Happy Mother’s Day! Fresh Ideas to Celebrate Mom
Friday, May 7th, 2010
Sunday is Mother’s Day! It is a great time to do something special to celebrate the mom in your life.
At a meeting yesterday, someone shared with me that they were going to make their wife a delicious breakfast with grilled asparagus, which got me thinking about how to celebrate mom with a fresh, delicious breakfast from the Farmer’s Market.
I’ve been going weekly to the Farmer’s Market at the College of San Mateo. Some of the fresh, local foods that I’ve been seeing include asparagus, strawberries, oranges, lemons, spinach, eggs, plus jams and much more. Here are a few recipe ideas to tap into the local ingredients available at the Farmer’s Markets near you: (more…)

It’s February… Happy New Year!
Friday, February 19th, 2010
Happy Chinese New Year that is! The 2010 Chinese New Year began on February 14th with the new moon and involves a host of festivities lasting approximately 2 weeks. Welcome the Year of the Tiger (see a traditional chinese papercut version of the tiger below). The Tiger is a sign of bravery and brings protection, courage and power. Sounds to me like a much needed sign for this recovering economy. If you are looking for ways to welcome this encouraging sign, you don’t have to look far! Here are some local ways to celebrate this Chinese New Year!

Roses are red, violets are blue – ideas for sharing the love with your Valentine’s
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
This Valentine’s Day is extra special as it is also the Chinese New Year. So bring in good fortune and celebrate with someone you love. Valentine’s Day doesn’t need to be super expensive to make it special or romantic. Sometimes it is as simple as a day at the spa, or an evening out on the town, even getting away overnight can feel rejuvenating and special.
