The Golden Globes start in just over an hour and what better way to enjoy the show, than with a Tangerine Martini in hand. Jimmy Fallon is the host this year, so there should be a lot of laughter and great views of the fabulous gowns parading on stage. I just love a good awards

Comfort food at it’s finest! This One-Pot Chicken Pot Pie won’t disappoint with creamy chicken filling and flaky biscuits. Simple One-Pot Chicken Pot Pie Sentimental and nostalgic seems to be a common
Corn season is only for a few months a year and it's time to take advantage of this sweet harvest and prepare a Raw Corn, Arugula and Scallion Salad. Crisp and crunchy -- mildly sweet -- fresh corn is brilliant right now. I prefer raw corn over cooked because you can taste that true freshness.
Whether you are a vegetarian or just appreciate a good vegetarian meal, this Goat Cheese Broccoli Rice Skillet is perfect for you. The goat cheese becomes the sauce that steams the broccoli and rice, and after a quick trip in the oven, the edges become crispy and slightly caramelized, making this one simply delicious meal.
I hope everyone had a nice weekend. The weather here in Los Angeles was warm and windy, but not so hot that it wasn't great for cooking. Spring is only three weeks away, but I'm still hoping for some rain. It's pretty dry around Los Angeles and in Santa Barbara county as well. The hillsides
I've been talking a lot about bread lately and it's because I just got back from bread camp in Louisville, KY. I usually don't dive into bread too deeply on my blog because it can be a little more labor intensive than most of my recipes, and I'm not sure there are enough folks that
Weeknight pizza can be a cinch, especially if you use store-bought pizza dough. Most grocery stores and several pizza places sell dough that you can stretch into your own homemade pie on a sheet pan, and have an delightful meal in minutes. Roasted broccoli, cherry tomatoes and capicola make the best toppings for an incredible
We are less than a handful of days away from the official day of summer, and I'm more than ready to start pumping out the stone-fruit recipes. Peaches, plums, nectarines and apricots to name just a few, are some of the sweetest things about summertime fun. Whether you enjoy them fresh off the tree, sliced
These Mixed Berry Muffin Cookies are a cross between a muffin and a cookie. The cake is tender, yet the crumb is more compact, like a buttery cookie. I couldn't resist the idea of cookies for breakfast - I'm all over that. It all starts with butter and sugar mixed until creamy smooth and then
Quick breads are something we bake all year long with flavors of the current season. We're heavily into zucchini season with all kinds of varieties of summer squash, large and small, brimming bins at grocery stores, and local farmer's markets. Zucchini bread is a summer favorite and I can't actually remember a summer without baking
Tamarind are fruit pods that grow on a bushy trees that are native to the tropical regions in Africa. What makes this fruit so special to use in cooking, is that the flavors are unlike any other ingredient, they're tangy, yet sweet with full-bodied flavor. Tamarind Paste is usually what you see in specialty markets or

Growing up, Blue Cheese Dressing was something we enjoyed on special occasions. It just so happened to be one of my dad's favorite salad dressings and occasionally he would buy a jar of Bob's Big Boy dressing and spoon it over our salads, but during the holidays my mom would make a batch from scratch made
Artichoke or crab are probably some of the first hot dips I have ever eaten. They both became quite popular in the 1980's being served in restaurants and cafes, but I became quite fond of them at my parent’s parties, or at gatherings with family. Both dips have very similar ingredients, except one is vegetarian
Okay, how many of you have a bag or two of paleo, gluten-free, or any combination of almond flour, coconut flour and/or tapioca starch or cornstarch in your pantry? Yes, that's what I thought. We all have some sort of healthier version of all-purpose flour lying around. So, today is the day you brush off
Peaches are in season only a few months of the year and I consider them to be one of summertime's most fabulous fruit. Peaches are so delicately sweet and taste delicious in so many recipes like salads, pies, crisps and breakfast treats. I'm always trying to create more recipes that utilize peaches during this time

I have been so proud of the 2nd grade for their hard work over the last several weeks! I thought I would share some of the great work they have produced. First, the students picked an animal that they wanted to research. We then used a class set of Ipads to do our week-long research. I used the following paper found on TPT: I had them research 5 different topics for their animal: habitat, body, diet, life cycle, and a fun fact. After the week of research, we began our animal pyramid. We completed a triangular diorama a day. On day one, they wrote about the animal's habitat and then illustrated the animal in it's habitat. On day two, they wrote about the animal's body coverings and then drew a diagram of it with important parts labeled. On day three, they wrote about what the animal eats and illustrated. On day four, they got to pick between life cycle and fun fact for their final part of the pyramid. The final results were so good I decided to display them on tables outside my room. Click here to see instructions for putting the pyramid diorama together: Pyramid Diorama (triarama) Here are some of our completed projects: We followed up our animal research by studying food chains. The students completed a Who Eats What food chain worksheet and then made a stacked food chain collage. It was challenging, but so very worth it. When you see the final results, I think you'll agree!

