Quinoa with Cinnamon, Fennel and Prunes and Food, Technology and Labeling
Happy new year, everyone! I will cut to the chase: 2018 sucked in many ways for me and for many others. I don’t like to be negative but I’m just putting it out there because as Socrates says, “An unexamined life is not worth living”. We need to deal with the crap that is presented […]
Jackfruit “Tuna” Salad
Hello everyone, Well, I finally used the can of jackfruit I got at Trader Joe’s after I ate it at the Kripalu yoga retreat. It has a meaty texture, is healthy, and is canned which I love. I googled how to use it and saw that you can use it for mock tuna salad. I […]
Curried Chicken with Zucchini
Hello everyone, Yesterday, my husband texted me a photo of the NY Times recipe from the Wednesday Dining edition. It was a simple curried chicken dish for which I had most of the ingredients.

Sweet and Spicy Baked Chicken Wings
Hello everyone, I know I am often viewed as the mother earth in the kitchen with my kids, teaching them to cook and bake on their own as I watch them with joy in my heart and a smile on my face as they learn to be independent in the kitchen. Don’t be fooled. I […]

Vegetarian Diets and Transcendental Meditation

You GET to Do the Dishes!
Hi everyone! When I am overloaded with work at home, I get stressed. I know I am very fortunate to have a dishwasher, the first in my life having grown up without one, but I feel like a lot of my days are spent emptying and loading it. I can’t STAND loading and emptying and […]
Caregiving, Disability and Delicious Food
Hi everyone! I want to wish everyone a belated happy mother’s day! Instead of burdening Brian with the obligatory mother’s day post when we were crazed with many events this weekend, I am , in its place, posting a beautiful piece by a new friend who is inspiring. I hope all moms get to have […]
Caraway Seeds For a Cause-Give Me 25 Bucks for an Exoneree
Hello everyone! St. Patrick’s Day is almost here and you know what that means-time to get your Irish Soda Bread on! And no, not while you are drunk like all the people near my street at the holiday parade. You will prepare the bread fully sober. Now, if you are anything like me, you buy […]
How Does He Do It???

If you didn’t see my post on facebook, this handsome fellow is 81 years old and is still running AND training sprinters. He has an illustrious career working in Senegal, working with the Olympics, coaching […]
