Happy May Day! Happy Menopause! What better day to celebrate the first day of May and (just coincidentally) the launch of our new blog, Body of Eve—a menopausal manifesto that is sure to change your life. OK, we know. You are already changing. That’s why we are all here. “We” being women between “30 something” […]

Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp
I think Thai food is my most favorite food on the planet. No, I know it is. We love this little Thai food place on the corner and most likely Eric and I are their best customers. They joke we should be family. Its just our go-to place when we are too tired to […]
Egg in a Hole {Quick Breakfast}
Love eggs? Love toast? Try this Egg in a Hole. This recipe is also known as egg-in-a-basket, egg-in-a-nest and birds-nest-egg. Whatever! It’s just a simple and fun way to serve yourself up a quick, healthy breakfast. This recipe is an old standby that everyone in my family loves! Just make sure you use a hearty […]
The Fresh 20 Inspired Hummus Tortilla Melt
This is the first of my “Fresh 20” (www.thefresh20.com) inspired recipes and the second time in my life I’ve eaten hummus, except this time I actually liked it. I think the other hummus “incident” occurred when I was with a Heidi few years ago and she suggested I choke it down with some carrots. Just […]

I wish I could say I was one of those superhero moms who gets it all done, including putting a delicious, healthful meal on the table seven days a week. And, if you are one of […]
Chia Seed Pudding
I love this chia seed pudding. It’s a recipe that I have no guilt eating. Nope. None. In this recipe I am using….Wild Blueberries (found year around in the frozen food section). LOVE these wild berries because they are wildly different from the regular blueberries you normally find in the produce section. Their tiny blue bodies […]
Grilled Corn Salad with Vinaigrette
Early April is exciting for this Iowa girl now living in Idaho because we start to get some decent corn-on-the-cob options in our local grocery store. Although, shipped in from California and not the same as fresh off the stalk Midwestern deliciousness – it’s not too bad. Combined with some very fine organic California avocados, […]
Kicking Inspiration’s Ass
Just prior to the launch of this blog, I was lucky enough to travel to Paris with my husband and two kids. For part of the trip, we were in the company of a woman who was only five years older than I, weighed well over 300 pounds, could barely walk and also on the […]
