SUGAR: Is Sugar Killing Us?
My friend and I were watching this video and texting back and forth: “I am mesmerized by this video on HFCS” “WOW” “I can’t stop watching this, I should be doing other stuff” “This is fascinating” “This is exactly what I need to watch right now” The information is astonishing. I have found that since...
Emily’s Green Monster Smoothie
When you make a Green Monster Smoothie, don’t bother with measurements. Just go for it. My sister-in-law said that I should open my own Green Monster Smoothie bar at our local Farmer’s Market. I think it’s a brilliant idea! Maybe this Spring? *** My $20 Oster blender works just fine for me! You don’t need...
Are you READY?
The New Year is quickly upon us! Have you marked your calendar for your big start day? Might I suggest a Monday, following a weekend when you can get ready and prep for success? Let the countdown begin, and see you at my house on January 8th, at 9:00am! GREEN GODDESS will commence!
Can I do this by myself?
When I decided to do the Grand Experiment and eat a strictly nutritarian diet for 6 weeks, I was skeptical. But I was also very hopeful. I realize how lucky I am that I had Joe to support me and that he also wanted to achieve the same goal, reap the same rewards. It was...
Making a change.
I am more likely to set myself up for success when I make a big change if I: -Figure out what my motivations are -Understand what realistic outcomes to expect -Make it public -Make it personal, even spiritual I decided to try a nutritarian eating plan after reading my sister Robin’s blog for a few...

Humus Redux
UPDATED as of August 5, 2011: Here is my most recent update for super quick hummus in a blender (if you don’t have a food processor to make the thicker hummus, you’ll need to settle for slightly more runny hummus so your blender can blend it, but it is still delicious!) QUICK HUMMUS IN A...
Shiny Skinny Skin Skin
My skin is silky soft and shiny. I like it! I especially notice it on my hands. I think I notice it more because I’m always washing them, and they get cracked and dry and rough, but not so much lately! Brag brag brag. Sorry, I can’t help myself.
My $20 Blender Works for Me!
When we started eating this super healthy nutrient-dense way, we both really wanted a super blender like a BlendTec or a Vitamix. Joe and I would practically drool over them. Everyday Joe would say, “We just HAVE to get one of those blenders, if we’re really going to do this.” But they cost between $300...
Vegan or Nutritarian?
For ease of explanation, we’ve been telling people that we’re eating a Vegan diet. Well, it is true! But there is more to it than that. Vegan seems to be a loaded term, which is fine if you feel it accurately describes you—not only what you eat, but the reasons why, which (for veganism) seem...
We’re back at it!
Beginning on Monday, we’re going strict on the diet again, for at least 2 weeks, maybe 3. If you’re interested in doing it with us, let me know! We can meet up, share ideas, cheer each other on, pound huge amounts of vegetables. Sounds fun, huh?
Eating Healthy (vegan?) on the Road.
We spent a full day in Columbus at the Zoo. We took a 3 day road trip to Niagara Falls, Kirtland OH, and Palmyra NY. We have other trips planed for longer and farther than this. So, we’ve been figuring out how to eat on the road, healthy style. Tips: Think fresh, crisp veggies (carrots,...
Dinner on a Typical Day, and Dessert TOO!
DINNER: Dinner includes another humongous salad. Leafy greens have to become the main dish at these meal times. If I make vegan lasagna (from the Fat Free Vegan website) it becomes the side-dish. You eat the salad first, stuff yourself with it. Then you only have room for a small amount of the less nutrient-dense...
The Payoff! The Cure?
Here are a few payoffs I’ve noticed so far, but I’m not claiming they’re totally connected to eating this super healthy way though I’m inclined to think so myself. This has not been any sort of scientific experiement, but it has been a personal one none-the-less. Eczema gone. I should note that I have been...
