When is it Time to Trash Your Principles?
Discernment of Principle. When is it time to trash your principles? There was a scene in a popular Hollywood movie a couple years back, where a central figure was asked to reject his beliefs in order to spare his life. A life that he had dedicated to those beliefs. To the dismay of many watchers…
Tacos Al Pastor
During my earlier trips to Mexico – prior to going vegan that it is – my favorite dish was Tacos Al Pastor. If you’ve never had it, it’s the Mexican equivalent of Hawaiian pizza, taco style. Now if you’re one of those people who think pineapple has no place on your dinner plate this dish…
Coconut Nectarine Pops
The temperatures are rising, and no, its not raining men. But, if you’re anything like me, cold treats are welcome anytime of the day. Ice cream for breakfast? Don’t mind if I do… Sure, a smoothie would be healthier, but when it’s this hot, does it really matter? Well, I guess it does, otherwise I…
DIY Cold Brew

Spring is in the air. The trees are budding, the grass is beginning to turn a lush shade of green and there is a warmth in the air. Before we know it’ll be summer and time for backyard BBQs and patio parties. During the summer months I enjoy recipes with a light, and fresh air…

How to Say No. Part 1 [VIDEO]
How to Say No – Part 1 The idea of saying no is such a hard topic for so many of us. Yet when you think about it, it’s something so incredibly simple. Just two simple little letters. One of the first words we learn to speak. So how is it that we have such…

Sacred Trinity, Social Expectations, and Masculinity [VIDEO]
This video has been a long time coming. I first had this conversation with my friend Luisa as we were walking the streets of New York City last March. It’s resurfaced a few times over the past year, but this is the first time I formalize and diffuse it. Now this idea isn’t my…
