This 34 year-old is acing motherhood (and she gets full credit for that slightly hard-to-handle baby daddy). Still, OK! reports that the birth requirements for both Kylie and Khloe were pretty #Extra.

Mash in the same saucepan with the butter, salt and pepper to season, and a splash of milk from your fridge too, if you like. The mash can be kept and gently reheated to serve with the casserole. Wash, shake dry and roughly chop the parsley.

Over the past several years, the Youngs have tinkered, through hand-pollination, with new varieties which they hope will yield fruit that are predictably round, orange and sturdy. And big.

Eminem grew up in total and utter poverty. 8 Mile was 100% this rapper’s reality, but the millions don’t seem to have changed Em. Business Insider lists his backstage needs as follows: one loaf white bread, one loaf wheat bread, six Lunchables snacks (three turkey, three ham with cheese).

Lakewood Think you’re busy? Paul Fleischer probably has you beat. The full-time agriculture and special-needs teacher at Alameda International Jr./Sr. High School also farms a half-acre plot in Lakewood, tends a productive apiary, runs a CSA program, hosts on-property workshops, classes, and special events, and keeps his farm stand stocked with CFA products. (Not to mention parenting two young children with his wife, Chelsie.) The Fleischers hope to double down on their urban farm dream by buying 1.2 acres adjacent to their current plot in February, but in the meantime, the CFA allows them to “fill in the gaps and offer more variety,” Fleischer says. That translates to raspberry jam from the couple’s sprawling berry patch, eggs from their free-range chickens, and raw honey from the farm’s hives. But be forewarned: The Fleischers’ CFA products have a devoted neighborhood following. “We never have enough,” Fleischer says. He hopes the purchase of the additional acreage will remedy that problem—and allow him to make the switch to working their land full time. How To Buy: The Fleischers’ farm stand is closed for the season—it will reopen on June 15—but you can call or contact them online to purchase eggs ($6 per dozen) and honey (starting at $11 for an eight-ounce jar) throughout the winter, while supplies last. 2020 S.

Perhaps best known for their crucial rule in a certain sugary-sweet pie, pecans are native to North American and were a staple food for many Native Americans–in fact, the word pecan comes from the word “pacane,” used by the Algonquin tribe to signify a nut that must be cracked by a stone. Commercial production of pecans in America began in the late 1800s, and New Orleans became a hub for this market. Pecans are chock-full of flavonoids, a specific type of antioxidant that may help prevent certain chronic diseases such as diabetes. They are also rich in magnesium, which has anti-inflammatory benefits, and are full of heart-healthy fats and fiber.

The Half Moon Bay ordinance was written in a way that would benefit only three farms, including the Mullers’. They needed just three votes, and they would be in business.

According to the authors of a study from 2011, green tea is especially rich in antioxidants called catechins, which boost blood flow to the skin. Increased blood flow ensures that the skin cells are regularly receiving fresh oxygen and nutrients, which help to maintain their health.

“It’s a pumpkin baked bread pudding that is sliced and crisped on our flat top, finished with local Wigle whiskey maple syrup, sweet whipped cream and fresh berries. Just a subtle fall twist to a breakfast classic,” he says.
