Don’t tell them it’s healthy;)

Cute story. So, I got home late from work and Mark had a friend over. We all hung out for a while but at 8:30 we realized we were hungry and had no dinner plans. Mind you, the friend we had over seriously questions Mark’s credibility about how our “healthy” food is actually quite tasty. […]

Challenges during the Challenge

So I am on a 28 day healthy-clean-detoxing-plant-based challenge. The challenge is to eat whole, unprocessed foods, tons of plants, no refined sugars, only healthy fats (seeds, nuts & avos), and nutrient-dense food (eat the rainbow.) I think we’re going to be just fine. BUT…Just to put things into perspective; there will always be something that […]

My husband asked me; “Andi, how do you feel after teaching one of these classes?” I feel the feeling of euphoria circulate…I am overcome with pride and honor…I feel like, for the 2 hours we spend together, life seems to taste sweeter than ever….or was […]

Oh it feels so good. Pomegranate punch & breakfast tacos:)

I have been so busy the past month that I have neglected my urge to get creative in the kitchen. Clarification–I have neglected my urge to get creative in my own kitchen. I spend so much of my time cooking outside the house (which I adore) but I just cooked up a great little concoction […]
