Last night, I attended a benefit workshop called Pursuit of Happiness with Kurt Johnsen. He’s the founder of American Power Yoga, and has done a lot of work/learning in things like energy balance, tai chi, kung fu…and even astral travel (which sounds wonderful to me!). I enjoyed the two-hour talk very much, and identified with …
Today, I got a haircut. The funny thing is that I was a total 14 year-old about it and took with me a picture of Jennifer Aniston and her “long bob” style to show the stylist. I didn’t choose it because I want to look like Jen, but I searched Pinterest for “long bob” and …
One thing I’ve missed since I cut down on my starch/sugar intake is…french fries. And other crunchy starchy potato-y things too. It’s not that I ever ate tater tots, but suddenly, when I stopped eating potatoes, I really wanted some. I saw a recipe on Pinterest for cauliflower-based tots, and I intended to make them …

But I wanted a break from the coconut flour (how many coconut flour flatbread grilled …

If you haven’t previously noticed, I have a penchant for trying new natural skin care ideas. Over time, I’ve uncovered some of the things that caused my skin to be less than stellar, and it’s a great feeling to have (mostly) figured things out for now. I previously posted about some of the things I …
How many times can I post about the coconut flour flatbread before you get bored? A few people have tried it already: Thanks for the feedback! I hope others try it too—I’ve made three batches so far, and with the third one, I added grated parmesan to the batter (probably a tablespoon). It was …
I’ve tried twice to convert my vanilla coconut cream and cherry berry coconut cream recipes into a chocolate version. The first attempt…was awful. Not sweet enough. Too much cocoa. But it had a great texture, so I knew there was hope! The second time… it was amazing (and then I replicated that version just to …

Side story: When I was in college, I babysat for the two cutest kids on the planet, Daniel and Elizabeth. Daniel was five, and Elizabeth was six. One afternoon, Elizabeth and I were girl-talking at the kitchen table while Daniel ran around the kitchen and living room in circles. She told me a story about …

I have been looking at a lot of recipes for coconut flour based baked goods on Pinterest lately. If you follow me there, you may have noticed that all I’ve pinned lately is food! I’ll admit I’ve tried a few things that did not turn out great, but that is bound to happen. I think …
I’m trying to fulfill my goal of making three new veggie recipes this week, and even though they’re only required to be new to me (not made up), I did make up a new one today. I think I can technically count this as two recipes (maybe even three), but I’ll only do that if …
