What does a Yogini cook and eat? Why, the foods she loves, of course.What foods does a Yogini love?

Breaking Bread ~ Parfait-asana

Berries, dairy, crystal. 🍓🐮💎

Breaking bread is a daily form of modeling universal respect and zest for life.

Chocolate pots all around.

Greek salad is pretty in pink and green. 

Just add granola: substantial Greek yogurt and berry dessert to prevent late-night snacking.

After dropping the girls off at violin lessons this afternoon, I took the boys to the new North Boulder Library and parked right in front of an apartment that we lived in for two years. It has been exactly a decade since the one toddler days we spent there, but, as I did then, I still have a three year old. Patrick’s comportment at the coffee shop and playground nearby was so similar to Goldie’s ten years back that I came home exhausted from the surreal experience. I was badass then, and I’m badass now, but different…
