It’s holiday time!! For most people, the time between Thanksgiving through the New Year usually means indulging in lots of sugar, flour, dairy, processed foods, sugary/boozy drinks, and all those usual suspects.

Right now I’m in Los Angeles and I’m staying dangerously close to Cafe Gratitude. I’m talking like a 5 minute walk. I say dangerously because I have been going there very single day, which feels excessive. Ah, well, it’s not the worst place to spend my money…and I’m eating a ton of greens. So I [...]

I’ve always loved avocados. They are one of my favorite foods, for sure. But I never really knew what avocados really had the potential to be like until I tried them in California. They are so incredible out here! They seem creamier, richer, and have a lot more flavor than the avocados I’ve eaten on [...]

The one thing that gets me though…is when guacamole has too many huge chunks of tomato. I mean, I’ll still eat it, but [...]

I love when a great salad comes together unexpectedly. My mom and I came up with this recipe last night based on some ingredients she had around the house.

Happy St. Patty’s Day! Ok, fine. This isn’t actually BEER. Don’t be mad. But it’s green, bubbly, and will make you feel amazing (with no hangover!)
