I am quite fond of my high school alma mater: The Asheville School. One of the very important lessons I learned while there was how to eat a banana with a spoon. Little did I know then that 27 years after graduation, the banana would become one of my favorite foods and that I’d be […]

Update: Since writing this post almost 2 years ago, I have added more tofu into my diet. Why?

There are 1,000 ways to “go vegan” and about 967 ways to do it wrong. By wrong I mean in an unhealthful way. There are many vegan “foods” (I use the term “food” very loosely) in the grocery store and very few of which I would partake. Why? Because they are processed crap. When I teach […]

Smoothies and juices – both of which I love – are all the rage right now. What’s next? I think it’s ice cream for breakfast! Get ahead of the trend and start making whole fruit “ice cream” now. I’ll show you how. Won’t your kids think you’re beyond the greatest for feeding them ice cream […]
