Happy St. Patrick’s Day! As we celebrate with green clothes and green beer, I wanted to talk about green food: powders, recipes, and leaves, of course. Eating more leafy greens and other vegetables is one of the easiest ways to improve your diet and your health. I strive to eat them every day. There are also […]

Cookie Dough Balls Recipe
I love cookie dough, but it’s not really something you should eat that often. (Or at all, considering raw eggs. But you know.) Almost more than that, I love finding recipes that taste indulgent but are almost healthy enough to be lunch. This cookie dough balls recipe is one of them. It’s a Sunfood Superfoods (affiliate […]
Falling Off the Wagon (and Getting Back On)
I just spent 11 days in Mexico City, visiting my friend and checking out that great city. As you might remember, up until September I was a happy 90% vegetarian. At that point, I committed 100% to prepare for my upcoming yoga teacher training in India, where we would be served a strict yogic diet. When […]
Peanut Butter Matcha Ball Recipe & Matcha Review
(I made this recipe using this organic matcha powder, which I received as a gift or at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.) As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I just discovered matcha and I love it. I have been using it to make near-daily matcha lattes, but I’ve also […]
Matcha Latte Recipe
I’m a very recent convert to matcha (and the matcha latte, which I’ll get to in a second), but converted I am. I like normal tea, but it’s not something I drink regularly. (I always have green tea and Throat Coat tea on hand, though, in case my throat gets scratchy or sore. They’re my go-tos.) […]
Brisk Bars Review
(I received this product as a gift or at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.) A good food bar is a handy little item. Being hungry usually means getting at least a little bit dull-minded, if not downright grumpy, so having a bar or two in your bag to get you […]
The (Accidentally) Best Tuna Cakes Recipe
My friend made some tuna cakes, and they were so delicious I had to make some for myself. She told me roughly how she did it, but after I started I realized I didn’t have the ingredients I needed. So I made some substitutions, and it turned out amazing. Here it is: the recipe for my accidentally best […]
A Guilt Free Holiday
The holidays are extra busy, but they’re not that busy. Sure we have to go shopping–maybe online, or a trip or two to the mall. We probably have some holiday parties and events to attend, which usually happen at night or on weekends. We’ll spend time baking and decorating, which we can do with our […]
A Delicious Alternative to Chocolate Fudge
I love chocolate fudge. It has long been a holiday favorite of mine, and my Mom makes it every year. However. (You see where this is going.) If you’ve never made fudge, you should know this: you basically put multiple forms of sugar into a pot and boil it NOT TOO LONG and then let it harden […]
The Day Before the Marathon
Four months of training later and here we are: the day before the marathon. I just capped off hundreds of miles of training with an easy two-mile run. It’s incredible how short that distance feels now! But it’s not over yet. I’ve been focused on fueling all week, but today and tomorrow morning more than […]
