Arctic Zero: Fit Frozen Desserts
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!
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.

Celebrating Far From the Madding Crowd at Apricot Lane Farms
Two weeks ago, my daughter & I arrived at Apricot Lane Farms, located in a sleepy town just 45 minutes north of Los Angeles to celebrate the Blu-Ray/DVD release of Far From the Madding Crowd. The movie is set in England during Victorian times & is based on Thomas Hardy’s book of the same name, Far from the Madding Crowd. The film stars Carey Mulligan (who I’ve liked since she played Winnie Gekko in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps) … [Read more...]
