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 used to be a die hard Shamrock Shake fan. Now, the thought of buying something from McDonald’s doesn’t appeal to me, and neither does the ingredient list for the shake (I heard McDonald’s milkshakes are dairy free—is that true?). Today, I thought I’d try making my own version of a Shamrock Shake, even though …
Today was one of those eat-what’s-in-the-house days. I dug around a bit, and came up with these: I worked early, went to the gym…and then I really needed to eat lunch (at 10:45 this morning). Sweet Onion Sliders with Roasted Tomatoes and Blue Cheese For the burgers: I used a mixture of ground bison …

Today, I wellness coached all morning (it was a great morning of talking to people, by the way! Lots of awesome blood pressure readings, good health updates, and positive attitudes/conversations). Next, I came home and worked some more…and after all that, I needed a break before I go to meet another client tonight. So, naturally, …

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 …
Last night, I attended a benefit workshop called Pursuit of Happiness with Kurt Johnsen. He’s the founder of American Power Yoga, and has done a lot of work/learning in things like energy balance, tai chi, kung fu…and even astral travel (which sounds wonderful to me!). I enjoyed the two-hour talk very much, and identified with …
Today, I got a haircut. The funny thing is that I was a total 14 year-old about it and took with me a picture of Jennifer Aniston and her “long bob” style to show the stylist. I didn’t choose it because I want to look like Jen, but I searched Pinterest for “long bob” and …
One thing I’ve missed since I cut down on my starch/sugar intake is…french fries. And other crunchy starchy potato-y things too. It’s not that I ever ate tater tots, but suddenly, when I stopped eating potatoes, I really wanted some. I saw a recipe on Pinterest for cauliflower-based tots, and I intended to make them …
Yesterday, I decided to experiment with a new pb cookie recipe. I just had to decide what to use instead of flour… In fact, my first thought was to re-make the coconut flour mini chocolate cupcakes as peanut butter cupcakes. But I wanted a break from the coconut flour (how many coconut flour flatbread grilled …

How many times can I post about the coconut flour flatbread before you get bored? A few people have tried it already: Thanks for the feedback! I hope others try it too—I’ve made three batches so far, and with the third one, I added grated parmesan to the batter (probably a tablespoon). It was …
