Have you ever heard about learning things through osmosis? Obviously it’s a joke—and I know I’ve seen print cartoons showing people sleeping with books under their pillows to try and absorb the information passively… But I always think of this when I’m working in wellness because exposure to healthy concepts over and over (and over) …
I’m going to call my first microgreens harvest a very big success. I learned a few things from this experience: 1. Labeling bulk purchases of seeds (and other things) is important later. 2. More is not always better. 3. Dirt cleans up pretty easily. 4. It’s much cheaper to grow greens than to buy them. …
I’m a master planner. I plan everything, and I enjoy it. Sometimes I enjoy making the plans more than I enjoy implementing them. It’s common for me to discuss (I call it brainstorming) what I think I want (today, tomorrow, for my career, my life…..where I want to live, what car I might want to …

I planted microgreen seeds last week, so I wanted to just show you the progression of what has happened. I’m pretty happy with my first attempt at the indoor garden–and I know I planted too many seeds in each crop, but I was in a rush when I planted and didn’t have enough containers and …
(This is a duplicate to my post on my own blog; Lisa asked that I share it with all of you. Enjoy!) I’ve been desperate to make hummus in my new food processor since the moment I arrived home with it. I’ve had two recipes (both raw, vegan and gluten free) that I’ve tried previously, …
I’ve tried making a Shamrock Shake Impersonator twice now. The first one was gross—I tried to make it healthy instead of just trying to make it not “poison” (i.e. the McDonald’s version–which I did have last Sunday. Hey, I had to have a point of reference for my recipe experimentation!). I put in pineapple, spinach, …
I made this for lunch yesterday, and Joe told me that it was the best thing I’ve ever made. Seriously, I don’t know if that’s a compliment or not, but it was really good and super healthy! Here’s what I did: Spread hummus into a pie dish (you could use whatever dish you wanted to—I …
Yesterday, I made a smoothie that was similar to the Valentine’s Day smoothie, except I didn’t measure the ingredients, left out the hemp protein powder and cacao, and added about 2 cups of spinach. I thought it would turn brown…but it didn’t. It was awesome, didn’t taste the spinach at all, and it was a …
If you’ve known me for a while, you may recognize this smoothie…it’s the Avocolada! I have used a version of this in smoothie demos, and usually get mixed reviews—-people who don’t like avocados tend to go into it thinking they won’t like it. And they don’t. I love it, even though this recipe made about …
