I am in the middle of moving right now, but it has been longer than usual since I have shared new recipes with you. We made these oven baked falafels at a retreat at the Lotus Heart Center recently. I have a few recipes still to share from there. These falafels are quite easy to make and they are healthy both because of the ingredients in them and because they are baked and not deep fried or even pan fried as most falafels are. || Read more
One of the often overlooked foods that can make a huge impact on your health is the salad dressings that you use. It’s so easy to blend up a bottle of homemade dressing. Really, you just add ingredients to a blender and blend. But it’s also easy to just pick up a pre-made bottle off the shelf and convince yourself that a little dressing won’t hurt you. Most people do it. The problem is that store bought salad dressings can be the worse culprits in bringing your health down. Some of the most unhealthy ingredients can be found in those little plastic bottles that line our store shelves. || Read more

I hope to share some new meal ideas with you through the menu plan that I made up and followed for the recent Padmani Yoga retreat, hosted by YuMee Chung at the Lotus Heart Center.

Every day lately I have been making a daily trek to the medicine wheel located at the far north west corner on the property of the Lotus Heart Center Retreat. There are interwoven beautiful trails that will lead you there, if you don’t get lost. I get lost easily (which can make life lots of fun) but I’m getting these trails down. Often I forage on my way back to make a really powerful, intensely nutritious superfood smoothie. You know that the healthiest foods are often found in your own backyard, don’t you? || Read more
