So while waiting for a client the other day I was catching up on the important information in the world via “Us” Magazine. In it a celebrity was quoted saying she enjoys working out but hates “dieting.” For some reason while working out myself this morning that little quote jumped back into my head and I started getting more and more upset by it. I realized Read more »

Hello friends! So it has been just over a year since I made the decision to go gluten-free, and it’s definitely been one of the best decisions I’ve made in this life! I’ve learned that there is a vast and delicious world on the other side of wheat, and one that alleviates many chronic problems. In the past year I have not had one episode of itchy, swollen eyes that plagued me the two years prior, and I stopped getting hives on my legs that had also cropped up at the same time. And since I have been a little girl I have...

Hello again dear friends. My apologies for once again dipping below the radar. As many of you already know, three weeks ago, after 3 and a half years of courtship, Ameesh and I have decided to get a joint bank account and celebrate with a really big party.

But for many people, the holiday season can be terrifying. The average American gains about 5 lbs over the winter. Not 100% attributed to holiday eating, but if you think trying to eat well over the holidays is a lost cause, then that could very well be your winter weight. We naturally crave heartier, richer foods in the winter as it is, an ancient protection mechanism for...

I’ve recently been on this Sunshine Burger kick- can’t get enough of ‘em. For breakfast of late, I’ve been making a couple eggs with a burger patty and it really keeps me satisfied. They’re basically veggie and sunflower seed burgers with brown rice and seasonings. Super tasty. I’ve been gobbling up the Southwest, Breakfast, and Garden Herb varieties. I highly recommend. Look for them in the freezer section in health food stores, Whole Foods, or even some regular grocery stores who are incorporating...
