Over the past several years, I’ve done a lot of corporate wellness coaching. The number one and two things people want to work with me on are (1) Food/Diet and (2) Fitness/Body. Of course, many people wanted to focus on both, and generally the top reason for focusing on either was to lose weight. I …
There is such a wide range of sources for pregnancy advice, so much information to wade through and interpret, and sometimes… you just need a list of things to do! I first became aware of this need when I was trying to coach a client whose standard response to me became, “Please don’t tell me …
Last year, I made wine gummies, and they’ve been a serious hit both virtually and in real life! I’ve been making margarita gummies all this time too (along with a few other cocktail gummies), but for some reason, I’m just sharing the recipe with you now. The trick with cocktail gummies is that you have …
Turmeric is a miracle. I knew this conceptually before, but my husband (Dave) and I just confirmed it. 15 years ago, Dave was at a party, and while hanging out on the deck of the second story of the house, he leaned on the railing. The railing detatched, and both he and the railing fell …
One of my main food goals lately is to pack in a lot of vegetables, and not just any veggies. I am trying to increase veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, onions, mushrooms, and garlic. One thing I’ve noticed is that when I buy broccoli, the stalks are huge. I decided I would no longer …

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of crab cakes. I am—I could eat them everyday. My issue right now is that I can’t figure out where the crab meat in the store is actually coming from, and I’m trying to avoid Pacific sourced seafood at the moment due to the Fukushima radiation issues …
I’ve always loved my mom’s meatball recipe. I don’t know where it came from, but it was typed onto an index card by my grandma many decades ago. It’s very simple and easy, and only requires meat in the form of ground beef. These meatballs taste like my childhood. Of course, in recent years, I’ve …
I’ve been trying to figure out ways to add more coconut oil to my diet. Since I’m pregnant, I’m a bit hyper-focused on nutrients and food. I’m not being obsessive about it, but I’m paying close attention and really trying to incorporate certain key foods. I’ll address that directly soon with a list, but right …

Last week, right before my birthday weekend, it occurred to me how different it is to be single and living in a studio apartment compared to my old life (the opposite of that). My college friend, Jenn, was coming to visit from Florida and I was really excited—we had a good chuckle over our dorm-style-living …
