GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD Morning My Beautiful Readers!!!

<Sigh> ... To give you a visual, I am still in bed, listening to Bach- (must concentrate)-while I turn out another delicious and NUTRITIOUS blog post for y'all! Heck, I even took a photo of myself so you can really see where Mrs. Daily D is coming from today 

HeIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIo Kittens!

Alrighty now, there is no time to waste! 'Tis the time to introduce my Two MOST FAVORITE 

SUPERFOODS!!!

But, before I go ahead an launch into My faves, it's important that I define "Superfoods" for ya, because I know there is, at least some confusion and fogginess swirling around the idea.

So, listen up, Buttercups!

su·per·food / ˈsoōpərˌfoōd/

• n. (not in technical use) a natural food regarded as especially beneficial because of its nutrient profile or its health-protecting qualities.

Translation: A natural WHOLE food that is jammed with NUTRIENTS! Specifically, phyto-nutrients-(give plants & fruits deep dark colors), and micro-nutrients (nutrients the body needs, but cannot produce itself).

Superfoods can range anywhere from super nutritious fish, like wild-caught salmon, but primarily consist of plant-based, produce like acaí, pomegranate, blueberries, kale, etc.

BUT... 

I'm going to share two that aren't as talked about, and that usually prompt head-scratching... So, you too, can begin to enjoy and reap the outrageous benefits of these AH-MAZING Superfood Gems!

• Raw Cacao Nibs, and Powder: Cacao is chocolate in it's raw, unprocessed, au natural, form! Benefits of raw cacao are HUGE, in comparison to processed chocolate, because it's considered a living food, and thus, still has it's enzymes-(aids body with digestion, and promotes proper functioning of all cells in body)....Well that's fabulous and all, by why, you wonder is cacao/chocolate so great for us?!?! Well, it's packed with THE MOST antioxidant-flavanoids than any other food tested so far - including blueberries, green & black teas, and red wine!

So how can YOU use this deliciousness?!?! Well, you might have remembered me jingling off 'cacao powder and nibs' as ingredients in my beloved "Banana Blends' Vlog --> http://bit.ly/x4duv3 But, if you don't, no sweat! As a refresher, it's basically a shake! So I especially LOVE to use cacao powder and nibs in my shakes and smoothies! (so I can benefit from the raw properties) But, I also add the nibs to oatmeal, and sprinkle them on celery and peanut butter, which is AH-MAZE! And you can use them for baking, cooking, etc.! It's divine any way you cut it, Bunnies! ...Moving on...

• Maca Powder: Maca is a SUPER root that grows 10,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains (Perú). It has a very distinct smell/taste, and becomes addicting the more often you eat it! It has  actually been used for centuries by Native American holistic healers to do the following: enhance libido, and fertility in both men and women. Increase energy, stamina, and endurance (great for athletic performance!). Improve mental clarity, focus, and eyesight. Promotes faster muscle recovery, and boosts metabolism and immune system. It also helps treat PMS for ladies! I mean, what doesn't Maca do?!?! With just 1 teaspoon a day, it can make the world a difference for you! Again, I love to enjoy mine in my Banana Blend shakes, and smoothies, but they recommend you take it with juice (fresh pressed) and or coffee.

What are you waiting for?! NOW is the time to get your bod & mind SUPA-DUPA-FLY with these kinda-secret SUPERFOODS! You can order them: 

• Online, I love Go Hunza --> http://www.gohunza.com/index.php 
• In stores --> Whole Foods, Mother's Markets, any other health food grocery store should have it!  

That's all my juice for today, Lovers! It's time to get this (now pancake) booty OUT of bed, and off POWER WALKING outside in beauuuuuuutiful , sun-shiny, CALIFORNIA!

PEACE & BESOS 

Mrs. Daily Dubie xoxo

Well HELLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Sweet Brothas & Sistas!

How are we all feeling today? IT'S WEDNESDAY! So that should give you some boost in mood & energy, as you anticipate the weekend's festivities, or lack thereof.  C'mon Peeps! Let's get

PUMPED-the heck-UP!

...whether it's for something, or nothing at all...the WEEEEEEEKEND is a comin' and that's reason enough! Even though I don't work a normal 9-5 office job, I STILL very much look forward to sleeping in (I get this booty out of bed at 7 during the week days!) , indulging in bad TV, being lazy (I usually avoid the gym), and throwing back a cocktail or two.  It's our moment just BE. To unwind. To chill out. To break rules. 

