Because of upcoming exams, presentations, and papers, I will not be writing anything here for about a week. You can expect a new post on Monday, May 5. Thanks!

Best Hummus Ever
Posted in Recipes, tagged Cooking, food, Middle-Eastern on April 22, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Before I get back to talking about buying non-toxic mattresses, I thought I’d pass on another favorite recipe. We can’t get enough of this Middle-Eastern dip around our house. Even though the recipe makes a big batch, the two of us usually polish it off within 48 hours. It’s really, truly delightful. The lemon juice [...]
Buying a Non-Toxic Mattress, Part 1
Posted in Avoiding Toxins, Green Living, Health, tagged beds, chemicals, mattresses, organic, toxins on April 21, 2008 | 7 Comments »
After suffering for many months with daily pain and intense trouble sleeping, my husband and I finally made the plunge and bought a new bed. It was a difficult decision for us, considering the expense, but we are so thankful now. It has made a huge difference. Our back pain has declined to almost nothing, we sleep more soundly, and [...]
Why I Love My Mother-In-Law

Have you ever seen an apron this cute?
My mother-in-law gave this apron to me a couple of weeks ago during her visit. With no provocation whatsoever. No birthday. No holiday. No anniversary. No reasons for apology or making up.
She did it just because.
And that makes me feel really special.
Besides, I have a secret penchant for [...]
Busy Day Mexican Chicken Soup
Posted in Recipes, tagged food, quick meal, soup on April 15, 2008 | 2 Comments »
As much as I enjoy cooking, I have those days when I’m just too tired or too busy to put much time into dinner. If I’m not prepared for these occasions, this can mean a trip to a restaurant. That gets expensive in a hurry, especially if I still attempt to eat healthfully. Or, I [...]

I’m sorry I didn’t post on Sunday or Monday, but I promise to roll one out today. So please do check back later. Also, I have very good news: my digital SLR is on its way! That means the addition of photographs to the website very soon. I’m so excited!
Spicy Red Lentil and Kale Stew
Posted in Recipes, tagged Cooking, diabetes, food, greens, hypoglycemia, kale, lentils, soup on April 10, 2008 | 7 Comments »
I arrived home from school today with no ideas for dinner. I’ve been recovering from a visit from my mother-in-law (which was great, by the way), studying for 3 exams, and revising a paper this week. As you can imagine, menu planning has been low on my list of priorities. Fortunately, after poking around in the [...]
Broccoli with Lemon and Olive Oil
Posted in Recipes, tagged broccoli, food, lemons, side dishes, vegetables on April 9, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Looking for a way to enliven steamed broccoli? This recipe might be just the ticket. When you’re trying to eat as many vegetables as possible, it helps a lot to find new ways to prepare them. The flavors in this recipe are bright and refreshing–never boring. I find this dish particularly useful when I need to bring a [...]
Tarragon Carrot-Cauliflower Soup
Posted in Cooking, Recipes, tagged candida, diabetes, food, hypoglycemia, soup on April 8, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I know the word ‘cauliflower’ will send children across America scrambling for the door, but I have a secret: they don’t ever have to know about the cauliflower lurking in this delightful soup. Chances are, even you won’t be able to detect it. The cauliflower simply adds creaminess, body, and lots of nutritional value (especially vitamin C, folate, and fiber). [...]
Marinara-Style Cultured Vegetables Recipe

Clever girl that I am, I finally figured out how to access the marinara-style cultured veggie recipe again.
Ahem.
Actually, my cleverness has nothing to do with you now having access to this delicious recipe. My darling husband revealed to me the wonders of viewing a “cached” version of GoHealthGirl’s currently non-functioning blog. Exactly what “cached” means, I [...]
