Chef Amy gives us a healthy, dairy-free version of a Thanksgiving favorite.
She chose healthy fats, like coconut oil, as an alternative to butter, and used coconut milk to give sweet potatoes a creamy, thick consistency. Warm autumn spices and a touch of maple syrup add a rich flavor the whole family will love!

Have you ever searched for happiness in a glass of wine? Was happiness hiding in the new bag you just purchased? How happy did you feel after binge watching a whole season of House Of Cards on Netflix?
It’s ok, we’ve all been there before and you’re not alone. Everyone has searched for happiness in some form outside of him or her self- whether conscious of it or not. Though you may enjoy the quick high or entertaining distraction from what you are feeling, this immediate rush and diversion only ends up fueling even more discontent.
For many of us, including Dr. Blum, unhappiness stems from a disconnection with your true self. To change these default habits, you have to have a better understanding of the most important person in your life…you!
During our Happiness Retreat on June 6th, Susan Blum, MD, MPH and Elizabeth Greig, MSN, FNP, will give you the tools you need to reconnect to the true you. Our signature one-day retreat is designed to offer an enjoyable learning experience with simple, practical mind-body techniques that you can use everyday.
Come learn new skills, explore your inner world, and move to the music! Pharrell got it right when he wrote, “happiness is your truth”. Come discover the happier you!

Your body will benefit from cleansing at any time of the year, but there’s a reason why spring is a special season for detox. When the weather starts to shift, so does the energy in your body. It’s a time to release the old and make space to welcome the new.
1. Come out of hibernation. Hit the reset button and clean up your diet after a long winter to assist your body’s shift into spring. During the winter your body needs more moisture, therefore we eat foods that are richer and higher in fat. Sweep out of this excess moisture and lighten up with liver supportive, low-fat greens, vegetables, and juices.
2. Eat alongside nature. The winters grounding root vegetables, warm soups and hearty meals become “off-season” for both your body and the earth. The ground starts to soften and rain adds moisture to the soil. Lighter vegetation sprouts like crisp greens, light fruits, and herbs arise in abundance. Feed your body with these spring vegetables and live in tune with nature.
3. Clear out mind clutter. Just like the rain washes away the snow and prepares the ground for new growth, so should your efforts to clean out the toxins in your body and the negative patterns in your mind, making room for new thoughts and positive experiences. It’s the perfect time of year to get “unstuck” and get active. Take advantage of the warm weather, begin a new exercise program, or start meditating.
There’s lots of different ways to begin a detox program. At Blum Center for Health we offer a variety of programs in May, whether it be a 5-Day, or 21-Day detox program, or make small steps to big change and take a cooking or meditation class.
