Bottoms Up For Breakfast
Taking care of ourselves is how we manage our health; there’s no other way around it. It may be a simple concept, but it’s overlooked every single day in favor of taking care of everyone and everything else. Just like breakfast. We skip breakfast thinking we don’t need it. We aren’t hungry—we just want our […]
Who else “Hass” to have a daily dose of avocado?
If I could be married to a food, avocado might be the lucky guy. So delicious and healthy, this tree fruit (also known as the Alligator Pear) is not only an incredibly high-quality source of fat, but it’s also very versatile. I enjoy avocado on its own with a simple drizzle of balsamic vinegar and […]
Which mineral-rich seasoning should you be bathing in?
Salt is a pretty essential ingredient in our kitchens. We use it all the time, but did you know that not all salt is created equal? The most common salts on the go tend to be table salt, kosher salt, and sea salt. Table salt is the most processed and most commonly used in homes […]

The common weed that can help beat bloat
While a gardener might disagree, I believe dandelions are much more than a springtime nuisance. Dandelions are among the most nutrient-dense plants you can find in nature. Dandelion has been used medicinally in many different cultures over the centuries, especially the roots and leaves of the plant. Dandelion root is a staple in my home, […]
Liquid Lunch (or breakfast… or dinner)
Have I mentioned before how much I adore smoothies? Yes, yes, I believe I have! I start each day with a big ol’ healthy blended drink. But guess what? Sometimes I have a smoothie for lunch or even for dinner. Let’s be honest . . . life gets hectic sometimes, and while I like to […]
What sweet snack can relieve holiday stress?
I love seeing sweet little clementines all over the place this time of year. These deep orange little citrus fruits are easy to peel and absolutely delicious. I love eating clementines out of hand, and they’re also wonderfully delicious tossed into a green salad. (I adore foods that come in biodegradable packaging!) Clementines are also […]
