for the win! Both at MSP and DTW these vending machines had surprisingly fresh, delicious and affordable salads. You can recycle the jars in the machines too. They are definitely a go to if I ever see them at an airport in the future!

Brown Rice Congee with greens, sauerkraut, sardines, fish floss, and cashews.
Paul and I both have busy weeks, and we needed some basics that we could add from our pantry. Congee is always a comfort food for me, and once you make it, almost everything else you have in your pantry.
Instant Pot Recipe
1 cup uncooked short grain brown rice
6 cups liquid (water or broth)
Few pinches of salt.
Pressure cook high for one hour. I like my congee pretty thick, so make some and experiment with different cooking times until you find your preference!
Toppings: sardines, fried eggs, sauerkraut or picked veggies, a quick cooking green (like spinach or Bok Choy), pork or fish floss, peanuts or cashews.
Enjoy!

The more real food I eat for breakfast the better I feel. Sometimes I grab bars or pick up breakfast sandwiches when I feel in a hurry, but I forget that a simple breakfast can often take minutes to make: Here we have leftover cranberry beans, leftover sausage, scrambled egg and cilantro. Scramble the egg in a small plan, remove, and heat up sausage and beans in the same pan. Add cilantro. 5 min prep and 10 minute mindful eating and I’m ready to start my day. What’s your easy quick breakfast?

What’s a snack? One of the biggest things that my clients ask me about are suggestions for healthy snacks. Instead of reaching for a bar or a bag of something, my clients and I work on cooking a little extra protein for dinner so that they have something in the fridge that’s blood sugar friendly, and will keep you going until you have space to sit down for a full meal.
You don’t have to be the cook of everything either. The Bay Area has a ton of options for prepared foods…. The trick is to have the fridge stocked!
I’m a big big fan of . Order a bunch of stuff to stockpile in your freezer! Thanks for changing my life :)

I sometimes forget about the veggie side to my breakfast and why NOT? It can be a shift in mindset, but veggies for breakfast are a way we can increase our antioxidant intake and our fiber intake…. More scavenging of free radicals, more feeding of beneficial bacteria, easier bowel movements…. The list goes on and on.
A quick sauté does the trick!
Join me in adding a few more vegetables this week!

This was the group of women that traveled from the Bay to witness the amazing receive her title of Mestra.
Each one of these women inspires me. They are fierce players in capoeira and in life. They reflect, they speak their minds, they hold space for others. Courageous comes to mind. I learn from them…..watching from afar, in conversation, and in the Roda.
Thank you Mestra Tigresa for holding the space for us to gather, and to be able to celebrate you. You reflect and model for us what it means to be a woman in capoeira.

This heat wave is making me want salads! My current ingredient obsessions:
Sprouts: went to Sundays Claremont market and got salad sprouts from
Meyer lemon vinaigrette: 1 part Meyer lemon, 4 parts EVOO, 1 tsp honey, 1/2 teaspoon mustard, touch of salt. Dissolve honey in 1 T of warm water. Add everything else and shake!
Cara Cara Oranges: wow these are sweet and go really well in a big salad!
Carrots: carrots are amazing at the farmers markets right now in the Bay. These are from .
Definitely adding different proteins to keep me full! Here is some steak from . Good options are canned fish, hard boiled eggs, or grilled chicken!
What do you put in your salad?

Let’s make our 2022 goals nourishing. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels a little less healthy from visiting family. The capacity to take care of ourselves is never a straight line, but spiraling. We can come back to deeper self care and we already know the smallest things that make the most difference. Drink more water. Eat more vegetables. Move your body. Let’s listen and also be patient with our bodies. They will respond over time. Happy 2022 everyone!

Capoeira is meant to be played in community, and my goodness I’ve missed this these last two years. Thank you for keeping me on my toes! The best part is I could barely keep up and he thought it was a pretty medium paced game :).
Thank you and for sharing your experience and leading our students and the whole Bay Area capo community through a great night and Roda! We can’t wait to have you back.
Thrilled that we were also able to use the iconic space at the Berkeley Capoeira Collective. What a beautiful space for the capoeira community.
Finally, thank you for those that came out to support the workshop, we were thrilled and grateful for your presence.

Proud to get my booster today.
I believe in the power of vaccines to mitigate deadly diseases. I believe in the power of nutrition, of getting exercise, of de-stressing, in the power of a good night’s sleep. I believe that socio-economic status and race are determinants in health and disease. I believe that access to resources is not equal. I believe that Covid 19 disproportionately affects people who are older and of poor health.
I’ve been taken aback that some in the wellness community have veered off to push against vaccines and masks. I even agree with some of the arguments out there: that pharmaceutical companies are absolutely making bank, and that the focus shouldn’t just be on vaccines but on how to create a healthier society. Yes to all of that. But the thinking that you will probably (maybe?) be ok because you are healthy, does not take into consideration that there are vulnerable people among our loved ones. That 99% survival rate that you hear of is not equal amongst all demographics.
I wouldn’t be in the line of work I’m in if I didn’t think our health care system needs a dramatic overhaul. But there are absolutely ways in which allopathic and alternative medicines can join hands to both prevent and reduce the effects of disease.
According to the Covid-19.acgov.org, as of 11/2/21, the county I live in, Alameda (which encompasses Berkeley and Oakland), has an 89.7% vaccination rate for folks older than the age of 12. As of 10/26 we have a positivity rate of 1.3%.
On 10/25/21, the case rate per 100,000 was 3.6 in vaccinated folks and 10.3 among unvaccinated. During the last peak, on Aug 6th, those rates were 15.1 among vaccinated and 52.7 among unvaccinated. Those are pretty clear numbers. The vaccines work in slowing the spread of Covid-19.
I have dear friends who will not get this vaccine, and I’m astounded by how each side is firmly entrenched in their beliefs around this issue. I also know that we are influenced by those around us, and thus, I’m sharing my thoughts here.
