So listen, when I was
in California for a while (because our transmission broke in Encinitas, CA)
I noticed the Californians went crazy over Acai bowls. I personally had become
addicted to tacos back in Texas and was struggling to be interested in any

up our van with my clutches and my husfriend’s photos and hustled for some
money all day.

for A&A’s blog. They’re super kind and have managed to create a beautiful
story for themselves with their blog, Green Kitchen
Stories. I have their Apps and their Cookbooks and
both are beautiful and inspiring, especially, if you, like me, have a lack of
internal drive when it comes to kitchen duties.

Honestly Healthy (Alkaline eating recipes, which I talk about here) and
Tash, who is one of the founders, posted this Green KitchenStories‘ acai bowl recipe on her own blog bringing added approval from both
admired communities. Thus i was convinced to try, in hopes I might hit
optimal health again by Christmas. I’ve adjusted it slightly to use fruit in
season, in France.
