This recipe is a spin off of the chocolate tofu pudding I have been making for my friends and also in my vegetarian lifestyle course. I wanted to try something different. I had a craving for the almond jello (you may have tried it at a Chinese restaurant) that my mom usually makes since it was absent from our Christmas menu this year for some reason. So, I decided to try to do an almond tofu pudding! Continue reading »

The weeks seem to be rolling by quickly. Last week, I was about to complete all of my exercise goals even with school starting. I hope to keep the positive momentum going. Saturday, I strained my tennis elbow again but I think I will get over it quickly. Let’s hope.

As a result of being frustrated with the cost of organic produce, I have opted to go with an organic home delivery service for the majority of my fruits and vegetables. It is much cheaper and also forces me to prepare veggies I wouldn’t have ordinarily chosen to purchase on my own. Continue reading »

 I am posting this recipe because my friend Mickey asked me last weekend about Chia. I prepare this is recipe several times a week; I like it for breakfast because it is filling and provides me with lots of energy. In addition, it tastes good and is easy to prepare.

There probably isn’t anyone on the face of the earth that does not have any bad habits. I was reading an article that discussed a new study by USC psychologists (published in the journal Pesonality and Social Psychology Bulletin), that helps explain why habits are so hard to break. In an experiment, the USC psychologists gave some movie theatre customers buckets of popcorn. Some of the buckets contained freshly popped popcorn and others contained week old, stale kernels.

Last week, all my exercise goals were met except for one day. After being absent from regular exercise for several months, I am happy with my first week. Now I feel very motivated to continue. This week will require time-management since I return to school Monday. Wish me luck!

Every year I try to make a few resolutions that are very doable. I feel large goals are too much for a new years resolution at least for me. The beginning of the year feels like a clean slate and it is so wonderful to make small steps toward larger goals. I am a big believer in baby steps. Continue reading »

As you can see, I still have not put my Christmas tablecloth away…yikes!  Anyway, I thought I’d start out by contributing the easiest recipe ever.  My mom makes really good roasted cauliflower but of course I could not remember how she did it.  Here is my version.  Roasting cauliflower always creates a wonderful, slightly crispy texture on the outside and is so easy to make!  Just remember that when you are serving cauliflower, you need to serve it with something since it can look drab on its own.

We are hoping that this blog will help create strategies for people so that they can have better balance their health, career, and personal lives. I am sure we will also learn some from all of you as well. Welcome to our blog!!!
