I returned to my yoga mat last week for the first time in a good long while. Wow. It. Was. Hard. Probably not the smartest decision I ever made to start off with a class taught by the super buff, professional dancer, Olympic champion of yoga (assuming that there was such a thing). But I did. And, in the end, [...]
Grilled Turkey Burgers with Onion & Peppers
Green grass, long sunny days, fresh strawberries and warmer weather. Summer is right around the corner and I can already smell the dinners roasting on the grill. What better way to leap into summer than firing up the BBQ! It’s one of the best ways to have dinner outside with the family or spend an afternoon entertaining friends. Looking for [...]
Chinese Chicken Salad
I love Chinese Chicken Salad, and I have to say that this cliche all-American Chinese dish sits right up there with the rest of the western classics – like the good ol’ ceasar or the hearty cobb. What I love most about the salad is the texture It’s all about the thinly chopped, watery Iceberg lettuce, sprinkles of fried noodles, [...]

Chili Lime Tofu Tostadas
I am a creature of habit. But who isn’t, right? We find the things that we like, we settle into routines, we opt for the KNOWN path of least resistance.

Creamy {vegan} Broccoli Soup
My mom always had her own sense of style – this eclectic mix of hand-me-downs that she had gathered over the years. Most of it came from my fashionista grandmother. Beautiful stuff that would have been perfect for any Mad Men party. Less so for a trip to the grocery store, a Little League game or a weekend beach picnic. [...]
30 Reasons Why We Make Healthy Eating Easy (and fun)
Just last week, Springer and I threw on a favorite Pandora music playlist (“Classic Indie Radio” to be exact), cracked open the refrigerator, and cooked a mini feast from our latest eBook, Eat Real Essentials. The real climax of the story is, we taped the whole thing…ON VIDEO! Fun times. To be quite honest, we haven’t had a full-on Springer [...]
Roasted Carrot & Wild Rice Salad
Serendipity is a funny thing. You know what I mean? Those happy, “unplannable” coincidences that feel so natural as they unfold. As I was sitting on my front stoop earlier today enjoying a quick sunshine break, I realized that we are actually living one right now at Eat Life Whole. We are, quite unintentionally, finding ourselves and our little biz [...]
It’s Here! Eat Real Essentials
When Steph & I opened the doors to Eat Life Whole a couple years ago, we weren’t quite sure where this journey was going to take us. All we knew for certain was that we shared a common commitment to providing busy folks like ourselves with the info and inspiration that they needed to take charge of their own health [...]
