Back in the day Sandy and I used to make Caprese salads our way. I loved fresh Buffalo mozzarella but disliked tomatoes so we would layer the perfect bite as follows: Biggie basil leaf, cucumber and sliced mozzarella drenched in the best Balsamic we had on hand. We would eat them one right after the […]

As our runs have continued to get longer and longer, the need for hydration throughout the run has become greater. Coach Kelly recommended a hydration belt which holds four 8oz bottles of liquid and has a little pocket for (kale) chapstick or our energy gels. I researched the belts online and found out they were […]

I have found that I am most successful at integrating lifestyle changes when I take it one step at a time. Sometimes easing into things helps me feel more successful and encourages me to continue trying. Many times I have been temporarily inspired by desire but then unable or unwilling to sustain my new habit. […]

Image Courtesy of 4seasonsgreenhouse.net The necessity to use the abundance of green tomatoes we had, the desire for a quickie meal and the love of all things green were the collective inspiration for this dish. We threw everything in the food processor, boiled pasta, wilted kale and had a stunning meal. Photo By: S. Duquet […]

If I could capture Summer in a bottle I would crawl inside of it and live there forever. The smells, the heat, the tastes…they are here and then gone in the blink of an eye. I have begun gathering (hoarding) Summer fruit at its peak and chopping and freezing it for a later date. I […]

A few weeks ago while at the farmers market picking up our CSA share, I overheard my friend Charlie from Living Stones farm telling another customer to add beets to her mashed potatoes. He told her that they would add a soft sweetness and earthiness. Plus, they would turn the mash pink or purplish, depending […]

Happy Meatless Monday. Since becoming vegan I have found that making a weekly trip to my local bulk food store is really worth it. Many of the items that I use all the time are there in their least expensive form like dried beans, nuts, and nutritional yeast. Last time I was there, I was wandering […]

Image courtesy of Naturallivingmoms.com This has been one of the hottest, most fantastic summers I can remember in a long time. It is hot when I wake up and hot when I get in bed. I absolutely love it. The air is moist and steamy in a way that almost steals your hunger. Chilled soups […]
