I’ve been fascinated w/ seeds lately…especially chia and sesame seeds.  for being so tiny, and having a barely noticeable taste, they offer tremendous health benefits!  i sprinkle them on my salads, put them in my smoothies, and am going to experiment w/ chia seeds while baking. chia seeds -balance blood sugar -great source of essential fatty acids & anti-oxidants -help keep the body hydrated sesame seeds -lower cholesterol -protect the liver -rich in trace minerals (such as copper, manganese, and zinc) (and if you haven’t read wild seed by octavia butler, you are sleepin!)

About:

in naming my blog, i realized that the best thing i can do is be completely honest and vulnerable about the fact that trying to be healthy is something i must commit to…EVERY DAY.

some days, i’m great…and can resist the potatoes that shapeshift into chips, fries, hashbrowns, smothered potatoes, tacos de papa…and the chocolate that whispers sweet nothings to me while i innocently stroll through the aisles of whole foods or tjs. BUT, there are some days days when i feel a little off center, and look to food for comfort. or days when the sun is shining, i’m feeling giddy, and i treat myself to enough vegan cookies to kill a small horse.

journey with me as i learn to make friends with my IFG and put her on notice that we will be ready for the beach this summer, by any means necessary!
