It’s About Time!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here and I wanted to give a quick update as I’ve been getting questions from all over…

YES! I’m still very much in practice and accepting referrals as well as your direct requests to schedule a complimentary Discovery Session. Call 1.877.211.0220 or email me at simla (at) enjoydelicioushealth (dot) com anytime to schedule.

My Delicious Health website has been down for over a year… which is normally a big no-no, I know. I know. It was a crazy busy year with many personal and professional transitions. With all that going on, as well as a full practice, I honestly just didn’t take the time to finish up and go live with my new website, write new blog posts, or issue my monthly eZine, Delicious Byte.

Will You Be Your Valentine? 3 Tips for Practicing the Art of Self Love

Valentine’s Day. We hear it and tend to associate the day with having a sweetheart to dote on. And, depending on our state of happy couple-dom or lack thereof, we either glow with anticipation or want to shrivel up and disappear in a corner somewhere.

What if none of that mattered?

What if your sweetheart was YOU? And you treated yourself like the love of your life?

We, especially as women, tend to take care of everything and everyone else before ourselves. Today I’d like to invite you to turn that way of being upside down. You’ll be a better better-half, mom, daughter, sister, co-worker, girlfriend, friend, and – above all - Self if you first take care of your own needs and happiness, from the inside out.

Not to mention, it’s perfect as a Valentine’s Day dessert if you’re having dinner at home.

Spaghetti Squash “Spaghetti” with Buffalo Bolognese Sauce

Who doesn’t love spaghetti? (If you say “me!” I want to hear from you; otherwise this is a rhetorical question.)

Talk about winter comfort food. And a healthy version at that! In this dish, using spaghetti squash in the place of spaghetti gives you a low-carb infusion of dense nutrients and fiber, and using ground buffalo gives you a beef alternative that provides a lower-fat boost of warming proteins for a well-rounded, delicious dish that is sure to become a new favorite.

If you are a woman entrepreneur or are in the process of transitioning to becoming an entrepreneur, you will likely face some or all of the following challenges if you haven’t already:

Quince Jam

Have you ever heard of quince? Have you ever bitten into one?

It’s a popular Mediterranean fruit – also used extensively in Latin America such as in the form of Dulce Membrillo in Argentina – that I’m seeing more and more in the US and that I’d like to introduce you to if you’re not yet acquainted.

This recipe creates one of my favorite treats in the world. Quince is a popular winter fruit in Turkey and making jam with it allows us to enjoy it all year round.

Grief & Gratitude ~ Leftover Thoughts from Thanksgiving

The holidays can be a time of intense emotions, not to mention the added pressure of heading into a new year wrought with the expectations of new heights to scale, achievements to cross off, the better person you want to become…

In the midst of all this, have you ever noticed your heart’s true capacity for emotion? Or its ability to cradle multiple emotions at once?

Your Magnificent Liver: Get to Know, Love & Treat Yours Well

October is National Liver Awareness Month. Are you ready to love your liver?

I love mine. Dearly. After reading this, you’ll love yours too.

About 5.5 years ago, when my health pretty much exploded and I was lost in the maze of conventional medicine, one of the complications I had was medication-induced hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) and pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).

Trust me, it sucked.

No thanks to that and a cluster of many, many other health issues, I was laid up in bed for months. I had to leave my career and go on disability for the ensuing two years.
