I’ve been really busy this week, working, teaching yoga, and catching up from being in Florida last week, so I don’t have much to share except a salad I ate today. I’m not actually a huge fan of salads, but if they have certain qualities (like NOT big huge fluffy greens), I’m happier. I like …
Here’s a workout Shirley and I did last week on Tuesday before I went to Florida and she went to Italy… {Photo by Jen at PhotoCHICA) If you do this workout, you should pick a weight for each exercise that is very hard—meaning, you can’t do extra reps in each set, but you can finish what’s …

I actually have a recipe for you today—definitely not one I made in the past few days, but I need to put it out there before I forget it. Roasted Red Pepper and Sun Dried Tomato Pesto In the blender or food processor: 3 large roasted red peppers 8 sundried tomatoes 2 Tbsp olive oil …

I made it to Florida….this is my view. Wait, I meant this…. I’m in heaven—there’s no Classic (over 21) Kombucha in NY. This grape shiz is the best! {It makes me miss my girl Kristina—remember Life as Kristina? Well, we practically invented this stuff, and had 9am kombucha parties at work} Our friendly neighborhood juicer….I …
Today, I spent most of the day working (and a little cleaning…and a little mess-making in the kitchen). I stayed up too darn late last night, so my eyes are burning, but who cares because I made a new nut butter that is totally amazing! Dark Chocolate Nut Butter (no sugar added) In a food …

Today was another day spent entirely outside of the kitchen (I mean, except for coffee). I trekked to Rochester to meet my fitness partner, Shirley. We met with a graphics guy, and also both worked out—we used this opportunity to take some photos. The end result of today was that we’re going to put out …
Today should have been a rest day from working out for me (and I’m paying for it now…), but I wanted to meet my friend Shirley at hot yoga this morning and talk about our fitness plans. After class, she grabbed my phone and told me to do something cool. This is what I came …
I kept seeing tweets, instagrams, and fb posts about National Donut Day today, and it quickly solved my indecision about what to do in the kitchen (I was debating between coconut flour mini pizzas, cocoa cashew cookies, and macaroons…) I made a very small batch because (1) I didn’t know how they’d turn out, and …

I’m not so great at posting veggie recipes—most of the veggie dishes I make are not actually recipes. I just throw things together and hope for the best. It’s usually good, but there’s no method to that madness. I did make something post-worthy (in my opinion) this week, though. Aparagus with Mushrooms and Roasted Red …

Sugar free, grain free….easy, and not many ingredients. That’s just how I do things. I was really surprised about how well these truffles/macaroons turned out. They really can be two different things, depending on if you dip or drizzle the chocolate! These do not need to be baked or dehydrated (in fact, I think that …
