Nothing says thank you quite like a batch of homemade cookies. Now, if you want your thank you to be really special, go a step further and make the cookies with chocolate chips, cacao powder, or a bit of both. Add chocolate and you’re just about guaranteed to make the recipient jump up and down…
How was your weekend? Ours was relaxing and mellow, just what the doctor ordered. I was so tired come Friday that our plan to hang out with friends ground to a halt when I accidentally fell asleep on the couch at 7pm. I woke up around 4:30am on Saturday; as I do every weekend, but…
I’ve never been able to handle stimulants very well. Caffeine, sugar, tobacco, even too much cacao can send me over the moon! How I managed to get through adolescence addicted to espresso, coke zero, cigarettes, and jujube’s is beyond me. I was in a constant state of energy highs and lows. I found it hard…
Whether I’m embarking on a backpacking adventure through India, a road trip to the coast, or living out of a hotel in London, you can just about guarantee I’ve packed a lot of food with me. Gluten-free, dairy-free foods are sometimes challenging to find when I’m away from home. To lessen the stress of searching…
My little sister, Christina, and I couldn’t be more different. When she went outside to rough house with the boys, I stayed home and played barbies. Her room was green, mine was hot pink.

Chilly mornings don’t exactly put me in the mood for a cold smoothie for breakfast, but they’re guaranteed to bring on a craving for a bowl of warm and nourishing porridge! I could have gone for the obvious oat-based porridge, but I…
From the time I begin my day at 4am, I’m on the move. I workout, head to the office for 8-9 hours, come home to walk the dogs, make dinner, and prepare for an evening of nutrition consults. I’m strapped for time, all the time but I’ll never, ever be willing to sacrifice a healthy meal…
Oh have I got a treat for you today! I’ve held on to this recipe for months and am wondering why the heck I waited this long to make it. I guess there just isn’t enough time in the day to try each and every single recipe I have pinned, tweeted and Facebooked. But there…
For more on the flavors of India series, check out: Dhal Aloo Kofta, Payasam Pudding, Aloo Palak, Gluten-free naan and Malai Kofta. I love Indian food and have embraced it to the fullest. Just last night, I was contemplating trying my hand at making a potporri using all the garam masala ingredients to infuse our…
