Hello Kitty Con, Here I Come!

Posted on September 5, 2014 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Hello Kitty's 40th Anniversary, Hello Kity Con, Sanrio | 10 Comments

I have been a Hello Kitty fan for a long, long time. As a young Asian-American girl growing up in the 70’s, I was all about Hello Kitty. Sure, my friends & I were into Barbies, but there was something about Hello Kitty merchandise that I just had to have. I remember going mall shopping with my parents & if we happened to pass a Sanrio store, then I begged them to go inside.

This is a special "birthday" edition of Real Moms of the SFV! Since it was my birthday yesterday, I thought I'd take this opportunity to introduce myself to my readers (new & old). It occurred to me that maybe not everyone reads the About Me section of a blog & even if you did, there is still so much more to share! :) This past weekend, I spent a few days in Anaheim, CA. Well, Disneyland to be exact! I participated in my very first … [Read more...]

Labor Day weekend is around the corner. For your end of summer get-together, why not make this easy-peasy dessert? It’s got delicious berries that are right in season, plus ice cream! It’s very simple to make, so you don’t have to spend much time in the kitchen & you can focus on mingling with your guests. The two ice creams that I am using for this recipe are from Tillamook. Did you know that Tillamook produces food other than cheese? I … [Read more...]

Posted on August 27, 2014 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: San Fernando Valley bakery, Square Treat Company, Tanya Gradet | 4 Comments

Earlier this year, I attended the 6th Annual Unique LA Spring Show in downtown Los Angeles. It was during that awesome food & shopping fest that I met Tanya Gradet. She owns The Square Treat Company which is based in the Valley. These delicious sweet treats are awesome AND she also makes a gluten-free &/or dairy-free version (upon request). I sampled a gluten-free version while at Unique LA & I have to say that it tasted just as good … [Read more...]

Posted on August 27, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: NAKED infusions, organic salsa, Selene B. Kepila | 8 Comments

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, then you know that I am a salty snack person. Hubby & kiddo love the sweet stuff, but I’m a chips & salsa (AND guacamole) kind of girl. So when I was introduced to the NAKED Infusions product line last month, I did a little happy dance in my kitchen, especially after tasting the Fire Roasted Garlic salsa. Selene Kepila uses only the freshest ingredients grown by local California farmers … [Read more...]
