Today is Elijah Silvera Day. We are honoring Elija Today is Elijah Silvera Day. We are honoring Elijah-Alavi’s memory and young legacy by sharing a favorite quote of his “Make A Hand, Make A Hug, Make A Kiss”. For those of you who don’t know Elijah’s story, check out the beautiful video @elijahsecho 📽 Someone once said “Turn your pain into purpose” and @elijahsecho is a true real life example of a family doing just this 🙏🏽 Thank you @elijahsecho for making the world safer for our food allergy kids and bringing awareness to an often misunderstood diagnosis.

These are #hachiyapersimmons which are naturally jammy and delicious spooned over yogurt or swirled into oats. Last year, I was gifted so many I froze the pulp into a few jars. Check out Kat’s @pastaragazza post today for more on persimmons! Thanks for all the great info & a reminder to pick some up before they go out of season 🧡 #myberkeleykitchen #feedfeed #thewayweeat #homegrownfood #fruit #persimmon #inmykitchen #fruitharvest #cagrown #preserves #freezerfriendly #inseasonnow #plantbased #veganrecipes #edibleeastbay
