A few years ago, I was really into reading about raw food and other natural healthy ways of living. I was having some annoying health issues, and I kept trying to “clean” my diet and life so that my body would heal itself. I was so determined not to use a bandaid approach—to address actual …
I’ve mostly readjusted to being home…after a road trip with my friend Carrie, two of her kids (ages 5 and 6), and Matthew (age 8). We went to the Jersey Shore for a few days and had a blast! The kids had never been to the ocean before, so it was a lot of fun …
I mentioned it before, but I really didn’t eat anything out of the ordinary while I was in Cali. I was really impressed by the healthy choices that were available…everywhere. I didn’t, however, stick to the Feed My Mitochondria plan (I mean, I could have had some seaweed but I’m not so sure it would …

First thing’s first… I made donut holes that had no sugar added, and no grains. And they actually turned out amazingly well. I won’t mention the donut recipe Matthew and I tried a few weeks ago that was disgusting. We made a huge mess, and were completely disappointed. Hey, I mean, it happens sometimes. Shortly …

A few years ago, when I moved to Pittsford, I was enthralled with the Pittsford Wegmans—it was a bit overwhelming at first, but I got into a groove there quickly, and made almost daily trips (after all, I lived 0.24 miles away!). Shortly after I began shopping there, I noticed the produce department had all …

It’s Thurrrrsday! This week feels funny to me because I haven’t exercised or been active at all, and I keep checking in with myself to make sure that I really can’t yet, and am not just using my wounds as an excuse (so far, I’m not). I know, you know…I have stitches. I’m still in …

Today, I have a review to share with you. Over the last 7 years, since I read the book, Naked Chocolate, I have been a great fan of all (unprocessed) things cacao/cocoa. Like most people, I spent most of my life believing that chocolate was an indulgent dessert. It wasn’t until I learned about the …
In regards to feeling good, I’m one of those people who will continue to experiment until I feel the best I could possibly feel. Or till I die, whichever comes first. I didn’t realize that I felt crappy for the first 24 (or so years of my life) until I started to feel better. I …

I’ve been trying to think of a way to make cereal that doesn’t involve any grains. Or much sugar. And really, this kind of stumped me because low-sugar and no-grain cereal doesn’t sound very good (can it even be called cereal?). Today I came up with a cross between granola and cereal…and it was chocolate …
I finally finished my elimination diet. It felt like it took for ever, and I’m pretty sure I know why. When it was time to add in nuts…I didn’t really want them. When I added a food back in, I would try to eat it three times a day, but I kept forgetting (maybe accidentally …
