The hardest part of my trip yesterday was just getting to the airport that morning and getting on the plane to Detroit. Up until that point, there was the option of turning around. Not that I would have, of course, but just having the option, no matter how small the chances are of taking it, makes things infinitely more challenging. It introduces the element of doubt, and the tendency to hem and haw and spin one's wheels. But once I was up in the air on the first plane, it was smooth sailing from there. I was free.

I kept telling myself, "Everything'll be OK," mostly as a distraction to keep me from flying off the handle. But mere minutes from embarking on a long overdue return to the Philippines, I'm finally beginning to believe it.

Filipino Sauteed Mung Beans: A Childhood Favorite
In six days, I will be on a plane to the Philippines with my family.

Organic: To Buy or Not to Buy?
That is the question. And with the recent study from the Center for Health Policy at Stanford that came to the conclusion that organic products do not differ significantly from conventional products in terms of health benefits or nutritional value, it's a question that seems to beg answers more than ever.

Ratio Rally! Gluten-Free, Vegan Flour Tortillas
This is easily one of my favorite recipes that I've shared to date.
I honestly love each recipe I share with you here, but there are some that are just special, that have that extra little something, and take you by surprise. Like these soft, pliable, and yet sturdy flour tortillas that just happen to be gluten-free, grain-free, and vegan. Yup - you heard correct.
