Recently, a friend emailed and playfully chastised me for not updating my blog lately. "How am I supposed to know what you are up to?" she kiddingly asked. I laughed and we scheduled a coffee (aka soy milk) date, but it all struck me as odd. The blog posts have always flowed … [Read more...]

September 4, 2018 Leave a Comment

Sure, it’s temptingly easy to grab a bag of pre-made trail mix –colorful, effortless, and with such fun names to boot! But have you ever stopped to glance at the nutrition facts of that bag of seemingly healthy options? More specifically, check out the sugar content.

Despite the fact that plantains closely resemble a banana, they have a completely different flavor and are definitely not to be consumed raw (you’ll only make that mistake once!). Plantains are actually a vegetable, chock full of fiber, calcium and vitamin C. Pan-roasting the plantains allows them to caramelize, keeping the outside a little bit crispy and the inside nice and soft. Cinnamon, ginger and turmeric add a trifecta of anti-inflammatory goodness and a little sprinkle of sea salt makes these plantains absolutely irresistible. Enjoy as is, or my favorite way –- with mashed avocado! More…

I’d say Lydia Buschenfeldt has changed my life, but that wouldn’t be exactly true. What she does is even more powerful. Anyone can tell someone else what changes they ‘need’ to make to live a healthier life. It takes someone special to enable and empower you to change your own life. Lydia is that someone special. During every session, at every twist and turn and bump in the road, Lydia meets me where I am with an incredible amount of knowledge and patience, and helps me identify one or two steps forward to accomplish the goals I have for myself. She knows that each journey is different, and customizes our sessions so our discussions are tailored toward what I need in that moment to help me build the health, future and happiness that I deserve.
