Be sure to check out Monday’s blog post (part one of my six-month high-raw mostly-vegan adventure!). Not only am I planning on going high-raw and mostly-vegan for the next six months, but I’m also planning on going as gluten-free and organic as I can.

I’ve been thinking about raw food again. The weather’s been warmer, and in February I stopped keeping my pantry totally stocked.

I get a microphone for a whole evening! On Thursday night, The Bride called me to ask if I would be emcee at her wedding. Considering my love of public speaking and standing in front of an audience, I immediately said yes. Her wedding is a two-day affair this coming weekend, March 18/19. It turns [...]
“The Freshman 15″ refers to the weight often gained by first year college students. Why do some students gain weight? A major factor is dining at all-you-can-eat college cafeterias, which typically serve fatty foods and foods rich in carbohydrates.
