We all talk about the importance of buying organic produce and its almost just a forgone assumption, even though you may not know exactly why its important. The sad truth is that we are living in a world where more and more, our food is harming us and degrading the over all health of our […]
Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution Season 2 Episode 1
Did you watch it? I’ll share the video below for sure, but more then anything I just had brief commentary… If you watched last season, you’ll know the drama that arose with all the sugar that is in the colored milk they give kids in school. I won’t get into that now because I’m sure […]
Food Practice For Two: Creating A Set Menu
Inspired by my time with my brother over the last two weeks, I came home with a renewed passion for a deeper Food Practice with Jon. I shared with him that the structure of the day opened up such a lovely rhythm to the day, and it also lent itself to more face to face […]
Lola’s Mexican Cafe In Long Beach, California
I’ve been off the mountain now for two weeks. And although I miss it, you all know that I love me my old stomping grounds. NO trip to the lowlands is complete without going to Lola’s Mexican Cafe in Long Beach! In fact all my friends are over the fact that when asked where to […]

The cookies are flourless, delicious and leave room for quite a bit of alterations as when I first heard the recipe shared, it was with peanut butter. I found chocolate peanut […]
Baked Apples And Ice Cream
We really don’t tend to be dessert people in this house. On occasion Jon and I will have a small bowl of vanilla ice cream – his with chocolate on top and mine with a sprinkle of cinnamon. But thats generally it. After dinner, we simply don’t have dessert. In my quest to find gluten […]

I love Native Foods, and have even posted recipes from the cook book that comes from the creator of Native Foods. Its a great restaurant […]
Ginger Basil Pesto And Breakfast
Eggs and rice is one of my favorite things, and a comfort food with memories buried deep into my childhood. It was one of my fathers favorites, and the only breakfast he would make. So eggs and rice for breakfast it was, and because I had a little something special stored in the refrigerator for […]
