Pumpkin Ravioli + Butter Sauteéd Veggies
https://vimeo.com/462264332/c3a86cf75a It doesn’t feel like fall yet, but it IS officially pumpkin season! Very excited to try new things with all of the seasonal veggies. This weekend I tried these roasted pumpkin ravioli, and I was really craving simple sautéed veggies to go with instead of what I might usually use, which is marinara. It was delicious. I’ll spare you a long drawn out backstory and say that if you want to recipe, I’ve posted the video as a story pin on Pinterest. If you try it, please let me know! XOXO, Fifi Get the recipe

My New Book: Foods Your Body Loves
I’ve got a theme going now, and I think it will carry me throughout 2020. That theme is: We’re not sitting on ideas—we’re executing. So many of us have incredible ideas, but we have so many things keeping us from starting—fear, doubt, lack of confidence, lack of organization, etc. We might have great reasons for not beginning or putting off our plans, but I want you to remember that what you create isn’t just for you. It might be your vision, but that vision coming to fruition can change the lives of people you haven’t even met. I was talking to my sister to get some feedback, and trying to…

Cucumber Noodles with Avocado Pesto | The Divine Hostess
Hey healthy bunnies! Lately I’ve been feeling like I’ve been dragging my feet with keeping my flare ups in check. About 2 years ago, I found out that I had a laundry list of foods of which I was highly reactive to and it’s been a journey. When inflammation happens anywhere in the body, it is sort of like an alarm. Lately there has been a lot of medicine that reduces inflammation, but I am interested in understanding why it is there in the first place. I know certain foods, lack of sleep, and even emotionally tough times can cause my body to react poorly. As a result,…

In the month of January, a lot of people start the Daniel Fast on their own, or with their church. I’ve done it many times now, so I want to share some tips that have been very helpful for me.

How to Make Fettunta (Italian Garlic Bread)
Fettunta is of my favorite things to serve as a part of heavy appetizer or to go alongside a yummy stew during the wintertime. If you haven’t heard of fettunta, it is Italian version of garlic bread. It’s full of flavor, and you toast it until it’s crisp around the edges but still soft in the center. You will need: Bread Olive oil Garlic Baking sheet *The bread you see in the video is a bit of a unique color because I used kalamata olive ciabatta. 1. Slice garlic bread into 3/4 inch slices and place on baking sheet. 2. Drizzle or brush with olive oil. 3. Cook on broil…

The Mason Jar Cookie Company
Mason jars are still all the rave, and I love that this cookie company has used them in a fun and cute way! The Mason Jar Cookie Company sells mason jars filled with all the ingredients to make delicious cookies, and all you need to add is a few additional ingredients like eggs or butter. I made a video of my review, baking, and tasting the cookies. Absolutely scrumptious! They were nice enough to offer a free jar with cookie batter to one lucky subscriber! Check it out and enter! Good luck! xoxo Fifi

The FifiCakes Replay
I’ve always been kind of vlog-shy even though I’ve had a YouTube channel for two years now. I prefer the more scripted and choreographed cooking video, or a prepared quick talking one. Lately though, I feel more comfortable with the camera and as long as I’ve had a channel (and blog) I’ve come to call many of my subscribers friends! So, I’m happy to share more of my life. The FifiCakes Replay will be a recap of my weekend. Expect to see workouts, food, restaurants, people I hung out with, places I traveled and more. The schedule is every Monday at 4pm. Here’s the latest!

Mason Jar Berry Trifle
Is it just me, or are mason jars STILL all the rave?? I really thought this was a passing trend, but it looks like they are here to stay. I have to say, I am here for it! They are super cute and make food very portable. Of course, the original purpose of mason jars was to have an airtight container to preserve foods, but now they are used in so many instances. Many will be heading outdoors for 4th of July festivities and whether it is to the park, beach, or to a neighbor’s backyard barbecue, making dessert in these cute little containers come in handy. As for the…
