The Power of One

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

When you’re first told you need to change your diet for health reasons, it can feel like you’ve been dumped into a huge vat of chocolate with a collection of random tools and utensils floating everywhere and you have to try to fish through everything at once and create some kind of order. In other […]

Anti CAndida, Gluten Free, Sugar Free Sweet Potato and Pear Pancakes on RickiHeller.com

It’s no secret that my favorite meal of the day is breakfast. Breakfast early, breakfast late, breakfast for brunch, breakfast on the road, breakfast for dinner–I don’t care; I love them all. And of all the beloved breakfast foods, my favorite is pancakes. Pancakes early, pancakes late, pancakes for brunch–well, you get the idea.  In […]

On Being Mindful

by Ricki Heller 5 Comments

I know I said I’d relegate comments about my Total Health program to a coda each week, but last night’s class spurred such a barrage of ideas that I wanted to set them down (despite last week’s blathering about eating styles–we all know how well that one went over). So be warned:  this entry features […]

Fluffy Fruited Pancakes

by Ricki Heller 6 Comments

Well, since I didn’t make it to the gym today to record my weight, my HH and I decided to go out to brunch instead.  (But of course!  If you can’t exercise, may as well eat.)   We do this a lot, it seems.  For me, the allure is the meal itself; breakfast foods have always […]

How’s That Working For You?–Holiday Diet Advice

by Ricki Heller 8 Comments

On my first day at nutrition school our lecturer was a petite woman resembling Natalie Portman: a teeny, tiny brunette with a regal air about her. As she expounded on macrobiotic diets and food combining and fat metabolism, I couldn’t help but think, “All these nutritionists here who are, like, a size two and never […]

Intuition and Chocolate Brownies

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

Well, I’ve got it bad. It’s exam time at the college, and there are something like 204 papers to be marked by the end of the week. Yet, as I sit here at my desk, wind vaulting stray flakes of snow across my window, what do I do? Do I even glance in the direction […]

Tea Biscuits at the Ready

by Ricki Heller 2 Comments

With no stove and no way of cooking anything, I’m grateful for the few baked goods left in the freezer.  These are tea biscuits I created while experimenting with vegan and sugar-free biscuits and scones. These are light and surprisingly tasty, considering that they have no butter, eggs, or refined sugar.  They’re made with spelt […]
