Hello October! Fall looks good on you! And so do all those gorgeous colors. Ripened gourds and falling leaves abound, creating that undeniable warm feeling in contrast to the impending cold. The oven is warming up and needs some attention, and we have some inspiration to carry you through the season.

 You may not know it, but our Plant-Based crust is a great base for a plethora of autumn ingredients. Whether you’re looking for something sweet or savory, the Plant-Based is prime for decoration. We’ve experimented with acorn squash, pumpkin puree, mashed yams, and all those wonderful spices that will make your kitchen smell like a seasonal candle.

Well it’s kickoff season, and that means parties! Of course, parties entail bounties of food. With the average professional football game lasting over three hours, not including pre and post celebrations, you’re going to want to eat. Especially if you’re the excited type who burns calories with sudden bursts of energy. They say the best kind of workout is a short interval, high intensity, right?

The problem is, most of the food you’ll be snacking on throughout the day is high carb. In fact, a lot of classic tailgate dishes are nearly entirely carb. How can you stay healthy and feeling great long after the party is over? The obvious answer is to eat healthier, but celery and carrots aren’t exactly the first in mind for go-to tailgate snacks. We’ve checked in to the typical party foods and came up with a short, simple list of things to improve the quality of your party food without losing popularity!

Happy Fathers Day

Here at Cali’flour, we like the term “All hands on deck”. We use it frequently and we mean it. The business is booming and that means focus. Behind the scenes, there is a whole team making life happen in harmony.

Holidays are always a great excuse to visit with family and friends, have some good food, and celebrate the time at hand. While we are fortunate enough to light up the grill, have open conversations, eat, drink and be merry, not every holiday was instituted based off of these traditions. 

It is steeped in our culture to celebrate. So much so, that often times we forget the reasons why. Many will look at this weekend as a great time to hit the lakes without a second thought - and rightly so. However, the real reason we celebrate is also the main reason we get to.

Every year we are inundated with expectations and advice. Expectations from society, from family, and worst of all – from ourselves. Mothers in particular often have very high expectations, and I’m willing to guess that a lot of that comes from inside.

This year, for Mother’s Day, I wanted to share some insight. There will be plenty of other blogs and articles focused on how-tos and abstract philosophies of self-help or motivation. These are all great things, but I believe the focus is lost.