...and speaking of "breaking rules," that is something I try to do a little of each and every day. Kimosabe said what?!? Yeah, you heard me! As I mentioned in my previous Fun Friday Vlog http://youtu.be/E-nOhz8J4fE I would rather have a little fun, than stay super regimented, and it works for me! So, (almost) every night, I like to indulge in a sweet treat -- whether it be a homemade cookie I baked, some sexy dark chocolate, or "healthy" PB cup. But, there's a catch here, folks...With the exception of the store-bough chocolate and special occasions  (although I do make sure I buy super high quality dark-I'll share my faves at end of post!)

I Will Only Eat What I Bake!

When I bake myself, I can control EXACTLY what's going into my body (and my cookies!), and you can't beat anything that's fresh out the oven !  Here are ways I infuse my sweet treats with nutrition:

• Use Oat Flour, NEVER refined white flour. (Sometimes WHOLE WHEAT PASTRY or BAKING FLOUR)
• Add Oatmeal, Chia or Flax seeds to add texture
• Use pureed banana or pumpkin in place of egg (but I still use egg in certain recipes)
• Use very little butter or oil, except for in specific recipes where removing would result in nastiness. *Side Note: In recipes that do call for butter, I 1/2 it. I also sometimes replace dairy butter with coconut oil, which has a very rich and buttery flavor-it's delicious in baked goods!*

Some Favorite Store Bought Sweets:

• Chip 'N Dipped Chocolate Bars --> http://www.chipndipped.com/html/nutritional_information.asp​

• Emmy's Organics (LOVE the Dark Cacao Macaroons)​ --> http://emmysorganics.com/

Now, this is all fabulously delicious information, but you might be scratching your head, wondering why I've entitled this post as "Holy Frosting Balls..." when in fact, there's been no speak of "frosting balls."

Well, lovers, THIS is why:

MMMmMMmmMMmm My mouth is watering at the mere glance of this concoction! I found a recipe for "Frosting Shots," on this super cute blog, Chocolate Covered Katie http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/01/16/chocolate-frosting-shots//--> 

The beauty of this recipe was:

• It took ZERO time to make (minus the time you need to let coconut milk sit uncovered in fridge overnight
• It's dairy free, vegan, & gluten free
• It's SUPER RICH, so a very small amount will more than satisfy!

​

I wanted to dig right into mine, so there was no fussing with piping, or whipping, so BALLS it was!  And enjoyed my Balls, I did! It's also important to note that I used 2 tsps of raw sugar to sweeten, and added some choc chips to really have some fun! 

So if you're craving the following:

• Frosting
• Chocolate
• Ice Cream
• Mousse

These frosting shots are a GOLDEN TICKET, indeed!

That's a sweet wrap on today's post, Pumpkins! It's been real...

PEACE, LOVE, & BESOS 

xoxo, Mrs. Daily Dubes

Good Afternoon & Good Eve My Precious Bundles of Love! 

I must admit, I'm not yet in my "Let's chat Organic vs. Conventional" element, because I (FINALLY) received the *Most Special* surprise EVER in the mail...

Here is PROOF that I not only have the most BEAUTIFUL niece & nephew in the Universe, but they're also the 

SWEETEST, most thoughtful little munchkins alive!!!

They made & sent their Auntie Lola the most Beaaaauuuuuuuuuutiful pieces of art I've ever laid my eyeballs on!

Move over Miró, Matisse, & Picasso...It's time to make way for some SuPerB abstract expressionism by

Ella Claire & Maximiliano Jr.

It should go without saying that these two masterpieces are hanging up LOUD & PROUD in the Casa. 

<Sigh> ...I feel so lucky, & so LOVED! 

Now that I went gangbusters over my darling niece & nephew, I can move forward with the HAPPS of the EVE:

Buying Organic vs. Conventional

I find that for many people, the only difference they see between the two, starts with a "C" and ends with a "T" (answer: COST), am I right?! Many can't fathom spending an extra couple bucks on strawberries, when they can get the "same" thing much cheaper. Sound familiar?! The good news is that I'm RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, ready to enlighten your buns on this very matter, so listen up!

I'm going to preface by saying that ENTIRE books are written about this, because anything having to do with the food industry is maddeningly complex these days, so despite a great plethora of information on the topic, I'm going to keep it real, and serve things up nice & SKINNY for ya!  (Ode to Bethenny Frankel....xx). 

