Stepping foot onto the other side of my birthday, I’m excited to launch into a new year around the sun! This weekend was spent doing EXACTLY what I wanted to do – a long 3-hour class with a master yoga teacher, sleeping in, spending time with people I love and, of course, watching Game of…
Take care of thyself should be a motto that everyone, including myself ought to follow. However, it seems for me that life get in the way (or I let it) sooner or later which causes many well-intentioned plans to fall to the way side. I don’t often write about myself in this personal sort of…
I have to admit this to you… I’ve never tasted this recipe. It smells so darn good and it’s so simple, but the final product has never passed these lips. The reason is that I’m highly sensitive to eggs, but my husband isn’t and he LOVES poached eggs! My clients love poached eggs. It’s ridiculous…
The top 2 reasons that clients and myself love an occasional chip is because of the crunch and salt. However the lone combination can leave you eating super-duper junk food that even those special events can’t justify. That’s why I’ve come to love Late July Organic Chips. I’m not saying I eat them every day…
Ever wish you could pick up a really good quality, organic, and gluten-free pasta sauce at the store? Maybe you’re in a pinch or headed away for the weekend and need some staples to keep your family happy. Or maybe you’re not big into planning and tend to purchase products such as pasta sauce. Well,…
Since we recently heard from Dr. Barry Sears all about eating good quality fats, I thought it might be helpful for you to get your hands a little dirty in, well…fat. To be fair, many clients I met sheepishly admit to knowing very little about what fats are food and what are ‘bad’. So, I…
“Gluten & Inflammation” with Dr. Barry Sears Gluten causes inflammation. If you’ve got issues with gluten, then you’ve probably got inflammation too. They go hand in hand for us gluten sensitive folks. Join me and one of my favorite teachers, Dr. Barry Sears (father of the Zone Diet) who shares with us exactly what inflammation…
In honor of Meatless Mondays (you know…the movement to reduce dietary consumption of animal products), I’d like to introduce to you Hilary’s Eat Well Veggie Burgers. These millet-based vegan patties are actually quite tasty…so tasty in fact that my husband (an avid road cyclist) has been asking me to get him more. Combining low-glycemic millet…
Are you game for an easy, incredibly moist & buttery, gluten-free fish dish that cooks in less than 10 minutes? It’s also dairy-free and egg-free too! Now, full disclosure – I’m not the biggest fan of fish, I admit it. Never have been since I was around age 10. So the times when I do…
“The Ancient Greeks described inflammation as the ‘internal fire’…which suggests that our understanding of inflammation hasn’t increased that much over the past 2,000 years!” ~ Barry Sears, Ph.D. from Toxic Fat Got inflammation? I’m willing to bet that you’ll answer ‘no’ to this question and most likely you’re wrong. Dead wrong. The reason I…
