Hi guys! Christine here, checking in for your weekly dessert fix! As you may know by now, I love a good baking challenge. So when Matt did a review of some flaxseed from Flaxmatters.com and left a subtle hint for me to come up with a new flax recipe, I was totally in! To be…

Procrastination. It sucks. Destroyer of dreams and goals, and responsible for hundreds of billions of deaths each year in the United States alone. Worse, it has prevented me from sprouting beans and seeds for the past six months. When I first read Brendan Brazier's Thrive while on vacation last summer, I couldn't wait to get…

Morning! I've been posting a lot in the afternoons/evenings recently, and I forgot how nice it feels to post in the morning. I have a new recipe to share today; my mom and sister came over last night so I made dinner for everyone. You can thank my friend (and NMA-reader since day 1) Pete…

Flaxmatters.com flaxseed In my house, we go through a lot of flaxseed. For years, I've been adding flaxseed oil to my smoothies to get the benefits of the healthy fats and omega-3's, but only recently have I realized how much more I like it in its whole-food form. While flaxseed oil has a pretty nasty…

Happy Sweet-Tooth Friday everybody! It's Christine and I am totally psyched to be back—I took a small break with the last two Friday's falling on Christmas and New Year's Day. I had a lovely holiday but now that the hustle and bustle is through I am ready to get crackin' on 2010! A couple things…

One of the common things people say to me, when we're talking about being vegetarian, goes like this: "I think I could probably be vegetarian, but the problem is that my wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/kid eats meat like a fiend, so it would never work." If this is you, I implore you just to try it. If you…
An inspirational quote from The Office's Michael Scott: When I retire, I don’t want to just move to some island somewhere. I want to be the guy who gives it all back. I want it to be like: ‘Hey… who donated that hospital wing that’s saving so many lives?’ ‘I don’t know. It was anonymous.’…

It wasn't pretty, but I made it. Five hours and thirty-four minutes after I started, in temperatures that never got out of the twenties and fierce winds that numbed my face at times, I crossed the finish line of my first trail race, the PHUNT 50K, and officially became an ultramarathoner. The group I run…
Happy New Year! Hope things didn't get so crazy on New Year's Eve that you couldn't enjoy what is, in my humble opinion, the most inspiring day of the year. I kicked back a few strong stouts (like 8.5-12.5% alcohol), courtesy of my sister, but I started this morning with some apple/pear/carrot/ginger/beet/orange juice from our…
