I found this success story on the website and wanted to share.  Kind Lifer Jenny Samuel wrote about how following The Kind Diet has changed her entire family's life:

While I was pregnant with my daughter I decided to clean up my life and raise her organic and green. I met my husband when she was 1 he is a body builder and a very healthy active man.

My great friend Leisha came to visit me and her friends Lara and Maya in New York last week. Yay!  She came to see see my show on Sunday and then came home with me.  We opened some YellowBlue wine and I had half a glass of that.  The Organic Torrontes is sooo good.

So after a little wine we decided to go to Counter for dinner.  We had a nice stroll over there and a really great meal.  We shared a cocktail called the Slap & Tickle which is juniper green gin jalapeno cucumber and lime.  We als...

stella shoes on yoox.com

I am quite obsessed with Stella McCartney shoes.  They are so sexy so gorgeous and just make you feel like a full-on super woman when you wear them.  They are all vegan and have a little inscription on the bottom of every pair that says "suitable for vegetarians".  I love that part and often feel the need to show people the bottom of my shoes.  Also I am constantly getting complimented when I wear her shoes... People love them!

I enjoy a good deal as much as the next girl which is why you n...

my favorite homemade french toast

[image error]

This French Toast recipe is hands down the best one I have ever made.  It's pretty darn superhero meaning you could have it once a week and still maintain full superhero status.  If you aren't trying to lose weight you could have it twice a week and if you are a flirt have it every other day if you want!!!  It's sooooo good.   


Great French Toast


INGREDIENTS
Yeast-free bread slices French Meadow Summer Bread or whole spelt bread are good options
1 1/2 cups firm tofu
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

happy easter everyone!!

Wishing you all a great holiday this weekend with your family and friends.  Easter marks the end of the fasting season of Lent and the death on Good Friday and resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday.   The egg is seen as a sign of renewed life or resurrected life by breaking out of it.... hence the whole eggs and Easter deal. 

The Easter bunny and rabbit connection is a bit more involved.  It comes from the hare an ancient pre-Christian symbol of fertility associated with Spring.  Bu...
