    Friday Favorites with Dr Christine

    Today integrative health care specialist and medical journalist, Christine Dionese, is sharing her FRIDAY FAVORITES. Like all of us, she's been super busy but still trying to maintain her healthy habits. Read about her lovely day! HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYBODY!

    This is the face of one happy girl. All week I’ve been looking forward to my home away from home, overnight trip to LA today. Upon arriving, this is the familiar face I’ll get to see, but first I’m going to stop by here to start the trip off with one of my fave Chinese herbally inspired beverages. Then it’s time to catch up with this energetically gifted gal and I’m rejuvenation bound!

    It’s been an eclectic and satisfying roundup of finishing work, writing and homey projects this past week. I just stopped at this world-famous oasis in Juli’s hood to show my gratitude for all of the career and personal bliss that’s recently come along. And, this bliss is “catchy” because my patients have been calling to tell me how awesome they’re feeling! If you want to get inspired, check out this family I’m really happy for!

    Call Me Suzie Homemaker: Home & Garden Has Been My Life This Week...

    This week I made the rounds in San Diego to visit Garden Eats’ clients. Being in the sun so much reminded me how important my summer skin care routine is. My rules for products? If I can eat it, then it’s safe for my skin! I’ve been spraying these on my face and even here too! I keep mine in the fridge for a cool, post-workout mist as well! If you haven’t tried them, get them all, you’ll be so happy!

    While seeing Garden Eats clients I stopped at the best organic nursery for supplies. On their two-acres of farm expanse, they grow and maintain every plant organically- even their decorative plants! You’ll be so surprised when you find out where it is too! Modular gardens are my thing this year, so I now have these eco-friendly guys ready to go with these little gems.

    I have a new baby and a new house and I work from home, so decorating and organizing is ever-shifting and tricky. Inspired by this new life in the local community, I’m finally installing a living feature I’ve been wanting to for a while now. One of my sweet and talented friends is the “chief garden ho and bossy boss” of this really lush firm. Right now, I’m picking out greenery to create one of these beauties on the dining room wall.

    Amid the busy busy, I vowed to open the pages of my favorite design periodical this week (although I’m constantly declaring to reduce the paper in my life, I’m having trouble alternating to the digital edition only). If you’ve visited my Instagram, you’ve noticed that I love living in the “kid” world- I’m fascinated with designer toys and stuff like this. Since my little gal’s first birthday is nearing, I decided this eco-conscious play-thing would be fun and when we’re done with it, we can break it down to compost. And, we’re a family of gardeners, I couldn’t resist the yellow rain boot!

    I just told Juli that I want to blow the guests away by serving gluten-free, divine, healthy desserts at the birthday party. After her birthday, we’re off to take a trip to the Flatirons and to visit family in Boulder, Colorado. When we get back, I’ll share all of the enviro-friendly experiences the mountain city has to offer and what unexpected adventures lie ahead today in La la land!  

    Happy sun-kissed weekend! Hugs Christine

    Welcome to my 20-year plant-based journey.

    Join me on this journey; I'm here to serve and help.

    I trust the science that backs it. More about me →

    Move over eggs. This tofu scramble is comin’ in hot! 🍳
Just 5 minutes and you’ve got breakfast. So often I get asked for breakfast ideas when transitioning to a plant based diet. This is a great egg sub and is savory and high in healthy protein. 
1 cube medium hard tofu 
1 tsp turmeric 
Salt and pepper to taste. 
1/2 Tbsp olive oil or other cooking oil 
In a frying pan sauté on medium high heat for 5 minutes. Stirring often. Add garlic or onions or cheese. I added spinach to mine. 😋

    Let’s get real : Succeeding at anything takes discipline. Even manifesting takes discipline. Often clients say that they tried this diet or that diet. And they can’t seem to reach their health goals or heal or lose weight. And every time we take a deep look it’s because there really isn’t the discipline they think there is! The same way a fish doesn’t see water we have a hard time recognizing our own self sabotaging habits and patterns. 
I’m not talking about restriction or lack or counting calories or counting fat grams. That’s old-school. Don’t confuse discipline with restriction.
P.S. this my first attempt at trying out trending audios😜🤷‍♀️

    Damn this combo of garlic, ginger and tahini over sautéed potatoes is 💣. I love tahini dressing because of how creamy it gets without using cashews or dairy products. I first sautéed the potatoes in vegan butter. I added a few shallots for fun. THAT’S IT. If you cut them thin enough they cook in just 5-6 minutes on medium high heat. I added raw kale to them for added fiber and minerals. 
Dressing 
2 cloves garlic
1/4 inch piece of fresh ginger
1 whole lemon
2-3 Tbsp sesame oil, 
1 heaping Tbsp tahini
2 Tbsp water
big pinch sea salt. 
blend it all together until creamy and chunk-free. 
Enjoy

    LISTEN 👂I wish somebody shared this wisdom with
    LISTEN 👂I wish somebody shared this wisdom with me when I was younger. 
I used to think perfection was actually THE goal in life. Literally that’s what I thought - be your best, do your best, be the nicest, get the best grades, look your best, date the best, eat the best, do no wrong, don’t argue, be happy and makes others happy, give give give…and if I didn’t accomplish those things I was very concerned. I wondered what was wrong with me and punish myself. I know…laughable right? But nobody told me otherwise🤷‍♀️ 
This is what a version of codependency looks like: perpetual state of feeling not good enough, constant state of fear or fight or flight…exhausting, defeating and eventually leads to dis-ease. A victim in almost all areas of your life: “Why is this person being awful to me, why am I sick when others are well, this isn’t fair”. 
After deep healing and self exploration, I clearly see how my ways of looking at life, my own actions (people pleasing or having no boundaries), attract the abusers, users, haters, broken people; I attracted people to treat me poorly. 
So, this is what is meant by “taking accountability” for your life and understanding why certain things are happening “to you”. 
Not everybody is supposed to like you or agree with you or UNDERSTAND YOU. But taking it PERSONAL (becoming a victim) is your choice. Being Treated with complete disrespect is THEIR choice. Playing IN THE game of TOXICITY however is also your choice.
Freedom is attainable. Healing is attainable. Harmony and peace are attainable. It just requires radical self awareness. Today I choose to break the rules that were never there to begin with.

    🍌🍌🍌As you can see I have been on a crepes binge lately!This time I’m making sweet crepes. Need to use up your overly ripe bananas? This is the recipe for you! 
Batter
2 ripe bananas
1 1/2 c gf flour
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 cup water 
Blend on high until batter is creamy and smooth. Pour batter onto bubbling hot greased frying pan. Make sure the batter is thinly spread. Let that cook well. Flip when ready. Flip another couple times and repeat. 
Add filling of our choice. I used chocolate chips and maple syrup. 
Delicious and healthy! What will you put inside your crepes?
