We have been so indoctrinated, trained, and programmed to see the world a certain way, to think a certain way, to behave in a certain way to the point where we are on automatic pilot: We see things, think things...

  Like Dr. Oz, Men's Health is in the entertainment business. So why am I reading it? Because it's my responsibility as an author and a blogger to know what's going on out there. So I subscribed about two years ago and...

Despite what is happening to us in our external environment that seems out of our control, we have a choice as to our internal environment. Despite external chaos, we can fill our mind and our heart with joy and serenity....

Desserts are an indulgence I allow myself more than occasionally, and they are my one true weakness. So when I finally became the proud owner of a copy of Hannah Kaminsky's My Sweet Vegan I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into...

Some of you have been wondering where the frak we've been, and it's justified. I mean, seriously, it's been a week and we've been completely and unforgivably MIA. It really is a fair question to ask of bloggers who...

Everything is Love or a Call For Love. When we appreciate this Truth and integrate it into our moment to moment consciousness, when people say hurtful and unloving things to us, we don't see the attack. We see someone...

 You can see 82 color photos of many of the recipes in my new book, World Vegan Feast, in this photo album.      **1st amazon review!** UPDATE ON MY NEW BOOK: I'm so stunned by the response to my new book, "World...

There are a few topics in our culture that get people mightily defensive about – religion, politics, and food.  Tell someone that we should/shouldn’t scrap the welfare system, and tempers will fly!  Suggest that there is/isn’t a god, and veins...

Have you tasted ajwain? Also known as carom seed, this lovely little grayish-green seed is closely related to thyme and cumin. It has a very fragrant aroma, which comes alive when cooked, and it is generally used in small quantities...
