Last week I was in the hospital with a Crohn’s flare-up.

This post was inspired by a comment I left for my friend Rose Cole, an amazing holistic nutritionist who “told it like it was” on her blog and admitted that she hadn’t exercised in 6 months.

Raw Food Recipe: Green Buzz Soup

January 1, 2010

Okay, this started out as my first attempt at making a savory green smoothie. (After 10 months of being raw, it’s shocking that I hadn’t had one before! Always just had green fruit smoothies.)
