I had a great birthday party last night! I feel so blessed to be surrounded by so many dear friends. Here are some pictures from the party last night:
You can see my Macadamia/White Chocolate/Strawberry Cheezecake on the right, and the regular cake on the left. I even had decidedly non-health-nut people coming up to me [...]
I don’t even know what to call this, but I wanted something really decadent as my birthday cake for tomorrow. I just made it up, but it turned out awesome. I wanted to share the recipe with you all.
Maybe ‘Living Strawberry Shortcake’? ‘White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie Cake’?
Recipe (all ingredients raw and organic)

I took a few baby steps today. I taught my first living foods class. It was a blessing and a wonderful experience. For some [...]

Well, we are three days in to the New Year. So far it has been great! I have been working on my Revolutions, and working my tail end off at the Living Well Cafe. The resolution crowd has definitely already started to kick in at the gym. I was much, much busier than the past [...]

Hello Everyone! I hope you all had an absolutely wonderful, happy, joyous Christmas full of love and laughter. We sure did, and I am so sorry I have been away for so long. There are just not enough hours in the day around Christmas time. Plus Michael’s mother was here with us, and I hated to [...]
It’s been a great day! No gym workout today. Instead I got my cardio and lots of bodyweight squats putting in my beautiful Rainbow Swiss Chard plants and mustard plants as well. We have had beautiful weather the last few days, even up in the 70’s, but today was a different story. My fingers were numb [...]
The Christmas shopping is finally done! Hooray! Not only did I get mine done, but I did a lot for my mother too. My parents don’t have, and refuse to own, a computer, so I have been shopping online for them and just having the gifts sent to their address. That’s pretty handy. Michael wants [...]
Well, we had the big cookie party tonight. It was a lot of fun and my Living Cookies held up very well against the others. The reaction to them was overwhelmingly positive, which was great considering most people there were definitely not raw foodists! I had the opportunity to meet several wonderful women who were [...]