What Does Organic Actually Mean?

In essence, Organic used to be the way ALL FOOD on this earth was. Untouched, whole, and natural. But because the food industry today is a a profit-driven money suck, sh*t has literally hit the fan. Animals and produce are pumped & sprayed with all sorts of nasty, so that they grow faster, and bigger, so that farms can produce & sell more product = Make more Dolla Dolla Bill$!

Thank goodness, we've wizened up, and now have the OPTION to buy healthy, high quality product.

<Enter: ORGANIC>

According to www.sustainabletable.org, the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture), all organic agricultural farms & products must meet the following guidelines:

• Abstain from the application of the following prohibited materials for at least 3 years prior to certification, and then continue throughout their organic license:synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, & sewage sludge).
• Prohibit the use of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms)
• Farms must employ positive soil building, conservation, manure management & crop rotation practices
• Provide outdoor access and pasture for livestock
• Refrain from injecting animals with antibiotics & hormones
• Animals are sustained on 100% organic feed
• Avoid contamination during the processing of organic products
• Keep records of all operations
• Prohibit the use of hydrogenated and trans fats

BUT, it's not that black & white...

• When a product wears the seal "USDA Organic," it doesn't always mean it's 100% organic! It must say "100%" on the label! 

• The USDA Organic seal usually means that 95 to 100 percent of its ingredients are organic. 
• Products with 70 to 95 percent organic ingredients can still advertise as being "organic," but without the USDA seal.
• Products less than 70 percent organic ingredients, can only include the list of "organic" products within the standard nutrition label.

Here's Why I Recommend Going Organic:

• Keep chemicals & other pollutants off your plate!
• It tastes better! As if this is a surprise! Organic products aren't stripped of their flavor because they're not tampered with, like conventional sorts.
• By starting to eat organic now, you're paving the way to healthier future for kids! Some conventional products are sprayed with cancer-causing pesticides, that could be detrimental after years of consumption.
• Save the Environment! Because organic farms have to follow such a strict regimen to keep their soil healthy, that in turn keeps the water more pure. It also saves an immense amount of energy! According to Whole Foods Market and the Organic Trade Association, more energy is spent on producing synthetic fertilizers than actually tilling, cultivating, and harvesting the crops!

With that said, it isn't absolutely necessary that you go gaga, and buy all organic 100% of the time, because you and I both know that is not always an option, however here is a GREAT reference list to help you prioritize what you DO buy organic, and what you don't. (Source: http://www.ewg.org)

Try to Buy These ORGANIC: (Most Contaminated)

• Peaches
• Apples
• Bell Peppers
• Celery
• Nectarines
• Strawberries
• Cherries
• Pears
• Grapes
• Spinach
• Lettuce
• Potatoes

You Don't Always Have to Buy These ORGANIC:(Least Contaminated)

• Onions
• Avocado
• Bananas
• Frozen Sweet Corn
• Pineapples
• Mango
• Asparagus
• Frozen Sweet Peas
• Kiwi
• Cabbage
• Papaya
• Broccoli

<SIGH> ... That was a WHOPPER!

...and we barely scratched the surface! Oy Vey!  I hope that I've cleared the air for ya a bit on the matter, so you can go to sleep tonight with a better understanding as to why buying Organic really is worth it! 

Wham! Bam! Thankyouma'am!

I'm outta here, Luvahs! It's been REAL, as always...

Big Kisses To ALL!

Mrs. Daily D xoxo 

What's up Lover Dovers?!?!

I know it's been a few, but Mama Daily Dubes has had a LOT cookin' in her kitchen!  (All to YOUR benefit, of course!) ....

While I wish I could blog up a storm right here, right now, I only have a small window of time to bang one out for ya reeeeeaaaaal quick! ....BAM!

Let's get down to the dirty business then, shall we?!? ...(business is not so dirty, but inserting"dirty" gave it a nice jingle).

<ENTER>

MY HOMEMADE ALMOND MILK!

HECK-to-tha-YEAH!!! 

Truth be told, I haven't tried it yet, but it smells YUMMY in MY TUMMY! I cannot WAIT to try it in my Banana Blends! Now, you might wonder why I decided to try my hand at homemade Almond Milk, and the primary reason behind this decision, is due to the fact that: 

the packaged almond milk I regularly buy at the grocery store contains many ingredients, some of which I cannot pronounce,

which is totally against my religion---Okay, that's a slight exaggeration, HOWEVER, I am a MAJOR STICKLER when it comes to buying QUALITY foods! 

