I finally sat down this week and began to write out my recipes. I have been tracking how much I spend on food this year, and consistently, I am at under $12 a day. This includes three meals a day and a random sweet treat. As I put this together my mind explodes with ideas … Continue reading Sunday Menu

Mindful Eating

While away in Hawaii I was introduced to chopsticks, by a friend. I had fumbled with them over the years when eating sushi, but never really ever thought about them, as an everyday eating utensil.

This year, I have moved to a whole foods, plant based way of eating (I deliberately do not use the word diet) and I want to talk about how it works and how I feel. I do not call myself a Vegan, but Vegan is a word that represents all of my food. However, Vegans … Continue reading Carbohydrates – Yes or No?
