Allow me to geek out for a moment: this week in Biochem, we learned about scurvy, a disease that is caused by a lack of Vitamin C, or ascorbate. Famously, sailors on transoceanic voyages in centuries past were susceptible to scurvy, since they had little access to fresh fruits or vegetables. Advanced cases of scurvy [...]

I have a love/hate relationship with raw wraps. I love them because they’re versatile, easy to prepare, and way more fun than sandwiches. I hate them because I have yet to make a homemade raw wrap that was really excellent. They’ve all been too thin, too dry, to thick, or too dense. When I went [...]

A few of you have noticed that I mentioned chlorella in my recent smoothie posts. It showed up in my cherry vanilla smoothie last week, and it made an appearance yesterday, too, in my Down Dog smoothie (thanks, by the way, for the nice comments on that post—I love it when yogis unite!).

The other day, I caught myself sprinkling a tablespoon of ground flaxseed onto a warm and bowl of morning oats and fruit. This is force of habit as much as anything else: I’m simply very accustomed to putting flax into my oats as they cook, or sprinkling it upon them after. As soon as I [...]

The “Half Lives” of Eating Disorders

January 19, 2012

Hello, friends. So glad it’s nearly Friday! Thanks for such enthusiasm over the carrot and oat bread. A good many of you told me you plan to make it this weekend, and if you do, I hope it turns out OK. Today, I wanted to delve into something a little more thought-provoking than carrot bread, [...]
