Chocolate Pudding Smoothie
Thursday, January 27th, 2011
I am building a new business… Preparing marketing materials, strategizing on fliers, business cards, how to best use social media… Planning opportunities to network in person and connect with people in my community. But, I am shy, so while I tread into new territory, and step out of my comfort zone to make new connections […]

Raw Apple Sauce
Tuesday, January 25th, 2011
Ever since I moved out West, I have been a big fan of Vitamin Cottage. I find it more down-to-earth than Whole Foods, and with better prices on most items…and has more gluten-free, health geared options than Trader Joe’s. So, a large percentage of my shopping is completed here… But I am definitely one to […]

Quinoa Broccoli Salad
Sunday, January 23rd, 2011
Last night was so much fun! After much anticipation, I finally co-hosted a swishing party (I have been hoping to do this for a while now). For those of you who do not know about swishing, basically it is a great way to get a bunch of friends together and swap clothing. It was great! […]

Sweet Pea and Mint Soup
Sunday, January 16th, 2011
As I mentioned in my last post, I am taking a mini-cleanse weekend. Hopefully a jump start to reconnecting with my love for vegetables, and savory breakfast soups. Saturday was day 1 and it went really well. Yes, I did have cravings, but I did not give in. I reassured myself that I will be […]

Greensicle Smoothie
Friday, January 14th, 2011
Fresh fruit and veggies are feeling good right now. Like many, after the holidays (the cold weather and the dark skies) I am ready for a cleanse. Somehow in the last few months, chocolate, baked goods, and salty snacks have become a much more frequent ingredient in my daily consumption than I would prefer. And […]

Pumpkin Tangerine Spice Cake
Wednesday, December 8th, 2010
Squash, spices, citrus… This cake warms my belly and my soul every time I taste it. I have been playing with the recipe ever since Thanksgiving and I think I have found the perfect combination of ingredients.

Vegan Coleslaw
Monday, December 6th, 2010
The bustling Santa Fe Farmer’s Market has thinned out in the past few weeks. Some vendors are no longer there, and almost all of them have moved inside to stay warm during the early morning hours of the market. Once you arrive inside though, you realize that these farmers still have a great deal of […]
