Minimalism. Mindfulness. Munchies.
Happy Summer! Some would argue that fall is right around the corner, but I’m lucky to be able to ignore that for a few more days. Between camping trips, visits with family, and vacation we’ve been quite busy – but never too busy to eat well! Here are some highlights from our kitchen this...
So…somebunny bought too many carrots — 5 pounds of carrots. A classic example of the Costco effect: “Yeah, my family of 3 who kinda a little sometimes like carrots can finish a 5 pound bag, right? Sure! Toss it in the oversized shopping cart!”…Sigh. What to do? Carrots in the morning, carrots in the...
Didja know you can freeze avocados? I garnered that tidbit many moons ago from Martha Stewart. Avocados have such a high fat content so, like butter, they freeze superbly. Now, she and everyone else on the internet suggest freezing them in bags without the skin or pit – either halved or pureed/smushed like for...
Confession — I can’t make rice. I can cook you Beef Bourguignon, great scones, posole, and even stellar Chinese food (thanks Grace Young!) — but rice? Nope. Maybe that’s because I have a rice cooker? If I didn’t I would have figured it out by now…right? Maybe. I’m doubtful. Maybe my stovetop rice isn’t that...
by Sara Sullivan RECHARGE NOW! Every day, millions of Americans complain of being tired & moody. Most of us chalk it up to having too much to do and not enough time to do it. But often the true culprit is an everyday habit: what we eat, which impacts how we cope emotionally. The food-mood...
by Lauren Raso I recently relocated to London with my partner, from Melbourne Australia. Along with adjusting to the grey skies and early darkness (4:30pm really?!?), I have also been adjusting to London eating and living! As a physiologist, nutritionist and wellbeing consultant, organic and healthy eating and living are both my passion and my career. Back...

Today, she’s talking about great (and totally inexpensive) ways to incorporate more raw foods into your diet. Whether you’re ready to try a raw diet or...
Today, I’ve got part one of my Healthy Eating for Families talk video! I gave this talk for the Rocky Mountain Parents As Teachers group, and it was a ton of fun. I covered three simple strategies for getting your families to eat healthier, and this video covers the first strategy: eat real food....
Snacking is a big part of any healthy eating plan, but it can be fraught with problems. First of all, if you rely on store-bought, pre-packaged snacks, you’re going to be spending an arm and a leg—especially if they’re organic. But if you’re making your own snacks, it’s easy to fall into a rut. So I’ve...
Happy new year! I absolutely *love* any excuse for a new beginning, and New Year’s Day is kind of a big one. I gave up making traditional resolutions a while ago in favor of taking small steps all the time to reach bigger goals. So I sat down and brainstormed all the little changes...
