50 Questions for Finding Your Bliss
I have always believed in not sweating the small stuff. Granted, I believe in it, however I don’t always know how to NOT do it. I am a perfectionist, want everything yesterday and the way I want it because I want it, and am a tad bit of a control freak. One thing I am concentrating on achieving is balance in my day to day life. I don’t always succeed but I am doing my best. I try...

Light, Fluffy, Gluten Free Pancakes
I have to admit, I LOVE pancakes. I like waffles, adore crepes but LOVE pancakes. Carbs be damned, the higher the stack the more my stomach grumbles and my mouth waters. I make all kinds of pancakes and my up until now, my favorite has been a sprouted spelt and buttermilk recipe into which I throw bluberries or, if I am feeling naughty, chocolate chips. It wasn’t until I started...

A View From an Acupuncturist
As you all know, I live much of the year in Doha freaking Qatar. Yes, I said it. I am having one of those days where fighting with DHL has made me realize exactly how one slips into an imbalance. I’ve written many times how the stress hormone cortisol can wreak havoc on every microsystem in your body. When I found myself totally out of balance with nothing working quite right. My stress...

Food Rules: Are These in YOUR Pantry?
We are continuing on with our series from the book Food Rules by Michael Pollan. I love this book for its simplicity and bluntness and when I read this rule, it made me think twice about picking up anything in a package if I could avoid it.

Razing the Food Pyramid
The food pyramid is gone. As unceremoniously as they took away my beloved “four food groups” they took away the food pyramid in favor of something, well, I can’t say better, but at least it doesn’t tout some uneven grain based guidelines of the old pyramid.
