15 things you should give up to be happy

Great article about things you should give up to be happy. Our favorite is #4. Since this was one of our Weekly Goals earlier we are already masters of this one :)

4. Give up your self-defeating self-talk

Oh my. How many people are hurting themselves because of their negative, polluted and repetitive self-defeating mindset? Don’t believe everything that your mind is telling you – especially if it’s negative and self-defeating. You are better than that.

Make Stellibell work for you!

As our customer base is growing we are realizing how versatile Stellibell is. Thanks to everyone who has emailed us to share your stories with us. Regardless if you are a family of five or a group of roommates you can make Stellibell work for you.

Maria told us about how her and three of her friends have signed up for Stellibell together. They get together every Sunday, share a bottle of wine and have a blast cooking all the meals together. Everyone leaves happy with meals for the entire week. Even two friends can sign up for the 3-Day plan and cook together. They wouldn’t have to worry about lunch OR dinner for the entire week OR weekend! That is a great deal! 

Memorial Weekend

Have a great Memorial Day weekend! Enjoy it the Stellibell way – food, fun, relaxation, and friends! That’s what life is all about. If you need to bring a dish to a bbq, why not bring a fruit salad? Can’t go wrong with that; quick, yummy, nutritious and pretty to look at. And if you add some vanilla ice cream to it, you have the perfect dessert.

Capers

Today’s dinner is Salmon with Tomato Capers. The capers together with the tomatoes, onion and garlic adds a wonderful mix of a tangy and savory flavor to this dish.

Capers are the unopened green flower buds of the Capparis spinosa (Capparidaceae - caper family - closely related to the cabbage family), a wild and cultivated bush that is grown mainly in Mediterranean countries (southern France, Italy, and Algeria) and also in California. Capers have long been a favorite in the Mediterranean region. The small, green herb buds lend a piquant sour and salty flavor to salads, dressings, sauces, vegetables and a variety of main dishes.

After the buds are harvested, they are dried in the sun, then pickled in vinegar, brine, wine or salt.The curing brings out their tangy lemony flavor, much the same as green olives.Capers can range in size from that of a tiny peppercorn (the petite variety from southern France, considered the finest) to some as large as the tip of your little finger (from Italy).  Larger capers are stronger in flavor and less aromatic.
