I woke up this morning feeling green. Well my juice was certainly green: And somehow dinner ended up in the same shade of the rainbow: Zucchini noodles with pesto and rice (plus a little avocado on the side)

I didn’t feel like cooking again
I'm getting ready for our studio's yoga retreat this weekend in the Dominican Republic and I haven't felt like cooking. I've been getting things in order before I leave, taking care of studio tasks and working on my upcoming June wedding. Creating recipes has certainly taken a back seat this week. 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. However, I'm only human and sometimes I'm lazy. That's when I throw things together for a meal. Like this dinner of cooked quinoa that I made the other night, …
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 …
My First Snow
Well, my first snow in quite some time. If you live on the East coast then you have probably encountered a bit of snow over the past 24 hours. I woke up this morning in Central New Jersey with a backyard full of snow and a driveway ready to shovel. I haven't experienced this type …

However, they are plenty over dressed for the balmy 50 degree weather we are experiencing. Back in New Jersey it's below freezing, but here in the bay area it …
Trust is a four letter word and other ways in which I prove I was overly exhausted yesterday
If you had a chance to read yesterday's blog post before I updated it this morning you would have seen a glaring error in the first sentence. When writing that post last night I wrote, "Trust is just a four letter word." Did you catch it? Do you see the majorly incorrect fact? Trust obviously …
Greening in the New Year
Happy New Year! 4 years ago to the day I started this very blog. Every day of 2012 I took a moment to share what I was feeling, eating, doing or not doing. It was a time when I was discovering my love of running and exploring my new home in the Bay Area. Since that year of …
That perfect recipe
I am not a baker. I am not one to take the time to get out the sifter to properly sift the flour. Nor am I the type of person who uses the 1/2 cup measuring cup when I already have a perfectly good (just used) 1 cup measuring cup from which I can just eyeball …
