“small, consistent habits are what bring results” says Courtney over at Radical Radiance. I couldn’t agree more. Somebody, sorry, I forget who, once asked me, “what’s the one smallest thing you can do today to get yourself closer to achieving your goal?” When I replied, that person came back at me with, “well then...

Courtney on habits gets me into goals
Sprouted Quinoa & Hemp Seed Tabbouleh
Our boyfriend N. is visiting from Berkeley, so I didn’t juice the past few days as planned. I had a bunch of green stuff in the fridge which needed to be used up so I decided to make tabbouleh. This recipe is a variation of the old standard. I prefer not to use measurements...

Oops
I forgot to start soaking buckwheat groats this morning. It’s ok. I’ll start them tonight. They’ll just sprout for a little less time. Fortunately, they don’t need to get to the point of having tails. And, I had a little wiggle room built in. You only need to soak the buckwheat for about 8...

Weekends are relaxing?
Oy! It’s been a busy day. I have washed, dried, folded AND put-away seven (yes seven!!) loads of laundry. I have washed Julius Seizure, our half-blind epileptic little doggie. I have swept floors. I have tidied. I have cleaned and organized. I started some alfalfa sprouts. I made carrot, cauliflower and tarragon soup. I...

Overcoming cynicism
I have to admit – I have an overly healthy sense of cynicism. I look at the regulars on the raw food circuit and think to myself, “are they really that freaking positive all the time?” It’s a great advertisement for eating living foods if they truly are. I find myself alternatively inspired and...
