| | Hi Azriel,
Happy Spring and happy Nutrition Month! I feel like I have whiplash from watching this year go by so quickly. You? February brought a fantastic opportunity for me to serve as the pro bono nutritionist for the Plastiki crew, which in part inspired this month's article: Prepping the Perfect Pantry {or, A Peek into a Holistic Nutritionist's Pantry}. The Plastiki is a 60-foot catamaran made from reclaimed plastic bottles. It will sail from San Francisco to Sydney this month to bring attention to the world's wasteful use of resources as well as to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, estimated to be about twice the size of Texas - the world's largest "land"fill. Documentary to follow on National Geographic - how cool is that?! Read more about the Plastiki on my blog here. After a sold-out March 1st workshop on The Food-Mood Connection, I'm busy preparing for the hands-on cooking workshop, Eat Smart, Work Smart: A Culinary Roadmap for the Busy Professional / Entrepreneur on April 1st, where we'll be exploring delicious nutrition tips and recipes for taming your stress and fueling your life. Scroll down for details and to RSVP. This month's recipe is an Easy Grain Salad. Simple and nutritious, it's a delicious dish you can prepare in a hurry, drawing on ingredients already in your (perfect) pantry. On a personal note: When Spring sprung forth early this year in SF, I resumed my workouts with a vengeance after a couple of months spent in physical, um,... hibernation? Right now, my body is craving yoga 2-3 times a week and the Bar Method (ow!) 1-2 times a week, with hiking once a week. Bikini body, here I come! I can't tell you how GOOD it feels to be ABLE to do these workouts when just 3 years ago I could barely walk. Fellow autoimmune peeps - it's possible, please know that, even if it doesn't feel like it right now. If you haven't read my story yet about how I came to live fantastically well with my multiple autoimmune conditions, you can check it out here. Or, share it with someone you care about who lives with autoimmune. This is the information I wish I had when I was drowning in the deep end, and it could really make a huge difference for you, or them. I hope you enjoy your Byte.

by Simla Somturk Wickless, MBA, CHC, CNE I was inspired to write this article by my recent work as the pro bono nutritionist for the Plastiki crew as well as a reader's question (below - thanks, Nick!), plus an upcoming visit to a client's home to do a pantry raid and audit. Fun! Nick's question was: "What do you keep your fridge or pantry stocked with? Or what is always on your shopping list?" The answer is... CLICK HERE to read on.

This recipe was born when I was staring at a bunch of leftovers in my fridge one day, wondering what the heck I was going to eat for a quick but satisfying lunch on a busy day...
Good thing I had my pantry in order.
| | Simla Recommends | | Intimidated by Yoga? Try This.
As a beginner yoga practitioner, I thank my lucky downward dogs that I found a fantastic teacher I feel comfortable learning - and making tons of mistakes - with. It took me YEARS to get the courage to attend classes regularly.
Yoga has quickly become a very rewarding part of my life and I would hate to think you're holding back from trying it because you feel intimidated.
I found this DVD from the Yoga Journal, which presents the basics of yoga crisply and simply, which may help ease your way as you find your inner yogi / yogini.
Yoga Journal's Complete Beginner's Guide with Video Pose Encyclopedia here. $24.99
It's a DVD, so you can travel with it too.
Let me know if you try it out!
Note: I have no monetary relationship with any of the people, practitioners, places, or programs I recommend unless I specifically note otherwise. I just want to share these amazing resources with you!
