How Will You Come Out of SIP?
By my count, it's been 108 days since Governor Newsom sent us home for 'two weeks' to try and flatten the curve. When we come out of our SIP and start living life in the open you are going to see friends who totally rocked the SIP and are fitter, thinner and in great shape. …
Looking Inward
I have lived 53 years without knowing what Juneteenth was. I never heard about the Tulsa Race Massacre until Donald Trump planned to hold a rally in Oklahoma. I never had a conversation with my teenage son about what to do if he's pulled over by the police. I. Never. Gave. It. A. Thought. I …

"Yeah, but....I don't have the time to meal prep" "Yeah, but....I could NEVER give up cheese!" "Yeah, but...your classes are so early" "Yeah, but...it's easy for …
How to Make Amazing Salads

Hey Alexa, What Can I Make with Coconut Milk?
Yes, it's come to this. We've been SIP for too long and I'm sick of my own cooking. This is why I had a shout out to my "personal assistant". Sadly she just gave me dessert recipes Which I don't mind (note to self for later), but it wasn't what I was looking for. So …
