In a hot yoga studio. I got turned onto it a couple of months ago by a friend of mine, and I tell ya….. it’s a drug. Imagine a world where homes or businesses were being raided for the illegal distribution of yoga mats. But seriously, I was a doubter at first. Didn’t think I’d be able to make it an hour and a half in a nearly 110 degree room, but I made it, and I was a different person coming out than I was going in. In a really good, non-narcotic induced way.

It’s amazing how quickly one can fall into downward spiraling patterns. With just 2 days of excess, and a hiatus in the exercise routine of weeks past, I’m feeling weighed down in almost every respect.

So after searching for a quick “go-to” breakfast for over an hour, it was on to Operation: Clean Out Pantry. With not much left from our Trader Joe’s mission 2 weeks ago, I was left with few options. There were 4 eggs. I wanted something...

Welcome everyone as I enter the world of blogging! As I imagine, only my friends are reading this right now, and introducing myself would be a bit unnecessary. However, for those who may have stumbled upon this through some distant social networking connection, I will make my first post brief and to the point. My name is Caitlin Grater, and as a holistic nutritionist, and health world enthusiast, people are always asking for advice. Have I read this book and that?; how much fruit is too much?; what do I eat on a daily basis for breakfast,...
