Super Vegan Tacos
Super vegan and super tasting that should say! These tacos got a 4 thumbs up from the Goerzen clan. And I feel like that’s saying a lot given the base is refried beans!
Throw Yourself a Lifeline: Simple Strategies that work!
These are challenging times. I don’t know about you, but as the pull of these pressures and stresses generate momentum, I can feel them pulling me down. And not in the grounded, earthy yogic way I like. More like an eddy and current swallowing me into a whirlpool. And while that might seem dramatic (it is), it’s the best metaphor I could come up with for this feeling. But here’s the good news. I’ve got 5 simple strategies you (and I) can use to throw ourselves a lifeline during this challenging time. So we can get back to solid ground (or back in the natural flow of the current).
Super Salad Bar Supper
We LOVE a salad bar supper. I've blogged about them before. We enjoy the flexibility for everyone to have what they love (and leave what they don't). What makes a salad bar supper SUPER is the fixings. It's not just greens and dressing. It's so much more. Check out...

Recipe Review: Pad Thai (Thug Kitchen)
We love pad thai. I mean, noodles. What’s not to love?! Here’s my go-to recipe. This was a nice shake up and I really enjoyed the tomato paste in the sauce. It added a nice nuance. I also loved the veggie quota in here, plus it was 100% vegan. Delish. Fresh and oh so yummy!
Grit is great, but grace is a superpower
In the very first week after the pandemic was announced, I received some less than wonderful health news. And it led to a cascade of tests and more not so wonderful news. Thankfully this past Tuesday I got good news. And the sigh of relief I felt in my body was palpable….find out why grace (not grit) is the superpower that helped me pull through.
Building Your Pandemic Resilient Health Zone (with the lens of self-compassion and kindness)
Pretty much every day one of my clients reaches out because they’re on the “struggle bus.” They’re having a hard time with this (because #newsflash THIS IS HARD!). And they are worried. Not just about the world, the health and safety of friends and family, how they’re juggling #allthethings, but how they’re “regressing” into old (unhelpful) habits like emotional eating and watching Outlander on Netflix instead of getting out for a walk or doing one of the million free workouts available online right now. They know what they should do, but…

Creating Your New Normal: Part 2 (defining your pandemic health zone)
As we settle into the realization that physical distancing (or some form of it) will very likely be our reality for at least the next few months, many of us are also trying to reconcile what that reality looks like. Whether you're working more or working less - this...
Pantry + Freezer Ramen
I’d been having a Ramen craving for a few days and since I had the noodles (the brown rice ramen from Costco), I figured, I could likely piece together a ramen-inspired bowl. And this was the result. Three out of four Goerzen’s thought it was awesome. One thought it would be better without the noodles (whose kid is this?! Not mine! LOL). Here’s how it came together!