I think most of us have been reflecting upon the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg this past week. As a woman, and a grandmother of a brand new granddaughter, I think harder about our rights and equalities, not only in the workplace, but in society as a whole. I think about our future and how
If you're cooking outdoors this summer, why not do the entire meal on the grill? I love the idea of cooking and baking everything on the grill top, as opposed to running back and forth, in and out of the house to prepare food. Your grill, whether it be gas or charcoal is just like
We have been trying to fit in a few fire safety activities the last couple weeks, so I could get this blog post out earlier in the week in case you are looking for a few extra activities! We did some discussing about what to do in case of an emergency! We learned to call 9-1-1! We used this template and decorated our numbers using the colors we see in fire! A lot of these activities are done with my preschooler BUT this one I let the girls do! They did a great job using the paintbrush to pain the glue on the numbers! Then, they were able to stick a few pieces of paper to the numbers! Using the paint brush with glue has been a huge hit over here and is a little easier than a glue bottle for projects like this! They turned out so cute and would make a great display at school! We also did a fun color words worksheet! Each flame has a color and we would color the flames to match. We are not reading yet, so I would say the color and he would find the marker! This next activity was a great way to practice "calling" 9-1-1! We used our fingers then we use dot markers. We talked about what an emergency is. AND calling because you need a snack is NOT an emergency ;) We also talked about things that are hot in our house. We wrote X's on post-its and put them on the hot things in our house. This was a great way to get some writing in! I made an X and he copied it then found all the things we should stay away from to be safe. Fire Safety Week is not complete if you don't make a firetruck out of shapes :) This was an easy activity and helped review shapes! We also pretended it was a real fire truck and drove it all around the house. Hopefully you found something you can add to your fire safety week! If you are looking for the activities pictured above click HERE! Below are some fun activities to use during Fire Safety Week or for your Community Helpers Unit! All of these activities have a fun fire fighting theme! Letter tracing cards! Color word puzzles! Words come in black and colored to match the object! Pattern cards that include extending patterns and creating your own. I have been loving these play dough mats! You can also use manipulatives to outline each shape too! Ten frame cards with and without numbers. Use with manipulatives as a matching game.

Ok so my Dear Husband like many husbands just LOVES to go shopping with me..lol.. The other day I actually got him to go grocery shopping at a Hispanic grocery store. He see the cactus flowers (Prickly Pears) and decides that he would like some. Seeing how no one else in our family likes them he was supposed to bag 1, 2 maybe 3 to eat that night with dinner, but come to find out at the cash register he actually bagged 20..... He says oh the kids will love them and that they will be all gone by the end of dinner. Not only were they not all gone by the end of dinner not one had been touched until I took them out of the fridge this morning, 12 days later..... Not going to say I told you so, Instead I decided to I would make something from them because I have this issue with waisting money. So here comes a great idea we can make jelly... Wait better yet we can make HOT Prickle Pear and Jalapeno Jelly.... 1. Seeing how we bought the pears at the store they did not have any pokers... so all I had to do was peel them with a pairing knife. 2. Place peeled and chopped pears, seeds and all, in a pot with about 2 cups of water. 3.Boil about 30-45 mins until soft and smushy. 4. Strain pulp and the strain again to make sure all seeds are removed from juice and pulp 5. Combine the following ingredients in a pot 10 jalapenos (de-stemed, de-seeded, and pureed) I used my magic bullet 1 cup apple cider vinegar 2 cups prickle pear juice ¼ cup lemon juice 5 cups sugar 2 pkgs of powered pectin 6. Bring to Boil 7. Allow to boil for 10 mins. 8.Ladle into prepped jars, and place lids on hand tight 9. Place in water and bring to boil (ensure there is about 1-2 inch of water above the top jar) 10. Boil for 10 mins 11. Remove and let cool.... This is so great on top of Cream cheese with crackers ... But I think my favorite is just to put a dab on a burrito... Never thought I would like it that way until my big sis showed me, No turning back now
