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.

My two gripes with traditional pesto are that it lacks protein and is often made with dairy, which I find to be totally unnecessary. That’s why I developed this Edamame Gluten-Free Pesto Pasta recipe. Instead of just […]

I’ve been trying to find ways to help reduce my food waste, and a great one is using food scraps that would usually be thrown away. Take broccoli stems, for example. They contain the most fiber out of any part of the vegetable, are high in antioxidants, and contain vitamins Em, and K, and calcium. […]

Picture this: it’s Friday. You’re staying in for the night, curled up on the couch watching a movie. You realize you’re hungry. What are you ordering? My mind would immediately jump to Chinese food. But typical Americanized Chinese food is loaded with oil, saturated fat, sodium, and MSG. That’s why I LOVE keeping these Crispy […]
