If you are looking for an alternative to soda, give this bubbly beverage a try! I know people who have kicked their soda habit by replacing soda with this drink.

Read MoreMy fondest memories of Hanukkah as a kid was sitting down to a meal of my mom's delicious Matzoh Ball Soup and Potato Latkes. I consider myself pretty fortunate not only growing up celebrating both Christmas (mom) and Hanukkah (dad), but also having a mom who is a really good cook!

Read MoreThe main flavor of Italian seasoning in this pâté reminded me of pizza, hence the name.

Read MoreSome people LOVE oranges. Me? I like the taste, but I'm not a huge fan of eating oranges whole. It's a bit too high maintenance for me with the peeling, seeds flying everywhere, juice on my hands and pulp that gets stuck in my teeth. So when oranges make their way into my kitchen, like in this week's CSA box, I use them to make old-fashioned, fresh-squeezed orange juice. It's delightfully refreshing on a hot summer day or after a sweaty workout, like a long run or hot yoga. I get an instant energy boost and the taste makes me feel like a kid again!
