Every once in a while I like to share some stories, ideas, and products that I’ve come across recently. Here’s what I’m liking lately… INSPIRATION We Got This. This cause is near and dear to my heart. Alex, a former client of mine, was unexpectedly diagnosed with lung cancer last year. He’s an amazing, positive, and…

Eden’s Sap Granola
Happy New Year friends! Not only have we just cruised through the Christmas and New Year’s season, but my husband and I also celebrated our wedding anniversary on the 30th. I LOVE the new year and the fresh perspective and potential that it brings. With so many milestones at the same time, it’s also nice to look back…
El Burro (the Mexican Mule)
Disclaimer(s): This recipe is not for food. It’s for a delicious drink that features sugar and alcohol. So it’s not even remotely paleo. AND it wasn’t written by Nikki. Consider yourself warned. Nikki and I recently catered an event for an anti-human trafficking organization. The Clean Plate doesn’t usually do catering and Nik rarely asks me for help…
What’s in my Grocery Basket?
I went to four grocery stores today. FOUR. To be fair, for the past couple weeks, we’ve had a good reserve of staple foods in the house so I haven’t had to do a “big shop” for us in a while. We finally worked our way through most of our fresh produce and meat (except…
Food Critic Friday – Habana, Costa Mesa, CA
After a long hiatus, Food Critic Fridays are back. Geoff and I are back at it with our restaurant reviews, so if you’re in one of these areas and hankering for some gluten free goodness, you’ll have some idea of where or where not to eat. I was dying to try a place called Habana…
Leaky Gut and ICV Repair
I have explained some of my health story in the past. In sharing my story, I hope to help others who are frantically googling “digestive problems” all day long. People who (like me) are looking for some flicker of hope via the testimony of someone who has been there and successfully tackled the difficulty and mystery of digestive distress….
Sugar-Free Agua Fresca
Two exciting things! 1. I bought a new awesome shirt from Steve’s Original. 2. I’ve launched my new cooking classes in South Orange County! So keep checking the Services page for the classes. They are super affordable and a lot of fun! One of my favorite things in San Clemente is our neighborhood Mexican market….
(Almost) Raw Truffles
I just recently moved to South Orange County, to a little town called San Clemente. It’s pretty much perfect. I walk everywhere, I do yoga, go for runs by the beach, and make delicious things in the kitchen! Here’s another recipe from Diane’s fabulous book. I saw these and knew that I could whip them…
Marinated Chicken and Artichoke Salad
Hey ya’ll! I’m just sitting here, eating this salad and getting stoked for my nightly yoga practice. Tonight’s class is with the lovely Jana. Go check out any of her classes here in Orange County. It’s rare that I come across AWESOME yoga teachers. Jana definitely qualifies as one. She has a very easy-going but confident…
