July 23, 2009

I just made these little raw canapes last weekend for friends. They were really yummy and cute. Rolling them up and tying them with the chive without tearing it – tricky! I had a few casualties which I had to sacrifice and eat but after the first couple, I had an assembly line [...]

I was putting up some wallpaper in my KaliLilla You Tube channel to match my new blog decor, when I fell into the YouTube time warp! You know when you start innocently watching one video and then you see a related vid that looks interesting, so you click on that, which inevitably leads to another, [...]

Ingredients:

2 medium sweet red bell peppers
1.25 cups walnuts (soaked 1-2 hours in water)
1/4 cup golden flax seeds (do [...]
