This Spicy Quick and Easy Jambalaya Recipe is No Match for Alka-Seltzer® PM Gummies!

I am unsure as to what prompted it, but over the last few years I have become positively obsessed with spicy food. Chili? Sign me up. Cayenne? I’ll sprinkle it on just about anything, thank you! While my previously bored taste buds are positively jumping for joy, I have to admit that spicy food comes with a few drawbacks, the main being that it has been known to leave me with occasional heartburn.

When I created this quick and easy jambalaya recipe for dinner a few weeks ago, I have to admit that I was initially reluctant to go heavy on the cayenne because there is nothing worse than being unable to fall asleep following a spicy meal due to occasional heartburn with sleeplessness. Thankfully, new Alka-Seltzer® PM Gummies came to my rescue! These delicious gummies make the perfect companion to any spicy nighttime meal, offering fast relief for occasional heartburn, all while providing melatonin to help whisk you off to sleep.

In case you missed the announcement, in the last two weeks, my husband and I have packed up our Hollywood life, loaded our two pups into our car, and road tripped the majority of the way across the country in search of a slower paced, more authentic life. We are now settling into our new home in Kansas City, Missouri splendidly just in time for summer fun!

Since I moved to Los Angeles in 2014, I had been completely without a yard, something this Pacific Northwest girl has struggled with greatly. Creating an outdoor space in our new home is of the utmost importance to me, which is why I am thrilled to partner with Kleenex and VIVA to share my tips for how to create your own backyard mecca along with my twist on a classic summer recipe for Gluten Free Sloppy Joe’s!

Tuscan Green Beans – A Holiday Side Dish

November 21, 2016

The recipe I’m sharing with you today is one that is particularly close to my heart. Originally my grandmother’s recipe, my mom made this holiday side dish every single year while I was growing up. Not only does it have a very unique tang to it that perfectly offsets the holiday sweets we consume each year, it’s also a gorgeous dish that compliments any holiday table.

Shrimp and Asparagus Stir Fry

April 26, 2016

File today’s recipe under the “dinners we eat once a week” category. Much like the oven baked salmon recipe I shared a few weeks back, this easy and healthy shrimp and asparagus stir fry makes an appearance on our table more often than I’d like to admit. Who can blame me for defaulting to it? It’s quick to whip up, offers an additional dose of vegetables and I just can’t get enough of the tangy combination of ginger, soy sauce and shrimp. Add in a crisp glass of white wine and an evening warm enough to dine on our balcony and you’ve got the recipe for a perfect spring night as far as I’m concerned.
