Breakfast: It was so good I had to do it again. I made my new favorite breakfast – Fruity Cacao Nibs Breakfast Bowl with chopped Apple, Walnuts, Almonds, Strawberries, Blueberries, Flax Seeds, Maca Powder, Cacao Nibs, Vanilla Extract and Coconut Milk. Lunch: We will be leaving in a few days for a little vacation.…
Breakfast: Let me introduce you to my new favorite breakfast! This is what I was craving and it did not disappoint. I chopped up an Apple, some Walnuts and Almonds, tossed in some Strawberries and Blueberries (they were frozen and I let them defrost a little}, Flax Seeds, Maca Powder, Cacao Nibs, Vanilla Extract and…
Breakfast: With Gary off to acting class I grabbed a simple bowl of my homemade Ruby Kraut. I often enjoy savory foods for breakfast. This first batch of homemade sauerkraut is surprising me because I like it so much. Lunch: I baked a squash knowing Gary would be hungry when he got back in…
Breakfast: Frankly, I can’t imagine life without Corn Thins! How did we exist so long without them? I remember while living in France enjoying the popular store brand boxes of wheat “toast” or biscuit (bis-qwee) as they call them in French. Rice cakes are okay but never got my interest.

I’ve lost some hearing since being treated with chemotherapy nine years ago and I wanted to have it checked out. I always go to doctors affiliated with Mt Sinai Hospital in Manhattan since this is the hospital where I had…

Breakfast: Soup can be quite satisfying for breakfast. With the seasons changing and a chill in the air both Gary and I were feeling a bit “under the weather” as the expression goes. Maybe the expression should be “between the seasons”. Anyway, this is the weather, or the season or the moment for soups with…
