I enjoy running and weight lifting and eating a healthy plant-based diet. I get plenty of nutrients from my food because my workouts are pretty moderate. My husband on the other hand has been doing P90x. With a workout this [...]

I hadn’t run since high school and as a 30 something adult it wasn’t super easy to get back into running shape. I kept it up though and now I can say that [...]

This has meant countless apps, blogs, feeds and searching to get just the recipes that I want. [...]

I ran in the Race for the Cure 5k on October 23, 2010. My friends and family really helped to support my cause by donating to the event. My husband came out to wait for me at the finish line and photograph my [...]

My friends and family have been familiar with my ongoing battle with cigarettes through the years. As my husband liked to proclaim, “She’s the best quitter I know!” Unfortunately, what was meant by that [...]

I try to eat well (as close to vegan as I can muster), I exercise (not as often as I should, but I do), I gave up smoking and I meditate. I am currently following the Mahayana Buddhist path which encourages a healthy lifestyle and finding [...]

I love oatmeal packets, but there is so much sugar that over time I stopped using them. I started buying quick cooking oats and [...]

As I craned my neck to see this unusual bread in the [...]

However, many are not so lucky. As an example, when I go to visit my father who lives in a more rural area, it’s much more challenging to find vegan/vegetarian meat alternatives or [...]

As a follow-up to my previous post “The ‘Buch is On!” I can say that it appears to have been a successful experiment. I finally had a thin, white, filmy pancake looking SCOBY grow on top of my tea brew. It looked like kombucha, it smelled like kombucha, so I called it done. I [...]
