Medicinal Turmeric Tea – How To Get Warm From The Inside Out
I don’t love the cold, which is why I moved from England to Los Angeles 18 years ago. But even in LA, it’s turned a bit too chilly for my liking. Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving the El Nino rain, but the gray dampness just isn’t doing it for me. Ayurvedic medicine tells me […]
Raw Meyer Lemon Cheesecake
I love this Raw Meyer Lemon Cheesecake- it’s light, summery, and the Meyer lemon is just the right amount of tang. I have a Meyer lemon tree in my backyard and I do not know what I would do without it. I am a lemon freak (eat them everyday), but a Meyer lemon is a […]

A vegan mint chip smoothie that’s actually healthy is just the ticket for this Holiday! During the holidays, I definitely indulge in sugary desserts and other yummy treats and usually I feel guilty about it. Fear not because this smoothie is amazingly delicious without the guilt.

Sticky Fig Granola
I found some beautiful dried figs in my farmers market on Sunday, so came home and made one of my favorite granola recipes to date. I added ginger, as I love the pairing of the fig and the ginger. I also added ground flax seed so that it’s full of healthy Omega 3 fatty acids. […]
