I spent the last 9 days of my 2024 summer break in New York City. On my “solo” trip, I explored vegan restaurants and vegan eats, balanced with A LOT of walking! I love my location at my relatives’ UWS place. Travel Day 1 I chose an mid-morning American Airlines flight from SFO to JFK,…
We spent a June weekend in Juneau before embarking on a 10 day sailing excursion through Glacier Bay.

Such a shift could alleviate and even reverse the high mortality rates from heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other deadly chronic diseases that afflict this demographic. Disclaimer: I am a…
I like to share examples of meals and dishes we enjoy at home that are delicious, nutritious and easy to make. Here I integrated batch cooking for the week into my dinner preparation. Using Leftovers for Batch Cooking Tonight I made Butternut Squash Farro Risotto along with roasted Kabocha squash and steamed spinach drizzled with…
