R.J. Soria is an 11 year old boy who loves to play baseball and dreams of being a major league baseball player. Like all young boys, his dreams are big, but few are actually able to make them a reality. Well, for R.J. Soria his dream is quickly becoming a reality. His hard work has paid off, because R.J. Soria was one of two California boys selected for Team USA Youth Baseball.

The Latin American Baseball Classic (L.A.B.C.) will host teams filled with top national talent for 2012, and R.J. hope to be there representing the United States this August in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Since 1978 the L.A.B.C. has been attracting teens to represent the USA. From over 1500 youths at nationwide tryouts, the L.A.B.C. chose the top 15 players throughout the U.S. to fill Team USA. Among them is our own R.J. Soria!

I love smoothies because they’re easy, fast, and so simple to customize with your favorite flavors. Last spring I posted chocolate raspberry smoothie and tropical green smoothie (spring is clearly the start of smoothie season for me). This year I’m feeling a little more decadent, plus I’m still going through my Costco supply of Nutella, so I knew I had to try it – Nutella in a smoothie!... Read More

Eat, Write, Retreat Recap

Submitted by Stephanie Nuccitelli

Last weekend I attended my first food blogging conference, Eat, Write, Retreat, thanks to a sponsorship from Jarlsberg. I thought I would leave the conference bursting with ideas and dive into writing new blog posts, but I have found the opposite to be true. Instead, I’ve been reflecting on why I blog, what I think you (my readers) want out of my blog, and my vision for the future... Read More
