Hello, My Name Is
"My mission is to educate and encourage healthy, mindful living helping others embrace the concept that we are a product of what we eat and how we treat ourselves."
Personal health and educating others on their health and wellness have been passions of mine for many years. I have had issues with my health for my entire life culminating in cancer and Hashimoto’s in my 30’s. Beyond my own health, I have also struggled while watching various loved ones suffer from health-related issues, including my husband Marc who lost his battle to cancer in his mid-40’s. Despite my many challenges with health, I am so grateful for the lessons that I have learned from them because they have given me the fuel to pass on my knowledge to other people in need.

I love pairing it with any salad, but especially a delicious […]

But I’m going to let you in on a little secret: Those candies aren’t really licorice. Sure, they contain licorice extract, giving […]

Orzo is one of my all-time favorite pastas, and I love how easy it is to incorporate veggies into a pasta salad! This easy salad recipe was inspired by the famous Jennifer Aniston Salad on TikTok – but with a few of my own personal touches 😉 I added some olives for some extra healthy […]

I have been on a pumfu kick recently – it’s in a lot of my cleanse salads, but I’ve been making it at home a lot now too. One serving of pumfu has 17g of plant-based protein – that is amazing! That protein combined with the colorful veggies in this stir fry make for quite […]

Here comes the sun – and all of the fun that comes with the summer season, too! But as we soak in the sun, let’s not forget the essential requirement for radiant skin health: sunscreen. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States and the main cause of this devastating […]

These tahini cookies are such an amazing summer treat. Their nutty, spiced flavor blends beautifully with this homemade raspberry jam that could not be easier to make. I love incorporating chia seeds into my recipes for the fiber boost, and raspberries are an excellent source of fiber as well! Not to mention they’re my favorite […]
