After a fun filled & relaxing winter vacation with a little more than usual indulgences (sugar/Christmas treats) and fermented grape juice, I’m currently cleansing the body cells doing a 21-day ReBoot – the perfect way to start 2015. If you’ve been following me on Instagram lately, I have been posting some of my ReBoot-friendly meals … Read More...
Happy Holidays to you! Wow, is it me, or did December just fly by… Christmas is in a few days?! I’m horrible when it comes to last minute Christmas shopping (read: still have most of my shopping to do this evening!), planning festivities, cooking, etc. Luckily this year for family Christmas festivities I’m on cookie … Read More...
The winter holiday season is here and that means holiday flavors and cookies (everywhere). But that also means extra empty calories everywhere provoking us to nibble where we find ourselves having to balance those two little voices in our heads- “you can have just one” vs. “no, I’m trying not to be a fatty no … Read More...
Seriously, though… where is it? Isn’t creamer supposed to be cream-based, at least to some degree? In other words, in the essence of the word and assumed consumer purchase, you would think you’re buying a plain or flavored cream for your coffee, right? Not so with Coffee-mate.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I got to take some time off and spend it with family, including my little niece from New Zealand who I had a lot of fun with. I also got a chance to get busy in the kitchen adapting my real food remix raw bread recipe into … Read More...

As most of us know, most all bread is a processed food-like product, it’s not real food (we don’t find … Read More...
Good day fitfam! Cheers to everyone who participated in the $20 Whole Foods/Vitacost gift card giveaway on Instagram for a new unique real food remix ice cream flavor. There were a ton of great ideas everyone suggested on the Mojito ice cream post, but ultimately I had to pick just one and I went with … Read More...
During the summer my friends and I sometimes venture to the Del Mar Plaza in Southern California where they serve some of the best mojitos in town. Recently we were there before heading to the Del Mar Race Track and it’s sort of a summer tradition now to get a mojito pre-track while we’re looking … Read More...
What’s good my friends?! I hope everyone had a fun 4th of July weekend who celebrated. I was able to take a few days off to relax and recharge, including spending some time in the garden setting up a new cinder block bed (cheapest way to build a garden bed and grow food for ~$1.75/block), … Read More...
With the fourth of July just around the corner, I wanted to whip up some fresh salad ideas that can be served as sides for weekend festivities. My goal: a mayo-free spin on slaw to cut back on calories, but that also packed a fresh summer flavor punch, was versatile, full of color and fast … Read More...
