When I started this blog, I was a new yoga teacher, teaching one or two classes a week, with lots of time on my hands. And in that free time, I played around with creating easy healthy recipes to share.

FYG Fall Breakfast Ideas
Green Apples + Raw Walnuts
Now that it’s Fall, a busy time of swirling activity and change, I’m looking for a grounding seasonal breakfast to start my day. Don’t know about you, but I can get into a morning rut. Always having the same thing…usually some variation of raw or minimally cooked oatmeal, nuts and seeds.
As recent as five years ago, I was mostly eating boxed cereal for breakfast. I thought this was fine, even healthy. I’ve learned so much since then. I wouldn’t dream of eating that way now. First of all, boxed cereal is not a food, it’s a processed food product. There is nothing in nature that resembles a Cherrio or Fruit Loop.

Wanderlustful Açaí Bowl
I spent last weekend doing yoga and more yoga at Wanderlust Festival Austin. I took classes from rockstar yogis, like Shiva Rea, Seane Corn, Janet Stone and MC Yogi. We posed, we flowed, we flew, we laughed, we danced and we had a blast. And since we were in Austin, we ate some pretty good food too.

Bananas Foster Quinoa Porridge
Until I moved to Houston, I had never been to New Orleans. Hard to believe, I know. Such a fabulous city and I’m completely in love with it now. The people are probably the friendliest in the entire country and the food is beyond compare. Going to New Orleans as a vegan can be a challenge, but certainly not impossible. I was inspired by the city’s most famous dessert, to make this super satisfying, yummy vegan breakfast porridge.
To start, I made a batch of quinoa, which is a wonderful gluten-free grain that is a breeze to make. Just pick up a package, any kind, white, red, black, and follow the instructions. This can be done in advance, the night before is ideal. I used the tri-color quinoa from Trader Joe’s.
