Well, it’s been quite a past couple weeks, huh? No recipes or menu plans this week. I’m dealing with the events of the past 2 weeks through my writing. I’ve been honored to hear from others that they share my views and think that I articulated them in an accurate and compassionate way. I only …

Best Ever Lasagna! Vegan, Gluten-Free, Easy, Healthy. No Fake Cheese!
I made this dish last week for a Succos lunch. One of my guests, a friend’s daughter, is wheat-free and hates vegetables. I was sure this recipe would be my best bet. However, even I was surprised and thrilled when she and my other meat-loving guests couldn’t get enough of it (The vegetarians loved it too!). This lasagna was such a hit, I could have easily made two pans. My friend asked for the recipe so she could make it for her kids. I did teasingly say, “Buy the book.” Of course I was just kidding. I wouldn’t dream of making her – or you – wait!

We think that tons of sweets and big meals will make us happy, but in the end they don’t…not in a physical or mental way.
The last few days I’ve noticed that the wind is picking up and each time the wind blows, leaves are raining down on the street. It may be September 4, but it is still summer and we’re enjoying the last days of its bounty. With this bounty, my daughter invented an incredible dessert! Frozen Watermelon Cupcakes!
10 Lessons Learned, Days 1-5 of 15 Day Reboot with Joe
plus pictures!
Today was Day 1 of my 15 Day Reboot, 1 of several plans on www.rebootwithjoe.com. As I wrote in my Cleanse 101 post, I’ve decided to do the Reboot using my Vitamix and not a juicer. According to the Reboot FAQ’s this is just fine. Read more of the Cleanse 101 post to see the difference between blending and juicing.
Vitamix Cleanse! Who wants to Reboot with me?
To Cleanse or not to Cleanse?
If you cleanse, to Eat Food or not to Eat Food?
Detoxing and Cleansing are everywhere. Juice bars are the new cupcake stores and we’re all shelling out $11 for a jar of juice like we used to pay $6 for a coffee drink. Instead of food deliveries, we’re ordering juice deliveries to our homes.
