You Are What You Eat

I ran across this show on BBC America last year. A hollistic nutritionist named Dr. Gillian McKeith http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/273/index.jsp gives people frank insight as to how the food they are eating affects their health. This woman is no bigger than a minute and does not mince her words when letting people know how changing their diet can add years to their lives. I found watching the show addictive. She has all of her clients write down the food they eat for a week and then she actually goes out and purchases all of it, laying it out on a table for them to get a visual of what they have put into their bodies. If you get BBC America, check out the show. I included the link to their website so you can read more about it if interested.

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
