When I was pregnant eight years ago, I had little interaction with other pregnant women and few resources besides books and the internet to get advice and learn the do’s and don’ts of pregnancy. I’ve said here before that my weekly prenatal class during my first pregnancy is what led me to yoga. New mom... Read more »
Is there any better combination than peanut butter and chocolate?
Some say ketchup and mustard or salt and pepper, but I stand behind peanut butter and chocolate; hands downs as my favorite mixture.

A Letter to My Four Year Old
Dear Mini Me, Let me begin by telling you that I love you more than you will ever realize. Maybe when you become a mother and have a little girl of your own you will understand. I wish your little toddler brain could comprehend that I tell you all of this because I love you... Read more »
Curried Coconut Lentils: Today's Meatless Monday Meal
Looking back at previous Meatless Monday posts, it is exciting to see how much I have grown both in eating and preparing new foods and flavors.
