Honey Bee Vegan 

Summer heat calls for cool bites — this Watermelon & Almond Feta Salad (plus Caprese Skewers!) is fresh, vibrant, and vegan perfection.

A few weeks ago I had the unique honor & pleasure of cooking & preparing vegetarian & ayurvedic inspired lunches for the Sophia Leadership Camp for Girls , sponsored by my teacher/mentor Laura Plumb & The Institute for Feminine Wisdom , whose divine mission is to cultivate the voice & spirit of women, to build self-esteem & foster feminine leadership, & to preserve ancient wisdom that sustains, heals & nurtures living systems that will help restore wholeness, balance, & p

When the weather heats up & the body starts to feel a bit sluggish & lethargic, nothing tonifies & detoxifies quite like a kale salad. This one is packed full of summer veggies straight from the local farms, massaged with a flavorful mix of roasted garlic olive oil, tahini, lemon juice & sea salt. Perfect for summer! This is my last Deep Yoga Teacher Training Intensive weekend & we pack about 20 hours of yoga practice, meditation, presentation, demonstration, group work, danc

I hope you all enjoyed a relaxing Memorial Day Weekend! It was wonderful to have a few days off & I finally had some time to spend in the kitchen! I picked up quite a haul at the farmers’ market last Thursday, then Saturday, my friend brought me a huge bag of veggies from her garden, so I have produce overload, but no complaints here! My juicer has been working overtime to help me make a dent in the roughage. I recently renewed my CSA membership after a few months off, & I’ve

Okay, so I’ll admit that I made this salad with no real intention of publishing it. I figured there are enough kale salad recipes to go around, right? Isn’t everyone tired of hearing about kale? But, love it or leave it, kale is a staple in this household. I have it almost daily in my morning green smoothie, & when I get a particularly beautiful bunch from the farmers’ market or my CSA, I like to make a simple salad using this recipe as a blueprint. But, craving a bit of vari

Hello There! Today, I am briefly recapping the Ayurvedic cleanse I just completed, & sharing a gorgeous Spring salad that became a new lunchtime favorite. On Sunday, my 21-Day Ayurvedic Spring Detox Challenge came to a bittersweet close. While I didn’t immerse myself fully into the cleanse as I intended, I definitely reset some habits, experienced many deep moments of clarity, & ate wonderful, wholesome foods. This was not your average “cleanse” as most will interpret the wo

Happy New Year, everyone! I celebrated NYE with a few fresh basil martinis at my favorite neighborhood French bistro, & then made a decadent dinner of Artichoke Crostini, Fennel & Fruit Salad with Mandarin Champagne Vinaigrette, & Truffled Mac & Cheese - all vegan, of course. The martinis & wine really wiped me out & sadly I was asleep on the couch by 10. So much for the champagne toast at midnight! I started my first day of 2013 with some peach detox tea, a fresh green juic

Kale. Can’t get enough of it. Most often I juice it, or steam it & toss it into a simple bowl of quinoa & liquid aminos, but lately,...

In addition to the inevitable protein question, I am also often asked “how do you live without cheese?” To be honest, used to adore...
