Mushrooms, what are mushrooms? There are many different types of mushrooms. There are poisonous mushrooms and there are mushrooms used as medicine and some are used for food. The only types of mushrooms that I eat are the white button mushrooms, crimini known as baby bellas and portabella known a brown caps which I use for burgers.

¿Las setas, qué son setas? Hay muchos tipos diferentes de setas. Hay setas venenosas y hay setas usadas como la medicina y unos se usan para la comida. Los únicos tipos de setas que como son las setas del botón blancas, crimini conocido como el bebé bellas y portabella conocido unas gorras marrones que uso para hamburguesas.

As part of a vegetarian family, we eat a lot of mushroom. And I try it in most of my dishes as it does give a nice flavor. It takes the place of my meat and it never fails to make my vegetarian family members are very happy.

Como la parte de una familia vegetariana, comemos mucha seta. Y lo intento en la mayor parte de mis platos ya que realmente da un sabor agradable. Toma el lugar de mi carne y nunca falle de hacer que los miembros de mi familia vegetarianos sean muy felices.



You can have all three meals with mushrooms: dinner, breakfast, brunch, lunch and snacks.

Usted puede tener las tres comidas con setas: cenas, desayunos, brunch, almuerzos y meriendas.


Did you know that Mushrooms :
  •  Are the second most valuable fresh vegetable crop grown in Australia after potatoes. 
  •  Has as much fiber as a serving of lettuce
  •  are the only produce that contains significant amounts of selenium.
¿Sabías que setas:

  • Es el segundo más valiosa verduras frescas cosechas cultivadas en Australia después de patatas.
  • Tiene tanta fibra como una porción de lechuga
 Since each type of mushroom are different color and shapes, we can imagine that they would be rich in some nutrition than others. We can say that each mushroom are different.. Here are four that Andrew Weil, MD features on WebMD says are particularly good for you:



Por su puesto que cada tipo de setas tiene diferentes colores y formas, podemos imaginar que unos sería más rico en algunos nutrición que otros. Podemos decir que cada seta son distintas. A continuación se presentan cuatro que Andrew Weil, MD características de WebMD dice son especialmente buenos para usted:
  • Shiitake: Animal studies have shown that these flavorful and readily available mushrooms have anti-tumor, cholesterol-lowering, and antiviral properties. Weil recommends fresh and dried shiitakes.
  • Enoki: These slender, mild-flavored mushrooms appear to have significant anti-cancer and immune-enhancing effects, Weil says.
  • Maitake: Also known as 'hen of the woods,' these mushrooms may have anti-cancer, antiviral, and immune-enhancing properties. They may also reduce blood pressure and blood sugar, says Weil, who likes to grill maitakes with teriyaki sauce.
  • Oyster: Less expensive -- and less flavorful -- than shiitakes, these mushrooms may also provide some protection against cancer, Weil says.

Nutritious Peanuts #EnergytoBurn, #ad #LatinaBloggers

Disclosure: This is a compensated campaign in colaboration with Latina Bloggers Connect and The National Peanut Board.

Hello, Hola,



How are you all doing today? We are celebrating Hispanic Heritage month. Today I am sharing some information about a topic that is very important for my vegetarian family. My hubbie is a spaniard from the northern part of Spain, Galicia. Their cuisine is rich and distinct in flavor. He was a semi-vegetarian in his youth and as he matured he became a vegetarian. I must say at times to be nice to his cook, he does taste some desserts but not as often only on special occasions. I have had to implement the rich and distinct flavor into his vegetarian dishes. I must admit some vegetarian dishes are exquisite and have become our favorites. This style of cuisine has also helped my health as well which is greatly appreciated. To a healthier lifestyle.

¿Cómo se está haciendo hoy en día? Estamos celebrando el mes de la Herencia Hispana. Hoy estoy compartiendo información sobre un tema muy importante para mi familia vegetariana. Mi esposo es de la parte norte de España, conocido como Galicia. Su cocina es rica y distinta en el sabor. Él era un semi-vegetariana en su juventud y mientras iba madurando se volvió vegetariano. He de decir a veces para que sea agradable con su cocinera, el orador no degusta algunos postres, pero no tan a menudo sólo en ocasiones especiales. He tenido que aplicar el rico y diferente sabor en sus platos vegetarianos. Tengo que admitir algunos platos vegetarianos son exquisitos y se han convertido en nuestros favoritos. Este estilo de cocina también ha contribuido a mejorar mi salud, así que es muy apreciado. Para un estilo de vida más saludable.

As a mom juggling work, family and activities can take a lot out of us. More than ever, we need help to get through the day (or night) in our increasingly busy lives. We need the energy to fulfill the endless roles as a mother and what better to have but peanuts as our natural energizer.

Como mamá haciendo malabares con trabajo, familia y actividades puede sacar mucho de nosotros. Más que nunca, necesitamos ayuda para pasar el día (o noche) en nuestras vidas cada vez más ocupados. Necesitamos la energía para cumplir con los papeles interminables como una madre y qué mejor que para tener pero cacahuetes o mani como nuestro Energizante natural.



