Happy Birthday, Keeley!
Keeley hiking Mt. Cabot (just shy of 7 yrs old) We’ll get back to some straight-up nutrition talk shortly, but I hope you’ll indulge me this moment today to meditate some more on another non-food aspect of life that nourishes us and supports our good health. Keeley is my now 7-year-old dog, and today is her ...
Midnight Canning: Blackberry Jam and Apple-Mint Jelly
Friday night I went to my good friend Sadie’s house to hang out and do some canning. We had grand plans to make blackberry jam, apple-mint jelly, pesto, and I think there was something else (clearly we never got that far). Let me start by saying that my friend Sadie is absolutely amazing! She has ...
Cool Your Tastebuds with Kolrabi-Apple Salad
Thanks for starting to use the feedback boxes at the end of posts. I’m hearing that you want more recipes, so here’s one more to help you cool down and refresh your tastebuds after those stuffed poblanos. Last week during my tour of area farmers markets, I bought some kolrabi. I’d never had kolrabi before and ...
Tri-Market Stuffed Poblano Peppers
Over the last 8 days, I’ve been to 3 farmers markets in honor of National Farmers Market Week 2010. Okay, you got me — I’ll use any excuse to hit the farmers markets. I usually head to my local farmers market (in Newmarket, NH) on weekends, but this week I also went to Exeter on ...
Easy Recipe for Healthy, Homemade "Ice Cream" (Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, No Added Sugar!)
I’ve been getting requests for more recipes, so I thought I’d share this dessert I threw together recently: Cherry-Vanilla Coconut Milk “Ice Cream”. This one came to me last week during my long stretch of no grocery shopping. I only had a few random veggies left (maybe I’ll share my sauteed radishes story another time?) ...
Guilt and Negative Self-Talk Do Way More Harm Than a Bagel!
Yep, me again. Two posts in one day. A dangerous precedent, I know, but I really wanted to share my experience with CRAVINGS from earlier today. I think it’s important to post the challenging moments alongside the seemingly effortless (HA!) healthy successes. So, here goes. In the interest of full disclosure (because we all deviate ...
Creative Cooking: Making the Most of What You’ve Got
With all the traveling I’ve been doing lately, I keep missing farmers’ markets (and even grocery store trips), and I’ve found myself throwing together some interesting meals. Today I’m sharing with you my Greens-Beans-and-Millet “Burgers”, but keep your eyes open for my other interesting, healthy, and totally slapped-together concoctions, including Cherry-Vanilla Coconut “Ice Cream” (coming soon!). ...
Free Hugs for Graduation!
You may have already seen this video: Free Hugs in Sondrio, Italy, or one of the other Free Hugs video clips. They’ve been circulating and they are really wonderful. I don’t even want to say that much about it. Just see for yourself. Trust me — it’s good stuff! What? You’ve already seen it? Go ahead and ...
"Humane" Certification: More Food for Thought
I just came across this post about Supporting “Humane” Certification (from the Natural Gourmet Institute’s blog), and I wanted to offer you the link to continue the discussion about ethical food choices that we started last month. For some different perspectives on this important and sensitive topic, give their posting a quick read. And if you feel ...
Feeling Hot? Just Breathe.
A friend recently sent me an article stating that June 2010 was the hottest June on record. Well, at least I’m not going crazy!…it really has been as hot as it’s felt. Not surprisingly, the focus of my blog and newsletter topics of late has been staying cool and feeling refreshed in this summer heat. I’ve written ...
