Hello Friends,
Since I was out of the country for the start of the new year, February has kind-of-been like my January :)! So now that my new year has officially begun, so has my re-inspired love for healthy snacks. My latest and greatest favorite is super simple and only has 3 ingredients :).
rice crackers + hummus + kraut
For those of you that are #vegan and/or #glutenfree, this is a fantastic snack (or an impressive appetizer) that is fast, filling and easily changeable…not to forget it also looks beautiful :).

I love India. There’s something so magical about being there…but so hard to put into words.
India is a country full of all sorts of extremes that can stimulate your senses and evoke a lot of emotions. These extremes are not compartmentalized or segregated, but instead they all co-exist. There’s richness and poorness, spirituality and materialism, spicy and extra spicy :), wide open farmland and overly congested cities, traffic jams and water buffalo crossings, delicious aromas and putrid smells and a deep innate sense of the constant bustle and peaceful stillness that life has to offer.
It’s amazing.

Before leaving for India, I had the pleasure of working on a commissioned, mixed-media art piece for a dear friend of mine. Her first grandchild was born this year, so she was inspired to give her daughter and granddaughter a very special first Christmas present that she hopes will be handed down from generation to generation.

Since I’m not here for Thanksgiving this year, I thought I’d share some recipes from one of my favorite blogs, Oh She Glows! She has a great step by step, 3-Course, Vegan & Gluten Free Holiday Menu that looks pretty good…I’ve never made these particular recipes, but all the recipes I have tried from her site have been DELICIOUS…so I have high hopes for these as well.

Hello all!
Well, I leave for India this weekend and boy, am I excited! I have not been to India since 2006 and I know so much has changed….for the country as well as for myself :). This will be the first time my family in India will meet my husband…this Thanksgiving marks our 7 year Anniversary, so this visit is definitely overdue!

This past summer I had the fortune of spending quite a bit of time with my meditation teacher Shri Anandi Ma. For those of you that don’t know, Anandi Ma is a spiritual master in the lineage of Kundalini Maha Yoga. Her mission is to help people reach their true selves through meditation; and she has students all across the world.

It’s October…yippeee! Another autumn full of gorgeous colored leaves, sweater days (& BOOTS), fresh apple pie out of the oven, evenings chilly enough for fires (& SNUGGLING), big pots of soup that make the kitchen windows steamy and the excitement of the holidays in the air! Yes, I do indeed love you, Autumn :)…you are one of my favorites!