Peanuts is something we have as a snack, in breakfast, lunches and dinners. We enjoy having peanuts as it complements the food as well. We often have a container of raisins, peanuts and all types of fruits in our home as vegetarians are always nibbling on something. This can be obtained separate or together. Peanuts and peanut butter provide lasting energy and are a smart addition to your diet
any time of the day. It's also an affordable source of protein and really convenient--you
can take a pack with you or stir peanut butter in a smoothie, your oatmeal or yogurts.  It is quite healthy and filling with lots of energy. It enables us to juggle work and more family activities. Did you know with 7 grams per serving, peanuts have more energy boosting protein than any nut. Coupled with their more than 30 essential vitamins and nutrients, peanuts are considered a Superfood.

El maní es algo que tenemos como un bocadillo, en almuerzos y cenas. Nosotros nos gusta tener maní porque complementa la comida. Muchas veces tenemos un contenedor de las uvas pasas, los cacahuetes, y todos los tipos de frutas en nuestro hogar, como los vegetarianos siempre estan comiendo algo. Esto se puede obtener separados o juntos. También se incluyen estos en nuestros yogures y batidos. Es muy saludable y llena de mucha energía. Que nos permite compaginar el trabajo y las actividades de la familia. ¿Sabías que con 7 gramos por porción, el maní se mejora más energía proteínas de cualquier tipo de tuerca. Junto con sus más de 30 vitaminas y nutrientes esenciales, el maní es considerado una súper comida.




At home, we eat lots of peanut butter in many ways. One of our favorite ways  is to enjoy a Hot Dog Sandwich. This entails a hot dog bread, nutella and nuts of your choice or grated nuts.  Our little ones enjoy this as after school snack as well as lunch or dinner. It is always readily available, healthy and easy to make which makes us happy that they eat well.

En casa, comemos un montón de mantequilla de maní de muchas maneras. Una de nuestras favoritas es la de disfruta de un Hot Dog Sandwich. Esto implica un hot dog pan, nutella y las tuercas de su elección o rallado las tuercas. Nuestros pequeños disfruta de este snack en el almuerzo o la cena. Siempre es fácil de conseguir y fácil de hacer que nos alegra que comen bien.


I also use peanuts in my meal as protein and boost the dish to look beautiful and a really great flavor.
Here is one of my dishes that we like and either use meat or tofu, or simply enjoy the nutty flavor. Here is a little Spanish influence with a twist.

También utilizo cacahuetes en mi comida como proteína y alzar el plato para lucir hermosa y un gran sabor. Aquí está uno de mis platos que nos gusta y utilice carne o queso de soja, o simplemente disfrutar el sabor a nuez. Aquí está una pequeña influencia española con un toque.

Eco Nuts~~>Organic Laundry Soap #Fresh #Fluffy #Hypoallergenic #Biodegradable #Green



How are you all doing for the summer? Lots of activities and lots of laundry? I know with the kids around there are more work at home. The house is alive with activity, lots of laughter and some disagreements!

¿Cómo estan haciendo para el verano? ¿Muchas actividades y mucha lavandería? Sé que con los niños alrededor hay más trabajo en casa. ¡La casa está llena de la actividad, mucha risa y algunos desacuerdos! 


Well, I received a box with some items to review from Vitacost and one that I was very happy with was some organic laundry soap to wash those loads of laundry.  I was not very impressed when I saw some wooden balls in a box. I was really like "What is this supposed to do?" Really felt like it was a deal gone bad!


Bueno, he recibo una caja con algunos artículos para revisar de Vitacost y uno con el cual estaba muy contento era el de jabón de la lavandería orgánico para lavar aquellas cargas de la lavandería. No me impresioné cuando vi algunas pelotas de madera en una caja. Me sentí como '¿Qué es esto?' Sentí como un acuerdo se había ido mal!


Well, I was just as curious and got my laundry together and put them in the washing machine and away it went. I waited patiently to feel and smell the clothing. It was the longest 30 - 40 minutes I waited. Yes, I was anxious to see the result. Well, I was happy with the result. The clothing smelt fresh and it felt soft.

Bueno, era tan curioso y conseguí mi lavandería y los puse en la lavadora. Esperé con paciencia a sentir y oler la ropa. Eran los 30 - 40 más largos que esperé. Sí, estaba ansioso de ver el resultado. Bien, estaba feliz con el resultado. La ropa olió fresca y se sintió suave.

Next, was the drying, I was even more excited to find out if the softness would be there after drying. Well, I check that my wooden balls were there in the bag and put my clothing in the dryer. Well, as you know that takes about an hour. I went to do my housework and guess a post as well so I do not waste any time. I went to the laundry room to check my clothing. I decided to start folding immediately to see the result. I was definately impressed. It was soft as if I had put in softener. OH, I was very happy!!! These little wooden balls did a fabulous job. Eco Nuts are fragrance free, hypoallergic, biodegradable, non-toxic and kills odor.

