Visiting My Fit Foods in Sherman Oaks

Posted on March 5, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: 21-Day Challenge, My Fit Foods, Sherman Oaks Fit Foods | 4 Comments

**2/28/17 EDITOR’S NOTE: I was informed via Yelp & also the My Fit Foods website that the business is closed.** Ever since my daughter was a toddler, if she didn’t finish all of her food at mealtime, I’d pick at the leftovers because I didn’t want them to go to waste. Can you relate? How about this… you’re making dinner & you start sampling the food while you’re cooking because you’ve been rushing around all day. I’ve done that many a … [Read more...]

Jen & Joe’s Frozen Gourmet Cookie Dough

Posted on March 3, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: frozen cookie dough, Jen & Joe’s Cookie Dough, white chocolate wasabi cookies | Leave a Comment

Who doesn’t love the smell of fresh baked cookies? My family loves eating them & more importantly, my kiddo loves helping me bake ‘em. It’s a fun weekend activity; however, let’s be honest…sometimes with our hectic schedules we don’t always have time to bake cookies from scratch, especially when you look inside your pantry & realize that you don’t have all of the ingredients needed to bake that yummy cookie recipe that you found on … [Read more...]

Healthy Oscar Viewing Snacking with G.H. Cretors Organic Popcorn

Posted on February 20, 2015 | Filed Under: Food, Pop Culture | Tags: G.H. Cretors, Organic Popcorn, Oscar party snacks | 2 Comments

The Oscars are this Sunday & while I didn’t get to see every movie on my list, I still plan on making my picks for the Oscar pool that I am in. I often joke with people about how Oscar Sunday is my Super Bowl. I get out the snacks ahead of time, watch all of the pregame coverage or in this case, the red-carpet interviews where fashion critics ask “who are you wearing??” all the while texting my friends Ann & Linda about the speeches & … [Read more...]

Chowing Down at Bachi Burger in Pasadena

**4/39/17 EDITOR’S NOTE: I was informed via Yelp that the business is closed.** Last month we spent a fun family day in Pasadena. First we hit up the LA Cookie Con & Sweets Show at the Pasadena Convention Center. After sampling all of that sweetness, we decided to walk a few blocks over to Bachi Burger which is on the corner of Green & Fair Oaks. I had heard so many good things from my family & friends who had eaten at the … [Read more...]

Family Fun at LA Cookie Con

Posted on February 16, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Dara the Bow Girl, LA Cookie Con, Pasadena cookie conference | 12 Comments

Several weeks ago, my family spent the day out in Pasadena. First stop, the LA Cookie Con & Sweets Show at the Pasadena Convention Center. We arrived just in time to see Ron Ben-Israel, host of the Food Network’s TV show "Sweet Genius" at the opening festivities. It was neat to hear him speak & perform the ribbon cutting ceremony. Btw, how cute are those giant whisks holding up the blue bow?!? There was so much to see at LA … [Read more...]

So naturally we are super excited about National Frozen Yogurt Day which is tomorrow, February 6th.
