"Outta Sight! Healthy, reduced fat, and unbelievably tasty! I served these at a family brunch and they were received quite well. If omitting the fruit, add nuts for textural stimulation. These would be great at Easter Brunch or in late summer when blueberries and lavender are in season. Recipe adapted from jemangelaville.com recipe"

Seattle, WA

I moved to Seattle from Alaska in August of 2001. I am a nutrition graduate from Bastyr Naturopathic University and am a personal trainer and holistic health counselor (receiving additional education from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition). I have opened up a practice in the Seattle area and love to assist people in meeting their health, fitness, and nutrition goals in person and by phone. I also love trying new recipes and testing them out of friends and family, but have missed cooking a great deal while transitioning from a student to a business owner. I'm hoping to have more time to experiment in the kitchen for both personal and business reasons! I have successfully three marathons in the last 3 years - running has been a great stress release for me and has been a wonderful way to make friends here. I'm passionate about sustainable food, running, nutrition, individual and world peace, turtles, and my friends. I have a strong dislike for cold weather and violence. If I had a month off and enough cash to do so, I would travel to Costa Rica and explore as much of the land there that I could get my hands on (then buy property for a wellness center)! If I had a month off with no money, I'd focus on my running, trying new recipes, deepening existing friendships and sleeping in! You may know me on this site as VeganRunner, but I am no longer maintaining a vegan lifestyle.
