Today, I visited my hairdresser for a trim and a bit of color.  I have absurdly thick hair, and up until two years ago, it was also very very long.  My aunt actually used to call it my mane.  Here’s an embarrassing collegiate photo:

Yeah.  

A little over a year ago, I noticed that my hair wasn’t nearly as thick as it had been all my life.  It was never thin, but it was surprisingly normal – straightening it didn’t take the hour it used to.  Slowly but surely, though, as I graduated from a teaspoon of peanut butter to a tablespoon, from a tablespoon to multiple dips in the jar, from only peanut butter to avocados and olive oil as well, I saw my hair’s thickness return.

Today, my hairdresser commented that my hair has gotten even thicker.  I give credit to health, and to healthy fat.

My dinner tonight had healthy fats as the star:

I am still amazed by my food processor.

creamy cilantro pesto

• 1/2 c pine nuts, soaked for 2 hours or more
  
• juice of 1/4 lemon
  
• 1 bunch cilantro (including stems)
  
• 1-2 T nutritional yeast, to taste
• water, as needed

Blend pine nuts in food processor until creamy.  Add lemon juice, pulse to combine.  Add cilantro, nutritional yeast, and water if needed; pulse again until well combined.

I served some over shredded summer squash, steamed asparagus, sun dried tomatoes, and quinoa.  Yum.

Do you change your hairstyle often?
