Fell in love with the flavor of the very versatile jackfruit this weekend... have you tried jackfruit before? If yes, how do you eat it and what are you favorite recipes? For those of you who don’t know about jackfruit, it is an exotic fruit grown in tropical regions of the world but it is native to Southwest India (official fruit of the Kerala state) It is part of the fig, mulberry and breadfruit family. Jackfruit has a spiky outer skin and is green or yellow in color. It is very large in size so it can feed a lot of people! It is the largest tree fruit in the world and can reach up to 80 pounds (35 kg) in weight. The flavor is sweet and fruity (reminds me of pineapple and banana) It has gained a lot of popularity recently, especially in western countries where the vegan movement has been booming. Vegans and vegetarians often use this fruit as a meat substitute due to its texture, which is comparable to shredded meat, and its neutral flavor so it can be prepared in sweet or savory recipes. Another major benefit is that since jackfruit is able to withstand tropical climates, it can be a major source of calories and carbs for people in developing countries who are at risk of starvation. The most commonly consumed part of jackfruit is the flesh, or fruit pods, which are edible both when ripe and unripe. It can be used in sweet and savory dishes, including desserts and curries. The seeds are also safe to eat when boiled, and taste like chestnuts. Check your local Asian supermarket to find it (though @traderjoes has a canned version that can be a good start). I am working on a couple of yummy recipes that include jackfruit, so stay tuned for jackfruit goodies coming up!
The mind is a powerful thing. When you filter it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change...
Can’t get enough of this... 🍊 #californiasuperbloom #superbloom #nofilter
End of winter immune-boosting smoothie! 🍊 Grapefruit season is in full mode and We were lucky enough to score a full bag of them from a friend’s backyard trees. We love eating them just like that but we had so many that I started getting a little more creative as to how to enjoy them all before they went bad. You might really my post about grilled grapefruits a few days ago, we also made excellent grapefruit martinis (I still owe you this post) and the last recipe is this delicious and refreshing smoothie, packed with vitamins and other goodness. Here is how I make it: 🌱 One grapefruit peeled and seeds removed 🌱 Two frozen bananas 🌱 One orange 🌱 One tablespoon of agave syrup or honey 🌱 Plant-based milk (I use almond). Blend everything in a high-speed blender and enjoy!
This is what a superbloom of wildflowers looks like... the video and photos don’t even do it justice. The first time I experienced this spectacular scenery was in 2017 and I was amazed by the scale and the beauty of the event. This year, the superbloom is topped by swarms of migrating painted ladies butterflies from Mexico who came to feast on the flowers, and the spectacle is just freaking insane! 🦋 I decided to leave my video and pictures unedited so you could get a raw glimpse of this magnificent event... Enjoy!
Always wandering...

Don’t know what to do with your grapefruits? (Especially when your friends bring you tons from their backyard trees...) First option on the list would be to make some killer grapefruit martinis 🍸 of course, but that recipe will come later... 😬 For a more kids-friendly recipe but still amazing, try to broil them! I know this sounds a bit odd but you will be surprised at how delish they are when cooked that way. Here is what you need to do: 🌱cut your grapefruit in half and place both pieces in an oven-safe dish 🌱cut around the edges of the fruit to separate the flesh from the rind so it is easier to pick up once it is cooked 🌱 add some brown sugar on top of the exposed fruit (2 or 3 tsp depending on your taste) 🌱 sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon or ginger powder (I love cardamom too!!!) 🌱 place the dish in the oven and broil for 15 minutes or until the sugar has caramelized. 🌱 remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes but eat while it is still warm... Simply delicious! Let me know if you try this and how you like it. Tag me in your pics too!
The first time I went to Monument Valley, I was completely overwhelmed by the sight of the majestic iconic red buttes... there is something about this place, that moves you to the core, especially if you are a desert lover like me... All your senses are in action: the burned smell of sand, the vibrant color of the earth (especially at sunrise and sunset) and the absence of familiar sounds. Just the wind and the occasional bird of prey... I have been there three times and I never get tired of it, each time making me love it even more and wanting to go back... Magical...
