What is it about the color orange? It is so visually stimulating, and when we start making orange-colored foods, it feels quintessentially fall-like. It’s a rainy day here in New England, so the contrast of the vibrant orange soup I just whipped up against the drab day is pretty dramatic. It’s a sweet potato and […]
I love it when my health coaching and yoga worlds intersect. This morning I taught a class on “satya” or “truth” which comes from yogic teachings. I spoke about finding your own truth and being a bit more accepting of where you are on your journey. This weekend I was painting (walls, not landscapes) and
To me! It was a year ago that I discovered how to nourish myself so that my inflammation, which was rampant throughout my body, manifesting as bursitis, sinusitis, allergies, rashes and more, finally subsided.

Growing up, my grandparents used to visit us pretty regularly, and my grandmother was always quite concerned about my mother’s waistline. “You should wear a girdle, Diane,” she used to say (seriously were people still wearing girdles then?). My mom was drawn to Entenmanns’s boxes, which were frequently found on our counter.. Looking good into

It’s time I tackled the topic of gluten. It’s hard to walk through the grocery store these days without reading “gluten free” or “GF” on something. The general public is obviously concerned or marketers wouldn’t be alerting people that their goods were free of the stuff. So what exactly is it, and why make the

Here are a couple of quintessential summer recipes. Made them both today! When it is super hot in July and the mint in the garden is pretty unwieldy, I know it is time for Timothy’s tea. A special concoction my son and I created last summer to cool off, fashioned after a bottled tea we
