Update and Robin’s Post

Update and Robin’s Post

Okay, I haven’t been keeping you all up on Green Goddess, but that’s because it has been put on hold! This is a particularly busy quarter in my life, and not a good time to start something as awesome as Green Goddess. So, the tentative new date for starting Green Goddess will be this Spring/Summer...

Emily’s Green Monster Smoothie

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...

What is this Green Goddess thing?

What is this Green Goddess thing?

Many times I’ve been asked: Emily, will you show me how to make a green smoothie? Is it hard? What do you eat? How do you make a dinner for you AND your kids with just plant food? What do you eat for a treat? I wish you could just come and cook for me....

Drumroll for the Big Announcement*…

Drumroll for the Big Announcement*…

*(The big announcement has nothing to do with being pregnant, moving, or winning the lottery) Joe and I have a running joke, and it begins like this: “Ask yourself this crucial question: Do you want to be awesome?” The ending to the joke varies on the situation. This situation, for example, is totally awesome. The...

Making a change.

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...

First Christmas, Then New Years!

First Christmas, Then New Years!

Joe and I have been having a very relaxed holiday when it comes to food. I’m eating healthier this time of year than in years past, but compared to where I was 2 months ago…HELLO SUGAR! and butter! and dairy! and occasional meat! That’s okay. I don’t feel the least bit guilty, I’m not into...

Humus Redux

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...

I Must Confess…

I Must Confess…

I’ve been blogging somewhere else. But I really think we can make it work, the three of us. And I think you’ll like my other blog, too. I really do!  And, you’ll still always be my number 1 blog, no matter what. This is just the beginning of a beautiful blog relationship.

Vegan or Nutritarian?

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...

Eating Healthy (vegan?) on the Road.

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 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?

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...
