When Mark and I lived in Seoul, South Korea a few years back, we befriended an incredible group of Korean musicians who play in the popular Korean reggae band: Windy City.

Once a week I am lucky enough to cook weekly meals for a sweet and cheery family of 5. They are awesome and great eaters! It’s a pretty accomplishable task when the family wants healthy, vegetarian meals that are fresh, clean, and full of flavor. What more fun is there than to make nourishing meals […]

I also had some Bok Choy from my uncle’s garden, so I went to work! Sandwich #1: Includes: Toasted baguette, […]
Another great night of spreading edible love. I found myself teaching a group of fellow teachers! If one thing is for certain, we all agreed how critical it is to change the way public school are eating AND how we educate kids/teachers/parents/and faculty about nutrition.
