This morning, I thought I’d make coconut cream pudding but sub in strawberry protein powder for the vanilla I have been using. Once I got started, I realized the pudding was going to be white (the protein powder is white), and I wanted it to be pink… Full disclosure: My first thought was that maybe …

In my house, we don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day…well, we did sort of—by going out to lunch on Saturday (but we would have done that anyway). We joke that every day is Valentine’s Day in our house…and we’re just not really into the gift/commercial aspect of holidays. I am planning on buying a valentine gift …
I’m officially a yoga instructor now. Who wants to come over and do yoga? I’m not planning on actually teaching on a schedule in a studio anywhere, but I have plans for how to integrate yoga into what I already do and I like the idea of doing small group sessions in a series. I …

I’m a firm believer in not relying on willpower to lose weight. In fact, I despise willpower, and I don’t have much (any) of it myself. I do think it’s important to strategize and be motivated and determined, but nobody should go hungry or feel restricted… As a result, I have spent significant time learning …

Yesterday, I feasted on kale chips (yes, the entire batch), and today I ate a truckload of coconut cream pudding. I should call it fruit dip, but I didn’t dip anything — I just ate it with a spoon, half at lunch and half at dinner. It was not a couple days of great variety …

I meant to make kale chips last Monday, so I could take some to a client on Tuesday morning (she’s doing an elimination diet—which she affectionately calls the No Diet… Can you eat this? No.). However, I ran out of time, and the kale stayed in my fridge until today. The great thing about kale …

I forgot to update the Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies post after Mom and Fred tasted them. The final verdict—everyone liked them. We all (Mom, Fred, Joe, and I) thought they would be better with fewer chocolate chips (I dumped the whole bag in and it only called for 3/4 cup. I did it because …

I’ve spent many years focusing on how to have nice skin. Let’s just say that it doesn’t come naturally to me, and it’s one of the main reasons I did an elimination diet. The thing is…even when my skin is good, I want to try and make it awesome. I’ve learned that my skin’s appearance depends …

I had a test this morning—the kind where I make something for breakfast and then see if Matthew will eat it. When he was younger, he would just tell me that something was, “destusteen.” Now that he’s eight, he actually tries to not hurt my feelings so it’s more like, “This is not really good.” …
In the winter, I’m not very enthusiastic about green smoothies or juice, but I do like to eat a lot of salads. See, since I dropped grains out of my diet, I’ve had some people pick on me about how all I’m eating is cheese and meat (lots of Atkins Diet jokes coming my way). …
