Green Juice Recipes and Vegetable Juicer Recipes | Juicer Recipes Now Mason Jar Zucchini Noodle Salads | Inspiralized Full disclosure: I’m writing this post at 10am. That’s 10am, today. Like, now. Last night, Lu and I went out to a restaurant in Chelsea called Toro. Fan-freaking-tastic. Anyway, I had full intentions on waking up early this morning to write this post. Let’s go back to Toro for a second. We ordered 8 tapas and sealed the deal with a chocolate dessert. Claps all around. Now that I’ve been honest, let’s get to the good stuff: the recipe! While I really really want to call this a “zalad,” I’m afraid to because a restaurant chain down south called “Zaxby’s” apparently has filed for or has a trademark on the word “zalad.” There are two trends that I’ve really wanted to try out: 1. 2. Unfortunately, I don’t own a microwave, so mug cakes aren’t in my future. To buy this large Kerr mason jar pictured in the images, click here. Today, we’re layering all sorts of healthy ingredients into a mason jar that’s perfect for meal prepping for the week or for bringing leftovers to lunch the next day. Step 6
Boulder Distillery in Boulder, Colorado and their Vootbeer — Recipe - Creative Culinary I was recently invited by Rob Masters, Distiller at Boulder Distillery and owner of Rob’s Mountain Gin to attend a monthly event that is held for folks in the hospitality and liquor industry in the Denver to Boulder corridor. It’s a very relaxed time to learn more about Boulder Distillery; try some of their products and get a close look at their operation. They take this unique step to introduce people to their small and thriving company that operates alongside a frontage road in Boulder, Colorado. Rob is also President of the Colorado Distiller’s Guild and a great resource for someone like myself who has become more and more aware of the growth of both distilled spirits and wines in our state and loves exploring the diversity we offer. Their facility could not be less pretentious. I was immediately struck by how warm and inviting this distillery is. The owners of the 303 brand, which includes both vodka and whiskey are Steve and Terri Viezbicke. DJ Blough, Sales Manager Friday Cocktails

Guest Post: Crockpot Chicken and Noodle Soup | Creatively Domestic This is a Guest Post from Beth at The Quilt Ladies. I know it’s very hot out, but sometimes hot or cold, I need comfort food. Growing up, my Grandmother C. lived with us on and off for years. She was a great cook and I loved her home-made chicken and noodles. Chicken and Noodle Soup 5 cups of chicken broth (boxed or can is fine) One 10.75 oz can cream of chicken soup 1/2 cup onions, chopped fine 1/2 cup celery, chopped fine 1/2 cup carrots, chopped fine 1/2 cup green onions, sliced One 15 oz can of whole kernel corn, drained Salt and Pepper to taste 1 1/2 cup Egg noodles 2 cups cooked chicken chopped or 2 cans canned cooked chicken Add everything but the noodles and cooked chicken to the crock pot on Low for 5-6 hours, the last hour turn on High, and add noodles and chicken. Here is another version of the recipe that I make: I boil 4 chicken thighs in about 8 cups of water, make sure they are cooked through. Cool, remove skin and bone and shred with forks. I like thighs. Thanks Beth!
Guest Post: Mason Jar Salads | The Paleo MamaThe Paleo Mama I am so excited to have my friend, Dusti, share her knowledge of making these convienent, beautiful, and frugal salads! Dusti is always showing off her beautiful pictures of these salads and I’ve been intrigued by them. I shared one of her pictures on my Facebook page and everyone LOVED them. Lots of people had questions about them…how to store them, how to stack the salad, how long they last…so I asked Dusti if she could share her wisdom with us all! Mason Jar Salads Thank you to my friend Jackie from “The Paleo Mama” for allowing me to write a guest blog post for her! Like most families, we continue to battle the “convenience” monster that hits the house between 11-1pm for lunch and 5-6pm for dinner. Having a 4-year-old son and a 2-year-old daughter can make prepping for meal times challenging. One thing I continued to see over and over again on Pinterest was these meals in a jar – specifically “Mason Jar Salads“. So one week I decided to give it a go. That’s it! 1. 4. 5.
