…s to use the pictures to visualize already having those things in your life. It is a fun, creative way to put all of your goals down on paper.). A Blendtec is similar to a Vitamix. It is a high speed blender that can make hot soup, cold ice cream, nut butters, home made flours, nut or seed milk, home made baby food, the list goes on.

The recipe we are sharing with you today is one that goes back many, many years in my family. This soup is an altered version of the classic chicken soup that my great great grandmother made. When she made this soup she, of course, didn’t use Trader Joe’s chicken broth, but she used a whole chicken and water to make her own stock. The recipe presented to you today was created by my Grandy Kyp. Using the Trader Joe’s broth reall…

…ent to sweet and savory flavors with its salty bite. In fact, a quintessential Italian dish is wrapping cantaloupe with prosciutto: Prosciutto e melone . Mmmm, it brings back good memories. Here we will be lightly sauteing asparagus in a bit of olive oil, adding in some roasted yellow peppers, wrapping it all up in a slice of prosciutto, and topping with a little bit of zested parmesean cheese (one of the few recipes here in which you’ll…

…I thought “well, we haven’t made this yet, in fact I’ve NEVER made it, so lets give it a shot”. I’m not going to lie, I thought I failed at first. It smelled really fishy to me, and I made this soup after eating a meal, so I was the opposite of hungry and it just kept turning me off to the point where I didn’t even want to taste it, but you really can’t not taste something you’ve never made before…

…hat were supplied from the turkey farm itself, but came up with our own seasoning ideas. The result was a tasty bird, seasoned simply with olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary. We decided to accompany it with roasted asparagus, and our classic cauliflower rice. This meal was majorly satisfying, and provided some great leftovers, too. Ingredients: 6-7lb Turkey Breast Rosemary Olive Oil Kosher salt & Pepper 1 lb Asparagus Process:…

Fall is here. All we want are comfort foods, even more so since we both got hit with a pretty nasty head cold/flu upon arrival back in the States. I blame compromised digestion from eating Mexican corn chips-yes we ate lots of corn chips because they were amazing, and gluten free. Then several plane rides, and travel stress. Plus of course, not the best food quality (no home cooked meals). Bill and I were really craving tomato soup, and he was…

We recently had the opportunity to try some of Tropical Traditions Green Label Virgin coconut oil. We have loved every product that we have tried from Tropical Traditions, so we were really eager to try out their coconut oil. Coconut oil is our staple cooking fat in our home. Coconut oil does not have an overpowering coconut flavor, so it is really ideal for all cooking. The slight hint of coconut flavor adds even more dimension to the dishes…

…t. Then we couldn’t decide and put it down for a few weeks. Oops. Then we felt bad that we hadn’t reviewed it yet, so we got it back out. Bill picked the recipe, and I was so excited to make it: Grilled Salmon and Asparagus Frittata. YUM. It was seriously YUM (not the fake sort of Yum). We picked up some wild caught salmon from Whole Foods, as well as some organic asparagus just for this recipe. Summer time is always the perfect time…
