THE Lunch Salad

I’m not gonna say I’m CELEB famous for my salads, but … I’m pretty damn close. My salads are requested from coast to coast, born in Aspen, created currently in SoCal, spreading across the continent to D.C. and beyond. Here’s how to make the magic. All sourced at Trader Joe’s: Kale $2 Spinach $2 Cabbage $1.50…

Lucky Vitamin twitter party TONIGHT!

I live and die by online shopping—a holdover from living in the mountains and not having access to a store that sold normal underwear. Not fancy undies, just normal-people-underwear. Aspen, Colorado does not sell this. I digress. My new go-to for supps, clean beauty, health, protein, and all that healthy stuff is LuckyVitamin, as discussed…

Lucky Vitamin!

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve become a LuckyVitamin.com ambassador! (here, they talk about me, eeeep: luckyvitamin.com/t-become-a-lucky-ambassador) Check out all the awesome things I’ve gotten to try from the online retailer: LuckyVitamin is like Amazon but only for the dirty hippie products I love: natural products, vitamins, herbal supplements, sports nutrition, natural and organic foods, beauty and skincare.…

Sweet Potato Pear Soup | Crowd-Pleasing Recipe

I’ve been making this stupid simple soup for over ten years (before ‘paleo’ entered anyone’s lexicon), but it had fallen out of my regular routine until I was cold last week and wanted something warm to bring for an engagement party potluck. This is the analog recipe: fatfree.com/recipes/fruit-soups/sweet-potato-pear-soup (how embarrassing) SWEET POTATO PEAR SOUP 1/2 onion, diced…

Eat ALL the Breads! BFree!

A followup to Half a Burrito! and Eat ALL the Pasta … in which I ate ALL the breads but it was okay because they’re BFreeFoods sliced breads and rolls and bagels—BAGELS!—and they’re low cal and gluten free and even relatively low carb. Buy at Ralphs or online (where it appears they’re currently sold out of most…

Secret Pasta Recipe from a Famous French Guy

One of the scene-iest scenes in Orange County is Fig & Olive, so when I found out FIG & OLIVE’s founder/owner Laurent Halasz was releasing a cookbook AND throwing a party to celebrate it, obviously I was in. The party was fabulous and the food obviously divine, but the highlight of the evening was Laurent stopping…

Half a Burrito!

LOOK AT THIS HALF OF A BURRITO! I know you’re thinking why do I want to see a half-eaten burrito? BECAUSE I ate half the burrito and it didn’t fall apart! Because it’s like a real burrito! But without gluten! It’s not grainy like Ezekial and it’s not corn like corn tortillas and it doesn’t break…

Eat ALL THE (chickpea) PASTA!

This baby, found on the Banza website, is basically me. For as long as I’ve been able to eat it, I’ve LOVED pasta. After Paleo-ing for many many years, I don’t eat much pasta (but if it’s homemade, OH PLEASE I’M EATING ALLLLL OF IT), so I was pretty thrilled to find a pasta with…

Amazing Plant-Based Supps: Ora

I am a red-meat-eatin’ Texan (grass-fed only, duh), but I’m also a good dirty hippie who loves her some clean, plant-based products like these beauties. This brand-new line of supplements—protein, probiotics, and Omega-3 spray—being produced right here in Southern California (LA) is called Ora: ora.organic. I love these products. Ora claims to be the first…
