Juicing can be a great way to introduce your body to high-quality nutrients, but only if done right. First, start by selecting the best produce you can find at a local farmers market or your neighborhood supermarket. Try not to juice too many fruits, as the goal is to make a healthy juice, not a sugary beverage. Below is a green juice recipe I developed and make regularly; I hope…
In the heart of downtown Winter Park, there is a health-conscious eatery named New General Cafe. There are countless cafes all over Orlando that craft their own beverages, but when it comes to the food, forget it. Most cafes end up outsourcing their food options, and that’s no good. I would much rather dine at a cafe where the food is made from scratch; that is a place I don’t…
When I was growing up, mental health was not a topic on the table. People simply thought that when someone was acting weird or, quote-unquote, not normal, they were, point-blank, crazy. When someone needed help or showed signs of being a little off, I most often heard people say, “Go to church and ask the pastor for help.” Which is not all a bad idea, at least at the time,…
I’ll admit it: Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday. I love everything about it from the gorgeous palette of reds and pinks, the heart-shaped boxes of candy, to the collective permission to express love openly and abundantly. But somewhere along the way, our culture has narrowed the definition of this beautiful holiday, insisting that it’s exclusively for romantic couples. Valentine’s Day arrives each February wrapped in red hearts and romantic…
There was a moment in time when small grocers was the norm carrying life’s most precious food necessities before the invention of big box supermarkets that occupy a ton of real estate nationwide, but lately there is a new trend that is on the rise. A good taste of nostalgia with small grocers opening up stocking only the best sustainable small batch food products health conscious consumers will go nuts…
Breathing Space I’ve always enjoyed the company of others. Time well spent with people who are dear to me is one of life’s best treasures. One thing I discovered a few years ago is the precious minutes spent alone, enjoying myself, connecting with my inner self; it’s what I like to call breathing space. There was a time in my life when I thought life was always supposed to be…
The excitement of the summer season has arrived, and so has iced tea season. It is the time of the year when everyone is hosting backyard BBQs and other fun social occasions. Food and drinks are the star items at every party or gathering. The heat here in Florida has been on the rise, and I have also been looking for new beverages to keep me cool. While on the…
There are so many olive oils on the market when you walk into your local grocery store. It’s funny because they all state different things on the front of the bottle. Words like pure and authentic mean nothing when you are sifting through the massive sum of olive oil bottles in the supermarket. There was a time when the only term we looked for as consumers was extra-virgin, but not anymore. The food industry…
Summer has arrived, but don’t give up on your herbs. There are plenty of ways to enjoy them all summer long and beyond. Springtime here in Florida has always been good for the garden, but as summer approaches, the heat can be hard on it, especially the herbs. Woody herbs such as thyme, sage, rosemary, and tarragon are heat-tolerant, so they are pretty much safe, but leafy herbs like dill…
If there was one term to describe this wonderful nightclub, I knew as Pulse would be euphoric. There was just never a dull moment in this place. Everyone was just so pleasant and joyful. I knew the moment I walked in it was going to be a good time. Pulse was deeply rooted in the community, and it didn’t matter whether you were gay or straight. People just flocked to…
