At 32, I occasionally have to remind myself that I am no longer a young adult… I’m full-fledged and all, even though I often get mistaken for a college student (which is nice at times—if you look young, people expect less of you. I can deal with the condescension I sometimes get at work because …
I have a problem. Really, it’s not natural for one person to have so many email addresses. If I teach for six schools (or is it seven?), that means I have email logins and online classroom logins to remember for each of them (even the face-to-face classes are web enhanced). That causes me to have …
My wellness habits occur in cycles. I don’t do this on purpose, but I tend to stick to something for a while, and then move onto something else. One thing that keeps coming up over and over is green juice. My weekend of juices in NYC (not all green) made me crave more when I …
Beets and Butternut! This wouldn’t have been my first thought for a dinner pairing, but I saw a recipe yesterday for a mostly raw vegan beets and butternut dish, and it was really pretty (and I suppose I also believed that it would taste good!). I intended to make it exactly as the recipe said, …

Along with my passion for ice cream, my vita-mix, and more recently, for brewing kombucha…I am equally enamored with Sun Butter. I stay away from peanut butter due to the high mold content (aflatoxins—cancer causing mold in peanuts), and Sun(flower seed) Butter is the closest-tasting nut/seed butter to peanut butter. That said, my eye is …

Come over—I’ve got plenty of squash and this smoothie is so good it should be enjoyed with other people who will appreciate its awesomeness! After you’ve blended all the above ingredients on low, …
A Gingerbread, Molasses Cookie, Pumpkin Smoothie…..Or Squash Incognito Read More »
First, I’d like to share with you one of my favorite love notes… I’m going to make this again today and use extra squash—it could be squashy-er if you ask me. Last week when I was contemplating making this smoothie, my mom told me her grandmother used to make squash pies and tell everyone they …
Fruit Juice #2 was: pineapple and peaches (peaches taste great, but are SO foamy when juiced). The veg juices are all the same: watermelon, apple, cilantro, parsley, lime, lettuce (LOTS of lettuce from the farmer’s market), ginger, cucumber. My juicing is going really well—I wasn’t crazy about the beet juice for Day 2, but I’ve …
Third Day’s a Charm? Or a Bust? Either Way, it Feels Like Success to Me. Read More »
Day one of Juicing went well for me. I drank one fruit juice (and skipped the kombucha because it’s not ready yet), but other than that I stuck to green juice and tea. Joe just told me that he has had enough watermelon juice, and that I should give the rest to the Friends. I …
