A CHEF’S WIFE/ YOGA TEACHER’S GUIDE ON HOW NOT TO MAKE AN “ASANA” OUT OF YOURSELF…
OFF THE MAT AND IN THE KITCHEN!
Huckle Buckle Beanstalk!
I absolutely LOVE the month of December! Think Advent calendars, sending Christmas cards, crafting, Christmas caroling, making cookies, eating said cookies and playing holiday games like White Elephant/Bastard Christmas and Elf on the Shelf, better known in my...
Eat dirt! Cake, that is.
Have you never heard of Dirt Cake before? It's basically a mud pie of vanilla and chocolate pudding, butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese, whipped cream, gummy worms and smashed up Oreo's, that create a "dirt"looking effect. It's outragously decadent and at the same...
All hail kale!
Happy December and welcome back Yummy Yogini readers! It's the most wonderful time of the year! What a holiday debauchery was had last week. Even though all my side dishes were vegan, I totally overindulged (and overdid it) on pumpkin creme brûlée and...
Can you please pass the sides?!
Happy Thanksgiving-Eve Yummy Yogini readers! I'm thankful you're all following this blog and commenting, sending me new recipes, ideas, tricks of the trade and such. It makes writing this blog a real adventure and I'm thoroughly enjoying the ride! I did all of my...
Butter-less Gingerbread Buddies
It's Thanksgiving week and I'm busy planning my menu, trying recipes and making treats for my students, all while trying to eat clean so that I can feast on Thursday and have a Happy Friday and not a 'Black' Friday the next day! I'm most excited for the homemade Green...
A Kindle and Kombucha-cha-cha
As Thanksgiving nears, I always become more aware of those around me whom I am most grateful for, since I'm not in Chicago or Rhode Island with my family this holiday (again!) and I don't want be a pair of sad pants. Obviously my husband, dogs and friends are at the...
Very berry Vegan brownies
I honestly don't know how some of you work in offices all day surrounded by those cookies, brownies and candy… and yet somehow seem to resist temptation and keep on keeping on! I would crumble! And then probably have a bite of that too if it were in front of me! Meet...
‘Bean’ me up Scotty!
What a glorious day it is to be alive!! I spent all of Monday night (sleepless) and Tuesday (morning and early afternoon) hugging the toilet for dear life, after some virus or stomach bug took ahold of my body and wouldn't let go! I'm never sick so I don't handle...
Beans, beans the musical fruit…
…the more ya eat the more ya toot, the more ya toot, the better ya feel, then ya ready for your second meal! Does anyone out there remember that rhyme? My third grade teacher Mrs. Blanco made us watch a PBS special on beans and how wonderful "vegetables" were and this...
I like to drop mad beets!
…into my salads, veggie burgers and for the first time today, brownies! Why? Because my friend Summer told me she makes a mean red velvet chocolate cake using beets as the dye and I didn't believe her! Then I looked on Pinterest and wow, beets are everywhere! Beets in...
It’s easy being green!
What a productive day I've had thus far and it's not even two o'clock yet! This morning, I taught my 6:15 a.m. class at Harmony House, took in a spin class, slipped in some Ashtanga, visited the library, and then I bolted for the Farmer's Market because I forgot it...
Blue Ballet Bread… said three times fast!
Blue Ballet Bread, Bkue Balley Bread, Blu Ball Breed. See! I can't even spell it three times fast, never mind say it, but it smells so good in my oven that I know I'll eat it three times as fast! What is this bread I speak, you may ask? Why, it's my own Yummy Yogini...