Después, era secar, me emocioné aún más averiguar si la suavidad estaría allí después del secado. Bien, compruebo que las bolas de madera estaban allí en la bolsa y puse mis ropa en la secadora. Bueno, como ustedes saben que tarda aproximadamente una hora. Fui a hacer mi quehacer doméstico y supongo que un post así para que no perder tiempo. Fui a la lavandería para ver mis ropa. He decidido empezar a doblar inmediatamente para ver el resultado. Me impresionó definitivamente. Era suave como si me hubiera puesto en suavizante. OH, yo estaba muy feliz!!! Estas bolitas de madera  hicieron un trabajo fabuloso.





What are Eco-Nuts?

Eco Nuts are wild-harvested, meaning they are gathered from wild trees grown without any kind of chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides. The saponin actually tastes bad to insects so no pesticides are needed, and the trees naturally love poor uncultivated soil. They are organically grown by mother earth and certified USDA Organic by Oregon Tilth. Our soap nuts are both de-seeded and sterilized  - the only soap nuts on the market that are both! 

¿Cuáles son Eco-Nuts ?

Eco las tuercas son recolectados en el medio silvestre, lo que significa que se obtienen de los árboles que crecen silvestres sin ningún tipo de químicos, fertilizantes o pesticidas. 
La saponina realmente sabe mal a los insectos para ningunos pesticidas son necesarios, y los árboles naturalmente aman suelos pobres. Se cultivan orgánicamente por la madre tierra y certificados USDA Organic por Oregon Tilth. Nuestras nueces de jabón estan sembrado y esterilizada - las único nueces de jabón en el mercado son ambos!

I could not wait for the next set of laundry and I tested the texture against some other laundry soap. It really stood out with some of the best. I was happy and must say, it does help with allergic reaction. There are some laundry soap I cannot use for my children as they sneeze when they put on the clothing. Eco Nuts laundry soap does not get any reaction. Am very pleased with these little wooden balls.

Yo no podía esperar para el siguiente conjunto de ropa y he probado la textura contra algún otro jabón para lavar la ropa. Lo que realmente se destacó con algunas de las mejores. Yo estaba feliz y tengo que decir que es gran ayuda porque ayuda con la reacción alérgica. Hay algunos jabón para lavar la ropa que no puedo utilizar para mis hijos, que estornude cuando ponen en la ropa. Las tuercas jabón para lavar la ropa ecológica no obtiene reacción. Estoy muy contento con estas pequeñas bolas de madera.





Eco Nuts can be bought at the Eco Nuts Store online  and some retailer stores and at a very economical price. I certainly will always have my stock at home as there will be others who are curious. You will not find any surprises with these wooden balls.These balls are from the soap tree that are related to the lychee fruit. These dried berry shells come from the tree in the Himalayan region.  Eco Nuts are reusable until they start  to disintegrate. Definately a highly effective green alternative to man-made detergents.

Eco Nuts  se puede comprar en la tienda de línea Eco Nuts  y  en algunos tiendas minorista y a un precio muy económico. Seguramente siempre tendré mi reserva en casa como habrá otros que son curiosos. No encontrará ninguna sorpresa con estas pelotas de madera. Estas pelotas son del árbol de jabón que se relacionan con el lichi. Estas cáscaras de la baya secadas vienen del árbol en la región himalaya. Las Nueces de Eco son reutilizables hasta que comiencen a desintegrarse. Definately una alternativa verde muy eficaz a detergentes artificiales.

Disclosure: I received these products complimentary from Vitacost for testing purposes. No monetary compensation was received. All opinions above are 100% mine and not influenced by anything or anyone. Please do your own research when purchasing products, as your opinions may differ from mine.

Salads- is this my solution for the evening meal?¿ Ensalada- la solución de la tarde?

Hi everyone,
Hola a todos,

Been out of the kitchen for a while and sure is not the same. I have been trying to think of a solution for keeping lean. I am getting a bit lazy and well that is not a good idea if I eat late in the evening. So, have been thinking and a friend suggested salad and more salad. Would love to try all the salads, some are very enticing just by looking at it.

Estuve fuera de la cocina por un tiempo y ya no es lo mismo. He tratado de pensar en una solucion para adelgazar. Me estoy poniendo un poco vaga y no es una buena idea comer tarde. He estado pensando y una amiga surigio que ensalda y mas ensalada era la solucion. Me gustaria probar toda las ensaladas , algunas se ven sabrosas tan solo de verlas.

I love salads that have nuts in it, what kind of salad do you like? Send me a comment, it would be much appreciated, if you want to share a salad recipe with me, feel free!!!!

Me encantan las ensaladas con frutos secos. Me encantaria que me mandasen sus comentarios sobre que tipo de ensalada les gusta. Si desea compartir una receta de ensalada conmigo sientase libre de hacerlo.

Here is the salad recipe for the evening. Someone asked a question of what to use if there is a lactose issue. Ok can someone help me with this question? What could be improvise for cheese in a salad????

Aqui tengo una ensalada para comer en la tarde. Alguien me pregunto "que puedo usar en vez de usar el queso?" si hay alguien que sepa sobre esto , por favor enviar su comentario y poder contestar a la pregunta.

Method: Break up lettuce and place on plate
