The benefits of ginger have been well-documented. It can reduce inflammation, improve brain function, and even has cancer-fighting properties. Considering all of this, it’s no surprise ginger is considered one of the most highly-touted superfoods. But how do you get this superfood into your body on a more frequent basis? For many of us, it’s… Continue reading Benefits of Ginger | The Ginger People

Dine Downtown Sacramento
The three words “Dine Downtown Sacramento” instantly makes me happy. This annual event is hosted by the Downtown Sacramento Partnership and spans across ten days. During this time, more than 30 restaurants in the downtown/midtown Sacramento area offer amazing 3-course meals for just $35 a person. Now that is hard to beat. This year’s Dine… Continue reading Dine Downtown Sacramento
Sun and Soil Juice Cleanse
Over the years, I’ve tried a few juice cleanses. I don’t look to them for permanent weight loss or to slim down for an event. But I have found a good juice cleanse can reset my hunger levels, reduce bloat, and reenergize me. And recently I found a cleanse by a local Sacramento company that did… Continue reading Sun and Soil Juice Cleanse
Relationship With Food
My relationship with food has had its ups and down. Over the years, I’ve been obsessed with eating AND obsessed with not eating. I’ve felt guilty about eating the things I really love while also being bored with most of the things I know I should eat. And for some reason, I’ve worried about going hungry more than is reasonable… Continue reading Relationship With Food
Food Literacy Center
As the saying goes, you are what you eat. But how you feel about food – particularly veggies – can impact how many you eat (or how few). Like many people, my relationship with veggies has had its ups and downs. As a kid, I was pretty neutral. In college, I only ate them when… Continue reading Food Literacy Center

His feedback for the longest time was that it’s just not good plain. That led me to come up with… Continue reading Quinoa Wrap Recipe
Matcha Now
When it comes to beverages, I’m pretty much a purist. I don’t like to drink my calories, so I pass on the sugary drinks. And on the other side of the coin, I avoid things like diet soda because it makes me breakout. This leaves me with a very small universe of things to quench… Continue reading Matcha Now
Low Sodium Turkey Tacos
Who loves tacos? And who hates that bloated and swollen feeling after a super salty Mexican meal? If you’re like me, you answered yes to both of these questions. Thankfully, I’ve figured out that if I make my own taco seasoning, versus using one that comes in a packet, I’m able to cut… Continue reading Low Sodium Turkey Tacos
Shrimp, Eggplant, and Quinoa
It’s heating up here in Sacramento. That means longer days and hotter temps. It also means the farmers’ markets are filled with veggies and summer fruit. And while I love filling my basket with fresh produce and other treats, I have to get a little more creative about how I’m going to cook them before they go… Continue reading Shrimp, Eggplant, and Quinoa
sweet potato recipe
If you saw all the food I bring to work on a daily basis I swear you’d think I was staying for the week. But in reality, it’s just for one day. And there is no potluck- it’s all for me. That’s because I eat a lot of small snacks throughout the day. On any… Continue reading sweet potato recipe
