Salmon and Rice Bowl

We are ‘bowl’ crazy in our house right now. And it's mostly driven by me to make our busy evenings a little easier.

Early in the week I'll make a big pot of brown rice so I only need to cook a protein and chop some veggies for dinner.

Bowls can take on so many flavors and colors.

Have some fun with it!

Salsa Beef Breakfast Skillet

More protein in the morning (ie, a protein heavy breakfast) can help you stay full longer and curb those afternoon sugar cravings.

Whether you're trying to lose weight or struggling with a sugar addiction or not, avoiding the typical sweet breakfast foods is always a win in my book.

Safer Sunscreens for your Summer Sun!

Every year the EWG comes out with their list of safer sunscreens. Personally, I'm worried a little bit about inadequate protection but I'm worried a lot about putting unsafe ingredients on my skin or the skin of my children. As you know, your skin is your body's largest organ and as much as 60% of what you put on your skin is absorbed into your body.

5 Tips for Roadtripping in a Pandemic...and why I say thanks to COVID

If you’ve followed my social media at all in the last few months you know that we recently moved across the country from the East Coast back to the California coast. To say it was a peaceful experience would be a joke. There’s a massive global pandemic going on and it was especially severe right when we had to list our house for sale. The whole thing was tricky to say the least. But once we hit the road it was just us four (plus our dog Cali) and about 4000 miles of open highway.

We loved it. All of us.

Here are my tips for navigating that open road while staying safe and healthy in a pandemic.

Eat a Brainbow for More Joy

You’ve heard about eating a rainbow - you eat fruits and vegetables from each color of the rainbow to get a variety of important vitamins and nutrients.

These essential nutrients can help prevent illness and disease. For example, when you eat red foods you help your heart, orange helps prevent cancer and yellow helps your skin. Green detoxifies, purple improves memory and white supports immunity. Each color does more than that but this gives you an example.

But eating a diet rich in colorful foods, spices and herbs also helps fight inflammation. And research strongly suggests that inflammation is an underlying cause of depression.

Why a WFPB diet might be the best there is!

There has been a lot of activity lately around going vegan, vegetarian or shifting toward a plant-based diet. But with that comes confusion, naturally. Going vegan, after all, can be a massive lifestyle shift. It means eating no foods of an animal origin including fish, milk, butter, honey, eggs, etc. Vegetarian means no steaks or salmon.

But a WFPB diet…what’s that?
