Checking In... Still Settling. (Saturday 1/22/11)
Well, it's been nearly two weeks since I arrived back on Kauai but i"m still living in a bit of a "vacation mode"... too much food, too many drinks, too much sugar, too much caffeine, eating too late at night... too much, too much! (Toomba jasti!!!) This is all fine and fun for a short while, but now I feel it's starting to catch up with me and I'm ready to get back on a little more of a routine with fresh, clean food and early dinners. In all honesty, though, my moon is coming so I know that generally leads to more of what I've been doing while I take rest from practice for a few days...
We'll see what happens. It's all good :) Peace and love and let's eat!

Dinner (1/21/11 7:58 PM)
Organic TOAST with organic avocado, raw organic pumpkin seeds, fresh organic cilantro, fresh organic lemon and sea salt... And a glass of red wine. Eating late again but at least it's Friday so I'm not on the mat in the morning.
Snack (1/21/11 2:26 PM)
ALO ALLURE drink... Aloe juice, aloe pulp, mango juice, mangosteen... And loads of cane sugar. The aloe wheatgrass kind is my favorite!
Lunch (1/21/11 11:00 AM)
PIZZA N AVOCADO with some lemon and cilantro. Yes, I know this leftover vegan pizza has pretty much zero nutritional value. No, I cannot resist it.

Dinner (1/20/11 6:25 PM)
Vegan PIZZA... Yep, it's Friday again already... oh no, wait, it’s only Thursday...!?! I've ALWAYS had a pizza addiction ;-)

Lunch (1/19/11 1:36 PM)
Leftover ADZUKI DAAL with organic brown basmati rice and a fresh avocado from my yard sprinkled with lemon juice and cilantro... And a beautiful sunny afternoon to sit outside and quietly enjoy it :) 
Moon Day Morning Treat (1/19/11 11:47 AM)
Happy Full Moon Day! In Ashtanga Yoga tradition we take holiday on the full and new moon, which means no morning yoga practice. As a yoga teacher, it also means this morning is one of only 2 mornings each month where I don’t practice or teach, so it’s a full rest day. Ahhhh!!! Slept late then spent the morning sipping coffee and experimenting with creating some vegan chocolate banana bread... click the "RECIPES" tab (above) if you’d like to try some.
Good Morning (Barely Morning Anymore!!!) (1/19/11 11:36 AM)
Cup of local organic Kauai COFFEE with vanilla hemp milk and organic raw cane sugar, and a slice of locally made organic roasted garlic bread TOAST with Earth Balance and sea salt. 
Dinner (1/18/11 8:45 PM)
INDIAN DINNER: Adzuki Daal, Basmati Rice, and Green Bean Tomato Ginger Curry... Sooooooooooo good! A perfect "night before the full moon" indulgence. Check the "RECIPES" tab (above) if you'd like to make the daal!
Snack (1/18/11 5:17 PM)
CHAI with vanilla soymilk and some peanut butter filled whole wheat PRETZELS :)
Lunch (1/18/11 11:48 AM)

Vegan Boca Burger WRAP with raw kale, avocado, olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, hemp seeds and chia seeds on a spinach whole wheat tortilla. 
No Dinner (1/16/11 6:02 PM)
Still full from a late lunch and heading out to see physicist Nassim Haramein (www.theresonanceproject.org/personnel.html) speak on his Unified Field Theory tonight, so I just have some CHAI with Organic Vanilla Soymilk to keep me awake and alert while I learn all kinds of fun new stuff!
Lunch (1/16/11 2:27 PM)
One of the last BIG WAVEs... And I think to myself, "You don't have to drink it just because it's there..." and then I think "we're definitely NOT keeping beer in the fridge anymore" and then I drink it anyway. Hmmm.
Lunch (1/16/11 2:28 PM)
WRAP SANDWICH: organic whole wheat and spinach tortilla wrap filled with warm brown rice, fresh torn kale, cherry tomatoes from my yard, lots of raw sprouted beans and lentils, parsley, hemp seeds, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, a dash of fresh local homemade hot sauce and fresh lemon juice (also from my yard!) with a side of fresh, local, organic GUACAMOLE & CHIPS (some kind of strange "Doritoes" style seasoned corn chips with minimal ingredients listed on the label but it still feels somehow taboo to eat (vegan) Doritoes...) But overall it's a pretty nice lunch :)
Breakfast (1/16/11 12:12 PM)
After a late and long Sunday morning practice (no teaching today), COCO WATER and some RAW ALMOND BUTTER with a spoon!
Good SUNNY WARM Morning! (1/16/11 9:00 AM)
This morning is the first time in a while it feels warm and sunny enough to have my morning tea outside... without a sweatshirt or hat! So I hang for a while before practice and soak up the sun with a
VEGA drink and some ACAI GREEN TEA.

Dinner (1/15/11 8:26 PM)
Fresh mustard greens, sprouted lentils and tofu... Simmered in coconut oil and miso/water with sea salt, red pepper flakes, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and sprinkled with gomasio. Served over short grain brown rice.
Lunch (1/15/11 1:18 PM)
Vegan BOCA BURGER topped with fresh tomato slices and soy "blue cheese"... toasted whole wheat English muffin with olive oil... fresh local organic arugula tossed with a simple homemade vinaigrette (extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, grated garlic, sea salt and black pepper)... Yummy!!! :-)
Lunch (1/15/11 1:20 PM)
Iced TULSI TEA... Delicious, refreshing and caffeine-free. I like to brew a big jug and keep it in the fridge a few days (if it lasts that long!)
Breakfast (1/15/11 9:58 AM)
Leftover homemade BANANA BREAD on the way to the Hanalei Farmers Market.
Good Morning! (1/15/11 6:40 AM)
Organic Java Juice COFFEE extract mixed with vanilla Silk soymilk... Just shake and enjoy. Caffeine in a pinch when the gas stove goes out... But surprisingly delicious! 
Dinner (1/14/11 5:31 PM)
Homemade VEGAN PIZZA: believe it or not, these 3 items plus some olive oil and fresh basil make a mean (and easy) vegan pie! The only problem is it's impossible to stock the ingredients in the house to have pizza on a future date... Once the stuff comes home, pizza always wins out over any other option!
Snack (1/14/11 3:20 PM)
BEER. Local (well, fairly local... From the big island) and delicious after a hot and sunny Friday afternoon at the beach :)
Lunch (1/14/11 11:06 AM)
POTATO KALE WRAP: leftover garlic-parsley potatoes sauteed with fresh local organic kale, onions, and black bean & corn salsa, piled into a whole wheat-spinach tortilla with hummus, hemp seeds, chia seeds, and hot sauce... Looks like the lucky recipient approves!
Breakfast (1/14/11 7:10 AM)
COFFEE: local, organic, french pressed and mixed with some vanilla Silk soymilk. Sprouted wheatberry TOAST spread with raw cashew butter. Fuel to charge up for a busy Friday morning mysore!
Dinner (1/13/11 7:04 PM)
PINEAPPLE SMOOTHIE: fresh local organic pineapple blended with vanilla Silk soymilk.
Dinner (1/13/11 7:02 PM)
Homemade VEGAN BANANA BREAD: fresh local organic bananas (just picked 'em from my backyard!), organic vanilla bean, vanilla Silk soymilk, barley flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, raw sugar and sea salt... Fresh out of the oven and spread with Earth Balance... Mmmmmmmmm :)
Dinner (1/13/11 5:46 PM)
Cold leftover pasta NOODLES with olive oil, sea salt, red pepper flakes, and nutritional yeast topping with brazil nuts and herbs... Just a little snack while the "real dinner" is baking in the oven!
