Today I am going to be busy and scheduled all day, so I wanted to have enough portable food with me to last until I get home waaaaaaay later. Although a salad would be nice, I have no fridge (except my car, I suppose!) to use during the day. I decided to go with smoothies—and …
I’ve done some research to find “healthy” cocktail ideas, and I keep coming back to the same source—Sarma Melngailis’ books: Raw Food Real World and Raw Living Food. At her restaurant in NYC, Pure Food and Wine, they serve raw food and drinks, with the exception of the sake in the cocktails. In one of …
I attended a workshop this weekend by David Romanelli, author of Yeah Dave’s Guide to Livin’ the Moment: Getting to ecstacy through wine, chocolate, and your ipod playlist. I have’t read the book…yet. I will. I found Dave’s insights and anecdotes to be refreshingly grounded—he seemed to be a real person with a real message. It …

This dessert is so good it’s not even funny. For some reason, I put it in the freezer, most likely because I thought I wasn’t going to eat all of it before it went bad….Wrong! It will keep for several days in the fridge, and for several weeks in the freezer. It’s probably more of …

I’m participating in the Dauntless Diva’s 30-Day Green Smoothie Challenge. It’s not significantly different from what I’ve been doing, although it has altered my focus from primarily green juice to green smoothies. So far, I have mostly been consuming a very simple spinach-banana-water smoothie recipe. There isn’t a specific reason for this, except that it’s …

I love cereal. A lot. I try not to buy it because I have been known to eat an entire box throughout the course of a day–once I start, I just can’t stop. As a result, I am trying to find good alternatives to cereal that contain real healthy and satisfying ingredients. Today, this is …
Hemp is a plant protein, which is good for you because it provides you with amino acids you need without other junk or the need for breaking down in the body. The benefit to this is that if your body doesn’t have to break down protein into amino acids, it can (1) use the amino acids …
I’m not a fan of resolutions, possibly because I am terrible at upholding them. I think it’s a common issue with our society for us to choose something to improve about ourselves and then to do it all at once….only to fail all at once shortly thereafter. In the past, I’ve tried this all-or-nothing approach …
