Kale Chips with Allison Narofsky (Round 3)
January 29th, 2012 / Posted by fp naomi / PermalinkThe last edition (see the first here and here) of my healthy snack recipes for the New Year with Allison of Allison Eats! This one is a personal favorite of mine. My friends and I cook dinner together a lot. Before we even get started, we’ll stick these bad boys in the oven, so that they’ll come out before everything is ready and tide us over until the real meal. They’re so healthy and delicious. You can make them with all different spice/herb combinations, so this is just one – simple – version. Let us know how you like them!
Ingredients:
1 head of kale, rinsed and dried
Olive oil
Red pepper flake
Garlic Powder
Salt and pepper
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Separate kale leaves into chip-sized pieces either breaking it apart with your hands or using a knife.
- Place kale into a large bowl and mix with olive oil until evenly coated.
- Spread kale out onto a tinfoil-lined baking sheet, and sprinkle with garlic powder, red pepper, salt and pepper.
- Bake for about 20 minutes until the leaves turn crispy. Half way through you will want to stir them up
- Serve!
Now you have three healthy snacks! Hope you all have had a great first month of 2012!

The Girl With 7 Horses
January 28th, 2012 / Posted by fp julia / Permalink
“Once upon a time there was a girl who had 7 invisible horses. People thought she was crazy and that she in fact had 7 imaginary horses, but this was not the case. When autumn came the girl spent a whole day washing all her clothes. She hung them on a string in her garden to let the gentle autumn sun dry them. Out of nowhere, a terrible storm came and its fierce-full winds grabbed a hold of all her clothes and all seven horses (authors note: since they are invisible they obviously didn’t weigh much). The girl was devastated and spent all autumn looking for each horse spread around the country, wrapped in her clothes.”
I was so taken with this photography project by Ulrika Kestere, I had to share. Wonderfully creative and beautiful!

January 28th, 2012 / Posted by fp naomi / PermalinkDO: Set a far reaching goal
To tell you the truth, I missed a few days of my “5 Sun Salutations a day for 30 days” challenge. Each time I missed a day, I ended up getting really down on myself. I felt like it was just one little goal that I couldn’t accomplish.
Eventually, I realized that I needed to let up on myself. It’s not the only goal I have set right now, I have a lot – probably too many. I sat back and realized that I’ve still made improvements. I’m now doing yoga more than twice as often as I used to, and I feel the results.
The lesson I’ve learned is this: You’re human – sometimes you’ll set goals and fail in carrying them out completely. What matters is that you set a goal and that you tried. At the very least you’ll wind up some place in between where you were before, and what you set out to do. You can’t accomplish every grand goal immediately. What you can do, is at least set them and begin to work toward what you want instead of sitting there static.
So figure out something grand,amazing,far-reaching that you want and set a goal. Work on all of the things you want to work on, but don’t expect to see completion on all of them right away.You may not accomplish goals the first time around, but you’ll be much closer for even trying.

This seriously touched me so much. I often fear setting goals because I am afraid to fail. Even though Im fully aware that many people fail a lot and I am not the only one to do so. I am growing older and in a few years I should be getting a real job in the real job and officially starting my adult life. I need to start setting REAL goals and work toward them and have faith in myself that I can do things I set my mind to! Thank you for your words. They seem to be exactly what I need to hear right now.

Walnut Street Wall
January 27th, 2012 / Posted by fp julia / PermalinkI took so many photos of this one wall in our Philly store, I felt like I needed to give it its own post. There was so much to look at, it took my breath away. Artwork, potted plants, memorabilia from around the world had my eyes darting back and forth, snapping away with my camera trying to capture it all. One of the coolest parts? Some of the artwork is actually for sale!
