My husband isn’t vegan. He’s happy to eat plant-based with me most of the time, but he enjoys a more flexitarian diet. So, when I’m searching for restaurants, I don’t limit my inquiry to vegan-only spots. How do I find the best plant-based meals? I check out menus and, when necessary, contact the chefs directly….
Grandparenting from afar isn’t for the faint of heart—we are trying to juggle our across-the-state family bonds with visits and FaceTime magic. This past weekend we made the six hour trek from the Bay Area back down to SoCal for our granddaughter’s 2nd birthday (yes, 2nd trip in three weeks!). Balancing our work schedules with…
Insights from my weekend at the International Plant-Based Nutrition Healthcare Conference in September 2024, Anaheim, California. I recently attended this conference hosted by the Plantrician Project. My first time attending in 2019 was a life-changing experience. Held in Oakland, California, it was local and cheaper for me (I lodged at home and took BART) ….
A sport to stay healthy and fit in our 60’s and beyond. SUP in Your 60’s The stars aligned on a Sunday morning in August and the wind was less than 5 mph in Sausalito during the early hours. No traffic on an early weekend morning made for a short 45 minute commute to Seatrek. …

Fine dining at the only vegan restaurant with THREE Michelin stars My recent trip to New York culminated in a long-awaited visit to Eleven Madison Park. Please know that I am not a professional restaurant critic. But, as a vegan food and restaurant enthusiast, I’ve dreamed of dining here since 2021 when I heard that…
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,…
Today I am traveling from San Francisco to New York (SFO to JFK). I left my house in the morning and won’t arrive at my final destination until later tonight. I decided to use today to do a Prolon Reset, especially because I am traveling alone and have no plans to share meals with anyone….
Taking a cruise to Alaska was always on my travel bucket list. When our friends asked us to join them on a sailing expedition from Juneau through Glacier Bay National Park, we barked out YES! before they could even finish the question. Highlights from our sailing expedition We started our journey from San Francisco to…
We spent a June weekend in Juneau before embarking on a 10 day sailing excursion through Glacier Bay. In this post I’m sharing some highlights of our activities, and of course my vegan meals with my non-vegan group! The two main sites we planned to visit were Mendenhall Glacier and Mount Roberts. We didn’t need…
