Bliss Kitchen

Lunch: Mung Dal with Broccoli. Salad with tomatoes, avocado, radicchio, basil, mozarella cheese in a olive oil and lemon dressing. Sweet Lassi.

Dr. Douillard's recent newsletter said to start eating more apples, pears and watermelon. That sounded so good, and I've really been focusing on eating them whenever I need a pick me up. They're in season, and taste wonderful. Especially the watermelons are really sweet right now.

You know, it takes a while for the melons to mature (basically all summer!), and now it's harvest time. Enjoy some melon every day. Remeber eat it alone, however.

Melons digest quickly, so it's best to eat them alone, so they don't get slowed down by slower digesting foods. When that happens to me, I usually get gas!

In The Moment Eating...

2007-09-03T02:48:00.000-07:00

Living in Palm Desert...My main sources of protein have become chicken, garbonzo beans and lentils. With lots of cooked greens for vegetables. Cottage cheese, mozarella cheese, Tortillas, Lassi. Aloe Vera Juice, and more...to be continued with recipes and cooking shows.

I'm also listening again to my favorite online radio station Groove Salad by SomaFM.

Here's how to find and play the same tunes that are rockin' Bliss Kitchen.

Open iTunes Store>In your library, click on Radio>Click open "Ambient," and scroll down to Groove Salad>Click to open, and play.( I choose 128 kbps.)

Palm Springs in the Summer!

2007-07-03T14:31:00.000-07:00

Chris and I moved to Palm Springs, California last week, and we're lovin' it. It's everything I was hoping for right now. Sunshine every day. Warm weather (bordering on hot! at 111 degrees today). A wonderful market called Harvest Health on Hwy. 111, with all organic products. Inside the market is Luscious Lorraine’s a delicious café. We’re surrounded by beautifully majestic mountains. Incredible landscaping everywhere. Delicious dates - the eating kind. Salt water swimming pools. Clean drinking water, and air. I'm in heaven!

Lavender Festival

2007-06-18T14:31:00.000-07:00

This is a picture from the 3rd Annual Organic Lavender Festival held in Cherry Valley, CA. It was one of the most fantastic days of my life. Really. Everything was perfect: the scenery, the fragrant air, the food, the music, the artistry, the attention to detail, the lovely people, the fun, even the petty zoo had the perfect animals.

I'm definitely looking forward to going again next year. Maybe we can make a date?! Let me know if you're interested.

I feel like it's time to start taking it again.

I did a Money Muscle Session with my friendly Blissful babe Wendy Gail Young. It was great. I am manifesting 4 tickets to Mike Dooley's workshop in Chicago on August 19th.

Oh, and I have to tell you about Woody from my Gemstones Law of Attraction class, she has launched a fabulous new business for stylin, hip, female college students. http://woodhousecollection.com/

I went to see and hear Larisa Stow in Palm Springs. Wow. Wow. Wow. I'm in Love! You can buy her CD online, and definitely see her in person if you can. There are easy links from my site on the Calendar of Events page.

Summer is close. The cherries have been delicious.

I love taking baths on Sunday mornings. And eating steamed vegies for all my meals.

A quick meal.

Some days I don't feel like eating a lot for lunch, and today was one of those days. I was feeling a little pms-ey chilly too.

Luckily I had asparagus on hand, and I always have Almond Milk in the pantry. So today's lunch was a simply delicious Asparagus Soup.

Steam 1 bunch of asparagus. Blend with almond milk, add salt, white pepper, and 6 Taste Churna. Reheat and Enjoy! Add a sweet lassi, and this was heavenly.
