I met Mike at a Xmas party in Staten Island in 1997. I was pregnant with my oldest, Winona, and he was dating my friend, Rachel (we call her Doc Rocket). The only thing I wanted during that whole pregnancy was sausage, pepper and onion sandwiches from Miggy’s, a neighborhood Italian grocery store, and M&Ms. That night, Mike ran out and got me a pack of M&Ms… we’ve been friends ever since.
Mike never gave me junk food again, but he has fed me on many occasions. He even gave me my first gravity-method colonic (kind of the opposite type of help, but good for me nonetheless). He’s a raw food vegan for more than 16 years, a detox consultant, and a natural food chef (who makes the most killer raw desserts I’ve ever tasted… I mean, even my husband and kids love them).
I brought Mike to South Jersey all the way from NYC to help me revive my Yummy Mondays for a three-week mini-series of three easy-to-follow recipes that are basically un-mess-up-able. If I can do it, you can do it!
We had so much fun making these little videos for you, so I hope you like them… try it, and let me know how it goes! xoxo
