I have a hunch that sales of juice cleanses and juicer machines go way up in January...again just a hunch 😉 And I have to admit to helping those sales last year when I purchased my juicer as I embarked on my Gratitude Cleanse. But unlike most people who end up using their new-fangled machine for a …

Dinner Dishes
Stumped for dinner ideas this week? If you like simple and healthy meals give these two a whirl: Spicy Teriyaki Salmon I simply grilled the fresh salmon on a grill pan and drizzled spicy teriyaki marinade (I recommend the Trader Joe's variety) over it as it cooked. At the same time, I sautéed some kale with …
Health Magazine Dinner Recipe Fail
This is the delicious and creative meal that I thought I would make for dinner tonight: And this is how it turned out: Let's just say that the patties didn't really hold their shape... Still delicious 🙂 Shoutout to my dedicated reader Kathleen Lai! She has some sweet watches and her dinners are on point! …
Vodka Sauce
After a day of walking around town, enjoying the 80 degree weather, I was inspired to cook a fresh and healthy dinner. I took my cue from my favorite vegan cookbook, The Rawesome Vegan Cookbook.

So tonight was a grocery store …
When I Don’t Feel Like Cooking
I really enjoy cooking. Whether it's throwing something together that I made up, or following a recipe ingredient by ingredient, I am happy in the kitchen.

Juicy Juice
I am still juicing and I think I came up with my favorite combo so far: 2 heads of romaine lettuce 1 pear 1 apple 1/2 lime
Green Sauce
It's officially February, which means that I have been a vegan (more or less) for a whole month. Ever since the cleanse started back on January first I have taken flour and sugar out of my diet, as well as animal products. When I started the cleanse I didn't plan to take it past its …
Trusting Your Gut
I consistently say throughout my classes that students should be listening to their bodies and not pushing past their limits. Tonight I trusted my gut feeling and listened to my body just in time. It has been a long day of teaching, starting early in the morning and again mid-day, as well as taking care …
