A Waldorf Variation

This salad satisfies my sweet tooth with some fruit and citrus flavors. It also has a great crunchy quality with the celery and apples. There are umpteen Waldorf variations and this is the one that I like.

1 apple (your choice...I love Gala and Fuji apples)
2 stalks celery
1 big bunch of red seedless grapes
1 heaping Tbsp of fat free plain regular or Greek yogurt
the juice of half a lemon
walnuts (about a handful)

Chop up your apple and celery stalks into bite size pieces. Slice the grapes in half. Put these all in a bowl together. Add the yogurt and squeeze your lemon. Mix everything together, add your walnuts and cosume!!! Your getting vitamin C with the lemon juice, some protein with the yogurt, healthy fats from the walnuts, negative calories with the celery and tasty apples and grapes. This is basically for one person. Just double, triple, quadruple it up for more people.

Let's be successful together!

Hello clients and friends! I had a brainwave this past week to create a blog to share some of the awesome recipes that I have been using recently. I've renewed my committment to myself to eat healthy and want to stay accountable by sharing it with all of you and also giving you the opportunity to try some of the recipes yourself. I'd love to have your comments and feedback. The cookbooks that I have been using are The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook by Tosca Reno and also The Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie Katzen. I've been very pleasantly surprised by the recipes in Tosca's book and love the vegetarian recipes in Mollie's. Thank you for taking a moment to read through this. I hope you'll enjoy some of these recipes as much as I have.

Body Zen Skin Care and Massage...the beginning

It's been quite a while since I started this blog.  My initial intention, 4 years ago, was to write a blog about the clean eating recipes that I had started to try at the time.  A lot can change in 4 years.  I've since learned how to dance salsa and bachata, taught at a massage school, moved from the North Shore back into Boston, and started my own one woman day spa, Body Zen Skin Care and Massage, inside of Novita Salon in Cambridge, MA. It's really exciting and at the same time really scary!  I've made some really awesome choices and I've also realized that some of my choices have not been very wise.  What a learning process!  I have to admit, I love being my own boss.  My daily goal is to please every single client that receives a service from me, so in reality, each one of you, my clients, are my boss.  I wouldn't have it any other way. The idea of having my own space has been percolating in my brain since I was in my business class at the Muscular Thera

Tofu Chocolate Mousse

"What's with the tofu, beez?" is probably what you all are thinking. I know, I know...weird. I had the silken tofu from the Pumpkin Tofu Soup and thought that it would be great to not have to waste what I had left over. I regularly don't like the texture of silken tofu but didn't have any aversion to it being blended in the soup and the tofu in this recipe is mixed with chocolate (yum!) and put through a food processor, so that took care of the texture issue. I've been having a HUGE challenge this week to stay sugar free because Aunt Flow is knocking at my door. This is not a sugar free dessert but it is something that I feel a little bit better about eating, number 1: because I made it myself and number 2: I'm getting protein, too. Yes...I know I'm justifying. Gimme a break...I'm getting my period. Here's the recipe: 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips or dark chocolate bars broken into small pieces 12 oz silken tofu brought to room temp 1/2 cu
