The air around us here in New England is finally feeling a bit warmer. On this overcast and slightly humid Friday, I decided to prepare a few healthy foods to make weekend meals quick and easy. I made my White Bean & Avocado Hummus, and put it in my beautiful new Polish Pottery bowl find […]
It’s the end of January and my craving for fresh greens is kicking in strongly right about now. My fix? Kale is a winter green, citrus is in season, avocados, celery, apples & pears are all colder weather crops so I feed my desire on these things. Last night while dinner was in the oven […]
Eating whole unprocessed foods is easier than you think. Try it for just one week to start out. A whole food is anything that isn’t in a box or can, hasn’t been altered by preservatives, added chemicals and so-called flavorings such as sodium, sugar, oils, *spices (especially when they’re not listed individually) etc. A few […]
A good way to begin a healthy summer is by eliminating toxins from the body. What are toxins? Toxins are poisonous substances produced in living cells that are often responsible for causing disease, illness and negative side affects in our body.

A healthy mind and spirit is important and it’s a good habit to take a little time out of each day for just that. Today, while there is still a touch of snow melting away after a record snowy winter here in New England, it felt nourishing to get outside into the sunshine for a […]
Just a quick check-in here. As you might know, I’ve been backing off from bread and dairy, not totally eliminating it, for the past five days. I decided to weigh myself after breakfast this morning and I am down four, yes 4, pounds! It always amazes me how quickly our body reacts to the foods […]
I’m breaking the bread habit and I have decided to have a big salad every day…HUGE one! As long as you put healthy foods into your salad, leaving out meat, or at least limiting it to a small amount, using a variety of vegetables, seeds and nuts and use oil and vinegar and ground black […]
Last week I ate bread, a lot of bread, I’m a big fan of the stuff. I like grainy, seedy, crusty whole grain bread and I like plain white bread; bread is my friend….bread is my foe. After eating a more than usual amount I felt bloated and consistently full – my gut felt hard […]
