The Magic Of People

I've been reflecting on the different experiences throughout my life, and ive realized a common theme among these experiences.  My happiness and contentment is never determined by the external world, but the connection I have with myself, and most importantly the people around me.

In Hawaii, my life on the outside was perfect.  I parked my van on a friend's driveway right next to his giant food forest jungle (that I could eat anything I wanted from!).  I worked a great jo...

Beans and Summer Salsa

The Best Beans In The World (Honest!)

In my opinion, the key to this recipe is using dry black beans instead of from a can.  Freshly cooked beans could potentially change your life.  Yes they are that good, my entire family agrees as well.  Cooking beans from scratch also saves you tons of money.  I was eating for 3 dollars a day last year ( to save for my tiny house) and most of my diet was rice and beans (haha). During that time is when i mastered the art of beans,...

My Secret Traditional Chai Recipe

Today i'm going to be tell you all about the most amazing chai in the WORLD.

I tried so many different cups of chai when i was living in India.  I can still remember those cold mornings walking down the street and buying a cup from a man who was hand grinding fresh spices with his mortar and pestle on the side of the road.  Spicy, Sweet, Fragrant, and soooo creamy.  I dream of those days in India, and desperately miss that chai.

But through a lot of trial and error,...

The Importance Of Creativity

Five years ago I posted a video on a website called Vimeo.  I was probably 16 or 17 at the time.  I took the video during one of my first visits out to the farm, right after we bought the land. I had completely forgotten about this until I recently stumbled across my account on that website.   I remember how much fun I had creating that video, and how I dreamed of filming documentaries that instilled peace into the viewer.  

During this time in my life, I was fr...

A Body In Balance

When i'm not feeling very great mentally + physically, it's very easy for me to use this material world as a distraction away from myself.  Sit on my phone for hours, watch television, seclude myself from the rest of the world.  These “coping” mechanisms ultimately make me feel even worse, but in that moment are used as a distraction from the darkness within.

There’s been periods of my life where I've just sort of given up.  On everything.  Spending weeks layin...

My Journey To The Hawaiian Islands

College was one of the hardest times of my life.  Not because the information was difficult (i actually found the classes to be quite easy).  But because of how empty it made me feel.  Endless weeks of sitting in a library, or in giant lecture halls, or alone in my room with my face in a textbook.  Only to go out and party with people that only really cared about drinking, and doing drugs.  It was a weird place that felt so far from reality, it was hard for me to wrap...

The Best Fermented Cabbage (My Secrets)

Many people (including myself) have issues with making good batches of sauerkraut.  Over the years i have tried and failed many times.   This recipe has taken me years to perfect, but i've finally figured out the golden ratios to make the best Kraut i've ever had.   Sauerkraut is something where the ratios need to be exact, so a kitchen scale is absolutely necessary For this recipe.

i will be making beetroot kraut, but you can replace the beetroot with whatever ...

Recipe #1 (The best curry ever)

Let me tell you something about this curry recipe.  Ive been mastering this recipe ever sense i came back from India (2 years ago!).  A local lady taught me the simplicity of curry, and how you can turn virtually any vegetable into an amazing and extremely satisfying dish.

My entire family begs me to make this during every occasion, and a very optional (but amazing) addition is to serve this with homemade hummus.  Also don't fret, next weeks recipe with be a full detailed...

A Long Bus Ride Through Myanmar

Do you think that everything happens for a reason? Sometimes when negative things happen in life it's hard for me to understand why, and more importantly, what is the meaning of all of this?

I can reflect back on events in my life that did not go along with my “plan” and realize that those moments were extremely important in the evolution of my life, and ultimately my own consciousness.

Back when i was traveling in Asia and working different teaching jobs, there were moments l...
