Raw Chocolate Banana Cream Pie

September 30, 2011

When I took this pie out of the fridge, I held it out to show Nick like a five-year-old holds out their latest art creation or the frog they caught from the pond across the street. Huge grin on my face, proud as can be, but still a little bit unsure. It looked perfect, but [...]

{Back to Health} R&R: Detox Symptoms

September 29, 2011

For the first time since I can remember detoxing, I think I am experiencing some detox symptoms. Now, keep in mind I am still recovering from quite the intense cold- everyone on the boat I was on was sick last week, luckily I managed to keep away from the worst of it with lots of [...]

{Back to Health} R&R: A most relaxing day

September 28, 2011

Yesterday I devoted the day to myself. Seems funny-and a bit selfish, I suppose- seeing that I work for myself, with myself, all day long. But when I’m working I’m not necessarily taking time for myself. I spend the day trying to motivate myself to work harder, do more, make more phone calls, respond to [...]

{Back to Health} R&R: Juice Fast

September 26, 2011

Yesterday, I kicked off rest & recharge week with a 24-hour juice fast. I drank nothing but 64 ounces of pure, fresh, green juice, filtered water (with lemon & cayenne first thing) and decaf green tea all day long. Then, at 9pm when my fast was over I had a small banana “soft serve” with [...]

Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Muffins

September 26, 2011

I’m back! Really back this time, and it’s bittersweet at that. My time working on the boats this summer is nearly over, as my favorite Tall ship was sent to it’s winter anchorage this weekend, the others soon to follow. I will definitely miss my time as a Galley cook this summer, though I’m sure [...]
