Celebrate National Breakfast Month


By Leslie · Comments (0) · September 24th, 2012

School back in session means families are returning to the breakfast table. Or are they? The most essential meal of the day is also one of the most skipped meals of the day.

It’s time to change… Let’s take back breakfast. Did you know… According to the World Health Organization, breakfast-skipping has been linked to higher levels of smoking, alcohol and drug use, obesity and sedentary lifestyles. Even as vegans, we tend to reach for junk to compensate for missing fuel throughout the day. So I recommend breakfast options to give your body energy and your brain a boost.  If you don’t have time to cook, your blender is your best friend. I love a hearty breakfast smoothie with banana, strawberry, peanut butter, chia seeds and kale. Or I love a hot cereal with quinoa and oatmeal steamed in coconut milk and topped with blueberries.

Bottom line: don’t skip brekkie!

Pizzeria Bianco


By Leslie · Comments (5) · March 30th, 2011

If you follow me on facebook or twitter you know that I was just in Peoria, Arizona for baseball spring training.  It’s become a tradition in our family.  I’m a huge Padres fan and I’m slowly converting my husband : )  Pizzeria Bianco is named the number one pizza joint in the country on more lists than I can count.  It’s said to be a must if you are in the Phoenix area.  It’s right downtown.  Now it’s not the normal restaurant… they don’t take reservations and you are going to wait anywhere from 3-4 hours.  Yup, you heard me right.  Is the pizza worth it?  Check out this video to find out.
