Happy New Year, Friends! I had a great New Year’s Eve with Joe and some of his friends (they’re really our friends, but they started out as his). We went to Ithaca and drank, ate, and danced. Joe and I weren’t out the latest, and we didn’t drink the most, but we had a ton …

I hope you had a wonderful holiday if you celebrate, and if you don’t, then I hope you had time off from work! We spent Christmas eve and Christmas with family, and had a really great time. I’ll be honest, I don’t usually contribute much food to holidays–my mom never delegates, and neither does Joe’s …

I love all things coconut. Coconut is super high in saturated fat. I’ve learned so much about saturated fat over the last few years—the nutritional scape goat villain of the last few decades turns out to be not at all what I thought. Did you know that saturated fat studies (you know, the ones that …
Every day of this week so far, I thought it was Friday. Eventually, I’ll be right, but time is crawling! I think it’s because I’m counting down–to this weekend (Matthew comes over), till the end of the semester and a break from teaching (online too) (the 19th-ish till Jan 2nd), till people start visiting for …
What foods are perfect or best for us? Often people look to exotic fruits—things like goji berries, cacao beans, and maca powder, imported and overflowing with certain nutrients. I’m a fan of those things—but I’m not so much a fan of their price tags. I like the idea of micronutrient loading, and promote it to …

On Black Friday (actually this began Thursday evening), I headed out with Joe’s sister and mother to Wal-Mart at 10pm. There was a laptop to be bought, and many good deals to be scarfed up! I didn’t have a list—was just going along for the fun of it (even though last time I went midnight …

I’m thankful for a lot of things… Right now, I’m dwelling on this: We’ve graduated from all the “Hi” texts to full phrases. And if I don’t answer right away, I’m likely to have 3 or 4 voicemails waiting for me… 🙂 Who was the last person you sent a love note {text} to?
Good afternoon 🙂 I’m teaching 8 classes and I’ve been a big slacker in researching things for friends/clients (but I’ll admit, I’ve been researching the things that interest me the most…). Often, when I am trying to help someone improve their health, we have to find substitutions for “old” habits—without that, we’re bound to try …

Happy Saturday! I’m going to spend the remainder of the weekend in yoga teacher training (I wish there was wi-fi there—then I could be like my nutrition students and pretend I’m listening, but really be chatting and playing on the Internet…just kidding, I wouldn’t do that!). I want to tell you a few random things …
A couple weeks ago, my facebook page reached 600 “Likes” and I thought it would be a good time to do a giveaway. I’m not a big fan of doing sponsored giveaways (except in those cases where I’m in love with the products—like the times I gave away NuNaturals Stevia, SoCal Avocados and SunButter). Mostly, …
