There were 6 of us and we were ready to unleash our inner warrior. We were ready to jump over fire, crawl through mud, over junk cars & under barbed wire…this was an extreme 3 mile run through tough terrain. We drove to Amesbury, MA and arrived 1.5 hours prior to our start…
Thank you to all of the people who took my whole foods recipe challenge. I received a variety of scrumptous-looking recipes, all of which I would love to try. One of my favorites included a vegetable that’s in season now – roasted radishes. I got another recipe for stuffed grape…
Okay, friends. I am three weeks into my detox diet with one week left to go. I’m in the final stretch and I’m walking around 4 pounds lighter and “whole foods” smarter. Along the way, I have gained nuggets of wisdom from my readers, so thank you for your comments….

Here’s an update up until this point. If you haven’t read about the detox diet I’m on, click here. DAY 2: I had a headache in the afternoon. I attribute this to my lack of caffeine. Remedy? Power nap and some fresh air, running with a friend. DAY 3: I…
This might be a little trickier than I originally anticipated. This week I received a beautiful bag of fresh spinach from the CSA. I had planned to make a spinach pie, so I went to the market, armed with my list. I headed to the dairy aisle, looking for ricotta…
