#betterskin Challenge – Week 2
You know how sometimes things get worse, before they get better? That’s me right now. I got my period this week, and the week before I always get a nasty, hormonally driven breakout. The big blemishes that hurt – those are what I have to deal with this time of month. Ugh! But let me…

Coconut Crusted Tofu
Tofu is one of those things that you either like, or you don’t. I’m in camp like. I’ve been eating it since my vegetarian phase in my teenage days, and I’ve enjoyed it ever since. I’ve had enough practice making tofu dishes now that I’d like to think I can make doubters into believers. Tofu…

On my journey to better health, diet drinks were one of the last things I gave up. I loved drinking coke zero – and I was either addicted chemically, by habit, or both. But there was one other aspect that hooked me – actually, it hooks a lot of us: zero calories. Somewhere along the…

Chaga chaga chaga chaga
As I wrote that title I envisioned a little train, chugging along on this quiet, snowy Thursday! But no, today’s post is not about trains. It’s about chaga, the mushroom. I can’t believe I’m even writing this post. I do not like mushrooms. I have never, ever liked them. But the more I immerse myself in…
