A Magnificent Minestrone Soup

There is nothing quite as comforting as the slow simmer of soup on a blustery winter day. This winter I am compiling some of my favorite soup recipes to share with my Repertoire of Ease group and this one is sooooooo yummy I thought I’d share it here as well. Minestrone Soup 1⁄2 lb. diced

Archeology of A Mysterious Illness

I entered ‘the mysterious illness club’ in the spring of 2016, nine months before Donald Trump became our next president. You might be wondering what this has to do with the archeology of a mysterious illness. I’ll spare you my political commentary; suffice it to say that the stress of the 2016 election (and its

From Raw Food Vegan to Paleo and Back!

Have you missed me? I haven’t written in a while. Mostly, for over a year actually, I have been immersed in a tenacious search for healing. A perfect storm of events led to a complete breakdown of my immune system which led to a seemingly endless search for ANSWERS. Of course, I began with ‘the

Can’t Go Back

Thank you, Mr. Trump. I know right? If you’ve been following me on social media you’ve seen a side of me that has never before emerged in my writing. For the first time ever I brought politics into my “social” sphere. I remember the first day I spoke up in someone’s Facebook thread knowing my

The Perfect Storm

I’m calling this the summer of self care. Deeply delicious and oh-so-necessary self care. Aside from the moving meditation that comprises most of my kitchen adventures, one of my favorite self care practices is crawling into bed with pages that turn. My bookshelves often reflect the landscape of my life. This summer I found myself

Smoothies For “Eat Your Way to Gorgeous” Skin

Recently I noticed that I had kind of fallen away from one of my most nourishing practices: my smoothie habit. In the winter months I lean toward warming foods. The mere thought of a smoothie brings goosebumps. That’s when my steam pot finds its way to the stovetop and pretty much stays there all winter.

Unconditional Love

I dreamed of you last night, a visit from the other side of the veil. It was decades ago. You were standing in a pew smiling at your nephew as he said his vows holding the hands

of the church eyes riveted on you. It
