3 Day Juice Cleanse

3 Day Juice Cleanse

I was an emotional wreck the days leading up to my trip to New York City. I’ve never been able to handle the unknown very well, and a trip to The Big Apple was no exception to this. Nervousness and anxiety do a number on my digestion each and every time. Blah. That, coupled with…

Gluten-free in NYC Part II

Gluten-free in NYC Part II

It was really hard for me to leave New York City yesterday. If it weren’t for my loving little family waiting for me to return home, a job to get back to, and a yoga practice to rekindle, I would have extended my stay just a little longer. The people, the photography course, the food,…

Berry Immunity Smoothie

Since the discovery of cacao, goji, lucuma, maca and other superfoods, the basic superfoods like kale, blueberries, cranberries and apples, are not often considered to be so super any more. Well, I got news for you – they’re still super, they’re cheaper than a bag of goji berries, and they’re really easy to find no…

Grain-free Chai Granola Bars

Grain-free Chai Granola Bars

Oh my gosh I have so many nuts, seeds and random little baggies of dried fruit in my pantry. I thought that building the spice rack of my dreams would help control my habit of randomly purchasing things from bulk bins but it hasn’t (although it has made finding spices in our new home a whole…

12 Healthy Winter Dinner Recipes

I love dinner, you love dinner, we all love dinner! I love dinner so much that I (accidentally) used a knife to chop a chunk out of my thumb Wednesday night in anticipation for dinner. Major fail. Those bell peppers were just so slippery and my thumb got in the way of the awesomeness that…
