    Thanksgiving Menu 2011 :: Napa Valley

    We're in Napa Valley once again, staying at our favorite spot: with our wonderful friends! The Staglins not only are amazing people, who live on a beautiful property, but they produce fabulous wine! Not sure if you already have, but I suggest you familiarize yourself with it {wink}. 

    Sober for the past 2 days - YES, we are in Napa and yes, we are crazy - we are so excited today to be here and sip a few chardonnays and cabernets. 

    Most importantly, I'm SO happy to just be here. Free of the stresses of home life. I'm ready {that sounds funny} to be extra thankful this week and spend some quality time with my kids. If you didn't already know, I spend most of ALL of each and every day with my boys {minus a few hours a week}. But I am not always as present as I should be. And I'm often busy with everyday life and work. 

    So, not only am I so FREAKIN' stoked to be here cooking up a storm, shopping at the gourmet stores, eating at Farm-To-Table restaurants, drinking the BEST wine on the planet, but I'm so excited to have 8 whole days of boy/kid oriented hikes, play dates, parks, toys, shows, and all that good stuff. 

    If you're interested, here's a peek into our Thanksgiving Menu {note: I am the ONLY veg one here, minus my kiddos}. 

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!   be thankful!

      That sounds delicious! I miss Napa....and the rest of Northern California for that matter! Maybe next year you can have a Thanksgiving contest-the winner gets treated to you coming to New Jersey and re-creating this great meal for them! LOL!!Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family! Thank you for always being a source of inspiration for me!!

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
