In talking to my mom and sister today, I noticed we vented continuously about feeling stressed, crunched for time, strung out, etc. My mind raced as I listened to all their stresses and tallied my own. That’s been the trend for me this week settling back into a busy schedule at work, catching up with […]
Tahini Quinoa & Quick Salad
What’s really frustrating about this week is that even though it’s been busy, it seems to be going by slowly! So hooray for tomorrow being Friday! There’s still so much going on at work and I just feel like I need more time to catch my breath and catch up with my growing task list. […]

Interesting article from the New York times for a new Michael Pollan book and seems to support much of the raw diet. The second fact is that people who consume traditional diets, free of the ersatz foods […]
