I am a bit of a cynic when it comes to certain holidays, because I think they are commercialized and focused on buying gifts for people. I now understand why my mother always asked for "no fighting" or "help around the house" in lieu of gifts for holidays like Mother's Day. Every mother I know has ...
Anti-Microbial Spiced Chai Recipe
I promise this is the last time I will complain about the weather. But really, for LA, this rain and sub-60 degree temperatures are cramping my style. I want my money back! I am drinking more hot water and tea than ever to stay warm and relying on more cooked food than raw. I know that spices ...
Grain-free Seed Crackers Recipe
I'm conflicted writing about a recipe that comes from a book about detoxing and cleansing since I do neither. But I do like Gwyneth Paltrow's taste in food and her style of cooking, so I knew I would find something delicious and healthy in her new book, The Clean Plate. Just to be upfront, GOOP ...
Sautéed Apple Power Bowl Recipe
I met my husband's grandmother, who is now 103 years old and going strong, about 30 years ago. She had a habit of drinking only hot water all day. No lemon or lime or juice added. Just plain hot water. I don't know what possessed me to follow her lead, but I did and I never looked back. I drink ...
Gingerbread Pancakes Recipe
Nothing says December, winter, or Christmas to me quite like gingerbread anything. I love, love, love all those warming spices - the more, the better. I find the combination of cinnamon, cloves, and ginger to be intoxicating. Every year I either teach or post a new gingerbread-flavored recipe. I ...
Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal Recipe
Last pumpkin recipe until next October - I swear! In reality, I made and shot this recipe last winter, but I felt that my readers wouldn't find a baked pumpkin oatmeal as appealing in January as they would in October. The truth is, I eat pumpkin all year long. I love pumpkin pancakes, oatmeal, ...
Pumpkin Spice Yerba Mate Latte
When I was at Trader Joe's a few weeks ago and spotted the first pumpkins of the season, I felt conflicted. Why rush it? I feel like school has barely gotten going. To me, pumpkins signify Halloween, which means Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we all know what comes after that! I ...
Chocolate Energy Smoothie from “How To Be Well”
It's smoothie weather! I've mentioned on the blog before that I don't do smoothies when the weather is cool or cold. And in general, I actually try not to eat too many smoothies on an empty stomach. An acupuncturist told me decades ago not to consume ice cold beverages with meals as they squelch ...
Mushroom and Leek Quiche with Sweet Potato Crust Recipe and My Online Cooking Classes
I had a wonderful few days in NY. It was a perfect balance of fun (spending time with my family) and work, which was also fun! Thank you to The Feed Feed, the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Keri Glassman and Nutritious Life, and Real Simple Magazine for the great live collaborations. ...
St. Patrick’s Day Green Breakfast Cookies Recipe
I hope I'm squeezing in this recipe in time for your St. Patrick's Day baking! I know how much fun it is to surprise the kiddos with green treats on St. Patrick's Day. I have had amazing feedback from the "green" recipes I have posted in the past. If you're new here, you must check out ...
The Best Grain-free Sandwich Bread Recipe
After I posted this bread on Instagram over the weekend, I had no idea that the reaction would be so enthusiastic for this recipe! I'm excited to share it with you, but I didn't have time to remake it and photograph the step-by-step instructions. So just read through the instructions so you are ...
