A compassionate, mindful way of life.
It’s no secret that I am obsessed with tahini. The first recipe I ever published here, many years ago, did indeed use tahini. I even joke with people that if I ever write a book, it will be all about tahini! Funny story….have you ever gotten so excited about something such as a book, a…

We’ve been doing really well about drinking at least one green beverage a day – whether in smoothie form or juice. Today, I’m sharing one of my latest favorite juice combos!

Read MoreWe start every morning off with a superfood smoothie – it’s a great way to sneak in a whole bunch nutrient rich foods, especially when you’ve got a toddler. Our kiddo is on a green strike – she refuses all things green, but hidden in a smoothie, she’ll suck it down! Silly girl, I hope…
Read MoreNothing says summer like a cold fruit smoothie. This morning I decided to try my hand at making a Blue Sunset…I’ve seen many variations of this drink – some using oranges, strawberries, spinach, coconut oil and much, much, more.
