L’Earth Day Italia is celebrated April 22, the same as California. It is a worldwide event. How is the date selected? It is one month and two days after the spring equinox.

So busy on the Monterey Peninsula this weekend. Beautiful beach weather.

Too much delectable food from the Pebble Beach Food and Wine? Balance it out with this healthy smoothie and head outdoors. Find adventure.

Hubby is at the Sea Otter Classic. He loves all things mountain biking.

We are going to MEarth to support sustainable and organic gardening and education. Bella Sophia’s school supports this annual event. Can’t make it to Carmel Valley to get a treat from the all organic “smoothie bike”? Enjoy this variation, a huckleberry smoothie from Huckleberry Hill.

What is your favorite smoothie recipe? What adventure did you enjoy this weekend? I would love to hear from you. Huckleberry Hugs, Maxine (AKA Molly)

Hi. Welcome to Huckleberry Hill. My name is Maxine Carlson. I live in Pebble Beach, California, happily surrounded by my niece, nephew and godchildren. My daughter, Bella Sophia, my husband Eric and dog Snowball are the lights of my life. I have a passion for collecting children’s literature, cooking, entertaining and travel. I have written a series of chapter books based on two main characters Molly and Fern. These characters are based on my real life childhood adventures. Each story is anchored with a fun and easy recipe. I would love to hear from you, please share your adventures!
