MY MESSAGE TO YOU

from Dr. Maya Nicole Baylac





Are you sick and tired of barely making it through your day?

Feeling depressed, hopeless and exhausted? Is the life drama you created not entertaining you anymore? You do not have to be in this prison forever. Are you ready for something else?



It is time for a major change in your life! You have nothing to lose except your old habits that keep you trapped. If you are ready to leave the cage and begin a new life,… Continue

I go through phases of drinking Matcha tea religiously every day and then not at all... I am in the every day phase right now and I just had my last scoop!!! I guess its off to teavana for me. They are the closest Matcha retailers in my area and they are 20 minutes away. I need to be better at planning ahead!

Oh, if your not too sure what Matcha is, it is a powdered form of green tea. Matcha is a traditional ceremonial tea in japan made from ground green tea leaves. The health benefits of… Continue

Well, we are officially off the ground!
It feels like it took a lifetime to get here but I am so excited to be able to share it with everyone now. We are already coming up with new content for next month and incorporating even more tools to make healthy eating easy and attainable.
Now its a matter of letting people know our site is available, so help me spread the word!

I was a complete nut case last week (and I'm an Art Therapist, so I can say that with authority!). I am trying so hard to get all the content for Nourish This ready to go so it can launch as soon as possible. Last week my web designer called me and suggested (strongly) that we have finished product photos for all recipes... although I agreed 100%, I only had 4 photos out of 25. Clearly I had some work to do.

It surprisingly only took two trips to the grocery store and 4 days to complete… Continue

So, as my name very clearly indicates, I am of Irish heritage (from my dad's side at least). Anyway, as such, we partake in the traditional St. Patrick's day traditions, a little Guinness, corn beef and cabbage, wearing green head to toe... my uncle even marches in the NY St. Patty's Day Parade, and of course Irish Soda Bread. The first couple years of being Gluten-Free I was missing out on the Guinness, corn beef and Irish Soda Bread... the last of which I was most distraught about! Anyway, as… Continue

As most of you know, I am trying to get our Nourish This website off the ground very soon. Today I was able to see the flash animated home page for the first time and I am SO EXCITED!! It looks terrific, beyond anything I could have hoped for. I can't wait to have it up and ready for everyone to use :)
Stay tuned!

Sophie requested more quinoa recipes so I thought I would start her out with this one! This is a recipe to have along side your dinner (or as your dinner!).

First and foremost it is important to RINSE your quinoa before cooking. Doing this helps get rid of that bitter taste quinoa can sometimes have. Ok, now, cook quinoa in one part water, one part chicken broth... it only takes about 10-12 minutes after coming to a boil.

While it is cooking, chop up some spanish olives, grape… Continue

My brother either sees this as an advantage or disadvantage... you decide! He lives close by and so when I am experimenting with new recipes, I use him as my guinea pig. The thing you have to remember is that I am experimenting!! SO, it is not always a success. It has been a little less than a week since I have tried to come up with a new one, so I figured I would write 3 recipes, make them and stick them in Ryan's freezer. I know he will call me and say "uh, how do I heat this up?" so… Continue

Last week I stayed with a friend in Boston before a doctors appointment. Once I parked (or he parked for me cause I was incapable of doing so without driving into a snow embankment... a task with which he accomplished with ease!), we tried to figure out what to make for dinner (this was about 5). Then we went to the grocery store, and THEN started dinner. I am telling you all this so you know how easy as pie it was to make!! I think it took us about 20 minutes total once we started… Continue

I know so many people that skip breakfast. I don't get it because if I skip a meal I feel like I have not eaten for a week and I might fall over and pass out! But thats just me!



The point is, even if you can skip breakfast or have an aversion to eating in the morning, my advise is suck it up and do it anyway! The Mayo Clinic lays out 5 pretty convincing reasons we all should fit a good morning meal into our routine...

1. You are more likely to consume more vitamins and minerals… Continue
