I enjoy having food cooked and served to me, as long as it's something that will make my body happy, something that tastes good and is healthy. It's very disappointing to be offered food that isn't really what I want or need. This past...
Traveling food
I took the time to prepare food for my flight, knowing that I would leave mid-day and arrive late in San Antonio, where I'm teaching and mentoring with Saybrook University's School of Mind-Body Medicine at the residential conference. I...
A Week of Mindful Choices
I have been careful this week in my food choices and amounts, and I am feeling more energetic and lighter in response. Looking forward to a bit more range in my choices on Saturday--a planned indulgence day! I am pleased to have made an...
Water everywhere
Much water is flowing and the wind is swirling and moving the trees outside. I am making a commitment to myself to drink more water, as I know I feel better when I do. I'm actually making an effort to remember to have wine more frequently...

It's been raining here, and I've been sitting at the computer and working for way too many hours this week. We got out Friday night for a visit with old friends (you can see what we munched on in meal 3 on 3.16). I whipped up a dip to...
Shared meal & peasant bread
Friday night was a delicious meal of shared food, with new and old friends who came to visit. I made lentil soup and peasant black bread, and they brought endive with fruit/nut/cheese filling, stuffed baby portobellos, potatoes with...
