Healthy Slaw Recipe

August 24, 2015

PSA: Don't forget about the YBC Official App! You can download it and take YBC yoga vids with you anywhere you can cell service. And, we're filling up spots for our Costa Rica jungle retreat for November! Hope you'll join!

A few weeks ago I met up with a friend for a walk. We hit up our local Whole Foods for a light lunch, and they offered a healthy coleslaw option with a dressing of olive oil, AVC, and local honey. It was so delicious and it seemed pretty straightforward so I set out to recreate it the next day (it was that good). I've pretty much been making it twice a week ever since and it's the perfect, most refreshing and satisfying summer salad so I wanted to share with you.

Healthy Chicken Liver Pate

July 30, 2015

PSA: We have just seven YBC Mantra Boxes in stock! Pre-order yours now while you still can!

The other day, while at Whole Foods, I spotted chicken livers for sale. They're so inexpensive and I know they're really good for you (the GAPS diet is all about livers, woof!) but I've never found a way to cook them that I liked, so I asked my husband Greg to whip something up. He's sorta fearless in the kitchen and was down to help me out, so today he's sharing his liver pate-making experience. Hope you enjoy. xo

I consider myself super lucky to have a husband that enjoys cooking. Well, maybe "enjoys" isn't quite the right word, but we are very different cooks. I cook, and while I think I do a good job, I am not exactly a clean-as-you-go type of person. No matter how hard I try, it always looks like a bomb went off afterwards.

Are Expensive Blenders Worth It? Pt 2 (And A Pecan Butter Smoothie Recipe)

May 22, 2014

Stumped on whether or not to buy a high powered blender like a Blendtec? I feel you. I mean, it's a blender, you know?! It is really worth it to spend so much money?! So when Blendtec offered to let my try out their blender I decided to see if these expensive blenders could actually save us money in the long run. First, I made some tomato sauce.

Today, I'm focusing on ice cream. Because who doesn't love ice cream? It's a "healthy" ice cream - there's no added sugar - but don't let that fool you because the bananas offer up enough sweetness that you won't be feeling like you're eating a healthier ice cream.

Can a high powered, expensive blender actually save us money in the long run?

Blendtec Designer Series Review (And a Tomato Sauce Recipe)

May 19, 2014

We debated for what seems like ages on whether to go with a Vitamix or a Blentec because the promises of both were almost too good to be true. Soups! Salsas! Spreads! Almond milk! Peanut butter! Smoothies! I mean, what couldn't these things make?!

So we got a Vitamix. And had a little love affair with it. But I'll be honest, the plunger thing was a pain, and when my arthritic issues were flaring up in my hands, it would be physically painful to use it. So when Blendtec offered to let me try one of their blenders, I was pumped because it meant that there'd no longer be any kind of pushing or stirring or jamming of the plunger.
