Manage Stress With Soul-Centered Self-Care

As a culture, Americans have accepted that it is okay and even normal to feel stress on a regular basis. Think about it — when you are catching up with your friends or co-workers, how often do you start out by discussing things that are bringing you feelings of peace and calm? We encourage one another by commiserating about our busy schedules, challenges in our ...

Orange Blossom Panna Cotta with a Rhubarb Compote

  If you’ve ever visited my blog you’ll believe me when I say I’m mad for panna cotta — I already have two versions over there.

Garlic-Amino Chicken Kebabs

  Its getting to be that time of year again where we can fire up the grill for some quick summer eats, and today I’m sharing one of my favorite grill recipes. The quick marinade works its magic tenderizing the chicken due to enzymes in the pineapple juice, and creates a nice sweet and savory sauce with the coconut aminos (which is a soy-free sauce ...

The True Cost of Sleep Debt: Can You Recover?

When you know or suspect you have an autoimmune disease, so many things change — your shopping list, your approach to cooking, and the attention you pay to nutrition labels, to name a few. Even with this attention to detail, though, you may still be denying your body a critical aid in the fight against inflammation: the elusive practice of getting enough sleep. As Mickey ...
