Well, I saved the best for last! Chili Garlic Edamame. Heidi wanted us to enjoy a month of soy and I complied. Truth be told, I didn’t enjoy many of the tofu-based recipes—but, I had no trouble adding organic soy milk into almost anything edible. My favorite way to “get in” my soy on a […]
Be Nice! Menopause 101.
“Mental strength means you understand how to manage your emotions, adjust your thinking, and choose to take positive action, despite your circumstances. It’s knowing deep down that every little struggle is progress. And if you really want it, you’ll do it, despite failure and rejection and the odds.” Mark Rochefort, Mark and Angel Life Hack […]
Blueberry Mango Soy Smoothie
Another week of incorporating soy into my life and finding that it isn’t as hard as I thought it would be—cold cereal, smoothies, oatmeal, mashed potatoes and scrambled tofu. Who knew? Almost every day, I fix myself a soy smoothie because it’s quick and easy. So, I whipped up this very delicious mango-blueberry soy smoothed […]
And, it’s that time of the month. . .
I have to say that I’ve never felt better about being psychotic one week a month than I do since I started working on Body of Eve. I have learned in the last couple of months that I was not alone in thinking that I must buy a handgun when I came upon something as […]
Good Morning! Breakfast is Served.
Today I was looking for a recipe that incorporated a soy product, but I needed a break from tofu. And, it dawned on me that one of my favorite recipes is slow cooker oatmeal. I wondered if I could use soy milk instead of regular milk, so I did a little research and found that […]
Sweet 16!
No tofu here! Friday was my daughter’s Sweet 16th birthday, so the last part of my week was crazy and definitely a little hormonal–both mother and daughter. I’d like to say that the menu was clean and plant-based, based we had a cheat night. We had our cake and ate it, too! I’ll be posting […]
Sleep and Hormones – A Marriage Made in Heaven
Because my role as part of the Bodyofeve.com duo is based on experience and not expertise, I’m always excited when I read a great article or find a credible resource when it comes to my climb up “Mount Hormones.” Today, the Huffington Post featured an article by Kristin Kirkpatrick, a dietitian who serves as the […]
Super Easy Baked Orange Juice Tofu
I’m certainly learning a lot about tofu so far this month. I had no idea that it had to be pressed before you cook with it—I thought you just cut open the package, fish a chunk out of the milky water, slap it onto the cutting board and create your tofu masterpiece. The recipe I […]
Schools Out for Summer Hormones & Aha Moments
Well, it’s 10:45 pm and I finally have the presence of mind to sit down and blog. It’s been a long day teetering between being grateful that I’m home with my kids for the summer and hiding inside the broom closet in an effort to privately “meditate” myself into sanity. Today was especially whacky because […]
Easy, Tasty Tofu Curry Veggie Bowl
So, this month is all about hormones and Heidi is going to tell us all about how that controversial ingredient “soy” fits into our menopausal lifestyle. She has challenged me to cook often with tofu (which is soy-based) this month and I’m kind of excited. The only time I actually order a tofu dish is […]
