Sick of being sick.

I am finding my body is beginning to repeat some patterns caused by dietary choices that make me sick.  Before I was pregnant with my daughter, I had finally committed to becoming an ovo-lacto vegetarian (though I was planning to drop the dairy and possiably the eggs over the course of  my first year transition).  [...]

A New Favorite.

While shopping at Whole Foods the other day I was searching for some good healthy snacks to keep stashed in the pantry.  If I am going to snack I am usually on the hunt for a salty snack so I often keep rice cakes and crackers on hand for the munchies.  On this particular trip [...]

Holy Buffalo!

*Beware:  I am feeling like a bit of a foodie this week because I realized as I sat down to catch up on blogging, that the next 3 posts are going to be about food!  Your probably going to leave hungry.
Over the last few months I have been working extra hard at systematizing my life, [...]

Eat This!

One of my favorite local blogs, The Houstonist, posted a great article yesterday about local health food restaurants around town.  A couple years ago my hometown of Houston was named the fattest city in the country 2 years running!!  Since then, as a city, great efforts have been made to get our name as detached [...]

Snapshot Sunday (3.15.09)

The other day I purchased a great find.  Its just about the best tasting apple butter ever!  I am super picky about my daughter’s diet..particularly her sugar intake but I decided to let her share in my indulgence.  She was also quite impressed!

Applesauce Muffins

If you haven’t checked out Jessica Seinfeld’s not so new cookbook “Deceptively Delicious”  your missing out!  Jessica is the wife of comedian/actor Jerry Seinfeld, but she is making waves all by herself!  The layout of the is book super simple and she makes cooking for even the most novice chef’s easy peasy!  The basis of [...]

2009 To Do List

I know the whole “New Year’s Resolutions” thing is very cliche and most say its an unhealthy practice since they are often comprised of unattainable goals that are usually tossed aside come February.  But, this year..I am making a To Do list which I like to think is different from resolutions.  The difference is that [...]

leading by example

My daughter is almost 13 months old now and still nursing about 6 times in a 24-hour time period. We started solid foods at 7 months and we started slow. Her favorites are bananas, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and she loves sucking on her Daddy’s apples. She is not a big fan [...]
