Lett-uce Be Free

First off: Yes, this is a bad Corona-V pun and it was 50% unintentional and 50% I have no shame and lots of bad jokes bubbling up from too many days of being anti-social and having conversations with my dog… Secondly: I don’t know about you but last weeks heat has got me craving all…

Keeping the Sanity

It’s still a bit mind blowing to me that the whole world is energetically and emotionally going through the same heavy shit. There is no doubt in my mind that some of us (if not all of us) are going to be learning new things that we never knew about ourselves before. Stress, whether we…

Divided Breakfast Omelette

Sometimes I forget that the ways I combine food and how I cook are new concepts to some people because I have been using my methods for so long… And it is only because of moving and travelling that I am reminded of my reasons and purpose for sharing my story and knowledge. Several years…

Super Oats

I don’t always crave or love oatmeal, but lately I’ve been going crazy over this blend I put together a couple weeks ago. I needed something substantial that I could pack with me and this seemed to fit the bill. I make mine with extra omega goodies and nutrient dense fruits for that bit of…

The Non-Boreing Salad

I cringe everytime I hear someone say they HATE salads. Frankly I would too if your definition of a salad was the same (Iceberg lettuce, red cabbage, a few shreds of carrot and onions) as what you buy in Walmart, Tesco, or the quick stop deli. I love what certain chain companies, like Freshii, are…

Economics and the Food System -USA

Have we accidentally created an unhealthy and dependent culture through government intervention in the economy and food system? This is an insanely controversial topic and might hit some of you the wrong way. My intention in posting this is not to point fingers and play the blame game, but rather to give stated facts and…

Change Management

An essay I wrote last semester on the change initiatives of the USDA Food Guide pyramid. A lot of technical information, but also a lot of good information. Enjoy! There are few certainties in life like change, summed up from one of my former employers with, ‘the only things certain in life are change, death…
