Welcome to Rants, Raves & Recipes! I plan to share anything and everything here from “the good, to the bad, to the tasty!” If you know me, then you know that’s what you get on a daily basis. I immerse myself in the literature on just about every imaginable topic impacting our health and vitality. I have a penchant for getting down to the biochemistry on everything and making the connections that matter to us. There is so much bombarding us today in the form of information and chatter that it is overwhelming, if not impossible to sort and make sense of. But that’s what I do—for myself, my family, friends, clients—anyone who will listen!

And oh yes—I am a Foodie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foodie)! You have undoubtedly heard this before: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Hippocrates, 460 B.C. This never gets old! It is wonderful! My kitchen is my lab, my playground, my temple! There is so much available to you in the way of whole food that can build your own shield of armor and bring us closer to Optimal Vitality. Cooking can be quick, smart and fun—whether for one or twenty people—a quick in-between snack or a large holiday gathering. I’ll be sharing things I find along the way that prove you NEVER need to compromise on your health.

Please, please, please, consider this blog a place where you can ask ANYTHING. And don’t try to “stump Peta” because if I don’t know the answer, you can bet I’ll find it!
