This was the final week taking Danielle Omar’s Nourish: 21 Days of Clean Eating program. For the last few weeks, I brought you along from prep week (and tossing tons of non-nourish foods) to going vegan for a week, to seeing big changes in my body.

Nourishment Takes a Lifetime, Lasts a Lifetime.
Week two is done! Starting last Monday, we reintroduced animal protein and grains (each once a day) into our diet. I’ll be honest, after eating only raw foods for seven days, my palate welcomed this change. I got to try new recipes in the cookbook, which was a ton of fun. But since I’m being […]
Sugar is the New Fat
Sugar is the new fat when it comes to your health. Remember back in the ‘90s when fat was thought to be the root of all evil? Well, now it’s sugar. Sugar is blamed for almost everything, whether it’s weight gain, brain fog, or chronic disease––sugar is on the no-no list. Is sugar really the […]
If Your Body Hates Detox, You’re Doing It Right

Healthy Snack Foods? Yes, Please!
I absolutely love finger food. There’s nothing better than “app night” for dinner at our house. We stand around eating cheese and crackers, hummus and veggies, roasted veggies with dip, and my favorite warm roasted shrimp with cocktail sauce. We do this every few weeks and it’s always a different mix, depending on what I […]
