I intentionally volunteered to make juice for four people for three days straight. I was so happy for others to be sharing in my enthusiasm for raw fresh juice, that I did not think about what the process would be like. And honestly, I am sitting here watching Joe make half of his own juice …
Today was my first day of school (Sorry, Mom. I didn’t take a picture beforehand!). I keep reading on facebook about how people were dreading the first day (teachers) or how they were super excited about it (parents). Teaching college students is probably way different than teaching the little people—in college, you talk to grown-up …
Today was my first official day “off” after being done wellness coaching at RIT. Somehow, I filled the entire day (until now) with work…but what a fabulous feeling to not get up at 4am! Even though I’m still busy (somehow I ended one job and added three…we’ll see how that goes!), I feel like I …
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 …
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 …
When my nephew, Matthew, visits me for the weekend, I try to offer him healthy food choices. This can be a challenge for me because I don’t like to keep “kid food” in my house—if it’s there, I eat it. I know what he likes, so I stock up before he comes over, and I …
Check out the two spoons…why haven’t I thought of using that method for my green smoothies/soups?! If this little guy can love his green smoothies, you can too!
Yesterday for breakfast, I had this: The day before, I had this: Today? Totally in the mood for a chocolate milkshake (ingredients: cacao powder, vegan protein powder, stevia, vanilla extract, ice): I drank half of this and dumped the rest—so I guess that was pretty wasteful. I know I won’t drink it later though, and …
Petra came over one evening last week, and we opened seven coconuts. If you’ve ever attempted this, you’re impressed because it’s hard work and very messy! That being acknowledged, I should also admit that I am the Queen of Convenience and I really wanted to make this process as easy and as convenient as possible. …
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 …
