My Way of Eating*

*[Not to be confused with Morris Dithers’ answer in this classic SCTV skit.] [The main course table from my recent holiday potluck with nutritionist friends, clockwise from top left: [out of the photo–Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts]; Southwest Brown Rice Casserole with Beans [white bowl behind cutlery]; Tempeh-Brown Rice Curry and Vegetables; Baby Spinach Salad; Rutabaga […]
There’s Good News, and There’s Bad News: Quick ACD Update
May 24, 2009 by 20 Comments
[Simple dal with basmati rice on dandelion greens. . . definitely ACD friendly!] I have a recipe in the works for later today, but after my last muffin post and all the questions I received about my anti-candida diet, I thought I’d post a quick update. First, thank you all for your ongoing support and encouragement–it […]
Updates: Diet and Dessert*

* Or, Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad (sorry, Girls) [Soy-Free, Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free Chocolate Buttercream Frosting from Sweet Freedom] Okay, let’s get to the dessert first (really, we should all eat a meal that way at least once): I received my cookbook’s (paper) proof in the mail today (the sample that I must approve before […]
Tomorrow: Cookies. Today: Reflections on ACD, Week One
March 16, 2009 by 21 Comments
[It was great to read so many positive messages from all you okra fans in response to my last post. Who knew there were so many okra supporters out there? Here’s to a new image for our pal okra! To the dawning of the age of okra–a new era is born, and it’s brimming with green pods […]
The Wait is Over/The Weight is Under
October 20, 2008 by 23 Comments
I know, that title sounds like something straight out of my Post-Modern Literary Criticism class (oooh, I shudder just re-thinking it!). But both bits of news cheered me so much that I wanted to share them in the same post! The Wait is Over: Just when I thought I could wait no longer, I received my […]
Dog Day: No Food Today
June 5, 2008 by 8 Comments
No food today, my love has gone away. . . No, not really (well, unless you count chocolate going away). However, today’s blog title is a bit of a double entendre: first, since today was Day One of my detox regimen (no wheat, animal products, sugar; and NO GRAINS), I do somehow feel as if I’ve had […]
On Being Mindful
May 1, 2008 by 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 […]
A Date, a Dilemma and a Diet
April 13, 2008 by 25 Comments
[Warning: this post contains material that some might find offensive. That’s right–I’m going to be serious for once.] Last evening, the HH and I went out for dinner to celebrate our anniversary (eleven years since we met—can it be possible??). Actually, our true anniversary was last Sunday, but given the unexpected GBR that had me […]
Happy Trails

Snacks: should we or shouldn’t we? The jury seems to be out on that one. Just this morning, as I plodded along on my trusty treadmill, I happened upon a brief TV interview with ND Penny Kendall-Reed hawking discussing her new book, The No-Crave Diet. One of the supposed myths that she busted was the idea that we […]
