Sugars have snuck their way into 74% of our food supply. Thanks to the addictive properties of sugar (even more so than cocaine) food manufacturers want you to keep coming back for more so adding sugar makes that pausable. Sugar also makes food taste more palpable by making food less bitter or less sour. While [...]
Photo Credit Bulletproof October 31st thru January 1st feels like a holiday marathon often filled with day after day, weekend after weekend, of what I like to call the favorite F’s - friends, family, fabulous food, and fancy cocktails. While these F’s should be thoroughly enjoyed, they can take a toll on your mental and [...]
Pics provided by Heather Dettmann at a Trader Joes in Denver, CO Well the current grocery store situation reminds me of the South when there's about to be a snow storm - no eggs, bread, or milk.

This is perfect timing to go along with my main new years intention. I love the idea of setting intentions for my life and having a clean slate such as the change of [...]
The Boston Marathon, also known as Marathon Monday, is one week from today! I know I should never say never, but the likelihood of me running that marathon, or any marathon for that matter, is never. However, when I lived in NYC I was fortunate enough to be a frequent visiter (whoop whoop long distance relationship) [...]
Smoothies are the only way I can get in all of my fruits and veggies in a day, especially during Fall, Winter, and Spring, so basically 3/4ths of the year... Thankfully, frozen fruits and veggies are picked and quickly frozen at their peak so we are getting all the benefits without worrying about them being in season [...]
This might make one of my top 5 all time favorite meals. It all started with thinking it was going to be a Pho night (pho real!?) because the only thing I had in my fridge were some roasted beets (thanks to my meal prep Sunday) and a can of chickpeas. Because I am incredibly [...]
