What’s Cooking at the 2015 LA County Fair?!

Posted on September 11, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: LA County Fair, LA County Fair Food, LACFnaturalhigh | 6 Comments

Last weekend the LA County Fair opened to much fanfare. Fun rides, toe-tapping music & food, glorious food can be found at the Fairplex in Pomona! Usually when you think of fair food, the first thing that comes to mind is that this is the place where anything & everything gets dipped in batter & fried! At the Chicken Charlie booth, you'll find a wide variety of food items that are deep fried. One such item is the newly … [Read more...]

Mint Leaf Indian Cuisine – A Hidden Gem in Pasadena

Mint Leaf Indian Cuisine 2

I’m a big fan of Indian food. Just give me some spicy samosas, naan bread & that delicious chicken tikka masala & I am one happy camper! I know of good places in Simi (my old hometown) & have a few go-to Indian restaurants in the Valley. However I was in for a treat when I visited Mint Leaf Indian Cuisine in the “other” Valley – San Gabriel Valley or Pasadena to be more specific. It only took about 20 minutes to get there from my … [Read more...]

Two Moms in the Raw – Snacks that are Mom-Made, Organic and Raw!

Posted on September 1, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: almond protein crackers, Two Moms in the Raw, vegan granola bars | 12 Comments

When I stopped by the Two Moms in the Raw booth at BlogFest, I was intrigued by the name. Naturally it was the food that led me to the booth, especially since they were passing out samples of several of their products. However it was the name of the company that got me wondering what this company was all about. Shari Leidich is the founder of Two Moms in the Raw, a family-run company that makes 100% organic, gluten free, raw, sprouted, non-GMO … [Read more...]

Arctic Zero: Fit Frozen Desserts

Posted on August 27, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Arctic Zero, Fit Frozen Desserts, low cal ice cream | 8 Comments

I don’t know about where you live but it has been blazing hot in the Valley lately! When the weather is above 90 degrees, my family (including me) craves ice cream. If it were up to my daughter, we would have ice cream every day after dinner but obviously that wouldn’t be good for our health! However there is an ice cream out there that is fat free, lactose free (great for my family/friends who have a hard digesting dairy), GMO free and certified … [Read more...]

Sharky’s Northridge – Feel Good About Eating!

Posted on August 25, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Northridge Mexican food, organic Mexican food, Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill | 2 Comments

I attended a media lunch sponsored by Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill. The visit was complimentary & I received a goodie bag as compensation for attending. All opinions expressed here are 100% my own. I love Mexican food, but living in SoCal I know that not all places that serve Mexican food are created equal. Sure you’ve got your taco trucks, fast food chains, hole in the wall mom & pop places & sit down restaurants. Well what if … [Read more...]
