A Year Ago

July 1, 2010

I was reading Corporette today and just realized I guest-blogged over there a year ago already.   I know I have many readers from when this blog was mainly a beauty blog, so I am grateful that you have kept reading despite the severe lack of beauty posts lately.  I still love makeup, but I […]

Curried Adzukis with Mango and Spinach

Update Sunday April 24, 2011: This is a recipe that I made last year and really enjoyed.  Therefore I am submitting it to today’s Real Sustenance Seasonal Sunday, seeing as it contains numerous seasonal ingredients such as spinach, mango, onions and garlic. I am also submitting it to this Tuesday’s upcoming Slightly Indulgent Tuesday over […]

Pink vintage car

No that was not our car for our road trip over Memorial Day weekend, but I forgot to take a picture of our Zipcar, which was going to be the first picture in this post. Traveling with any sort of diet restrictions can be (hard) work, particularly if you would like to avoid eating too […]

I Heart The Rice Cooker

June 17, 2010
Rice Cooker

  I have written before how much I love the rice cooker. It is similar to this one and makes perfect brown rice, delicious steamy quinoa (I got the idea of cooking quinoa in the rice cooker from Karina) and allows for quick steamed veggies when I can’t face another salad – and this morning […]

Raspberry Almond Soft Serve in the Vita-Mix

June 13, 2010
Berry soft serve in bowl

Last weekend, as Washington was in the grips of steamy rain atop yet another 90 degree day, I resolved that today would be the day I make soft-serve in the Vita-Mix.  After all, I had managed to talk myself out of buying the Cuisinart Ice-Cream Maker  at the ridiculously good price on Amazon because of […]

Delicious Eats at Zaytinya

June 11, 2010
Gigante Beans at Zaytinyas

I have always liked Jose Andres restaurants in Washington, DC – they balance consistency with seasonality with delicious flavors.  As I have moved towards eating completely gluten-free and dairy-free (and mostly vegan, particularly when I eat out) for health reasons, I am particularly grateful that my three favorite Jose Andres restaurants (Oyamel, Jaleo and Zaytinya) […]

June 9, 2010
Java green curry

Happy Tuesday! As I often do after getting back from being out of town, life just seems to move way way too quickly.  I just got back from Tuesday night yoga and am about to watch the Glee finale (love the DVR).  I wanted to stop by and tell my DC readers about about an […]

Homemade Falafel with Toppings

  Hi everyone – I hope you are having a lovely Friday. Today I wanted to talk about falafel/felafel. Last week I had the worst falafel craving.  A Maoz recently opened in my neighborhood, and I loved their falafel when I lived in New York. It did not even occur to me to check if […]

Yoga on the National Mall

Yoga on the National Mall

Yoga Week started on Saturday, with Yoga on the National Mall, including a practice led by Shiva Rea. One thing I always loved about living in New York was going to yoga classes outdoors (whether on rooftops or in parks) and I never took advantage of enough of those opportunities, so I put yoga on […]

Sun Salutations with Shiva Rea

May 17, 2010
Shiva Rea Vira workshop May 2010

On Friday, I went to Shiva Rea‘s Sun Salutations workshop – I loved the theme of the description, Realization through Embodiment of the Inner Sun, but I also picked it because I last time she taught in Washington, I went to her Bhakti practice rather than the Vira (warrior) practice.  At the time I wanted […]

Tuesday Night Yoga

May 4, 2010

Today is Tuesday, which means time on the mat tonight is mandatory.  And since February 23, I am happy to report that Tuesday Night Yoga has become a firmly ingrained habit.  While to some, such a habit is a no-brainer, such consistency for me is a big change. Working out – heck, just moving enough […]