• I usually stick with whole, unprocessed, & unrefined, and in the event I reach for a packaged food, there must be as few ingredients as possible, and they must be pronounceable, whole, & healthy to boot!
• IF there are a LOT of ingredients, and you can't understand a lick of what's listed, DROP IT & RUN the other way as fast as you can! Skedaddle! Because...

When in doubt...Keep things REAL, My Friends!

So...I went ahead and broke out the dreaded <sigh> food processor that takes eons to clean (I'm hoping to get my hands on a shiny new VITAMIX soon- cough cough-Birthday gift?!), but it was WELL WORTH it, because now I have myself some

PURE + RAW + HEALTHY Milk!

Here is how it's done, People!

1. Soak 9 oz. RAW, unprocessed almonds in 6 cups of water for 18-24 hours in refrigerator.
2. Pour water + almonds into food processor
3. Optional: Add a little Agave and Vanilla Extract to sweeten (1 tsp-ish)
4. Blend for 90 seconds....annddddddddd

Voila!

You should have yourself some frothy, fresh Almond Milk!!! Yes, It's THAT EASY!!!

Aight, I've got to run! ...There's so much more to come in the next few days!!! GET. EXCITED!

WARM HUGS & KISSES! 

xoxo,

Mrs. LDC xoxo

P.S.: Get ready for VLOG NUMERO TRES in two days, Luvahs!!! This week will feature a "FOODIE FRIDAY" post! That's right! I'll be inviting you into MY KITCHEN!  

Hello There My Precious Love Buttons!!!

...Do you know what time it is?!?!?! ....(reply with a resounding....)

. * . * . C o O k i E   T i M e . * . * .

...But not just any cookie time...

CHRISTMAS COOKIE TIME ! ! !

Cookies here! ...

                                ...Cookies there! ....

                                                   Christmas Cookies are EVERYWHERE!!!

At least in Casa de Constantiner they are!!!

So the FIRST OFFICIAL batch of cookies that yours truly whipped up, were Mama J's Spritz Cookies! --> http://dailydubie.com/S=4baa86b27cfba0d7440f37b622ea59fe34e68d26/post/a_fancy_schmancy_affair_to_remember...hopefully

We already know those were a WILDLY SUCCESSFUL...So let's take a look at my Freshest Batch:

The Gingerbread Men ...with hearts & candy canes 

I forgot that these guys are more involved than standard cookies- they require dough chilling time (1+hrs), so they took longer than expected - and were a bloody workout to roll out & cut! Oy vey! But after breaking a sweat, I managed to get these babies BAKED! ...and boy were they good! I LIVE for a spicy, molasses cookie! MMm Mmm good!

and SURPRISE! ***SPOILER ALERT!*** ...

These aren't just butter, sugar, and flour...I managed to squeeze in SOME nutritional value by substituting the All-Purpose white flour, for White, Whole Wheat Baking Flour! BAM!

Without further ado, I'm going to show you just what these Gingerbread Men are made of!

RECIPE: Derived from @FitSugar

Ingredients

2 cups white, whole wheat baking flour
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground clove
1 cup granulated sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
3/4 cup dark molasses
1 large egg, at room temperature

Directions

Combine flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, and clove in a large bowl. Whisk to aerate and break up any lumps; set aside.
Combine sugar, butter, and molasses in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until fluffy and light, about two minutes.
Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl, add egg, and mix until incorporated. Add dry ingredients and mix on low speed until moist throughout, about two minutes. Turn dough onto a dry, clean surface, divide in half and form into flat disks, cover in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, at least one hour or up to three days.
Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Place half of the dough on a lightly floured work surface and roll out to 1/4-inch thickness.
Cut dough into three-inch round cookies and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather remaining dough into a ball and place in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before re-rolling.
Bake cookies until edges are brown but centers are still soft, about eight to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly on the baking sheet (about two minutes), then remove to a rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.

...And now, for the MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION:

What Will Be My Next Cookie Conquest?!?!?

I welcome your ideas! Give me somethin' to ponder, Brothas & Sistas! 

Aight, I'm out for now Peeps! I need to be a good Wifey & cook us some DINNAH! Nom nom!

Love,

Mrs. LDC* xo 

Good Morning!

What's up, Buttercups?!

