Peach Rooibos Sun Tea

Saturday, March 12th, 2011

Yesterday I was talking on the phone with a friend and went into the bathroom to get something out of the medicine cabinet.  Just as I looked in the mirror he made me laugh and I was astonished!  I couldn’t believe my crows feet!  I had never seen them before.  I have noticed that I […]

Mele in Cartoccio – Baked Apples

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

I lucked out at Vitamin Cottage again the other day.  More $1 bags of organic apples…  So I bought two.  I recreated my Raw Apple Sauce recipe and then decided to whip up an old favorite: Mele in Cartoccio.  I first discovered this recipe while I was living in Florence, Italy.  I used to collect […]

Fig + Hazelnut + Chocolate = Cookies

Saturday, February 19th, 2011

My favorite gelateria in Florence is Gelateria La Carraia for two reasons. Reason #1 They are the best bang for the buck (euro).  You see, I lived in Florence before and after the euro came into creation.  Before the euro, the smallest gelato cost 1,000 lira in most gelaterie.  That was about 50 cents (American).  […]

Review – Real Food Nation

Sunday, February 6th, 2011

I first heard about Real Food Nation from a friend who caught wind of a place in Santa Fe that makes their own gluten-free buns for their burgers…  That was exciting!  As many readers know, it is a rare occasion to find a restaurant that actually makes their own gluten-free substitutions so this was not […]

It is cold here in Santa Fe!  I know that the Northeast and Midwest are getting a whole lot more snow that we have so far this winter, but…it was -2 degrees this morning, and didn’t warm up much more than that.  Apparently there is even a state of emergency here in Northern New Mexico, […]

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 […]
