Sweet Debbie’s Organic Treats Allergy-Free & Vegan Recipes from the Famous Los Angeles Bakery – Cookbook Review

I love cookbooks. So when Debbie Adler, author of Sweet Debbie’s Organic Treats Allergy-Free & Vegan Recipes from the Famous Los Angeles Bakery, sent me a complimentary copy I was thrilled.   Debbie is the owner of Sweet Debbie’s Organic Cupcakes in L.A. If I’m ever in Los Angeles…I’m heading to that bakery for sure!   I like to read cookbooks almost like a novel…from front...

Food, Inc. – A Movie Review

I found the movie Food, Inc. at the library. I checked it out because I love learning about food and related topics. I also thought it would make for an interesting blog post. It was about a year ago that I actually watched this movie and wrote this immediately following. I’m just now posting it.

I find that sadly true. Another fascinating...

Roasted Colored Peppers

Ever try roasting colored peppers?  If not, they are yummy!  Sweet actually!    Not to mention that this is easy, peasy to prepare.  Simply slice open, take out seeds and slice into a few strips, toss with oil (and spices if you want, but not necessary) and roast in a hot oven.  I guarantee that you won’t have any left over.  Roasting peppers somehow brings out a succulent, sweet flavor...
