happy, healthy & hot

It’s a typical Monday

and here’s what I ate.  Why am I telling you?  Because I get questions from friends asking what I eat on a day to day basis.  So I’m going to tell you about a typical day.  If you are trying to eat gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, Paleo, or just clean, maybe you’ll get some ideas. As […]

I tend to avoid garlic

because I don’t want to stink!  So I was a little hesitant to try the garlic flavored ghee from Simply Ghee.  I had no fear of the Sriracha…I love a little heat! You may remember back in February I had a great time talking to the Ghee Gals, Nancy and Bev, about Simply Ghee, their […]

Move over, Jason Derulo!

I have a new boyfriend…Mark Hyman! Seriously, I love this guy!  He may not sing and dance like Jason Derulo, but then who can? Mark Hyman is a best selling author, and also the director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, and the founder of the UltraWellness Center.
