This week was World Breastfeeding Week. August is World Breastfeeding Month. What I have heard the most buzz about is a single photo that was posted on an online breastfeeding blog of a woman tandem nursing two toddlers. One is hers, one is her friend’s that she watches daily. The two children have been raised […]
Praise Worthy Podcasts
I have found that there is pleasure in constant education. I am not about to head back to school any time soon, but there are so many amazing and free resources out there. I feel the most alive when I am learning something new all the time. I have been enjoying a few podcasts during […]
Surviving and Thriving with Compassion and Patience
After reaching an all time high at 300 lbs and an all time low self-esteem, Maureen Orrico’s cardiologist told her that he wouldn’t be surprised if she walked out of the office and had a heart attack. She was only 28 years old and a new mom. That was hardly the spark she needed to get her life […]
Vegetarian Summerfest, Resources for Everyone
Every year I look forward to Vegetarian Summerfest. It’s like band camp or science camp where kids can be with other kids where their talents are admired, not teased. Only, it’s (mostly) for grown-ups, and you don’t have to have any special talent. If you’re already vegan or just curious about becoming vegetarian, you fit […]
Fresh Mint Nice Cream
Hot summer days are a perfect time for a cool refreshing treat. I have a habit of making banana soft serve for exactly this purpose, but a walk through my herb garden the other day inspired this twist on an already yummy delight. Serve this to guests and they’ll never guess it’s also health food! […]
Secrets of Success: Accountability
Success in any endeavor is determined by your ability to stick with it. Right? The only way to fail is to give up. We can all set out with the best of intentions, whether it’s working toward a promotion, embarking on a healthier eating plan, or exercise regimen. But if you don’t stick to it […]
Mango Cucumber Quinoa Salad
Mango Cucumber Quinoa Salad I have been yearning from some fresh summer salads and I stumbled upon this delightful creation as I was staring blankly at my fridge contents yesterday afternoon. The crisp cucumber and sweet mango balance each other in the most marvelous way. With just 7 ingredients, this salad is as simple as […]
Power Plant Milk
I created this recipe to be a calorie booster for my toddler, free of all the additives found in most grocery store milks. It’s full of Omega-3’s, vitamins, and minerals that can be hard to find elsewhere. Ingredients: 1/2 cup blanched almonds 1/2 cup raw walnuts 1/4 cup rolled oats 1/4 cup shelled hemp seed […]
Weighing The Options
If you are anything like me, you have tried to lose weight more than once. Or at the very least you’ve committed to eating better. Whether it was giving up soda (pop) for Lent or setting a resolution on Jan. 1 to eat better and exercise more, I would venture a guess that the thought […]
The Key to Ultimate Weight Loss
In response to my recent success story I’ve been getting a lot of questions about exactly what I’m doing. What is the Ultimate Weight Loss Program and how do I get started? The “program”, as I usually refer to it, was originally taught as a multi-day seminar in-person by Chef AJ and John Pierre in Los […]
