I’m not a gifted gardener, or even average one for that matter, but I’m always inspired to grow my own food, nurture my body and connect with nature.

Happy Earth Day! It’s that time of year for us to get focused on what we can all do to be more gentle with the environment (although truth be told we should do that everyday!). Since I’m crazy about food and choosing the healthiest varieties to feed my body, I thought this would be the

There’s something about quality that trumps quantity every time.
In this case, I’m talking about the quality of the food that we eat, but this same principle could easily be applied to almost anything in our lives - spending quality time on what’s most important, having quality relationships over a bevy of friends, having one nice

The whole point of my cleanse last week wasn’t to detox and then pig out on loads of bad food. It was about a kick-start to consistently healthy eating all year long — a great way to kick the sugar, dairy and wheat habit that slowly crept up on me at the end of last year
