Fall has made it to San Antonio at last, at least for today that is. It was so great to have the windows open this morning and to spend the day outside. It’s such a relief to actually feel a breeze especially after we suffered through a really, really hot summer. I started my morning…
When I was a foodie one of my favorite things to eat in the summer was French breakfast radishes smeared with high fat European butter, delicately sprinkled with fleur de sel. So simple yet so heavenly. We always paired this with a dry mineraly Aligoté or a soft dry rosé. A chef friend of ours…
Behold the bounty from my son’s garden. We have so much fresh produce that it’s almost difficult to eat it all. I never thought I’d be saying that, but it’s true. Let me break it down for you. We harvested potatoes today for the first time, which was very exciting. We have never grown potatoes…
I Recently had the opportunity to sample some raw energy bars from the Bearded Brothers, formally known as Adventure Naturals. I was really excited about trying these bars because they are 100% organic, mostly raw and made in Austin Texas. I love to buy local as much as I can so I was really hoping…

Hope everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving. Ours was very good, but I was glad to spend a quiet day at home today without any company. It always takes so long to clean up after a meal like that. My menu was slightly different then I originally planned. I ran out of time so I…
Yesterday we had another family movie night, I really like this tradition a lot, It’s a great way to start the weekend. It seems like we are always picking movies with dogs in them, what can I say we are animal lovers. Last week we watched Marmaduke and last night we watched Balto, my son…
Today I had such a fun time spending the day with my son. We were out all day, yet I still managed to stay raw and eat healthy all day. I started my day off with my usual large green juice and packed a young coconut shake, some veggies and fruit with me as I…
