Is it really better in the buff?

Want to lose weight? Suffering from arthritis, asthma, acne, cancer? Concerned about the welfare of animals? How about people? Local Economy? The Environment? Good, then you're in the right place to make a difference.

Personally, I have a rabid passion for environmental conservation and sustainability, optimum mental, physical, and spiritual health, animal rights, and human rights, so the answer is clear: plant-based, organic foods.

Others out there may simply want to improve their dietary choices to combat chronic illness or to lose weight, or contribute less to environmental degradation, or maybe you just have an emotional attachment to cows. ;) In these cases, you may be satisfied with making minor changes to your grocery list, and so this blog can be a tool for a reformation, rather than a total transformation. Great!

Either way, I am here to assist you and guide you along your journey to a healthier you! This blog has something for everyone, even the die-hard omnivore, because even meat-eaters like the occasional vegetable.

Smoothie Talk

Hey Folks!  I apologize for the delay in posting these recipes.  We are on the road visiting a tattoo friend in Nashville (she ROCKS, btw - if you ever need a tattoo, go see Tai) - and I haven't had access to Wi-Fi.  But here I am - better late than never!  I have had a few questions regarding what to have for breakfast, and my answer is always SMOOTHIES!  A meal in a cup - fast and filling (and eeeasy).  I have three standard smoothies that I rely on for a nutrition-packed, satisfying, satiating punch.  Here they are (and then some)!
