After 8 months of a strictly vegan diet, one day, I decided it was no longer for me. Here’s the story behind that decision. When I was growing up, I could put eating in two category: you either ate regular foods or you were on a diet. When we moved to the US, I discovered [...]
I am now convinced that my explorations into healthy, easy, and appetizing foods is a never-ending journey. Lucky that I also live with a budding chef! During my raw-vegan challenge, which coincided with my hubby’s particularly creative phase around “sweets”, something wonderful happened in the kitchen, and too wonderful not to share. He called it [...]
It is time to tell the tale of the Raw Vegan Challenge Month that was not to be in its entirety! So what happened, what did I learn, and how I plan to continue to take my eating habits to the next level of exploration and refinement.
Smart habits are the cornerstone of a successful and satisfying life. Smart habits make for rich living. Seeing how that is my tagline , I was thinking it might be a good idea to tackle the topic. I tackle it indirectly in every blog post but today, I want to take it to the next [...]

A radical change should require extremely hard work and sweat and only those prepared for such a grueling path should even consider it. And going vegan is not only radical, it is anything but easy [...]
Health is on my mind lately. Lately has been going on strong for about 3 years now. In August, I finished yet another challenge: The Wellness Challenge from the beloved Sync Studio for exercising (at least an hour for me!) every single day. Twenty seven fantastic spinning classes and a dozen yoga sessions later, I [...]
“Why on earth are you going vegan again?” my husband cried as though he has just heard another of my craziest new ideas yet. “Because I want to!” is usually my first stern reaction. It shows that I am the boss of me while at the same time affording me time to collect my thoughts [...]
