Call for (healthy, gluten-free, vegan) Recipes
It’s hard to believe that in less than two months, we’ll be heading back to the beautiful U. S. of A. This means it’s finally time to start cleaning out the cupboards–and I need recipes! Our pantry is teeming with lentils, chickpeas, quinoa, beans…you name it. We have oodles of healthy vegan protein, but 1) [...]
You’re Stressing Me Out
Stress. Most of us are experts when it comes to stress, whether it comes in the form of crazy work days, a sick child, a breakup, or trying to figure out what’s making you sick. Right now, I’m in the middle of a pretty intense period at work: I’m at hagwon (private academy) from 9a-9p every [...]
T2C: A Day in the Life
This week, my darling Jen and I decided to confront temptation. To find out what a typical day in the life of a health nut is like, and how we make it through a regular (which often means stressful) day while still staying in the nutritional black, read on. Olivia ~ Seoul For a long [...]
i promise i’m not torturing my fiance
People’s reactions to the two week dream health challenge have certainly run the gamut. Specifically, reactions to the fact that Michael is joining me in this undertaking. Some people think it’s awesome and are curious to try a two week vegan challenge themselves. Others act as if I am inflicting a special form of torture [...]
blog follow-ups & a confession of a pescatarian
First, I wanted to take a quick second for a few small follow-ups: After some thought and reading responses to my name change post, the current leader for a new URL is GreenJunkieLiving.com. Any last suggestions/affirmations? I’ll likely begin the transition next week. I also wanted to make sure everyone’s seen the most recent healing [...]
recipe: mushroom-quinoa stuffed bell peppers
I am just over halfway through this Spent program, and I couldn’t be happier that I did this. I mean–WOW! But that’s for another post. One thing I’ve really been surprised by is how much delicious food I can still eat. At the moment, I’m sugar-free, booze-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, corn-free, fake-food-free. So it’s oodles [...]
goal overdrive
I like goals. They give me something definitive to work towards, and I have a sense of satisfaction when I’ve accomplished them. But I’m beginning to wonder if I haven’t gone into goal overdrive lately. I take this as a good sign because I finally have the energy to establish–and think about meeting–goals again. For [...]
recipe: 김치찌개 (kimchi soup)
I think it’s safe to say that one of my absolute favorite parts about living in Korea is kimchi jjigae, or kimchi soup. I eat it at least once a week, and it is always my example for how to talk about food with my TOEFL students. After hearing me wax poetic about this delicious, [...]
a slow transition to (mostly) vegan — part ii
Some people, like Lindsay, the kitchen genius behind Happy Herbivore, believe that being vegan is like being pregnant: you either are or you are not. You can’t be “sort of” vegan. I, on the other hand, choose to “embrace the gray,” to quote my dear friend Brigit. And I’m not alone. Even raw food goddess [...]
a slow transition to (mostly) vegan – part i
In high school, I was vegetarian for about two years—until my doctor told me that was why my health was so lousy. Foolishly I believed him. (And I know now that the reason I felt so awful all the time was because a. I have Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and my medicine hadn’t started fully working, b. [...]
