Recipes

I've been vegan, vegetarian, omnivore; I've lived off top ramen, raw foods; I've lost weight, gained weight, and back again. Where does that leave me now? After years of bouncing from one extreme to the other, I am now focusing more on balance, than perfection. Follow my journey through creating tasty meals and drinks, experimenting with elimination diets for allergy testing, and good old fashioned yummy-ness.
