  • Spent a little time yesterday cleaning up our beloved Ventura beach!🌊🦀🧜🏽‍♀️ A few weeks back I mentioned our family’s New Year’s Resolution to do weekly “Acts of Goodness”. This can be just about anything as long as it benefits someone or something outside of our immediate family. 💕So far we’ve sold tamales to raise money for Louisa’s school, written letters to family members who live far away, and last weekend spent some time picking up trash at our favorite beach.🏄🏻‍♀️ This whole idea was cooked up when my friends @JuicyJuiceUSA asked if I’d be willing to help them spread the word about their #JJShowYourGoodness contest. I thought what a perfect opportunity to implement a practice of generosity into our routine! Wanna know more about the contest? 😊For the past month, Juicy Juice has been collecting stories and photos of kids showing their acts of goodness. You can check them out at www.juicyjuice.com/showyourgoodness (link in profile), to read through the top 20 amazing good deeds and vote for your favorite(s)! Your vote will help determine which 10 incredible kids will win $1,500 to help further their goodness efforts! . . . #hugthemoment #thehappynow #thatsdarling #gathering #beautifulmatters #gatheringslikethese #theartofslowliving #juicyjuice #buzzfeast #ohheymama #instagood #feedfeed #documentlife #habitandhome #holajalapeno #socalstyle #pursuepretty #flashesofdelight #thepursuitofjoyproject #ventura #beachcleanup #venturabeach
  • 💕Happy Valentine’s Day!! 💕 I’ve made something spicy and sweet for my hunky husband @armandoramosiii with a little help from @donamariaus {ad}. They sent me everything I need: some fun Valentine’s Day cards, their delicious mole paste, a mole brownie recipe, and a fun heart-shaped pan to bake them in. 🥰 I adjusted the recipe a bit (see original recipe below) to make them #dairyfree. I used vegan butter in the brownie batter and instead of the chocolate ganache I topped them with toasted marshmallows, melted peanut butter drizzle, pink icing, and loads of sprinkles—and they are freakin’ delicious! 🤤 The mole paste adds a kick of chile heat, rich nutty undertones, and lots of warm spice. Hands down the sexiest brownies you will ever make. 🔥 Here’s how to make them: Melt ½ C butter and 4 oz unsweetened chocolate together. Beat 2 eggs in a mixer. Add 2 C sugar, 2 T @donamariaus mole original, 1t vanilla, 1t cinnamon. Mix well then add 1C flour. Pour into a greased 8x8 pan. Bake 25-30 minutes at 350°F. Let cool. To make the ganache, bring 1C cream to a boil. Pour over 1C milk chocolate chips, let sit 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth, let sit another 5 minutes. Spoon over brownies. . . . #holajalapeno #valentinestreat #cookingtips #makeitdelicious #foodwinewomen #mycommontable #fromscratchwithlove #brownieslover #foodwinewomen #eatingwell #myopenkitchen #ilovetocook #todayfood #chefsroll #foods4thought #imsomartha #gastropost #ilovetoeat #food4thought #inmykitchen #tastespotting #thekitchen #ventura #mole #chocolatey #molebrownies #venturacounty
