Vegetarian Sandwich Recipe I love a hearty veggie sandwich and this recipe absolutely delivers. With Mother's Day fast approaching, this recipe is a quick, nutritious, yet elegant dish to serve to any loving mama. It's filled with thick layers of grilled eggplant, roasted red peppers and velvety avocado. In partnership with Real California Milk, I used a Latino cheese farmed in California named Oaxaca. It's mild in flavor, yet thick and melts beautifully. I thought it was the perfect cheese for this hearty vegetable sandwich! The veggie sandwich also has a creamy spread using another … [Read more...]

Ever read a story that, as soon as you finish it, you know that it won't soon be forgotten? Our very own Dad Therapist gives us a glimpse of how he'll spend his Mother's Day.

Motherhood & Death: Love Transcends Human Nature

Motherhood & Death: Love Transcends Human Nature
May 8, 2013 By 2 Comments

Motherhood is a crazy thing, isn't it? One minute you're you, and the next minute, you're... well, someone else. In those first moments of motherhood, everything about a women's story is altered. It starts anew. With the birth of her child, she is reborn into all the possibilities of what could be. Of what should be. There is hope and love and beauty in all that once held none. But, for me, the ultimate transformation of motherhood occurred after the birth story. Weeks after bringing home baby. Always choose life, until you become a mom I love life. Despite traumas or disasters, I choose … [Read more...]

Enjoy Mediterranean Diet Month with Barilla & Chef Lorenzo
May 7, 2013 By 20 Comments

That's why I'm excited to partner with Barilla this month to celebrate Mediterranean Diet Month and learn about the lifestyle. The focus of the Mediterranean Diet is on fruits, vegetables, grains, nut/seeds and lean proteins. It does not adopt crazy restrictions on specific food groups, but rather a focus on … [Read more...]
