I ♥ breakfast


One chilly desert morning last March, my family and I sat down for breakfast at Eklecticafe in Moab, Utah. It’s a tiny place along the main drag—a converted home with a yard full of statues and a giant tiled coffee cup out front. My husband and I have


What inspires me


I love mushrooms, especially shiitakes. Turns out even


button mushrooms (page 44) contain phytochemicals to

shared many fond meals there since we took our first Moab road trip more than a decade ago.

“Breakfast Bowls” (page 25), inspired by that meal. Perhaps the title doesn’t do it justice: Tink of the recipes as anytime meals. (I’ll eat the “Good Morning Wakame” bowl morning, noon, or night.)

Happily, tropical fruits and nuts—including two former no-nos, coconut and macadamia nuts—are on the “yes” list for your heart (“Bright Foods, Healthy Heart,” page 37). And finally, get ready to glow! Find this year’s Beauty &


Body Award winners on page 30. Tese must-have products and exemplary companies make life just a little more beautiful.
