FOOD: How the WHY may trump the WHAT
Why do you eat when you’re not hungry? Have you thought about it? A friend was describing a person to me the other day and referred to her as someone who “just really loves her food!” I think we all love food. The majority of us anyway. And so we use these phrases to let […]
5 Things That Increase Wellness
I slept in today. Finally! With a job that starts at 5am most mornings my body clock kind of has me whipped, even on weekends when I don’t work. While lying there, enjoying my morning coffee and a local magazine called Mint, I thought to myself, “This brings me joy. It gives me a […]
Mindful Bytes-Regulating our Feelings
In yesterday’s blog I talked about how feelings are neither good nor bad and that it is a good practice to welcome those feelings, specifically the uncomfortable ones as they are indicators that something is going on inside of us. Through curiosity and self-compassion, we can begin the work of welcoming our emotions and […]
Mindful Bytes-Changing our Relationship with Food.
“Sometimes I just can’t shovel the food in fast enough.”“When I get home from a stressful day at work, I deserve to reward myself.” “I just love the taste of food so much.” “When I’m indulging, I don’t even care in that moment that I had promised myself I wouldn’t do that again.” Have you […]

Mexican Quinoa Turkey Sausage Salad
[yumprint-recipe id=’1′] I’m in LOVE with trying out different salad recipes. A salad like this differs from a straight lettuce salad in that if you make a big batch, the ingredients are hearty enough to last up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Plus, this salad has all the […]
The Deconstructed Salad!
My mom brought this salad to our New Year’s Day dinner. It is so fabulous and so simple! Directions: Set out a big bowl of torn up Romaine lettuce. On a large platter, compile all of the toppings that you can think of that go well in a salad! Set out a homemade vinaigrette and you […]
Almond Chicken Soup!
November is here, and brings with it a little nip in the air! Warm up with this hearty fall soup, chock full of every healthy macronutrient! That’s why I love this soup…its a meal in a cup. Chicken is your lean protein, yams and kale are your complex carbohydrates, and almond butter is added at […]