We have ourselves a gloomy, rainy day here in Manhattan...But I'm here to bring you 

A Daily Dose of SUNSHINE!

That's what I'm talkin' about! Despite the far from beautiful weather, the day is still BRIGHT in the eyes of of Mrs. Daily Dubes! 

First on the agenda, is BREAKFAST TALK!

I've been avoiding this lately, because you would be in for nothing more than a snooze-fest. You see, my breakfast hasn't changed a whole lot in weeks past.

I've been pretty loyal to exclusively consuming My Banana Blend Obsessions --> http://dailydubie.com/S=8d83e3101bed9c00056c0d0f3257b842249bb65a/post/almondmilkshake....day after day...week after week.  I can't help it. It's like having "ice cream" for breakfast...Need I say more?!?!

BUT!!!....

Today was different. I opted to cook me some good 'ole fashioned oats! 

With...

• 1.5 T 100% Pure Maple Syrup
• 1.5 T Chia Seeds
• 1 tsp Cacao Nibs
• Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
• Pinch of Cinnamon 
• 5 Walnuts

DE- LISH!

...Before I bow out for the day, check out these ECO-FRIENDLY TRAVEL items I just bought at The Container Store:

And AMEN for this discovery!!! Now I don't have to plow through an infinite number of Ziplocks. Fewf!

Featured: Sandwich Bag, Snack Bag, & Travel Cutlery!

And BAM!  ...Filled with almonds already! (I never leave home without them!)

That's a wrap, Lovers!

Happy Tuesday!

Muchos Besos Para Tú!

Love,

Mrs. LDC  xo

Now, let's TALK BUSINESS! MY Business!

Mrs. Daily D 

My Dollios, Precious Eyeballs, Pumpkin Pies! ....

Mrs. Daily Dubes is BACK!

Can I just say that I am so THRILLED to finally be talking to all of your gorgeousnesses. I miss you when I travel ...Expression Engine really needs to get with the program and come out with an app that will allow me to Daily Dubie-fy in an appropriate manner, i.e. with excessive use of photos, emoticons, font sizes, bolding, italicizing, etc. - It is MY LANGUAGE after all. My SAUWCE! ... and a post without it, my friends, is just not a post at all ...Technical annoyances aside, let's stay ON TARGET, and be thankful that we're right here, right now.

<Sigh>.

Can you believe that were are just one week away from Thanksgiving?!?! It's madness! Madness, I tell you! I am SUPER jazzed, because tomorrow I am taking a fancy dancy cooking class with renowned chef, Pamela Morgan. --> http://www.pamelamorgansflavors.com/ Chef Daily Dubes is going to attend with bells & whistles ready to get her cooking-on! If I can take photos - I will! I have actually never taken a cooking class before, so this is a first. I'm not sure what I'm in for, but considering Pam's reputation (we're already on a first name basis, and she doesn't know it) it should blow me away with fabulousness! Stay tuned for a debrief.

While we're on the subject of FOOD & COOKING, let's check out my amazing-hit-the-spot lunch that my 4-year old niece could make.

Deconstructed Peanut Butter & Raisin Sandwich

It's amazing how a title can really SAUWCE things up! (LOL - I have to credit my husband for my newfound obsession with the word "sauwce" - he's been a sauwce-saying animal recently, and it rubbed off. <Shrug> It happens...annnnnnnnd it really IS boatloads of fun to yell out "sauwce!" Go on. Try it! Sauwce-ing will make you smile!

In all reality, we're looking at two pieces of Food For Life Cinnamon Raisin bread, toasted, and smothered in Peanut Butter. Not rocket science, here. Easy as pie.

More often than not, it's the simplest of things I get the most pleasure out of eating. No frills. No nonsense. Straight up....because...

I'm keepin' it real, dolls. Keepin' it real. 

*Bonus points for who can guess the movie* 

I have to wrap things up now, my Loves, because I just spent close to 30 minutes doing a MAJOR post on the importance of Eating Seasonally & Locally, only to lose the WHOLE ENCHILADA with the accidental press of a button - Needless to say, I'm FUMING, and would like very much to punch the living daylights out of something!...But I need to take my own advice and just breathe, walk away, and bake some cookies for chrissakes. 

We have one MACK DADDY post to look forward to tomorrow!  The power of positive thinking.

I'm out for now Dollfaces.

Hugs & Kisses,

Mrs. LDC* xoxo
