On Valentine’s Day, I made dinner for my cousin, and for some reason I decided to make up something new. I don’t know why I do that–maybe I like the stress of wondering if it will turn out ok? In any case, this one turned out great. In fact, K said that it’s the best …
This is the first year I’ve been single on Valentine’s Day in 7 years! It doesn’t feel weird or anything–I’m not much of a V-Day person in general. But I am making dinner for my cousin, and my Go To dinner on V-Day is usually crab cakes…however, I think I’ll keep it a little simpler …

My early morning client is just starting to get back in shape after a few years of having a different focus (work, family, etc.). Below is the workout she did this morning. We were focusing on lower body, and because she is only in the second week of training, we chose to do 30-second intervals with …

I made these when I was staying at my Mom’s house and they’re amazing… I made them again recently, but for some reason did not take pics. I’ll just include the original pic, even though they are in ball-shape instead of macaroon-shape. They work either way! Almond Maple Macaroons Mix: 1 cup coconut 3/4 cup …
I won’t lie, living where the sun comes out everyday can be a little distracting for me in the work department! Since I’m working mostly from home, I have further distractions (laundry, Hulu, etc.). I’ve got a good system going now–early morning client, go for a walk, cup of coffee, work… yoga, friends, etc. I …

I was thinking a lot about the idea of transformation today (well, actually, I’ve been thinking about it pretty steadily since 2003, almost always claiming to be in limbo in some way), and my Mom sent me a link to a Dear Sugar column that had an awesome description of transformation in it (I heart …

I know, more fruit snacks? I just can’t help it. They’re easy and good, and awesome for you. Side note: the Wine Fruit Snacks are still my favorite. I’ll let you know if that ever changes! Coconut Lemon Cream Fruit Snacks 4 T coconut oil 2 cups coconut water 2 T maple syrup (I use …
I miss real regular waffles… and I’ve made so many grain free ones that turned out just ok. They were either too rubbery or too soft or just had some weird texture or flavor. My worst ones basically turned out like rubber with the flavor of eggs… So anyway, I’m picky about my waffles, and …
I’m a great big fan of superfoods—real accessible superfoods that have proven benefits, and that don’t (always) come from exotic lands and cost loads of money. I like to look to history and experience and stories in addition to research studies to find out what real superfoods are. Since I found information about gelatin several …
I’ll cut to the point here, and I’ll explain much more about the health benefits of gelatin tomorrow, but I invented fruit snacks made out of wine yesterday (at least in my mind I invented them—maybe it has been done before?). They were amazing. So, I refined the recipe a little, and made them again …
