Welcome to another Foodemental Friday!

This week I am super excited to introduce you to the lovely Dani from Coffee and Whine. We met Dani when we first moved to San Diego, she was sooooo nice; I knew future collaboration was in the works.

Dani is a mom, a wife and an entrepreneur; shes the one to go to when looking for the latest event in San Diego. Whether it’s restaurants, fitness or spas, shes your lady! She has a lot on her plate so I wanted to know, how the heck do you do it all and look amazing doing it? She fills us in below :O

1). Your Food Secret: I love seafood and eat a LOT of greens! No red meat or pork for over 15 years.

2). Favorite thing to Eat: Greens with seafood

3). How often do you Cook: Everyday:) Lunch we will usually eat fresh salads that I will create 3-4 times per week.  Dinner is about 4-6 times a week.

My husband makes breakfast! And he will make it almost every morning!

4). Favorite Restaurant of All-Time: Of all time? I have so many… Azul in La Jolla and Prep Kitchen are in my top favs at this moment.

6). Your Ideal Food Day consists of: Greens with protein, for every meal.

7). Someone you look up to: You guys, The Seasonal Diet:)!

11). You’re short on time, what’s your go-to Meal? Fresh Salad with tuna or tofu

alive and now begs for me to make a homemade meal so I think I have done well. ha ha

13). If you were to host a Dinner Party, what would you make? Depending on the season, I have made soups in the winter and salads in the summer.

14). Green Juice or Green Smoothie? Both ;) but probably Juice.

15). Do you Exercise, if so favorite workout? Yes. Yoga and jogging. Yoga way more then jogging he he

16). Morning Person or Night Owl? Night Owl, but I have been falling asleep earlier with my growing age… might be changing.

17). Vegetable you could eat every day? Carrots

18). Coffee or Tea… or Wine;)? All 3 but mainly coffee

19). Give us a snap shot of dinner time with your family? See photo below:)

20). You have two little ones, do you let them help in the kitchen? Sometimes. I get nervous having them around the stove. My husband almost always lets them help with breakfast.

21). Are they good eaters? Yes. They all are!

22). One tip for finding balance being a mom, running a business and staying healthy? Stay realistic with my time and not to sweat the small stuff. If something doesn’t get done, then it really wasn’t meant for today :)

23). Where can our readers find more about you? coffeeandwhinelife.com or facebook :)
