I seriously bless this month. For it is the start of Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) Season. Hurrah and amen.

Cracking open the MPW recipe book to share my FOUR favorite healthy cocktails for the holiday weekend!

First off, a mixitarian is an actual diet unto itself- an extension of the paleo diet to be exact. This way of eating is basically “Paleo Lite”, where you add in “carefully chosen grains, legumes and natural sweeteners” to your caveman-esque menu. We’re also at the end of our TPL rundown of the most popular […]

Is paleo good for you? Today, we’re venturing back in time to an age of basic needs, striking starry nights and (probably) bad hair days… That’s right, next up on our MPW low down on eating options is the Paleo Diet. Paleo is short for Paleolithic, referring to the era in our planet’s history that […]

We’re going to dive into my favorite “diet” today, one that I personally practice – plant-based eating. The plant based benefits are too good to ignore! This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be a full vegan or vegetarian.

I’m talking in your kitchen, the heart of your home, where nature’s bounty is transformed into delicious, home-cooked meals.   Well, at least that’s the plan, right? I love nothing more than whipping up a tasty, […]

On average, women in America will spend 30 years of their lives dieting. That is a tremendous amount of time, energy and lots of money to spend on something when diets don’t work. You heard me: diets don’t work. Like all living things, our bodies crave homeostasis, a maintained state of equilibrium, and our minds […]

Hello, my favorite readers! I celebrated another trip around the Sun this week, and I filled the day with all the things I consider sweet and sacred. I slept in until I woke up naturally, went to my favorite yoga class, treated myself to a decadent coffee and then sat down for a little reflection. […]
