First Meal: I made a lot of pancakes yesterday so there’s plenty for today. That’s something to smile about! Snack: When it’s hot and humid I want to eat melons. Any kind will do but Watermelon is best. Second Meal: We finally got our terrace back and I love it so much. It’s…
First Meal: If you have been reading this blog for a while you will know that I like to clear out the refrigerator of most things before we travel. We’ll be leaving for California in a few days. There are a few glass jars with small amounts grains and flours so I decided to make…
First Meal: I am in a reading fest, preparing to prerecord a few radio shows ahead of time for when I’ll be in California in the next few weeks. Keeping things simple I had a pre-made Steel Cut Oats and Millet Waffle with mashed Banana. Gary went with Rice Cakes. Second Meal: When the…
First Meal: We will be traveling to California next week to do a Musical Theater, Vocal and Acting Workshops for Teens and Adults. I am prerecording some of my radio shows in advance which means extra reading this week. Today I am reading The Experiment by Robin Lamont for my July 16 show. It’s great…
First Meal: The big family day was here. My sister came up from Florida with her husband and her son drove all the way with his girlfriend and his dog. My brother came with his wife and two kids. The plan was to meet at P.F. Chang’s. It was surprising to see very little traffic…
First Meal: The day after our anniversary, Gary served me a perfect cup of Chai with Soy Milk. Then we enjoyed Steel Cut Oats and Millet Waffles that we made yesterday. I put Raspberry Pear Compote on my first waffle. The second waffle was a bit more decadent. We had a small amount…
First Meal: It’s July 4th. While many in America are celebrating Independence Day, Gary and I are celebrating something much more meaningful and important, our 13-year anniversary! Gary emailed me 13 years ago and we haven’t stopped talking since. I made Anniversary Breakfast Waffles with Raspberry Pear Compote and Peanut Butter Cream. I served…
First Meal: I made myself a quick and cool breakfast of organic Rolled Oats, organic Coconut, organic Strawberries, organic Raisins, organic Flax Seeds and organic Walnuts. Second Meal: Our late lunch was an eclectic mix of dishes. I was craving Tofu No-Egg Salad so I made a big bowl quickly, using a Cashew-based Salad…
First Meal: Ever since my dad died in 2017 I have had a few big projects on my list to complete at mom’s house. This week I am determined to finish one of them which is making the upstairs office into a guest room, complete with a real bed. Before leaving I went across the…
First Meal: I love when I am in the mood for crepes. Whipping up the organic Buckwheat batter is easy. Standing by the grill requires patience, but it’s an opportunity to stand in gratitude, with a silent meditation for the gifts you are creating for you and your family. Gary helped and made the organic…
First Meal: The Kale Salad I wasn’t ready for last night was perfect this morning. I was still hungry and I gobbled up the last of the Red Lentil Soup which is really a thick stew. It’s hot out and I ate it cold. Snack: Working like a machine today, I stopped to…
First Meal: I have gone over in my head how this day is going to go and already things are going wrong. There was a lot of traffic driving to mom’s. My brother lives further away and he’s late with even more traffic all along the way. I sit with mom and her neighbor Laurie…
First Meal: It’s heating up here in New York. With the exterior work going on at our building we keep the windows closed and the AC off. It’s hot and stuffy but our breakfast is cool and refreshing – organic Rolled Oats with organic Blueberries, organic Walnuts, organic Raisins, organic Coconut and cold organic Soy…
First Meal: Today is mom’s day. I have an ambitious plan this week to make the office into a guest room. She’s not happy about it but there needs to be a comfortable place for guests to stay especially since she’ll be needing more assistance in the near future. I will be cleaning up today,…
First Meal: I have three events to go to today, no time for cooking. This morning I went to a followup doctor’s appointment. Afterwards I was heading to my friend John’s home to prerecord an interview with Encar Garcia Vila. I was early and stopped to eat a couple of organic Apples in the park.…
First Meal: It’s civic duty day. I am volunteering as an election poll worker for a primary in New York. It’s an important one here in Queens where we get to vote for the democratic candidate for district attorney. I got up at 4am and reported in at 5am. There was a bowl of leftover…
First Meal: Basics – organic Oatmeal with organic Blueberries organic Flax Seeds, organic Raisins and organic Walnuts. Gary’s secret is adding in a little organic Polenta to the Oats while cooking. Second Meal: This is how we treat ourselves. An evening at Green Zenphony. It comes with a brisk walk in both directions. This…
First Meal: With the wedding over, we were ready for our train ride home. We brought the car back and had about five hours to spend. We decided to see if we could get on an earlier train and lucked out. The 10:45am train was running late. We arrived at the station at 11am and…
First Meal: We woke up this morning at the Hampton Inn. Yesterday had been a long travel day by train followed by a fun evening out. Today is Jared and Jennie’s wedding at the Cristman Barn. It was a little slow getting started. As Gary slept in, I went downstairs to check out the “complementary…
First Meal: We are off on an adventure! Our cousin Jared is getting married! Actually, Jared is my brother’s wife’s cousin but we love him so much he is family. He and his wife-to-be, Jennie chose to get married at the Cristman Barn in Ilion, NY, about a 4-5 hour drive from here. A month…
