Carrageenan; Stay Away

I often recommend dairy free milks, like coconut milk, almond, and hemp for a delicious milky beverage to add to your smoothies, or to top your granola, because many people are dairy intolerant or benefit from less dairy in their diet. Homemade nut and seed milks are best, of course, but I used to purchase…

Hemp Milk

Hemp seeds are a balanced protein source and a great way to ensure that you’re getting the protein you need daily. These small and mild tasting seeds contain all of the amino acids necessary, making them ideal for vegans and raw foodists. Hemp also provides magnesium, iron and potassium; minerals we’re often lacking in. I…

I love anything tasting like artichoke, so this soup is something I crave. Sunchokes are rich in inulin, a prebiotic carbohydrate that stimulates good bacteria; translation, these are good for…

B School, is it for you?

People refer to Marie Forleo as Tony Robbins in a skirt, or the new Oprah, or the next big thing. Marie Forleo helped me shine bright like a diamond.. I met Marie two years ago; my business had received some international press, and I needed help fast. A mutual friend introduced me to Marie, and…

What’s in your fridge?

Imagine having someone call and say that they want to photograph your fridge.  It’s sort of like having someone want to peek into your clothes closet.  I’d worry if I left bras and panties lying around. So it was with my fridge.  Well and Good NYC wanted to know..and I barely had time to pick…

Vegetarian Chili

One of my clients assembles this dish in her slow cooker so that dinner is ready to go when she gets home that evening. The portobello mushrooms add a meaty texture and the rice makes it a hearty meal. Ingredients 1 tbsp olive oil 2 onions, finely chopped 4 carrots diced 4 stalks celery diced…

My cell phone rang. “Hey, it’s me. If you could only recommend 5 foods for your health, just 5, that are non-negotiable, what would they be?  What can’t you live without?” It was my sister.  I was shopping at Whole Foods when she called, and her timing was perfect. My sister was one of my…
