During a recent visit to Tango Bistro, I was introduced to what is now one of my favorite products. Kevin and I began our dinner as we do with any night out, we asked what items on the menu could be made corn-free, gluten-free, yeast-free, and dairy-free. The kitchen staff provided us with some direction,…
My experience at Yasodhara Ashram in August was life changing. I came home with peace toward myself, my surroundings, and my decisions. I learned that in order to move forward with my life’s journey, I had to accept myself, forgive myself, and find happiness from within. To keep negativity, worries, and doubts at a minimum,…
Is it weird that the entire time I was enjoying this bowl of quinoa salad I was thinking of Smokey the bear? [source] Only you can prevent forest fires… Oh my gosh, blast from the past. But this recipe isn’t about bears, or forest fires, or PSA’s from 1950, sorry to disappoint. This recipe is…
I wanted to do something different for Thanksgiving dessert this year. My Grandma’s Thanksgiving dessert specialty are butter tarts, my Mom’s is definitely pumpkin pie, and my sister makes a mean pumpkin crepe. But none of my Thanksgiving recipes are famous in our family… yet. This year I decided that it was time I made…
What a Thanksgiving dinner we had last night! The pumpkins were a plenty, the conversation was deep, and the UNO cards were flying! Not only that, but we made great progress on my office. More on that tomorrow. I headed to Superstore late Sunday night to pick up some last minute items – mushrooms, a…

On a weekly basis, I’ll be addressing reader questions, talking about my favorite foods and products, health in the news, and providing seasonal…
Instead of carving pumpkins, decorating the Thanksgiving table, or cleaning the house, we went to Home Depot to buy some paint for my new office! The upper level of our house has 2 extra bedrooms. We are using 1 as a spare bedroom and the other as an office. Problem is, we never ever use…
It’s official, I’m addicted to kelp noodles. Since buying my first pack on Upaya Naturals, I’ve come up with a couple of tasty ways to enjoy these low calorie, thyroid supporting noodles. I’ve made countless batches of 150 calorie (and 15 minute) ginger chicken kelp noodle soup, tried toasting them in the oven for a…
Yesterday I told you about all the cleansing foods I’ve been craving this week. I compared the bodies’ natural detox patterns to trees shedding their leaves in the fall, and we enjoyed a bowl of glorious green soup. But I kinda left a small detail out of the story and it’s time I let it…
I’ve been craving greens, fish, and fresh fruit like no one’s business this week! I’ve had my fair share of 15 minute salmon cakes, BBQ kale chips, and various fruit salads. Right around this time every year, our bodies go into a natural detox cycle (similar to what we experience in the spring). We gravitate…
