Tales from the Yoga Studio | March 16, 2011

The yoga studio is where daily cares are set aside, mats are unfurled, and physical exertion leads to well-being, renewal, and friendship.

In Los Angeles, yoga teachers have become celebrities and designer tank tops can cost a small fortune.  Still, many students flock to the relatively unglamorous Edendale Yoga in the hip, out-of-the-way Silver Lake neighborhood.  It’s here where Lee uses her extraordinary teaching skills and unusual empathy to help students gain control of their bodies and possibly their lives as well.

 

Katherine, the studio’s resident masseuse, is trying hard not to sabotage what could be the perfect relationship. Graciela, is … Read More »

Asian Slaw | March 15, 2011

Since the middle of November, we’ve been working really hard to keep away from white sugar and white flour. The result is that our mostly healthy diet has gotten even healthier as we try to eat “close to the tree”.

It’s been fun to try new flavors and food combinations. We love cabbage and when I saw this recipe, I was so excited to find another way to eat this tasty, cruciferous veggie.

Start with 4 cups of shredded cabbage and a cup of shredded carrots. I did this in my food processor which makes the job a snap.

Chop an onion finely.

You might be wondering what a soap opera actress, dispatched from the land of outrageous and hilarious plots, has to say about a difficult, painful, and emotional real-life issue like aging.

Tami’s Taco Soup from Gooseberry Patch | March 14, 2011

This simple  soup full of savory Mexican flavors is  sure to be a crowd-please, and a  slow cooker makes the preparation almost effortless! For best results, use the right size  slow cooker (it should be filled about half to three-fourths full of ingredients), and don’t peek! Cooking time can increase by 15 to 20 minutes every time the lid is lifted. Toward the end of cooking time, taste and adjust seasonings. The flavor of herbs tends to grow milder the longer they cook, so you may want to add a little more.
