30 day vegan diet
My husband Rob and I just wrapped up 30 day vegan diet. That’s right, the month of March we cut out all animal products. No meat. No dairy. Over the past few weeks, I’ve done a few posts on how things were going. Someday soon, my husband plans to write a post about his experience because it… Continue reading 30 day vegan diet
Plant Based Diet for Beginners
Plant based diet for beginners, like the one my husband and I have been doing, can be a little tricky. What can you eat other than fruits and veggies? How do you cut out dairy? The whole concept can be a little overwhelming. I’m in the midst of sorting it all out, principally because my husband and… Continue reading Plant Based Diet for Beginners
Plant-based Diet
What is it like to go on a plant-based diet for a month? Well, I’m in the middle of that very experiment right now. On March 1, my husband and I decided to give this whole plant-based thing a go. And right off the bat, you’ll notice I said plant-based, not vegan. The difference? Nothing… Continue reading Plant-based Diet

But I have found a good juice cleanse can reset my hunger levels, reduce bloat, and reenergize me. And recently I found a cleanse by a local Sacramento company that did… Continue reading Sun and Soil Juice Cleanse
Food Literacy Center
As the saying goes, you are what you eat. But how you feel about food – particularly veggies – can impact how many you eat (or how few). Like many people, my relationship with veggies has had its ups and downs. As a kid, I was pretty neutral. In college, I only ate them when… Continue reading Food Literacy Center
Matcha Now
When it comes to beverages, I’m pretty much a purist. I don’t like to drink my calories, so I pass on the sugary drinks. And on the other side of the coin, I avoid things like diet soda because it makes me breakout. This leaves me with a very small universe of things to quench… Continue reading Matcha Now

Kale Power Smoothie- you literally just feel healthier saying the name of this Sacramento-based company! And it’s not just talk. Their beautiful and delicious smoothies are chocked full of real superfoods. But beyond packing a nutritional punch, they also taste amazing.

Year Round Farmers Market
Farmers’ markets in the winter are a totally different scene than in the summer. Anyone who has been to a farmers’ market over the past couple of months knows exactly what I’m talking about. This weekend, after what seemed like endless rain in Sacramento, we had a sunny Saturday and Sunday. It was… Continue reading Year Round Farmers Market
