One of my clients just reminded me why it is that focusing on the positive has such a major impact on how you eat and how happy you are, and I wanted to share my thoughts while they’re still fresh in my mind:
1) You’re creating new grooves. OK, OK, so our brains aren’t records (I [...]

That’s the whole message. Forget perfect. It ain’t gonna happen. Not in this lifetime! Just try to eat well, do your best and move on when you happen to stray off-course.
The end. :)

This is a favorite in my household whether eaten with baked falafel (as originally posted) or as salad dressing, so I’m reposting this separately for easier access. Here’s what you need to make a delicious, authentic tahini sauce:

The holiday season is just now over, and I found myself so isolated from “normal life” for the last month that for once during the holidays, I didn’t really witness any unhealthy eating the whole time and certainly not the obsessive junk food fest that many people celebrate the whole Christmas season with no regard [...]

Oh, how I love oatmeal. Particularly on cold winter mornings like we’ve had here in New York recently, there’s nothing quite like a hearty bowl of cinnamony smooth oats with sweet bits of apple to make the whole picture even more lovely. I’m not so much a fan of comfort food anymore (too much emotion [...]

Folks, I have missed you. And man, do I wish I’d been posting instead of dealing with what I have been the past 3.5 weeks (is it only 3 and a half weeks? it feels like months!).
