Can we please have one last fling with the berries?? Summer (vacation) is almost over, and I haven’t yet made a berry pie. Usually I make blackberry pie when Mark arrives in the States for his 2-week holiday, but this year I was obsessed with peaches at the time of his arrival, so we welcomed him …
The mind is a terrible thing to waste. And the waist is a terrible thing to mind. Here is my current situation: I forgot to bring the flat of peaches up to Steamboat with us on our camping trip, thus derailing the Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler I had planned. Yum, right? But not so yum …
I promised you early on that my eating life is not all massaged kale salads, chia pudding, and homemade almond milk. That’s right, friends, there are days, sometimes several in a row, when my normal abundance of fresh fruits and raw veg are scarcely seen. Granted, it’s not often, but it happens. Usually on vacation! …
Well folks, I was scheduled to give you a “what-I-ate” post, but I had so much fun with this workout, I just had to post it instead! The more I work out with kettle bells, the more I love them. It’s a workout that doesn’t feel like a workout, but gives you major results in terms of …
Salad… oh the glorious salad… I ask myself: Why has my blog been active for 6 weeks and in all my 15 posts I have yet to give you a salad recipe, when I eat salad ALL the time?? Some things make no sense. I apologise, friends… I have been remiss. So many good salads, …

Well folks, I promised you I would tell you at some point “what I ate Friday night” that does not include a green smoothie or anything made with chia seeds… So here it is, “what I ate on vacation in San Francisco”… such a perfectly yummy day!! My day started with this view from our …
Don’t you hate it when you’re about to go on vacation and you still have perfectly good food in the fridge? I’m talking about fresh red cherries at their peak of ripeness that you would hate to see “go begging,” as my Pa would say.
My mother put me in gymnastics when I was 7 years old, for 2 reasons: 1) because I was no good at ice-skating, and 2) so that when I was in high school I could do a back handspring and make the cheerleading squad. Little did she know that gymnastics would “take” for me, and that by …
Just as I thought I was over jet lag, I wasn’t. I slept for 10 straight hours Tuesday night and the first time I opened my eyes and looked at the clock, it was 9:14am. Whoa! This is coming from a girl whose normal wake-up time is around 5am, no alarm (it’s not virtuous, it’s …

I’m back in the land of berries!!! Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries… I can’t get enough. As much as I love mangoes, nothing can compare to all this sweet-tart berry goodness. Just look at these beauties, doesn’t it make you drool?? So today we’re gonna have an East-meets-West, “tropics + cool climate = awesome” type of recipe. It’s …
