Today, the League of Extraodinarily Exotic Fruits and Vegetables inducts the pepino melon! Small in size, but very pretty, it tastes like a cucumber/cantaloupe hybrid. Just peel, slice and serve! The seeds are edible. :-) the ripest ones are yellow! #picstitch #pepinomelon #strangefruit #eatclean #paleo #whole30 #glutenfree #melon #lilybearbakery #leagueoffruitsandveggies

Chloe the Conqueror does not care at all that there are things baking in the kitchen. So much for that "canine alarm clock" idea... #dogsofinstagram #sleepingdogs #chloetheconqueror #lilybearbakery #labmix #blacklab #shepherdmix

Today, the League of Extraordinarily Exotic Fruits and Veggies inducts the cherimoya! This delicious fruit has a custard-like texture with a sweet strawberry-pineapple flavor. Occasionally, people call it the ice cream fruit, and it's definitely a great dessert substitute! Just cut it in half, spoon out the meat, and spit out the seeds. (They're poisonous.) #picstitch #lilybearbakery #leagueoffruitsandveggies #foodpics #fruit #cherimoya #whole30 #paleo #nutritious #exoticfood #centralmarket

Reduced fat mozzarella cheese (or vegan cheese) 1 c. fresh, locally grown spinach Smoked salmon is especially delicious seared, and this omelet is a great way to curb hunger until lunch. Busy morning? We at #lilybearbakery have you covered. :) #salmon #healthyeats #organic #protein #spinach #eggwhites #breakfast #missysmagickitchen

A full day of cooking (and a walk where we chased ALL THE DUCKS) makes Chloe tired. #dogsofinstagram #ChloetheConqueror #labmix #rescue

This weekend, Missy's Magic Kitchen went Italian with organic meat sauce. Ingredients: 1 lb. extra lean ground turkey 5 cups raw locally grown spinach 1 can organic diced tomatoes 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning 1 tsp. oregano 1 tbsp. onion powder 1 tsp. garlic powder 1 tsp. parsley Pinch of basil Brown the turkey in a skillet with spices. Pour in spinach and diced tomatoes and let simmer. Spinach will cook down. Serve over #zoodles for #paleo and #glutenfree meals, or serve over whole wheat pasta for a natural, nutritious dose of carbs. You can also just eat it out of the pan with a fork. ;) #sodelicious #pastasauce #missysmagickitchen #lilybearbakery #allnatural #foodismedicine #healthyeats

In honor of #StPatricksDay, the League of Extraordinarily Exotic Fruits and Vegetables introduces the kiwi berry! Super small, super green, and vibrantly delicious, this little berry packs a huge nutritional punch. (#ChloetheConqueror also gives them two paws up.) they're ripest when dark green and a bit wrinkled, and you can totally eat the skin. :) #picstitch #leagueoffruitsandveggies #paleo #whole30 #fruit #kiwiberry #rawfood #nutrition #glutenfree

I challenged myself to start eating fruits and vegetables I've never seen/tried before. Together, they are...The League of Extraordinarily Exotic Fruits and Vegetables! This episode? The prickly pear! I tried this one for the first time, and--minus the part where its tiny prickly fur got stuck in my knuckle--it was absolutely delicious! Super sweet with a berry-like flavor, this cactus fruit can be eaten raw with the seeds or puréed with the seeds removed. #Google says to remove the skin first, though; it's thick. Check out that beautiful color! #nofilter #fruit #pricklypear #paleo #eatclean #organic #lilybearbakery

Today's lunch/dinner is taco soup fresh from Missy's Magic Kitchen! It's a simple, delicious, one-pot recipe. :) Ingredients: 1 lb. grass-fed organic beef, 96% lean 1 can organic whole kernel corn 1 can organic black beans 1 can organic kidney beans 1 tbsp. onion powder 1 tsp. each paprika, cumin, chili powder, sea salt, and oregano (add more to taste) 1 package fresh organic spinach 1 can organic diced tomatoes First, brown the beef with half of your seasoning mix. Once cooked, drain beef of grease in a colander and pat dry with a paper towel. Pour black beans, tomatoes, corn, kidney beans, beef, spinach, and the rest of the spice mix into a pot and bring to a boil. Stirring occasionally, let simmer for 20 minutes. Leftovers are just as good as the fresh soup! #tacosoup #spinach #blackbeans #paleo #lowcarb #glutenfree #nutrition #organic #lilybearbakery #missysmagickitchen #bellabarksaward
