Lovin’ the Winter Squash These Days
I love winter squash. There are so many different varieties: butternut, acorn, pumpkins, delicata, and spagetti squash, to name a few. They keep forever in your kitchen/pantry/cellar without going bad, they are incredibly nutrient dense, they’re so sweet and tasty, and they are really great for you for several reasons. Winter squashes are a great ...
Hot Cocoa (Cacao) in the Raw
Sure, it’s hot chocolate season and you should go ahead and indulge because chocolate is good for you. You’ve probably heard that before, right? Remember, though, when people say that chocolate is good for you, they’re not talking about processed milk chocolate. They are talking about dark chocolate (70%+ is the party line), or even better ...
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 ...
Naturally Refreshing Drinks (Part II): Jugo de Sandia
Back in May, I told you that when I lived in Costa Rica I discovered my 2 favorite naturally refreshing drinks. In that original post, I wrote about agua de pipa (coconut water). And now, given this ridiculous heat wave we are experiencing, it’s time to mention the other: jugo de sandia (watermelon juice). Flashback ...
We Are How We Eat: Let’s Make Some Food-Mood Connections
As you know from previous posts, I did a 10-day spring detoxification cleanse back in April. As part of that process, I kept a detailed food-mood log. I wrote down everything I ate and drank, what kind of activity I did, how I slept, how I felt (foggy, energetic, sad, focused, etc.), digestive problems, congestion, ...
Healthy Junk Food?
I have been doing a Spring Greens Cleanse since last week, and the food on this cleanse mostly comprises greens and spring veggies (kale, arugula, fennel, watercress, asparagus) and some lighter grains (quinoa and millet). I love all that stuff, so it’s been really fun and I feel great eating all this seasonal food. But ...
