Say Goodbye to the Girls
I woke up today without my beautiful breasts. Swapped them out for no cancer -- a pretty good deal for me. I had cancer on only one side but opted for removing both breasts due to my genetic predisposition. Now my mind is clear, my spirits are happy, and I know my...
Roasted Squash Seeds
This year before the last harvest was in, I was taken by surprise by a group of delicata squash lounging about on the edge of my small backyard garden. The trail of green tendrils last spring meandered away from seedlings I planted in early summer, followed by the...
Stuff Those Cabbages
Toward the end of summer, I am inundated with a number of things: a list of projects I did not quite have time for, happy memories of swimming in ponds and rivers, and a few too many heads of cabbage from our local farm share. I have gotten pretty good at making all...
Energy Pin Balls!
When my kids were little—I had 3 under the age of 4--- I remember thinking sometimes they just seemed like pin balls, they’d get all stirred up from whatever they were playing, they’d be zipping around the house or yard, bouncing from one place to the next, sometimes...

Orange Cranberry Biscotti—Gluten Free!
As patients become more and more informed about food allergies and symptoms attributed to a “leaky gut,” many take up a gluten free diet. Such an approach to food is much easier now than years ago as there are many products and raw ingredients available for most every...
Rice Pudding for a Winter’s Day
I am somewhat of a rice pudding devotee. Something about the creamy texture with the little bumps of rice, the scent of cinnamon and how it reminds me of childhood. When I was growing up a real treat was rice pudding from the deli, which I’m pretty sure was made from...
My Favorite Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies
Sometimes I just need a peanut butter cookie. I also like to make and freeze these because they are high in protein and I can grab for an after work-out snack. 1/2 cup peanut butter, it can also work with sunflower butter 3/4 tsp baking soda 3 tbsp flour- I like to...
Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies in a Snap
I'm always looking for healthy treats for my family & friends as well as my patients. These are so quick and so yummy, and freeze well, too! 1 large egg 2 tablespoons solid coconut oil or butter or half of each 3 tablespoons maple syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract...
