Meatless Monday: Indian as Apple Pie's Tikka Masala
I adore Indian food. I would eat it much more often if I was able to properly cook it. In the past I’ve spent hours in grocery stores on Devon looking for proper spices and hours in the kitchen, never satisfied with the end result. Then I met Anupy Singla.

Meatless Monday: Chickpea, Tomato, Mozzarella and Pesto Salad
My kids are my biggest food critics. When they compliment my dinner, especially a salad, I consider it a major success. This is the first salad that both of them have loved and asked for more. You can make your own pesto pretty easily, especially if you are growing basil. Otherwise, feel free to buy... Read more »
Do you want to be touched during yoga class?
A new yoga student came up to me after his first class glowing. He told me how much he enjoyed class and then asked me a question I’ve been thinking about a lot. “When do you begin to adjust and correct me?” I explained to him that generally I like to get to know my... Read more »
