Super Bowl is apparently the most watched event on television so that means a lot of you are going to be sitting in front of the tube chowing down on finger foods while Tom Brady and Eli Manning fight it out on the field. Though I am not huge fans of either teams I do [...]

Diets that Work
Apparently Dr. Oz talked about Matcha not too long ago but since I don’t watch tv I was behind on this. I was reading a magazine a few weeks ago that announced that 1 teaspoon of powdered green tea is equal to drinking 10 cups of normal green tea. At first I was skeptical so [...]
For Christmas I received this handy gadget: I have been wanting this thing for years… so I was super stoked when I opened it up! Okay, so I am not the biggest pasta eater in the world, so why would I want this? Well, I am not the biggest pasta eater because I don’t [...]
It’s been forever and a day since I shared a recipe, or at least it feels that way. So without further ado I give you: Chinese Crispy Pork (Siu Youk) I know what you’re wondering: why am I cooking Chinese pork? Great question! Dan and I are putting a trip together for China later this [...]
I was reading through the news yesterday and came across this gem of an article: “Wood Pulp Found In Many Processed Foods”, I am sure you’re response is much the same as mine: GROSS! and What The Crap? At first I was pretty disgusted to say the least, who the heck wants to eat a pile [...]
One of my favorite things to do is cook, but more specifically I love having the ability to find a yummy recipe and transform it into still being yummy but also healthy. Most “unhealthy” recipes can be tweaked to have a healthy side. And it’s my mission to be able to do it! This video [...]
Last weekend was the end of my 4-week “adventure” with being vegan. I know you’re just giddy in your chair waiting to find out what’s become of me… right? Ok, maybe not giddy but perhaps curious. So, I was all excited to cook up some chicken and just go to town, but then when it [...]
I know I’ve been talking about it a lot, but because of that I feel it only appropriate to give an update. I’m still eating vegan, and going strong. Most of my symptoms have died down a lot but overall I am still not 100% in terms of digestion. To be honest I think it [...]
I’ve made it 2-weeks going vegan (with the exception of my anniversary dinner 9/17). So how are things going? To be honest, I am not so sure. It was going great, however, for the past 3-4 days I have been extremely bloated with some not fun side affects. I eat because I know I have [...]
I came across this recipe from Ohsheglows.com and I couldn’t believe how freaking amazing it was. It pretty much put every other shake I’ve ever had to shame… and I’ve had a lot of shakes! We’ve had some crazy dreary weather here and it makes me really feel as if fall is here… and it’s [...]
I’ve been eating vegetarian now for three days and I am actually enjoying it! So far it’s allowed me to test out foods I normally wouldn’t make. I enjoyed grilled mushrooms last night I love but never make (Dan doesn’t like them) and then tonight I made myself a black bean burger… OMG so good! [...]
I spent three hours in my kitchen yesterday baking! A client had given me a recipe for black bean chocolate and peanut butter vegan cupcakes (say that 10 times fast) and I wanted to experiment. If you’ve ever read any of my recipes before, then you know that following a recipe is really hard for [...]
Who doesn’t love chocolate? Here is a great shake to make about 2 hours before a workout. The reason for it being a perfect pre-workout shake, but not post? Because the fat in the almond butter can actually decrease the absorption rate of the protein. After a workout you want a protein source that gets [...]
The Dirty Dozen is a compiled list of the most pesticide ridden foods. The list is developed by the Environmental Working Group and I have to say some of the data they found was RIDICULOUS! I try to buy as much organic as I can but sometimes I have to pick and choose because of [...]
This is what Dan put together for breakfast yesterday morning. I have to admit I was quite impressed! This is a guy who’s idea of cooking dinner is a turkey sandwich. What is it? Ezekiel English Muffin 1 Egg; 1 Egg White Boar’s Head Turkey Salsa Olives Peppers Splash of Parmesean It’s a little too [...]
