I decided to have a go at making paella—a healthier paella—using RightRice which has less sodium and 40% less net carbs than regular white rice. It’s made 90% from vegetables so you’re getting more protein and fiber from the veggies when you choose it over regular rice.

Clearly you know I’m an adidas super fan as well as an ambassador, so how could I not announce this exciting drop, right? I’m particularly excited because normally I wear more sporty and classic styles from adidas’ fitness and athleisure collections, and this set feels refreshingly different.

I don’t do this often. I’m very picky about everything I share because I take my health + yours very seriously.  Do I take supplements? Yes, A LOT of them but you won’t typically find me pushing them on others because I’ve felt for so long that supplements should be a personal exploration of what’s right for your body. But this time is a little different. I’m blown away by Magnesium Breakthrough from BiOptimizers.

Like many of you, I've been doing a lot of cooking throughout 4 months of sheltering in place and self-quarantining. This Buddha Bowl with Sesame Marinated Tofu is one of my best recipes from this time, although I'll be sharing a few more of my quarantine-cooking favorites. I just love how beautiful this one turned out and it was equally beautiful to eat...I literally couldn't stop. I'll give you a little background on how it came to be...

I never had “baby fever” but in my late 30’s I knew with certainty that I wanted to be a mom. (Fyi, I'm 41 now.) For me, that was all I needed to know to make it a reality but there were some issues I still had to work through, and I was far from ready to plunge into baby making.

My life before the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic hit the US was literally non-stop travel from December to early March. I definitely saw a lot of people at the airport wearing respirators and disinfecting their seats on the plane, but it really never occurred to me that soon we’d all be in a state of lockdown. The face masks, at the time, seemed a bit much to me. I was conscientiously using hand sanitizer and wiping down my seat too, but I was 100% clueless about what was to come next. And you know what? I’m thankful for my blissful ignorance…because who knows when I’ll be traveling next!
