It’s something we say often to our clients, our podcast listeners, our friends, our families: Question everything. We take in information every day. And if it’s interesting enough, we often share the information with others. The thing is, it’s secondhand information or third hand or fourth hand . . . […]

Getting Unstuck by Reframing How We Think I read recently that, all too often, our suffering is the gap between the knowing and the doing. That feeling when you know that turning off the TV and working on your novel would do your soul good, but you don’t move. You […]
When you slow cook onions, their sweetness caramelizes and makes a great flavor topping for so many dishes. This flavor is called umami – a savory addition. Here’s how we make our own caramelized onions. 2 large yellow onions, peeled (about 1 pound) 2 T ghee, coconut oil, EVOO, or […]
One of my favorite summer family trips is to go blueberry picking – and then make blueberry jam. We go early in the morning before the crowds. At that hour, the dew drops still hang on the plants and the birds sing to us. We pick a lot! We split […]
It seems simple and obvious, but we don’t usually think about it. Or, maybe we do, but not deeply enough to make a difference. Choice. We go about our days doing all sorts of things, mostly out of habit. Think about all that you do on a typical Monday from […]

5 ingredient tasty sipper! Found this recipe this week in one of my favorite resources: World’s Healthiest Foods. It’s going to be nice and sunny here this weekend so I’ll be making sure one of my stock favorites is around: coconut milk. Serves two 1 cup coconut milk, full fat canned 1/4 cup […]
We can’t say it enough . . . eat the whole egg! Protein is important. That message is loud and clear. When we talk about what we’re having for dinner, we don’t say, “green beans, rice, and maybe some chicken.” We would almost always say, “chicken with green beans and […]
