Hi, my name is Sylvia and this blog is for folks interested in food (plant centered nutrition), cooking, health and fitness.  I hope you share my curiosity for new ideas and better methods for maximizing the enjoyment of life. It seems everyday I find something that makes me say, ‘Wow. That’s brilliant’ or ‘why didn’t I think of that?’ Those ah-ha moments and my experiences are what I offer to you. Other folks are inspiring and I hope to pay some of the wisdom forward and add to it. Life is a journey and one made better by the sharing.

So maybe you’re wondering who I am? A homeschooling mother, wife, passionate cook and food scientist, nurse practitioner, certified fitness coach and gardener, for starters.  A lifelong learner and autodidact I hope. I help my patients to integrate a healthy lifestyle into their days so they need to see the doctor less. My goal is to promote education as your apple a day and make it fun 🙂

As with anything, your mileage may vary. This blog will share what works for me, but each person is unique. The information here is not meant to take the place of advice from your health care team. Discuss your situation with providers that know you personally but always keep growing and learning. You are the only expert in you.
