomatoes…you get a lot of them. Then…you gotta use them up! Even when I don’t feel like cooking dinner and I am thinking about picking up take-out from somewhere, I look at the pile of tomatoes in the kitchen and think…I gotta make something with those […]
Have you tried Coconut Butter?? How could I have not discovered this stuff sooner? I love coconut, I cook and bake with coconut oil (and use if for a moisturizer sometimes), I love coconut milk, I drink coconut water and use it in my smoothies…BUT where has this coconut butter […]
Serious Tomato Heaven!! After many trials and tribulations, my husband has successfully grown some heirloom tomatoes. It was way more work (blood, sweat, tears and a few choice words), than he thought it would be…but WELL worth it! If you haven’t had a home-grown tomato, whether it be from your […]
