This chapter book charmed the socks off of me! Dolcey is so sweet, and loving! The story is relevant and moving. The illustrations are perfect for the story. I can’t wait for another Dolcey book!

While I was reading about Emily and Dolcey, I had the idea for this spiced apple oatmeal. You’ll understand why when you read this delightful chapter book.

Thrive Life – Versatile Tomato Powder

~ www.ginabriganti.com ~ Leave a comment

www.ginabriganti.com

I would love to hear what you do with your tomato powder. I use it all the time to add depth to my lunch-time vegetable bowls, veggie drinks and soups.

This is where you get tomato powder! Start with a pantry can if you don’t use a lot of tomato. If you like to make sauce, get a family can. Here is the landing page to a bunch of recipes using tomato powder.

In a few days we are launching ten new grocery choices you are going to love for those nights when you want good, healthy food, but haven’t been to the store and don’t want to go to the store. They take little preparation, but do not taste that way. You know what I mean?

There are new Snackies Singles coming your way, too!

Our new preferred customer program will give you free shipping on orders…

I Love My Fat Daddy!

That’s what it says on the back of the t-shirts worn by the busy, bustling staff at Fat Daddy’s, a family owned and operated BBQ spot in Redding, CA!

Do you think that you can’t have BBQ because you are a health foodie? I can respect that. I can also endorse having a plate of quality BBQ, heavenly beans and BBQ potatoes. You can get coleslaw if you haven’t had a salad yet before you answer the craving for smoky ribs, chicken or tri tip.

Try not to be too mad at the owners. Neither of them are fat. A testament to the fact that you can have your BBQ and your salad.

Now I know many of you aren’t close enough to Redding to treat yourself to a meal in the restaurant decorated by autographed dollar bills hanging from the ceiling and walls, but you can still taste…

My dear friends H.L. Carpenter just released a new cozy mystery titled, “A Cause For Murder: An Emma Twiggs Mystery”.

51QYxVGI8rL._SX311_BO1,204,203,200_

As part of their release tour a fellow author and friend, Sloane Taylor, posted one of the Carpenter’s most delicious recipes. You can see the original recipe here.

I know you’re foodies, and you may be wondering why I haven’t shown you how the Carpenter’s inspired me to make the most delicious crumble I’ve ever made. There’s a good reason – the Cozy Mystery genre. Cozy Mysteries often feature our favorite subject – food. For example, there’s a character in “A Cause For Murder” who tries his baking attempts out on our Emma. Sweet soul that she is, she is kind to him. He needs this recipe!

Fiesta Friday goers are going to love this

Made with freeze-dried strawberry slices and diced pears.

IMAG0044

I admit that I’m a cheater who plays it safe. My strawberries will never grow mold before I use them. I didn’t spend time washing or chopping the fruit. I simply measured and refreshed with water.

IMAG0045

Here’s my recipe:

1 1/4 Thrive Life strawberry slices, refreshed

3/4 Thrive Life diced pears, refreshed

1/8 tsp. Thrive Life Classic Lemonade powder

1/2 C. water

Combine the strawberries, pears, lemonade powder and water in a bowl. Refresh for at least 10 minutes while you make the crumble topping.

3 Tbsp. coconut sugar

2 Tbsp. Thrive Life Quick Oats

2 Tbsp. pecan pieces, chopped

2 Tbsp. gluten-free flour

1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 Tbsp. butter

Measure the sugar, oats, pecan pieces, gluten-free flour and pumpkin pie spice into a plastic bag. Shake to mix. Your little ones will like helping with this part. Add the tablespoon of butter and then close the bag. Knead the butter in until the topping looks like loose crumbs.

Bake It

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Butter the bottom of a glass baking dish.

Add the fruit mixture, then the crumble mixture.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the fruit is cooked.

 

Visit Angie and all of our Fiesta Friday guests for Fiesta Friday #179! Our co-hosts this week are Petra at Food Eat Love and Laura at Feast Wisely.

 

Feel free to visit my Thrive Life website to order your own strawberries, pears, classic lemonade powder and quick oats. You won’t believe how versatile, delicious and convenient our groceries are!

Raspberry LemonSpritzer

I’m bringing my Raspberry Lemon Spritzer to Fiesta Friday this week because every summer party needs tangy, refreshing drinks! Please join us at the party. Our co-hosts this week are Monika @ Everyday Healthy Recipes and Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook.

Refreshing Chocolate & Raspberry Frozen Treat – Guilt Free!

~ www.ginabriganti.com ~ 7 Comments

Dairy-free Chocolate Raspberry Frozen TreatI read Fiesta Friday every week to drool over lots of talented contributions, promising myself that I will bring a dish worthy of the fiesta. Today is the day! I hope you’ll visit Fiesta Friday #175 to see the features and next week’s entries.

This week’s hosts are Monika @ Everyday Healthy Recipes and Suzanne @ A Pug in the Kitchen.

 

Recipe:

1/2 Cup Thrive Life banana slices, refreshed and then frozen

1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder

1 Tbsp. Thrive Life raspberries in their freeze-dried form

Add all three ingredients to the blender. Use the blend button, stopping to move chunks down, until you have creamy, frozen deliciousness.

Now you can taste and adjust if you want more chocolate or raspberry flavor. I shared what tastes good to me.

Eat immediately or freeze for later. This is enough for one person.

If you haven’t played with freeze-dried foods, you are going to be so surprised! They are packed with flavor, color and versatility. They chose my recipe for the site, too! So exciting!

See you at the fiesta!
