Happy Memorial Day! I would like to take the time to personally thank all of the women and men who have sacrificed their lives serving the USA. I know that it is something that I personally could not do, and I am grateful to those who choose to wear the uniform.
I hope that you are [...]

Ice cream cravings have hit me with a vengeance. Since I shy away from agave and sugar, I have been left to my own devices. This isn’t new to me, as while I was on my big fat loss way I would often whip up a batch of “ice cream” made from frozen banana, almond [...]

Anyone ever watch Troop Beverly Hills?

One of my favorite movies from my childhood, and while making these delights I thought that they would be the perfect way to snack on trail mix for the Beverly Hills Wilderness Girls. These won’t work out in a Zip-Loc baggie in a backpack, but they would still be a [...]

last week I got a glorious package in the mail from Pom Wonderful. Eight beautiful little bottles full of garnet colored pomegranate juice. Being the pom lover I practically did a jig when I saw the box on my porch. I was overjoyed when I was contacted about the gift box a couple of weeks [...]

Yesterday I was feeling in the mood to bake something. I haven’t baked anything in a while and since I decided to opt out of my 7pm yoga class because the sun was so glorious (and I needed to get to bed earlier than I have been) I had time to make these cookies. I [...]

I need to start off this post with a little edit of the previous posting. I was over hasty when I said I quit my part time gig. I spoke with the owner of Healeo this weekend (he hadn’t gotten my message about not being able to make it work) and we discussed it. We [...]

Chocolate Covered Nut Balls

These really should be called “Crust Balls” because they were originally made into a crust for a raw pie. There was extra “crust” and so I had to try a bite. Immediate addiction. MUST MAKE CRUST BALLS. Crust Balls just doesn’t have the appropriate ring though, so behold the NUT BALLS. [...]

I have a new love! Matt and I were shopping at Whole Foods yesterday (I gave up my boycott a few weeks ago), and I was picking up my usual box of quinoa flakes when I saw something incredible.
