I’ve been extremely busy for the past five days. I have two new potential jobs (that are requiring me to do a lot of prep-work), I’m still teaching seven classes, working more than full-time, and ….we moved this past weekend. Oh, and Matthew spent the weekend with us too. I’m happy to say that I’m …
Has anyone ever asked you that question? No one has asked me that in a while, but I’ll admit that it has happened in the past. I suppose “normal” refers to “just like everyone else,” because I’m pretty normal compared to my own standards. I do find, however, that sometimes I forget that I can …
I don’t love green smoothies, even though I drink them and I promote drinking them to other people. The benefits of a green smoothie are indisputable—lower blood pressure, more energy, more fiber, more nutrients, chlorophyll, lower cholesterol….and lots more. But sometimes, green smoothies can be so…green. As you know, Kristina and I are in a …
On the 4th, Joe and I were going to have lunch together…and didn’t really have a plan (or many groceries). Joe ran to the store and picked up crabmeat for crab cakes. The upside to crab cakes is that I can eat seafood (although I recently heard through a friend that her biologist friend said …

I’ll keep this post short and simple and sweet—just like the recipe! Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream (coconut milk + vanilla + a dash of guar gum + a dash of xanthan gum + sweetener) blended in the blender and then put in an ice cream maker or frozen in the freezer. You can leave out …
Have you ever eaten aloe? I know, you’ve put it on a sunburn. But you really can eat it too (or drink it, in my case!). Let me tell you why, and then show you two drinks I’ve made with it. Aloe is a member of the lily family, and is one of the healthiest …
Tonight’s dinner: Roll up contents in each leaf….Done! Easy salad in a different shape.
I have a lot of things I want to write about, but I’m feeling like sharing a recipe instead—I figured you wouldn’t mind! Today I made Pumpkin Ice Cream. Here’s how it went: 1. Soak 1 cup almonds for 12 hours, rinse, peel. 2. Add almonds to blender with 1 cup almond milk and 1 …
Today my Mom came over for lunch and a walk. She’s been in Florida on vacation so I haven’t seen her in a while, and frankly, the older I get the more I realize how important it is to spend time with people who matter to me…no matter how busy we think we are. I’m …
