vivacadairy cheese sauce

Being a California girl has brought me lots of pleasure in life--but lately I've been really happy to see the "Real California Cheese" and "Real California Milk" seals on our products! (You can see the seals below) I had the opportunity to gather some Real California dairy products, and make something delicious. I had a hard time trying to figure out what I would make...but in the end I decided to go with a classic: Macaroni and Cheese, so I made a delicious homemade cheese sauce that used both Real California Milk and Real California Cheese. The reason I chose this sauce to make is because it is so easy to make, it only takes about 10 minutes--and it is all good … [Read more...]

Back in December I posted a fun recipe using Soy Oil, those Triple Berry Pancakes were so good. Not that I've been incorporating soy into our daily routines for about a month I'd love to share my top five soy recipes that I am dying to try in the near future. Even though I've been on a diet, it seems like the food I've been cooking soy for Zoey have been a huge hit. She's even been eating the leftovers! That is almost unheard of. You may applaud me if you'd like, but I don't mind if you don't want to. ;) Here we go, my top five 'to cook' soy recipes: Soy Turkey Chili Chili is one of those things I grew up loving and looking forward to every year, especially … [Read more...]

Soy Oil Triple Berry Pancakes

I've mentioned before of certain ways to make your favorite foods in a healthier fashion, and this is another way to do so! I can name so many recipes that use oil as a main ingredient. In fact every person I know has oil stocked in their cupboards because of how often they use it. We make some great things with oil whether we are frying some chicken legs or making a birthday cake. How can you make it healthier? Try using soy oil, a healthier alternative to many oils on the market today. Did you know Soybean oil has the following better-for-you health benefits: 0g trans fats per serving. Great source of Omega-3's, which help reduce blood pressure and prevent … [Read more...]

I can't believe it's not butter chocolate chip cookies-6

The holidays are the time of year where baking is a necessity. I've always loved it. I grew up watching my mom make batches upon batches of goodies--she would make everyone from fudge to cookies to jalapeño cheese bread (which is my favorite!) Now, we all know that eating all of the amazing goodies made for us this time of year aren't the most health conscious foods. But cant we make them better? Yes, we can by baking with one of the soft spread brands instead of butter (Country Crock, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter) in our recipes. I have one I made to show you today, and I bet you're going to be inspired to whip up your very own batch when you're done … [Read more...]

Mazola® Sobrecitos™ Chicken Egg Drop Soup

 We have a very unique palette in our house, we go from asian inspired dishes to my mother-in-laws delicious Peruvian cuisine. It doesn't matter what type of food we are cooking, bouillon has always been a staple. We use it in everything from soups to rice dishes, and believe me when I say we always have a pretty good stock pile in our pantry--we hate nothing more than preparing to make dinner and finding out we're all out of bouillon. Especially when I want to make Egg Drop Soup! Mazola® Sobrecitos™ is different from the original cubes, though, they dissolve instantly but keep the same great taste. Talk about making our lives easier in the kitchen! Mazola® … [Read more...]

When you fancy something a little bit different for an after dinner treat, there are a lot of choices available to you. Only one thing will ultimately tickle your taste buds though. Which is why it's always a good idea to make your own treats on the day. That way you're making a fresh version of what you desire. On this particular instance, I was distracted from a cheeky game of bingo by a craving for something minty. The usual route I would go down is creating a mint chocolate brownie, or adding essence to a muffin. This time however, I figured you could do just as well with a mint infused cookie. 5.0 from 1 reviews Print Mint Chocolate Cookies … [Read more...]

I adore the Weight Watchers program, and I've been dying to make a dessert for a while now (my sweets cravings are normally what ruin my diet.) I decided to make the Weight Watchers Friendly Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing. An old classic. Weight Watchers Friendly Carrot Cake I put my carrots in my ninja until finely chopped, the ninja didn't get it as small as I'd like so you might actually want to grate yours.

Summertime might make us all sweat and want to stay indoors, but one of my favorite things about summer is enjoying the icy fresh beverages that give a little boost to my energy supply. My husband and I have whipped up a delectable blended coffee beverage for all to enjoy. It is simple (only 6 ingredients!), quick to make, and will help keep you cool during the blistering heat. What I love most about this drink, is its ingredients are staples in many households and can be created on a whim in only a matter of minutes. If you are watching what you eat like I am, using lite chocolate syrup and a healthier vanilla ice cream can really help you keep slim for … [Read more...]

My family loves to eat!  Whenever we have a get-together food  is at the center of the event.  Perhaps it’s the Hispanic culture that tends to feed an army most of the time but, nonetheless, there is always more than enough to eat.  Typically we have appetizers and a fantastic main-course spread, but what I oftentimes find lacking are the dessert options.  Not that we don’t have any, they’re just usually purchased at the supermarket. This weekend I decided to change that.  My sister recently moved into her new home and invited the family over for dinner.  I decided to surprise the clan by bringing dessert – homemade dessert.  Practically a novelty in … [Read more...]
