What were you doing in 1958? Most of you probably weren’t even alive. I wasn’t even a thought back then but I do have two lovely people to thank for my existence. My grandparents just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Holy cow! 60 years is more than half a century! What a beautiful commitment? My…
I just led a retreat in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was the most magnificent time and truly gave me the opportunity to cook for the fall. We had a packed schedule with hiking, yoga, and face masks so our meals had to be quick but delicious. I wanted these women to feel like they could make these…
Roasting vegetables is such a great way to bring out the flavors and vibrant colors of a food. You can roast vegetables for however long it takes for them to be done. If you are roasting them at a lower temperature for a longer period of time (300℉ for about an hour), this will create…

According to the World’s Healthiest Foods, “rosemary contains substances that are useful for stimulating the immune system, increasing circulation, and improving digestion.” It can also help with improving concentration because rosemary helps increase blood flow…

I love the Blue Majik from E3 Live. It’s so sparkly and just the coolest. You can read up on my struggles to obtain this magical blue spirulina here. I wanted to create some blue balls the other day. Some blue balls that would give you all the gain without any pain. Blue Majik is…
You wake up to the sunlight trickling through the curtains. Your first breath draws in the scent of sundried tomatoes and garlic wafting through the air. Pure ecstasy. You smile to yourself because you know it is going to be a good day. There is something so grounding about the morning. Birds are chirping, the…
My mouth is watering as I write this post. I wish I still had some of this vinaigrette in the fridge right now but I ate it on nearly every salad or quinoa bowl I had last week. You can keep your cilantro in a jar with water and it will last longer than in…
A southwest salad may mean Fritos and tons of meat to you but this one is packed with as much crunch, flavor and ingredients that are really good for you. I whipped this up at my Summer Self Care and Salads workshop and it was a hit. This was probably my favorite of the three…
