About Me:
I live in San Jose in the capital of the Silicon Valley in California. I became vegetarian in the late 80's.

I enjoy cooking healthy recipes for my family, blogging about healthy meals, making easy soaps for my friends, reading about health and nutrition, and walking almost everyday.
Website:

What are your goals?
Live healthy & happy :)
Favorite Music:
The 80's to listen during the day and Enigma when I need to relax
Favorite TV Shows:
I like the cooking show "Made in Spain" by Jose Andres, a Spanish chef who brought Tapas (small plates) to America. His recipes are not all vegetarian but I can always get the best ones from him or make them vegetarian with the meat substitutes from the market.

Walking, going up the hills, and some stretching
What diets have you tried?
I don't diet but eat right.
What things do you want to do before you die?
Go to Europe, Middle East and have my own business
What is your favorite book?
I do not have any in particular but enjoy reading cooking & Ancient History books. Right now, I am reading different books about nutrition.

Didn't mean you cooked fish....The Missus eats vegetarian with fish, hence the fishetarian. That basically means she cooks a lot of tofu dishes and seitan and tempeh...and since she does dinner duty, that's what I eat. So I'm sure she'll love getting new ideas from your site (in the vegetarian route). Sometimes my Irish english doesn't come out right!

Hi Susana; I came to your blog to request you as a friend. Your pictures have made me so hungry. I am going to eat.

I like the pictures you took on your walk as well. :)

Glad I checked out your site! The Missus is a fishetarian, as she likes to call herself, so I know she'll love checking out your recipes. I especially liked the pyramid for vegans...great info!

That's what I thought--@ 28 weeks sounds like it may be a tough choice for women to "break" the cycle, though. Thanks for posting this very important information which, I'm sure, will benefit women for something to be aware of.

yes, of course, we don't know what causes gestational diabetes, but we have some clues. The placenta supports the baby as it grows. Hormones from the placenta help the baby develop. But these hormones also block the action of the mother's insulin in…

Interesting. Isn't it fairly typical for most pregnant women to gain weight anyway though?
