Last Sunday on my Instagram page, I launched a series called Diverse Story Sunday. Every Sunday for the foreseeable future, I will be posting a recipe inspired by a book with diverse characters. This is one of the ways that I hope to continue to use Bringing Up Foodies as a place for us to […]
It’s Memorial Day weekend here in the U.S., which unofficially marks the beginning of the Summer season. With 80+ degree weather, bike rides, and even a trip to our local beach, it’s definitely beginning to feel like Summer has arrived. To beat the heat this long weekend, we’ve already made this watermelon Italian ice twice! […]
I’m a complete chia pudding fanatic and love trying new spins on it, whether that means new flavor combinations or experimenting with different types of milk (coconut milk, almond milk, etc.).

My husband and I used to frequent a place that had this amazing dessert that was a tropical chia pudding, made with coconut milk and topped with pineapple, mango, and other fresh fruit. After falling in love with that dessert, […]
Growing up, I absolutely loved gummy candy. Gummy bears, gummy worms, gummy rings, you name it! That’s why I had been holding on to this idea of making my own gummies using real fruits and vegetables for a while, but every time I thought about it, I felt too intimidated to try. I haven’t had […]
