My son is obsessed with Legos and has an extensive collection so naturally visiting Legoland is a top priority at my house. We have been there four times and each year it gets more and more exciting for us. I am not a theme park lover especially large ones like Disneyland; they seem so noisy…
When my husband works late I like to embrace my lazy side and put together a quick dinner that is mainly raw vegetables and a soup. Last week was made up of may nights like this. I was craving pesto so I made a quick batch to dip my vegetables in and enjoyed a light…
Today I signed up for Thrive in 30, with Brendan Brazier. I really admire him, he is a professional Ironman Triathlete and he eats only whole plant based foods. I’m excited to learn from him over the next 30 days. I’m not vegan, but I do eat mostly a plant based diet. You don’t have…

Tonight for dinner I made salad and it was all my husband’s idea. Yes my meat loving husband wanted salad for dinner, my eyes light up when I heard this. We are going skiing in a few weeks so he has been exercising and eating lighter dinners to gear up for it. Needless to say…
We all know I love salads, I eat them daily. Yesterday I wanted something a little bit different so I made this layered salad, it was quick easy and delicious. Layered Salad (serves 1) 1 Head radicchio chopped 1 Cup cauliflower florets chopped 2 Large handfuls of sprouts 1/2 Avocado diced (optional) Layer the ingredients…
This weekend was a little rough for me, I felt like it was meat eaters vs. plant eaters at times. Especially when my husband and son made their bacon and egg breakfast tacos on Sunday. I try not to separate myself from the guys when they eat meat, but I really, really, really don’t like…
